What's up with albums from dudes formerly in hardcore/screamo bands taking a ride on the Pfork disco stick lately? Dude quits Poison the Well, forms Sleigh Bells with kindergarten teacher = Best New Music. Dude quits American Nightmare/Give Up the Ghost, forms Cold Cave with noize dude and chick from Xiu Xiu = also highly regarded. Are there other examples of this recently?

wow, weird observation, but OTM nonetheless. i have another one to add: guitarist recently quits daughters, joins up with a little band called fang island. BNM on pfork as well.

I thought you must have meant on the iTunes "indie' subcategory, but no, you are right. I think this kind of reflects the disparity between people who buy albums via iTunes versus people who buy singles via iTunes. The two charts are SO different.

that album's great though

Pretty good! It can get wearing after a while, but it sounds amazing in short bursts. It's great when a track comes up on shuffle, they sound exhilarating then.
"Rill Rill" is my least favourite track by far, I prefer it when they really blow out, like on "Straight A's".

Oh, and "Rachel" sounds like Lush remixed by 2 Unlimited.

Listened to Treats for the first time yesterday - it made me feel old.

seandalai, Thursday, 27 May 2010 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link

shit makes me feel old, and i'm only 22.

jonathan - stl, Friday, 28 May 2010 06:15 (thirteen years ago) link

It makes me feel young and alive if anything tbh

DavidM, Friday, 28 May 2010 09:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Which Funkadelic song they 'sample' in 'Rill Rill'?

Shin Oliva Suzuki, Friday, 28 May 2010 12:38 (thirteen years ago) link

Well, 'Rill Rill' is almost like Soup Dragons doing I'm Free

This is growing on me. A lot.

This feels like the aural equivalent of being kicked repeatedly in the face by a cute smiley videogame character, annoying but oddly fun all the same.

Diplo + AC/DC + Ting Tings

Haha. Yeah. Not jamming it 24/7 as much but I still dig it. In part, I think it's 'cause we've had a rainy week or two up here, but the sun is back and so are the riffs.

Still, this might be the first album that people are officially 'over' by the time it gets a physical release.

i really dislike the word "treats"

For Nick Lachey, Forever Ago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 June 2010 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link

a word much beloved of dogs

the other is a black gay gentleman from Los Angeles (contenderizer), Monday, 7 June 2010 23:06 (thirteen years ago) link

it's okay for dogs and dairy queen i guess

real talk: treats is one of my favourite words in the english language.

call all destroyer, Thursday, 10 June 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
