never heard of this band before, but damn that was really good.

The whole record has a simple, totally positive energy that I can't find in much else right now.

I like this record a lot.

I really want them to play near me so I'm looking out. Do they even have a bass guitar in the mix? The playing is super-intricate. I haven't heard any of their other projects but apparently they have quite a few between them.

I haven't listened to this band yet but Rachel Aggs is also in Shopping and Trash Kit and they are both great.

This album is great and is the Summerjam Hot Rock i've been waiting for.
― devvvine, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 14:19 (seven years ago) link
Rachel Aggs is the best!

(Also when I complain about ilx liking the wrong indie -> Aggs bands are the right indie)

This album is very good!

right, so EOY 2017 winner, we all agreed?

Contender for top 10 albums of 2017 for me so far.

I like how genuinely fun it sounds, no pretentions just mindless sunny music.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Thursday, 13 April 2017 17:03 (seven years ago) link
I adore this album. The drummer, Eilidh Rodgers, brings so much to the table and her interplay with Aggs really makes this thing pop. Just wanted to send some love the incredible drumming all over this record.
― brontosaur, Thursday, 13 April 2017 19:33 (seven years ago) link
this is such a delight. they have a great dynamic together and i really love the drumming & the early r.e.m./sleater-kinney-esque overlapping vocals. the title track is one of the most joyous sounding things i've heard this year

This is fun

Just discovered this album/band via the summer jam 2017 thread.I'm not too familiar with the album yet and it may seem a bit repetitive/limited in its variety but so far I like it a lot.My favourite track atm is "everyday".They make me think of a mix between the Go-Go's and early Vampire Weekend.
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 1 June 2017 08:34 (six years ago) link
This won the SAY Award tonight, as I had a feeling it would. Maybe not the album on the list that means the most to me but I'm still playing this frequently, just great upbeat pop for anyone who DOESN'T HATE FUN. Well deserved winner really, I was just rooting for Meursault for personal reasons.
― Jonathan Hellion Mumble, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 21:40 (six years ago) link
Well, the Meursault is a much, much better album! I like Sacred Paws singles and their whole thing really but the album's a bit of a grind because it's kinda samey.

discovered this band a few weeks ago by listening to forks's spotify playlist of the 2017 Top 77. thanks y'all, this shit is RIGHT up my alley, loopy and propulsive and maximally head-sticky. stoked that there's more new stuff coming.

this band is so good
album Run Around The Sun is out May 31
― ufo, Wednesday, 20 March 2019 22:51 (five years ago) link
the album is really good and probably a step up from the debut
― ufo, Thursday, 30 May 2019 14:36 (four years ago) link
Thanks for reminding me, I still need to listen to this one.
― emil.y, Thursday, 30 May 2019 17:35 (four years ago) link
This new record is fantastic.

Have only listened to handfuls of Aggs solo stuff that's on Bandcamp
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 29 November 2022 04:53 (one year ago) link
Does her other group Shopping still exist?
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 29 November 2022 04:57 (one year ago) link
Haven't heard anything about them breaking up, but also not heard anything about new stuff in the pipeline. All of the members have lots of projects so I guess we have to wait and see when this particular formation comes back together. Shopping are my faves of the bunch, so I hope they do have something coming soon.
