anyone know anything about this group ikons?

Just listened to "Africa" - it's "Hallogallo" with Sonic Boom guitars instead of Rother's. Will definitely check this out. Hope there'll be some more 'challenging' tracks too, despite loving the shit out of every Neu!-clone I encounter :)

ya this ikons stuff is sounding pretty good on first listen. sounds like a less bubbly, more psychedelic version of something that would be out on dc records

i have listened to that ikons and agree it sounds good on first listen however over repeated listens it gets samey. certain tracks really start off strong and then you are left with a "this song needs another change to really be great feeling. i can see certain djs using parts of the songs, cutting them up and seguewaying them into something awesome tho ala optimo.

are there only two lissvik remixes?

plaxico (I know, right?), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 19:31 (3 years ago) Permalink

I only have two. The Fever Ray and This Is Head. Both are great.

brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 19:56 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah those are the two i have, i was kinda hoping there were more

y'know Taken by Trees is touring with El Perro Del Mar. One album produced by Rasmus, the other by Lissvik. If only those guys would be on tour with them. I'm going to see the show but I'm not expecting it to come close to the beauty that is captured on the studio versions.

1 month passes...

Bought this on a whim last night, and while I was initially upset at myself for my disgusting lack of restraint in spending money on music, I knew it would all be well after I listened to it, and (halfway through the last track) I can say all is better than well.

This is a damn near perfect album, if not a bona-fide perfect album.

We jus' havin' fun, so don't act like you don't want my money, hon (EDB), Thursday, 4 March 2010 03:27 (3 years ago) Permalink

I saw the El Perro Del Mar / Taken By Trees show last week and it was incredible. They shared a band who basically sounded like a looser, country-fied Studio. The band was fantastic and created the same spaced out groove Lissvik and Rasmus put on their latest albums.

^gah, didn't know this was happening and it came to my town yesterday! so bummed

psychgawsple, Thursday, 4 March 2010 07:25 (3 years ago) Permalink

country-fied Studio

sounds like the best thing ever (cosmic american music?)

willem, Thursday, 4 March 2010 07:31 (3 years ago) Permalink

sorry can't be bothered to read the thread - have these guys split up or something? How come no follow-up to 'West Coast'?

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 4 March 2010 09:45 (3 years ago) Permalink

Busy in 2009: Lissvik in the Crêpes, also producing other artists (Lissvik did Taken by Trees, Hägg did Fontän and El Perro del Mar). But I totally agree that it's time for new Studio material!

willem, Thursday, 4 March 2010 10:24 (3 years ago) Permalink

also Yearbook 2 was a followup to West Coast

you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:10 (3 years ago) Permalink

Not really, it was a compilation of remixes.

Matt DC, Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:21 (3 years ago) Permalink

right. and if anything "yearbook 2" was a follow up to "yearbook 1"

shite new answers (cutty), Thursday, 4 March 2010 21:56 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah but it's still stuff they did after West Coast instead of splitting up

i'm starting to think there may be no more original material from these guys. which i GUESS i can deal with if they keep evolving as amazing producers/remixers, but it's still kind of a bummer. did they ever tour the us?

This is what I say to myself every day... :(

they don't have any definite album release plans, although they have three albums worth of material 'in the can.'

Someone find and open that can

van smack, Friday, 5 March 2010 00:23 (3 years ago) Permalink

i still think 'Indo' is their best track, and i don't like their remixes.

Are you afraid of rhythm?

Tim F, Sunday, 7 March 2010 02:59 (3 years ago) Permalink

their shout out louds remix is one of my favorite things they've done

i'm bit sure if i like it better, but i listen to yearbook 2 more than yearbook 1.

anyone know what these guys are up to lately?

me wants revenge (Future_Perfect), Friday, 14 May 2010 17:50 (3 years ago) Permalink

I hear they're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing their computer out the window because they want to make something real.

mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:35 (3 years ago) Permalink

um has anybody heard any of the tracks that lists on the cover?

plax (ico), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:35 (3 years ago) Permalink

lol

plax (ico), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:35 (3 years ago) Permalink

idk kinda looks like a graphic design project to me

a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:39 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah, it does

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:41 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah i guess, probably a bit weak compared w/ their previous design too

plax (ico), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:43 (3 years ago) Permalink

the guys in studio would know better than to use that font for the tracklisting imo

a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:44 (3 years ago) Permalink

looking for info on this led me to parlour's myspace page. excellent stuff.

mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 18:24 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah Parlour are great and being slept on here in ILxor.

my opinionation (Hamildan), Saturday, 5 June 2010 21:29 (3 years ago) Permalink

naw we discussed them in the old balearic thread

cutty, Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:18 (3 years ago) Permalink

listened to the Kylie remix again today, the first guitar chops in that might be my favourite gtr in all of Studio

Señor Communications Adviser (sic), Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:25 (3 years ago) Permalink

is this the ''parlour'' band you're talking about? they sound less balearic and more post-rock-y.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:42 (3 years ago) Permalink

no, this one: http://www.myspace.com/parlourrecordings

mizzell, Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:49 (3 years ago) Permalink

googler is a really stupid album title, btw, even if it is named after the googly eyes on the cover and not the search engine

mizzell, Sunday, 6 June 2010 16:44 (3 years ago) Permalink

So does anyone have any concrete information about Yearbook 3?

Or are people here thinking that jpg is some sort of hoax?

groovypanda, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:15 (3 years ago) Permalink

Why on earth would anyone* go to the trouble of putting together a fake Studio album and poster?

*Okay maybe except Max but he would never joke about matters of such importance.

Matt DC, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:23 (3 years ago) Permalink

i believe it is real

cutty, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:26 (3 years ago) Permalink

haha yeah liking this bizarro ilx world where people would bother putting together fakes with actual promo pix for stadium balearo-rockers the Studio.
