Deerhunter!

Z S, can you just email me directly? I keep trying to respond to yr ILX mail and every time I enter the word code the shit doesn't work

Elisionbebop

It's a gmail address

I'm returning from a camping trip right now but I'll be home later tonight! Btw I think I included my email address in the ilx mail message? Maybe not, I can't remember.

hinklepink otm, though i'm still in the "wow, this is great!" phase. i've liked stray tracks in the past, but this is the first deerhunter album to really grab me. did like that one cover with the deers having cock sex.

"Blue Agent" sort of feels like it hits that "Flourescent Grey"-era mysteriousness. That one acoustic song is super Kurt Vile, which is cool, cos it's good, and Kurt Vile is a rad dude.

"nitebike" - kv's def in there, but the first thing it suggested to me was acoustic johnny thunders.

last three tracks are stunning! "monomania" is maybe the best heads-down rock song i've heard so far this year, all the more so for the emotional heft. i got everything maxed and it still isn't loud enough. "monomonomania monomonomania" part could go for another half hour and still i'd be happy.

a lot of complaining abt the turn to garage rock, but i get the feeling that the whole album is a presented as a tribute to misspent youth, triumphant nostalgia for past misery. that's mostly a product of "punk (la vie anterieure)", but i'm trying it on as a frame.

"pensacola" is only track i'm not feeling, too familiar, not enough energy to pull it off.

Contrnderizer mostly OTM

With "Pensecola" a weird thing happens - for the first 30 seconds I'm like ugh, then it wins me over

maybe i'll get there, i've only listened twice

^^^^ this.

couldn't tell he was saying "monomania" at the end of "monomania" what does that mean

if we're going to do rock again these guys might be sensitive

said with love

and hate of course

*too

idk seems like the same mistake Animal Collective made

i like this album a lot. people are overstating the "rock album" thing, it's just a slightly grittier deerhunter album

One of those bands I've heard a bunch, seen live a couple of times and still can't recall a single note of. I think I fell asleep the last time they played, which didn't help.

been meaning to revisit older stuff after this tbh

would be glad to eventually argue them over sonic youth one day

cryptograms

^ a type of ograms

I like the title track but it does run on a bit.

remember a single of theirs off p4k infinite playlist or whatever early

title track kewl

"Finding the fluorescence in the junk
By night illuminates the day
Finding ancient language in the blood
Fading a little more each day"

l0l do you guys have tumblers?

just not sure if "we" need this

holy shit i hate myself

don't hate yourself just stop posting for a bit eh?

Or consolidate a little

would feel better

if I was talking to you about rock that mattered

I mean Hi

nice to meet you

but fuck the bullshit

^ it's the new style

contenderizer has been on a tumblr i can smell it

it must be terrible to need attention so bad.

when everyone laughs with tom eventually

pout

"PUNCH" you

lol

nobody cares abhout tom

disgustingly sacred

sorry this was way too early for this

hah huh?

A. Sandwich what do you think of "Pensacola" does it make you want to rock out like you were listening to "96 Tears"?

this album rules!!!!!

kinda has a subway sect vibe

i liked em ok before but this is so much more needed
there are so many kind reverb rock post shoegaze dudes out there that are good at it but there's not that many real fucked up rackety twee punk bands

Yeah, this one is great. Wasn't much of a fan of their dopey-sounding shoegazery stuff either, but I've been listening to this a lot.

To me the sound is like if Ariel Pink made a tribute to Dylan and the Stones in the style of the Pixies.

sometimes the guitars even evoke the Voidoids, and that's heady territory for me
