New from the DFA...

i think yacht are crap and haven't heard the PDS track but the rest is v worthy. surprised by how much i love the justine track

new holy ghost! track up on their fb. cool but a little bit disappointing maybe

I've kind of thought that about everything since Hold On initially. They're growers though.

tru

I've kind of thought that about everything since Hold On initially.

crazy talk re I Will Come Back

think I read somewhere that the new HG! track was prod by Goldsworthy? winder if the whole album has been in the tank that long

it's been done done for well over six months now, probably much longer for all i know

just saw that album out 5th april ..

TG's been gone from NY since 2009 IIRC? I s'pose he could have worked on it long-distance or on visits, but HG! are such intense gear-nerds that you'd think they'd be working more hands-on with a producer. idk, idle speculation anyway

i will come back is still maybe my favourite song of the last five years

^^up there for me too

lol i really thought at the time that i was the only one on here that really fell hard for it!

'static on the wire' was cool imo

they are solid 7.5/10s always or something

Happy House my fave, but I Will Come Back is top 5

i just dont get the big deal over happy house

well its not by holy ghost so

there's a part of me

"I Will Come Back" is all-time.

i like happy house but it is not my favourite juan

well its not by holy ghost so

except for them playing, like, all the instruments on it

and writing it

and being the backing band when they toured it

love i will come back, the classixx remix too

except for them playing, like, all the instruments on it

in that case why is juan maclean's name on it at all

he also wrote it and programmed it and did backing vocals on it

pretty sure the guy from dubtribe sound system wrote happy house.

I was about to say. Personally I'll give songwriting credit for happy house to whoever did the stereo panning.

the peter gordon album is incredible.

^^ YES why did ppl not go nuts for this?!?!?

i mean! come on

kinda feel like you let me down on this one ilx

I'm nuts for it!

THAT HAT STAYS ON!!!

you know

we were talking about it upthread, i went a bit nuts too iirc. there was also talk of the justine and the victorian punks single, which was less familiar to me than the love of life orchestra stuff... also exciting

yeah i saw a few mentions of it, but not that many! there shld be more

boy trouble

^ i think i prefer "full grown man" and "what i've lost" on the b-side, but those songs are two years old and the new single is good stuff still. didn't know that visionquest included lee curtiss & seth troxler

yah but neither of those songs have lines abt painting the town red w/ blood

What psych said - "boy trouble" is good but not as strong as the b-sides or "midnight people" or "walk and talk".

i like this

^^

applicable to both peter gordon and benoit & sergio

so yeah, that Peter Gordon 12" was one of my favorite releases of the year. not surprised it didn't make a dent in the year end lists/assessments though...

it's a 80s rerelease innit

playing the shit out of benoit and sergio like they are literally all i want to listen to right now

Loving the LOLO album. The bit on the don't don't reprise at about a minute where the bass cuts out and the singers hold those notes over the kickdrum is wonderful. Like Leonin&Perotin were itching for 4x4. Drum programming on That Hat is amazing too, such a great record.

not really feeling this. different for them. a bit chillwavy or something. limited to 500

A bit?

odd voice but juno synths are total audio bliss 2 me.. i like

Why did they stop putting out "Death from Abroad" stuff? I loved some of those releases.

good question!

a) james too busy w/ lcd as he keeps complaining b) money-losing probably

the death from abroad stuff was all released on other labels that they just repackaged for the us right? seems like a potentially problematic business model
