Dan Lissvik of Studio produced The Embassy's new single "State '08" and it's ace. Blissful indie-pop with a balearic touch. It's topping my summer jams right now.

You can get Studio t-shirts from Phonica at the minute. They're 30 fucking quid though.

I just absolutely love the fact Pitchfork never reviewed West Coast. They've been on a hot roll lately, reviewing "it" bands (mostly honestly very good ones, like Fleet Foxes). Similar to Cutty's thread, the inner hipster in me is frustrated by people who only use Pitchfork to listen to new music. However, it seems Pitchfork has been quick to spot (or influence) the newest trends, and finging West Coast on my own is a rare victory.
I'm lame.

I think a review of the rereleased West Coast after having already reviewed Yearbook 1 would probably have been a bit redundant though.

i don't really see the difference between finding out about a record on pitchfork and finding out about a record on ILM.

Yeah, fwiw we were going to review WC but we knew Y1 was on the way so we waited and only reviewed that.

i went to their studio in göteborg today. i don't know what the published interview is going to look like, but before i forget everything they said when i wasn't recording...
-that Fact magazine info about scrapping tracks for a live studio album in 2009 was either never true or no longer true. they're working on one new remix, overseeing fontän's debut album (who play live instruments; i got the feeling that studio were going to tour vicariously through them).. they don't have any definite album release plans, although they have three albums worth of material 'in the can.' they're unsure when or if they'll release any of it. (west side was culled from material that dates back to 2003)´ -vahid: they had to edit self-servce to fit it on cd. -'balearic music' is any music played while wearing a sailor hat.
for the record, these are some of the coolest, nicest, humblest dudes i've ever met. i even got some t-shirts haha

poortheatre, where do you write for??
― lucas pine, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 08:12 (4 years ago) Permalink
nowhere, really. a friend of mine is starting a small culture magazine (Futureclaw) and asked me if i wanted to write something for it, and it turned out to be an interview with studio. i was going to sweden anyway to visit some friends, so i did the interview in person. and i just e-mailed air france because i was in town.. g-burg is really cool. great time of the year to visit.
― poortheatre, Tuesday, 8 July 2008 11:32 (4 years ago) Permalink
I hope it went something like this: Studio: Ja, ve have tre albums already, how you say, in the can. poorteater: ysi?

finally getting around to listening these dudes, playing yearbook 2 right now and it's.....kind of boring?

Start with their original stuff at least!

yearbook 2 = major disappointment, good tracks but i already heard it all! :(
― san frandisco, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 04:46 (4 years ago) Permalink
none of the Y2 tracks reach the heights of 'out there' or 'west coast' but this is still one of the best releases of the year.

Many thanks to Tim F. & Co. for your references to Disco Inferno - a discovery nearly as great as West Coast itself.
Fwiw (and impressively, to me, anyway), iTunes (US) sells the otherwise out-of-print "In Debt" in the "iTunes Plus" mode.

I'm glad I didn't shell out $30 for this. its okay I guess but my favorite song was the shortest one, the rest just kinda went on and on aimlessly.

The idea that Way Out could be 'aimless' had me briefly reassessing my definition of 'aim', and then I realised it was bollocks.

So, has anyone heard the Fontän single? Got it from iTunes. It's a gorgeous song, hazy Pink Floyd like vocals, solid driving drums and terrific double-barreled guitars (what a rush when they come in for the first time so early in the song). Remixes by A Mountain of One (with a bassline reminiscent of Air, Twilight Zone synths and "Love Like Blood" lite guitars) and Studio who reconstruct the song in their typical fashion.
