the ending is quite something.. last two songs make it sound like the album is being chewed up in a blender and then sucked into a black hole

does anyone else think 'She Found Now' sounds very similar to Astrobrite's 2007 song 'Xero Hero (Lonely Boy)' (@45:12 in the video)? or is this just a case of all shoegaze sounding the same?

I played the CD in the car about 3 weeks ago. Sounds good, was in the mood, I guess.

kevins cultural observations are probably one of the most interesting of that time
i remember watching this interview and thinking this is probably one of few people on tv to talk about third culture kids and felt good about it

new vinyl pressings and tshirts on their webstore. might be reading a bit too into it, but did they leak the name of a new release with this shirt? has "fuzz" meant anything in particular with this band before now?

that could be a schematic for a fuzz FX pedal circuit or something

It's a diagram of a fuzz pedal, innit?

yeah i mean i'm probably reading too much into it but it seems strange to have new tshirts for each of their albums (mbv one arguable i guess) and then have one representing a particular aspect of their sound

i like it quite a bit. sonic nods to "to here knows when", particularly a part about 2/3 in that even briefly takes on the same melody

actually, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that whatever combo of pedals and instruments making the loudest noises in this is pretty much the same combo that produced the noises in "to here knows when". i assume he just steps on the "plane wing space distortion closeup psych trip meltdown jetstream" button and bends the results back and forth a bit

I was certainly hoping for something a little more adventurous since the track is a collaboration with Eno. It's pretty standard stuff. And it could comfortably fit in an intro to a Sigur Ros song circa the parenthesis/brackets (()) album (I mention them as a band who exploited this sound the most in recent times).
I have found that Eno pushed himself a little more, or at least produced more captivating or interesting sounds, when working with Harmonia. I listen to a few of their tracks every so often and the nature and treatment of the tones is so captivating that it's hypnotic. I think even after all these years, some of their tracks sound refreshing, whereas this new track sounds like some stock samples, though I'm not saying they are.

I liked that but it needed to be 35min long and through the stereo and with me not at work listening to other people's phone calls.
Weirdly, it's been on Adult Swim Singles' Soundcloud page for two days and has only had 21 plays.
