Late of the Pier = Indie/Synthy/Shouty/blahblahblah. But I like.

Well, they're in NYC right now and not planning on going home for a while so it might be a while. Sorry!

And they're more textural than angular. (ha ha, ILM bugbear words)

Now, you just hand them back, d'you hear?!

Another band who match their jumpy angular/textural (!) electronics to a trad live rhythm section, without any pre-programmed beats, are Holy Fuck. They were astonishing when I saw them play last week.

first band in ages i want to go out and see live (and not just from kate's enthusiasm)

(actually go on tour with, be a roadie for, if i'm getting just a little carried away.)

also: what mike said about inventive and instinctive and reckless.

I am actually going to go to ::GASP:: Bugged Out at Heaven to see them again. Oh, the shame!

ooh-er

Hi, there. How yz all been?

(bye)

It's not Kate Moross what did the artwork. Apparently it's a man named Daniel Has Potential.

Very interesting stuff - I *love* the map of the album he did, I wish that had been included in the album as a poster or something!

just saw them in a ridiculously sweaty zodiac/carling academy/whatever it is now: by the end they were topless, and all I could think was 'oh if only Kate were here!'

they were ace, btw.

Biggest disappointment of 2008 albums list = where the fuck is Fantasy Black Channel

So anyway, I take it this bunch have packed it, yeah?

so young, peace god

These guys were really great. What ever became of them?

the main songwriter joined connan mockasin for the completely incredible 'please turn me into the snat/forever dolphin love' album. then left connan mockasin who subsequently put out a lamentable record last year. absolutely no idea on the others

That explains so much about Connan Mockasin

that album last year was so pathetic, and after such a truly classic record

I know this is going to sound uncharitable, but they're one of those bands I'm *so glad* never put out a followup. After the amount of hype, and the impossibility of sustaining it, and how many brilliant bands get savaged for failing to reach the giddy heights of their debut - I just think it's so much better that they put out one such perfect record, and then disappeared. It's just a fantastic artefact of a moment. I don't want to know what happened next.
