John Talabot

haha I even scrolled up to check and somehow flew skipped right over them... Sorry for cluttering the thread.

despite the vocals, "journeys" is the track i find myself revisiting the most

I love the stutters that Talabot puts into the rhythms of tracks like that, there's a real carefree swing to them.

"matilda's dream" is incredible. made me cry.

It's a warm night in Brooklyn, and I have the windows wide open even though it's perhaps a little chilly for that kind of abandon. I've spent maybe five nights this entire month in NY, having been traveling a ton for work and spending five nights in Jamaica last week. I went a little crazy at Other Music today, and this record is now spinning on my turntable. Granted I'm a little drunk on a beautiful red Burgundy, but this is just AMAZINGLY lovely and delicious. It feels perfect for this exact moment, a sort of drunken wistfulness, the coolness of the air a little biting but the reality of open windows so sweet...

i have avoided hearing anything by that band because of their name for at least a year now. talabot why are you making me break this policy

The band name alone is awful.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs are pretty good though. There's an excellent Joe Goddard mix of one of their tunes out there as well.

yeah "tapes & money" is fantastic

not so hot on the talabot remix tho

that F3 "lonely land" remix is so incredible - the closing melody is just gorgeous. totally always play it b2b with his own "last land"

Agreed, such beautiful rhythmic programming as well (which is also true of "Last Land" actually).

heard a track off fin playing in a banana republic today

i have jeans from them

Cycled into work today, sunglasses on, "Missing You" on my iPod... A moment of bliss before the day's onslaught

Upcoming remixes from Pachanga Boys and Kenton Slash Demon (ie two members of When Saints Go Machine) that I am very excited to hear.

Hammering "Leave me (Friendly Pattern version)" at the moment. I'd like to know if there is a non Friendly Pattern version, because I can't find one and I want more

wow, i think this is incredible

HOLY SHIIIT

BRILLIANT.

-_-

So good.

ive listened to this album more than anything else this year tbh

I haven't listened to it in a little while but I listened to it way more than five times before I took a break from it

this

ditto. i feel another talabot phase coming on, actually

seeing him DJ in a few weeks, very excited

feel like this album is very prime Autumn vibes

He's a good live DJ.

oncoming autumn vibes but while the light and heat of summer are still in the air, is what i'm thinking

also the remix is excellent obv, and i say this as someone who found the chairlift original super boring

i was going to see john talabot until the xx album came out and was boring (they are touring together)

anyone know if there's an unofficial comp of his remixes/pre-fin stuff anywhere

shit club music

funny, the criticism i would've made is that it's a hair's breadth from not being club music at all, it's coffee-table house

i think that's why i like it

At this point criticising stuff as coffee-table house seems a bit pointless, all of us have coffee-table house skeletons in our closet.
