This has grown on me quite a bit. I still skip the first track, but otherwise I play this straight through.

Hey this new one is great! I even like the 'These Boots' cover. It's all nicely textured

Yeah, Content Nausea at first listen is more immediately appealing than Sunbathing Animal was.
― o. nate, Friday, 21 November 2014 02:31 (nine years ago) link
wow, i'm happy about this new one...i loved the first stuff then sunbathing animal made me doubt the whole thing like "why did i like this band again" but content nausea is awesome

saw them last weekend. blown off the stage by Horse Lords, but most bands are no match. went in not knowing PC very well (my brother is a massive fan), but now I've listened to "Borrowed Time" probably ten times in a row. phenomenal song, cant wait to get my copy of LIGHT UP GOLD in the mail

ok i didn't know horse lords, this band fucking rules wow

Indeed, that Horse Lords record is great. Hope I get to see them live soon, all reports suggest that they are supremely cool in the live context.

this is like an evolution of sweep the leg johnny

I'm confused, how does this band relate to PC?
― sleeve, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:50 (nine years ago) link
played a show w/, do keep up.
i mean track 1 just busted into bongo beat breakdown and i am not only still on board, i am more on board than ever. the fuck you say.
― A Severus of Snapes (contenderizer), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 20:52 (nine years ago) link
that one time
I'm 4 minutes into the first song and it's amazing. I'm going out tomorrow and buying this album.

this reminds me of Nomo a bit too

Horse Lords

the new ep is awesome, but no one gets it
― pplasma, Saturday, 28 November 2015 00:51 (eight years ago) link
is it a joke?
― flappy bird, Saturday, 28 November 2015 02:50 (eight years ago) link
i like the cover art
― dynamicinterface, Saturday, 28 November 2015 03:30 (eight years ago) link
Wow... I like this band even more than I thought.
― Adam J Duncan, Sunday, 29 November 2015 07:16 (eight years ago) link
Noodley instrumentals for the most part - easily their least essential release.
― o. nate, Monday, 30 November 2015 03:59 (eight years ago) link
I enjoyed the live album

i bought it blind because Content Nausea was so good, what a waste of fifteen bucks
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 1 December 2015 18:00 (eight years ago) link
it sounds like an experiment in being really boring, either that or they now have opted Blur's 'A Spell (For Money)' b-side as a career template
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 1 December 2015 23:10 (eight years ago) link
Annoying and boring, absolutely. Garbage noise jams. What a waste of a cool cover & title.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 00:47 (eight years ago) link
Never buy anything blind! Seems perhaps significant that it's their first release on Rough Trade. Kind of like a "Look we can release whatever we want to, the label has no control over us" move maybe.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 03:49 (eight years ago) link
I bought some of my favorite records ever blind - I can't remember ever feeling this gipped! And if that's the idea (I think you're right), they really are fucking daft. Who is the gesture meant for? It's not like Metal Machine Music, it's just irritating and tuneless practice jams that should've never been put to vinyl. They're not even bad in an interesting way, they're just loud and boring. Eager to hear whatever meta-commentary they had in mind though, cuz now im just peeved.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 05:56 (eight years ago) link
How very punk of them.
― Adam J Duncan, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 07:25 (eight years ago) link
Hi, I likes the new e.p.
― Mark G, Friday, 4 December 2015 11:29 (eight years ago) link
What do you like about it? I want to like it. I want to justify my fifteen bucks.
― flappy bird, Friday, 4 December 2015 18:45 (eight years ago) link
It has "Sweet Sister Ray", krautrock, oh what does it have? All sorts.
― Mark G, Friday, 4 December 2015 18:49 (eight years ago) link
Saw them tonight. Haven't been keeping up with their releases - loved Light Up Gold and was kind of unimpressed with the Tally EP (tho a pre-show relisten proved it a lot better & more fun than I'd remembered). At first I was like, "what's the deal with these guys? Isn't there a band or 2 in every town that's just this good?" but as the set wore on I found myself really impressed with how much they do with a pretty limited palette and bag of tricks. They kept me engaged for an hour, which at my age & when bed is calling is pretty impressive in my books. I don't think the drummer played one real fill the whole night (YEAH) and the Dave Grohl-looking bass player was really really good - solid and nimble, just like I like 'em. Will def be back on the bandwagon now.

^^^saw them last night, a great time, new stuff sounded pretty good.
Was just reading about the explanation of "Uncast Shadow": “That’s a totally true story about having a gun pulled out on us, and the guy who used that gun in Mississippi ended up killing a guy,” he reveals. “That was the reason I was able to finish it – this guy Paul MacLeod had this 24-hour psychotic Elvis worship museum in his house in Mississippi called Graceland Too, and the third time we went to visit him he pulled a gun out on us because Austin asked him if he had one; I’d already been writing that song about him, but when he killed that guy and I realised that he would have killed the guy with that same gun, that’s what made me finish the song.”

New songs are great. This is going to be their best record
― nostormo, Monday, 28 March 2016 20:45 (eight years ago) link
where can I hear it?
― niels, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 11:08 (eight years ago) link
it's certainly better than that shit EP
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 21:07 (eight years ago) link
Two songs with official videos up on Youtube. I like the Berlin one.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 02:18 (eight years ago) link
still not as good as Light Up Gold. Austin Brown's are still way better
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 02:51 (eight years ago) link
*Austin Brown's songs
I'm definitely an Andrew Savage partisan, but it's nice they have two songwriters with distinct styles. The "Content Nausea EP" has slowly supplanted "Light up Gold" as my favorite of their releases.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 30 March 2016 16:45 (eight years ago) link
I agree, they're stronger for it. My favorite song besides "Borrowed Time" is "Everyday It Starts," killer song.
