Ha, good choice. Though I doubt the ilxor's cover of that could ever be bettered.
I'd have made them cover 'I'm a Terrible Vacuous Imbecile Who Uses My Body to Sell My Mediocre Records'. I'd have to write it first, obviously.

woo some stuff i produced is coming out on two of my fave tweeish indie labels ^_^
― suburban buttshaven cannibal (electricsound), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
Congratulations. I actually went and looked up Summer Cats on Slumberland's page to see if that was what you were doing, but they are listed as past artists and I can't think of any other tweeish Melbourne bands.
― svend, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 02:21 (twelve years ago) link
it does involve at least one summer cat

Is there any news from SULK? Still really enjoying their two singles and would love to hear more. Their website doesn't seem to hint at much more than touring at this point.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 14:12 (twelve years ago) link
they finished recording their album a few weeks ago, not sure if it's going to be self-released like the singles or if they're approaching labels..
― suburban buttshaven cannibal (electricsound), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 22:59 (twelve years ago) link
turns out the cats on fire album is vastly better than their earlier stuff. pretty nice.
― the aower of aussy (electricsound), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:19 (twelve years ago) link
i agree. although, i think all of their albums are pretty nice. the lovesliescrushing reissue or first issue of their early recordings or whatever is really gorgeous.

Hmmm...it' s pretty great actually.
― keythhtyek, Friday, 11 May 2012 01:11 (twelve years ago) link
i hate the lyrics on this record. they're genuinely awful.
― 12plsrU (electricsound), Friday, 11 May 2012 01:12 (twelve years ago) link
I tend of swing between cringing and loving Allo Darlin' lyrics. They're more of a guilty pleasure than most stuff I regularly listen to. The first album had its bland out moments but could still frequently make me feel giddy. Haven't given the newie much time.
Anyone here diggin' Joanna Gruesome? Their EP, and new track on a split on Art Is Hard Records are pretty great.
― Cragenham Craig (Craigo Boingo), Friday, 11 May 2012 08:40 (twelve years ago) link
tbf it's really only two songs that piss me off lyrically - "europe" and "tallulah".. they come across like the typical expatriate australian who believes they've 'outgrown' their country and the people in it, while the whole album steals completely from the go betweens, the lucksmiths and the hummingbirds.
― 12plsrU (electricsound), Friday, 11 May 2012 10:20 (twelve years ago) link
it's always australians who write these sort of dreadful lyrics, i can never work out why.
― 12plsrU (electricsound), Friday, 11 May 2012 10:22 (twelve years ago) link
I really like 'Tallulah', I think it's more an age thing rather than an expatriate thing. She's late 20s and feels like her life's path has been determined. I don't think it's particularly disparaging of Australia (in so far as I've noticed anyway).
I like the increasing Go-Btwns influence, that's what makes 'Capricornia' one of the best things they've done whilst being less playful than some of their previous singles.
― Cragenham Craig (Craigo Boingo), Friday, 11 May 2012 10:45 (twelve years ago) link
isn't 'tallulah' about finding a small piece of home anywhere? almost a recognition that even though she's far away, australia is always a part of her and the bit 'and i wonder if you'll wanna go over there with me, when i'm finished over here' seems like pining for home. she hardly seems the type to get worked up over.
the school album is ok but i am starting to think that 'let it slip' was a one off moment of pop perfection, they are capable of cute but not much more.

this isn't really new, but i think i had heard a couple of citizens! songs before and they didn't appeal at all (i'm remembering them being very kitsune-y, which generally has a maximum of two minutes' appeal for me), yet this i'm liking a lot.

picked up the new School album, it's definitely better than the non-EP tracks on the debut album but they still haven't bettered those first two releases. though this album makes me think it's still possible, one day..
― mexican sumner (electricsound), Thursday, 17 May 2012 23:47 (twelve years ago) link
Caught them live last night, they had a couple of stand-in members including the always-a-pleasure incongruously metal looking drummer. Were very good.

I don't like the name, though on Friday I saw Haiku Salut who I'd avoided because I thought their name made them sound like some sort of 'Allo Darlin ukulele fest, but it turns out they're actually great. I feel pretty foolish.
― useless chamber, Monday, 23 July 2012 09:23 (eleven years ago) link
Haiku Salut are lovely. I still have a soft spot for their previous band The Deirdres who I know were way over the twee line for a lot of people. Seeing Haiku Salut on Thursday, have only previously seen them through a church window at Indietracks, looking forward to it hugely.
― Cragenham Craig (Craigo Boingo), Monday, 23 July 2012 23:35 (eleven years ago) link
Ugh, the Dierdres were awful. But yeah, HS seem a lot better. Still holding out for being able to watch a full gig inside the venue before I make up my mind properly...
