kinda ballsy how straightforward it is (no guitar or keys, relatively simple beat loop). i'm curious to find out if this is an outlier or if the whole record is as stripped-down and focused on the vocals.

I still have the same general problem with this band, which is that I don't like the voices as much as I think I should (although this is the best I've ever heard the women sound, at least until they open up to that super spread "aa" vowel and tip back into annoying)

(also switching from an old Autechre album to this probably didn't do it any favors)

that's...kind of a bummer

that is funny Number None as i made a similar mistake in the ILB thread about the 2012 Angels yesterday as well.

love this band, can't wait to hear this new stuff.

it's very bond theme. i like it but i feel like his singing maybe clicks better with the songs when it's sorta tight & frantic like the last rec.

I been thinking for three years that I hate this band. Tonight it shows, I really don't. They remind me a bit of Grizzly Bear, if the latter were any good. Plus, I like the girls.

title track on the new one is very dylanish
― buh, Wednesday, 4 July 2012 23:30 (10 months ago) Permalink
For sure--that track and "Impregnable Question" have a real New Morning feel to them.

Liking this a lot, moreso than their others.

New Morning, eh? Have not really been too into what I've heard of this band, but that certainly intrigues me!
― tylerw, Thursday, 5 July 2012 21:40 (10 months ago) Permalink
I've been hearing across the board that the new one is way way way better than anything else they've done. This is a band that I should love on paper but who in practice drive me way up the fucking wall so I'm cautiously intrigued.

yeah mainly when i've listened to 'em i've thought "i get why people like this band but I DO NOT LIKE THIS BAND!" but i'll check the new one!
― tylerw, Thursday, 5 July 2012 21:52 (10 months ago) Permalink
if you didn't like their old stuff you probably won't like this one either.

i think there are two dirty projectors threads going? i said on the other one that the new one is more stripped down instrumentally and song structure-wise but it's still the same dude singing and writing songs so it's not like way different.

the other thread is a lot more stripped down structure-wise but it's still the same dudes writing posts

BULLSHIT

it's true, i should go back and listen to the other albums, but they never appealed to me before. i also like the new grizzly bear single and never liked anything by them previously.
totally hear dylan/ mccartney moves, too

Is the new album streaming anywhere?
