Loving the stuff I've heard so far, esp. Summer Holiday and Live in Dreams. Wistful nostalgic pop with Marr-ish jangle. Debut album apparently coming out soon

thats the one. i havent heard that single, but i liked the first one. i think i ordered this LP, too. based on my prior experience w cap-trax, i think that means i won't actually receive it HEYO

aw I like the godawful Kate Bush cover. But maybe only because I really really like the synth sound on the string hook bit. None of the few of their own songs I've heard have done much for me, though.

Warmest Chord is a new British record label run by folks from Rough Trade and Make Mine. The label places a great deal of emphasis on design and packaging, and every release will come with a limited edition screenprint, as well as a digital mixtape created by the band whose music is on the release. The artist who designed the release’s screenprint will also revamp the label’s logo with every new release.The first release on Warmest Chord is Evertide, a new EP from the recently BNM’ed lo-fi pop project Wild Nothing. Up above, you can download one of the three tracks from Evertide, which is available now in a ridiculously limited edition of 75 and also as a digital album. (You can stream another track on the label’s Bandcamp page.)Franz Vesolt designed the two-in-one phosphorescent/glow-in-the-dark screenprint packaging, and every record will come numbered, labeled, and stamped. We’ve got the tracklist below.

Probably my fav band of the past 3 months of the year, I actually don't like some of the singing and some of the lyrics - but it works as a whole. Their albums so far have been really consistent.

The ep is marvellous - I played the LP a lot but it pales next to Golden Haze.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 00:08 (2 years ago) Permalink
Saw them the other week - very weak performance, absolutely no enthusiasm (& yeah I realize the dream/shoegaze-esque formatting, but come on and tap your foot at the least). Love their last album's artwork tho, really one of my favorites from that year.
― kelpolaris, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 00:48 (2 years ago) Permalink
That "performance" sounds perfect!
― Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 00:58 (2 years ago) Permalink
ha, well i was pretty conscious of the archetypal shoegazer provisions for a "concert" but these guys have just far too melodic working material to just stand around and insist "this is all about the music, man". i GET IT with mbv and such, but in their cases it really was both essential to their methods and allure, whereas these dudes i felt where just doing it because they knew their predecessors did. slowdive/ride/swirlies did plenty of rocking out on stage, and had as equally mellow songs.
― kelpolaris, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 03:03 (2 years ago) Permalink
Swirlies didn't go nuts when I saw them, but I was distracted by the amazing songs so my memory is fuzzy.
― Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 03:14 (2 years ago) Permalink
agreed. The EP is just fucking awesome. Love the LP too.
I saw them recently and really liked it, my only complaint was that several songs were cut in half! (stopped verses short of the end for some reason - every song was like 1:45 long, weird)

Holy shit.
Has anyone heard "A Dancing Shell"? New EP comes out tomorrow.
Un-fucking-believable. I almost thought it was the wrong band. What does it sound like to me? Scritti Politti, Human League, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds, AR Kane, Style Council, hints of acid house, and probably a lot of even more obvious stuff I'll talk with my therapist about when I get back next week.

― peel hat-trick narrows (electricsound), Monday, 13 May 2013 22:57 (1 week ago) Permalink
Saw them last fall, like Sept or Oct and completely disagree. Their llive set emphasized the simultaneous muscularity of the sound and boredom of the vocals. Sarah/c86 I associate with thin production.. This sound was big.

it had very little to do with the bigness or otherwise of the sound. melodically and instrumentally there was a lot of the wake in what they were doing, orchids too
― peel hat-trick narrows (electricsound), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 00:03 (1 week ago) Permalink
Yes, there's a big influence, but what I'm saying is that they're doing something much bigger and more important. And when they play live it's more modern than that thin sounding indie.

Wow, I was getting pretty hammered last night.
Anyway, just woke up to the full EP. This is a record that confounds and delights. It's got a lot to do with Bowie also, I think it sounds like Low.
Trying to arrange a 12" copy from my local record shop but the guy hasn't got back to me yet.

None of them really address how different the music is on this EP. They kind of talk about Wild Nothing in a general way, but none of them really sit down and try to understand the rationale for the stylistic shift.
― fields of salmon, Wednesday, 15 May 2013 23:48 (6 days ago) Permalink
Well, I guess "rationale" isn't the right word, but maybe "significance."
how would you characterize the shift? i'd be interested to hear...
