Hey I am really liking this album.
And I *do* see the Gabriel thing, at least on a few of the songs - early era Gabriel, not shit like "sledgehammer" ffs. Something about the production and vocal work.
It has a real 80s 4AD feel to it as well: a bit Clan of Xymox, a bit Modern English, in feel.
I am liking this muchly on first listen.

Stuff like "Slow" on the other hand sounds massively Morrisey-esque.
YES i knew the gabriel was there thanks trayce

hey guys i'm looking for max's official thread on this band, is this it?

I've been loving the shit out of a few bands doing this kind of dreamy 80s pop lately - Bell Hollow, Veil Veil Vanish, old Prids stuff.
xpost haha.

I find that hard to believe, given that max started the official ilm thread
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 21 October 2010 15:23 (2 years ago) Permalink
just to clear up any confusion, cutty "hipped" max to the band!

no one is wondering in what manner i "hipped" max to the recording artist known as twin shadow
(it was a gentle whisper in his ear)

Hey a question on this dude - why is the video for "Slow" tagged "NSFW" on the 4AD site/on youtube? I couldnt see anything that would require that tag except what appeared to be a ver brief reference to a smack needle stabbity hole in his arm at the start or I dont know?

Does the chorus of "Tyrant Destroyed" go "as you sat sinking in my head" or "as you sat sick in my head"?
IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERNENCE.
(I thought it was "sick", but a lyric site suggests otherwise. Are there lyrics on the elpee?)
