What's up with albums from dudes formerly in hardcore/screamo bands taking a ride on the Pfork disco stick lately? Dude quits Poison the Well, forms Sleigh Bells with kindergarten teacher = Best New Music. Dude quits American Nightmare/Give Up the Ghost, forms Cold Cave with noize dude and chick from Xiu Xiu = also highly regarded. Are there other examples of this recently?

wow, weird observation, but OTM nonetheless. i have another one to add: guitarist recently quits daughters, joins up with a little band called fang island. BNM on pfork as well.

I thought you must have meant on the iTunes "indie' subcategory, but no, you are right. I think this kind of reflects the disparity between people who buy albums via iTunes versus people who buy singles via iTunes. The two charts are SO different.

what a horribly formed "groke" (samosa gibreel), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 01:10 (sixteen years ago)

that album's great though

Pretty good! It can get wearing after a while, but it sounds amazing in short bursts. It's great when a track comes up on shuffle, they sound exhilarating then.
"Rill Rill" is my least favourite track by far, I prefer it when they really blow out, like on "Straight A's".

Oh, and "Rachel" sounds like Lush remixed by 2 Unlimited.

Listened to Treats for the first time yesterday - it made me feel old.

seandalai, Thursday, 27 May 2010 13:25 (sixteen years ago)

shit makes me feel old, and i'm only 22.

jonathan - stl, Friday, 28 May 2010 06:15 (sixteen years ago)

It makes me feel young and alive if anything tbh

DavidM, Friday, 28 May 2010 09:19 (sixteen years ago)

Which Funkadelic song they 'sample' in 'Rill Rill'?

Well, 'Rill Rill' is almost like Soup Dragons doing I'm Free

This feels like the aural equivalent of being kicked repeatedly in the face by a cute smiley videogame character, annoying but oddly fun all the same.

Matt DC, Thursday, 3 June 2010 08:32 (sixteen years ago)

Diplo + AC/DC + Ting Tings

Haha. Yeah. Not jamming it 24/7 as much but I still dig it. In part, I think it's 'cause we've had a rainy week or two up here, but the sun is back and so are the riffs.

Still, this might be the first album that people are officially 'over' by the time it gets a physical release.

i really dislike the word "treats"

For Nick Lachey, Forever Ago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 June 2010 23:04 (sixteen years ago)

a word much beloved of dogs

the other is a black gay gentleman from Los Angeles (contenderizer), Monday, 7 June 2010 23:06 (sixteen years ago)

it's okay for dogs and dairy queen i guess

For Nick Lachey, Forever Ago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 7 June 2010 23:06 (sixteen years ago)

real talk: treats is one of my favourite words in the english language.

i haven't even listened to this that much, but it's still one of the best things i've heard this year from indie land

ksh, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)

They aren't from Canada...

Evan, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:38 (sixteen years ago)

They aren't from Norway...

ksh, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:40 (sixteen years ago)

You're right Indie-land is Williamsburg.

Evan, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:49 (sixteen years ago)

ok it's just been two days but damned if this isn't the best thing ever

call all destroyer, Thursday, 10 June 2010 23:31 (sixteen years ago)

it's like they asked me what my ultimate summer jamz album would sound like and then answered the question better than i ever could

call all destroyer, Thursday, 10 June 2010 23:32 (sixteen years ago)

Its a lot of fun, gotta say.

Evan, Friday, 11 June 2010 01:40 (sixteen years ago)
