another acoustic guitar-based record, another Fahey reference...
Frontman Josh T. Pearson disappeared for several years, then emerged in Germany playing intimate, barely scripted shows that blended American Primitive guitar playing (think John Fahey) with quasi-Biblical lyrics (think Wovenhand).

i think that's for people who like john fahey but don't know what 'american primitive' means. there are actually people out there who read pitchfork and don't really care about learning genre names and stuff.
― blank, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 18:27 (thirteen years ago) link
is there a pitchfork for jaded know-it-alls that contains zero references to other artists?
― blank, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Have never seen a Josh solo show that was at all like John Fahey. In fact seeing four of his early solo shows within a week or two was responsible for giving me minor tinnitus.

Anybody else been getting lots of 503 errors lately when clicking various links around Pitchfork? Thought maybe it was just my computer at home being weird, but happening again today when I check at work.

Hanna is a film about a "badass survivalist girl"; the Chemical Brothers have never seemed particularly badass, but it's fair to count them as survivalist, both because last year's Further was their best record in ages and they're the only act from the late-90s electronica boom making music anyone would want to listen to.
I hate this kind of talk!! I mean first of all Underworld came out with a pretty damn good album in 2010 and secondly this very site panned their last album pretty heavily so you're just throwing a bunch of acts under the bus for no reason.
Hanna doesn't represent anything more than a slight change-up from a group used to throwing fastballs.

I haven't seen Hanna; it appears to be a thriller set in Eastern Europe with a young female protagonist-- gifted in the art of action-- who eludes a ruthless intelligence operative. Digitized techno mysticism has been a go-to soundtrack of choice for this genre ever since The Bourne Identity rubber-stamped Moby's "Extreme Ways" as the perfect mix of heady paranoia, Euro style, and kicking things.
Oh yeah, THAT'S when all the euro-thrillers got soundtracks. 2002!

not that this Val Kilmer vehicle invented the idea of techno music scoring euro-thrillers either, just sayin

You know I kind of forgot how great the 95-01 era was for techno soundtracks. The Beach had a really great one too.

Although I question if I could stomach one of them today
I guess it doesn't really count but... "Scarface"?

anyone else read thishttp://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15324-hit-after-hit/
and see absolutely no correlation between the score and the actual review? it's so OVERWHELMINGLY positive
― kelpolaris, Sunday, 17 April 2011 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link
not really -- i don't think a high 7 in any way contradicts a review that is completely enthusiastic and positive unless it specifically says it's like the album of the year or perfect or whatever.

― steendriving is very bad - but I got a fake ID though! (some dude), Sunday, 17 April 2011 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i think that happens from time to time where a review in the 7.7-7.9 range reads like something that could've been best new music
