So many ways to go wrong with this sound, but this is 100% correct.

Kinda reminds me of the last Rhye album

Picked this up today. Such a gorgeous record that totally justifies its length. Looking forward to getting to know it more.

extremely surprised by how much I like this (Jordan otm about "ways to go wrong")

when I put this on my boyfriend said it sounded like it was made in a lab to be exactly to my tastes, and he was right. I do wish the songwriting had a little more oomph to justify its long length but I think that would also be missing the point - it's meant to be textural and dreamy more than anything.
How legit is the story of their career as I've read it? They barely do press, they self-release everything and they've just toured hard to build a following and become successful by being so good at what they do. I'm sure I saw that they don't even have a manager.

it's all very pleasant sounding but nothing really stands out to me about it despite being very fond of this sort of sound.

also can a mod move this thread to ILM? do we have that technology?
― the typo doer (Simon H.), Friday, 2 October 2020 17:11 (one year ago) link
Sounds like more of the same. Can't say I mind.

after i made this thread a mod explained to me that moving threads across boards is the thing that breaks the entire borad

I was the unwitting catalyst for such a seismic event once. I don't recommend it.

So smooth

Stoked for new stuff, Oncle Jazz is amazing

"Tailwhip" initially obscured how mellow and strong the rest of the album is. Fun to play and have appreciation grow for other tracks.

“the untourable album” sounds sick, not gonna lie

ooh, sounding lovely so far, thanks! funny to release this right before going on tour (hoping that can be one of my first shows back)
― the adventures of pavlo and schrödis (geoffreyess), Wednesday, 25 August 2021 02:14 (eleven months ago) link
the new album is incredibly awesome
i should make a thread for them that's actually on ilm
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 18:38 (eleven months ago) link
thinking "Tree Among Shrubs" might be the one (they're all the one while they're playing, but still)
― the adventures of pavlo and schrödis (geoffreyess), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:00 (eleven months ago) link
album is indeed really really good.
seems kinda tourable, too!

stoked to hear the new one, oncle jazz really blew me away
― brimstead, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:56 (eleven months ago) link
Really hitting the spot right now.

Ooh looking forward to listening

glad to hear they are still doing that woozy detuned thing

“5am Waltz” is probably my favorite one from this year’s album. It’s short, beautiful on the right headphones and kind of sounds inspired by Boards of Canada.

Oh wtf this is not ILM, where am I?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 7 October 2021 03:13 (ten months ago) link
I love this new album, more than the debut, and I've found it a real comfortable, relaxing listen - if this had came out a year earlier it would have probably been my lockdown go-to.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 7 October 2021 07:24 (ten months ago) link
found out about this band on here, the new album is a superfun synthpop delight, love it. 'carmen' is a tune of 2021 for me.
― Swanswans, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 13:59 (seven months ago) link
oh..and 'beezle', 80's electropop ripped in 2021 never sounded so good.
― Swanswans, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 14:06 (seven months ago) link
Their Tiny Desk Concert kind of blew my mind. Something about the way they sound made it very hard to visualize them as a band playing in a room. I imagined that there were a lot more electronic or programmed elements, but no, they are just very skilled yet supremely mellow musicians.

cool, just listened to the intro track, supremely laid back, Air meets The Internet vibes. So polished, everyone finding the space in the groove, like you said, great musicians, completely on the same wavelength.

men I trust - all around and away we go (Eskimo twins remix)https://open.spotify.com/track/5xOuhT6BkFPB3t0wl1juKo?si=eEh7fNDEQs-x55Q9OG_FdQ&utm_source=copy-linkthis is a fun remix that ups their sweet ass electro sound in a more electrotechno direction
― Swanswans, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 14:49 (seven months ago) link
love both men i trust and mr twin sister but it seems like you’re talking about the latter, double swans
― grove street (party) direction (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 29 December 2021 15:32 (seven months ago) link
Goddammit, yes!! sorry about the confusion, fuckbiscuits!, both bands are great, true dat, lol...
― Swanswans, Wednesday, 29 December 2021 15:44 (seven months ago) link
I'm digging back through their discography... Headroom is also pretty great! A different vibe given the variety of singers, and it's more upbeat, but tracks like "Morse Code" and "Again" are as strong as anything else they've done
