listening to the compilation the rainyards put up on bandcamp. fantastic. in spite of having a friend that was obsessed with summershine once upon a time I was completely unaware of their goodness.

it is. it reminds of rick menck/paul chastain but better than that. papa topo's mini-lp is lovely as well, it is like the school record I was hoping for, in spanish of course.

ha. i really disliked oso panda but the follow up single was good, so i'm interested

when they buried oso panda in their next video it was cute. apparently they are like 19. they sound almost cosmopolitan now compared to oso panda. the milkyway influence.

Love the newer Novella stuff. Pretty good live too. Although 'Don't Believe Ayn Rand' has a chorus that I can't help but mishear as 'cheese, sausage roll' (it's 'she's lost control).

that toy track is pretty good but gosh they are an awkward looking bunch. straight out of my junior high school talent show. be better without the intro.

heard a new Allo Darlin' track on the radio yesterday. Sounded pretty good. Anyone heard the album?

Pitchfork gushed over it. Usually their acceptable definition of indiepop is something turgid like summer hymns so that review is a surprise.

i disliked the opening single (though liked the b-side) and slumberland/fortuna pop have yet again conspired to ensure i can't get it off emusic so i don't think i'll be hearing it in a hurry

Ha, good choice. Though I doubt the ilxor's cover of that could ever be bettered.
I'd have made them cover 'I'm a Terrible Vacuous Imbecile Who Uses My Body to Sell My Mediocre Records'. I'd have to write it first, obviously.

Congratulations. I actually went and looked up Summer Cats on Slumberland's page to see if that was what you were doing, but they are listed as past artists and I can't think of any other tweeish Melbourne bands.
― svend, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
it does involve at least one summer cat

Is there any news from SULK? Still really enjoying their two singles and would love to hear more. Their website doesn't seem to hint at much more than touring at this point.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 14:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
they finished recording their album a few weeks ago, not sure if it's going to be self-released like the singles or if they're approaching labels..
― suburban buttshaven cannibal (electricsound), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 22:59 (1 year ago) Permalink
turns out the cats on fire album is vastly better than their earlier stuff. pretty nice.
― the aower of aussy (electricsound), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:19 (1 year ago) Permalink
i agree. although, i think all of their albums are pretty nice. the lovesliescrushing reissue or first issue of their early recordings or whatever is really gorgeous.

I tend of swing between cringing and loving Allo Darlin' lyrics. They're more of a guilty pleasure than most stuff I regularly listen to. The first album had its bland out moments but could still frequently make me feel giddy. Haven't given the newie much time.
Anyone here diggin' Joanna Gruesome? Their EP, and new track on a split on Art Is Hard Records are pretty great.
