Bought this on a whim last night, and while I was initially upset at myself for my disgusting lack of restraint in spending money on music, I knew it would all be well after I listened to it, and (halfway through the last track) I can say all is better than well.
This is a damn near perfect album, if not a bona-fide perfect album.

I saw the El Perro Del Mar / Taken By Trees show last week and it was incredible. They shared a band who basically sounded like a looser, country-fied Studio. The band was fantastic and created the same spaced out groove Lissvik and Rasmus put on their latest albums.

country-fied Studio

sorry can't be bothered to read the thread - have these guys split up or something? How come no follow-up to 'West Coast'?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 4 March 2010 09:45 (sixteen years ago)
Busy in 2009: Lissvik in the Crêpes, also producing other artists (Lissvik did Taken by Trees, Hägg did Fontän and El Perro del Mar). But I totally agree that it's time for new Studio material!
― willem, Thursday, 4 March 2010 10:24 (sixteen years ago)
also Yearbook 2 was a followup to West Coast
― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:10 (sixteen years ago)
Not really, it was a compilation of remixes.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 4 March 2010 13:21 (sixteen years ago)
right. and if anything "yearbook 2" was a follow up to "yearbook 1"
― shite new answers (cutty), Thursday, 4 March 2010 21:56 (sixteen years ago)
yeah but it's still stuff they did after West Coast instead of splitting up
― you live in a space battle homo cave (sic), Thursday, 4 March 2010 23:09 (sixteen years ago)
i'm starting to think there may be no more original material from these guys. which i GUESS i can deal with if they keep evolving as amazing producers/remixers, but it's still kind of a bummer. did they ever tour the us?

This is what I say to myself every day... :(

they don't have any definite album release plans, although they have three albums worth of material 'in the can.' ― poortheatre, Monday, July 7, 2008 7:22 PM (1 year ago)

i still think 'Indo' is their best track, and i don't like their remixes.

i'm starting to think there may be no more original material from these guys
why do you think this?

Are you afraid of rhythm?
― Tim F, Sunday, 7 March 2010 02:59 (sixteen years ago)
their shout out louds remix is one of my favorite things they've done
― shite new answers (cutty), Sunday, 7 March 2010 13:09 (sixteen years ago)
i'm bit sure if i like it better, but i listen to yearbook 2 more than yearbook 1.
― mizzell, Sunday, 7 March 2010 14:26 (sixteen years ago)
anyone know what these guys are up to lately?
― me wants revenge (Future_Perfect), Friday, 14 May 2010 17:50 (sixteen years ago)
I hear they're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing their computer out the window because they want to make something real.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!anyone know any of those tracks?
― mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:35 (sixteen years ago)
um has anybody heard any of the tracks that lists on the cover?
― plax (ico), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:35 (sixteen years ago)
lol
idk kinda looks like a graphic design project to me
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:39 (sixteen years ago)
yeah, it does
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:41 (sixteen years ago)
yeah i guess, probably a bit weak compared w/ their previous design too
― plax (ico), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:43 (sixteen years ago)
the guys in studio would know better than to use that font for the tracklisting imo
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Saturday, 5 June 2010 17:44 (sixteen years ago)
looking for info on this led me to parlour's myspace page. excellent stuff.
― mizzell, Saturday, 5 June 2010 18:24 (sixteen years ago)
yeah Parlour are great and being slept on here in ILxor.

naw we discussed them in the old balearic thread
― cutty, Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:18 (sixteen years ago)
listened to the Kylie remix again today, the first guitar chops in that might be my favourite gtr in all of Studio
― Señor Communications Adviser (sic), Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:25 (sixteen years ago)
is this the ''parlour'' band you're talking about? they sound less balearic and more post-rock-y.
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:42 (sixteen years ago)
no, this one: http://www.myspace.com/parlourrecordings
― mizzell, Sunday, 6 June 2010 15:49 (sixteen years ago)
googler is a really stupid album title, btw, even if it is named after the googly eyes on the cover and not the search engine
― mizzell, Sunday, 6 June 2010 16:44 (sixteen years ago)
So does anyone have any concrete information about Yearbook 3?
Or are people here thinking that jpg is some sort of hoax?
― groovypanda, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:15 (sixteen years ago)
Why on earth would anyone* go to the trouble of putting together a fake Studio album and poster?
*Okay maybe except Max but he would never joke about matters of such importance.
― Matt DC, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:23 (sixteen years ago)
i believe it is real
― cutty, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:26 (sixteen years ago)
haha yeah liking this bizarro ilx world where people would bother putting together fakes with actual promo pix for stadium balearo-rockers the Studio.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 7 June 2010 11:26 (sixteen years ago)
the shoddiness of that poster and the ridiculousness of the titles kinda gives away its fakeness
― mdskltr (blueski), Monday, 7 June 2010 11:26 (sixteen years ago)
^ that
― on some kinda serial killer ish (sic), Monday, 7 June 2010 11:42 (sixteen years ago)
This band would never resort to substandard graphic design! It must be a fake.
― Matt DC, Monday, 7 June 2010 11:44 (sixteen years ago)
also the thing abt the yearbooks was that they were both kinda compilations, which is where i thought the yearbook thing came in, but nobody here has heard any of those tracks
― plax (ico), Monday, 7 June 2010 11:51 (sixteen years ago)
yeah i remember reading in an interview that yearbook 3 was going to be a comp of different stuff on the INF label? not just studio
― just sayin, Monday, 7 June 2010 12:13 (sixteen years ago)
yeah that's what's said on their swedish Wikipedia page
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 7 June 2010 12:20 (sixteen years ago)
karl...arlk...rlka...lkar... = the Photobucket account this came from is password protected, so how did you find it? I would guess looking around at whatever else is in this person's album might explain where it came from.
