I think I might like this bon iver album if I actually listened to it. Maybe I will do so now?

i love this record and i'm not ashamed to say it
my biggest problem with bon iver is that its not boring enough.
like as soon as he finds a nice mellow vibe he fucks it all up by doing something complicated and technical.

i like bon iver. it's like the pretty impressionist landscape of music.

i've been surprised how low this has come on other polls, so good to see it place high here
― nathey, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)
what is this
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)
Still need to hear that Peaking Lights, I think it sounds right up my alley.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)
I was actually surprised at how well Peaking Lights did in other polls. Don't really see what the fuss is about
― Number None, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:06 (fourteen years ago)
yay! my #5! Was hoping for top 10, but still glad to see it place
― Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:07 (fourteen years ago)
Wish I could have liked that album, lord knows I tried, but the tunes themselves were really annoying. Sorry guys :(
― Phibes Kartel (NickB), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:07 (fourteen years ago)
Love that Peaking Lights record.
also, fyi, bon iver is very annoying.
― I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:09 (fourteen years ago)
what is a peaking lights?
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:10 (fourteen years ago)
it sounds kind of like stereolab made it someone's basement? idk.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:11 (fourteen years ago)
they put the dub into double act

they were written up on altered zones--does that help?
trippy dub headmusic, it's awesome!

i'm listening to "amazing & wonderful" by peaking lights and while i like the surf guitary thing that underpins it, i think i might have more time for it if it hadn't been recorded from inside a drainpipe
i see a damu remix of it on their soundcloud though! damu is excellent and i'm sad that his album didn't place. not that it made my ballot. "ridin" deserved to be on the trax poll though

count me in the IDGI or "what's the fuss" crowd when it comes to Peaking Lights. Prob need to give them another go, but it reminded me of generic chillwave stuff IIRC?
― Sounds Of The Baskervilles (dog latin), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:12 (fourteen years ago)
so help me god i'm never going to listen to another band described as lo-fi again
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:12 (fourteen years ago)
ha it is very drainpipe-y!
― Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:13 (fourteen years ago)
Lex - that Damu album is excellent apart from the bits where the guy starts rapping really lamely. Other than that it's a decent contender to Glass Swords.
― Sounds Of The Baskervilles (dog latin), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:13 (fourteen years ago)
tbf, they're far better than 90% of what was ever written about on Altered Zones.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:13 (fourteen years ago)
damning with faint praise
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:14 (fourteen years ago)
i really think there's a young marble giants influenceeven if the two genres are radically different
― nathey, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:14 (fourteen years ago)
yikes
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:14 (fourteen years ago)
(I voted for this, though...so I'm not damning anything!)
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:15 (fourteen years ago)
this woman is a horrible singer btw
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:15 (fourteen years ago)
this damu remix is great actually http://soundcloud.com/peakinglights/amazing-wonderful-damu-remix
damu's own best moment that i perhaps should have repped for harder http://soundcloud.com/freekschroder/damu-ridin
― first period don't give a fuck, second period gon get cut (lex pretend), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:15 (fourteen years ago)
obviously the reverb and haze is what lends the album its awesome psychedelic pop-art mystique.
― Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:15 (fourteen years ago)
generic chillwave stuff
smooth rong imo
more than anything I get a 'early 90s dubby Too Pure Records band' vibe from it - Laika, Moonshake and what have you
