the 1975

wins my man if u like bilal, jose james and 1xtra why are you being coy about hollering at the god

these guys are playing for free here next week, do you think they'll be more swoony dreamy emobient live or more shitty indie plodders?

Dunno what you're talking about m8 xp

srsly think i'm just gonna leave 'settle down' on loop and call it a day, there are no other songs in the world

idk what you're on about but they're great live

sometimes they play "head.cars.bending" and they make it pretty massive

In fact from now on maybe I will just conduct all conversations about these albums via LINE.

which bear sticker would you use

I was thinking more of Moon.

nice - moon was actually the correct choice here. you passed the test

I listened to Chocolate and the EP version of Sex again and I think I'm starting to get hooked. Kind of afraid.

Finally tracked this down (as opposed to listening to the stream) and took it with me to the gym. Most emotional session ever.

"M.O.N.E.Y.", "Settle Down", "Girls" and "Menswear" are all thoroughly ~my shit~

I like how "M.O.N.E.Y." and "Menswear" are like like parts two and three of a trilogy started by "So Far (It's Alright)".

Kinda feel like Paramore's 'It Aint Fun' is a first cousin once removed to like half this album.

tru

"girls" is so good

also the final 2 mins of "settle down"

and the first min of Pressure

Just did a road trip to San Diego with the wife sans kids for a childhood friend's wedding. This and Paramore are pretty much all we listened to there and back and driving up and down the coast. I haven't had an album strike me down like this in a long time.

Sort of enjoying this. Sounds like a cross between Prefab Sprout and John Waite in both sound and vision.

Don't know anything about this mob but, somewhat bizarrely, they were on this yesterday

Haha Matt if you come on board with this as well it will be perfect, a giant cosmic reverse-birthday-present for Lex.

I vomited on his living room floor instead. Which I think on balance would have been the preferred option of the two.

Tabs with unlimited 0's
New clothes
Bloody nose
Powders and walking back home
Has he got enough weed?
No
Broken phone
Retching on the floor alone
I can't believe that we're talking about him

What's up with this dude's accent by the way? I can't work out what's going on with his vowels at all, if someone hadn't told me they were from Manchester I would never have guessed. They've got an inherent Aussieness to them that I can't put my finger on.

perhaps its an unfortunate consequence of the dude's oral fixation

and i've been thinking lots about your mouth

mouth in every song it seemed to me

True, ergh... cannot un-hear.

lol, always happy to help

as per upthred it's really kinda amazing how many names you'd be within your rights to throw at this lot

my uncultured mind added vampire weekend, my chemical romance, the streets, savage garden...

lol @ savage garden

yeah, like, a "related acts" matrix for this band would be crazy/divisive/hilarious

arctic monkeys for poptimists

aw hell let's toss The Outfield into this stew too.

haha tbf i do have a totally romanticised and probably totally baseless mental image of savage garden

Still a funny thread!

mm yeah i'd been trying to put his parentage to the back of my mind

i spose a crit could put it to shitty use wrt the kid's thespy fluidity and observational indulgences

OK fine I downloaded Savage Garden's "I Want You."

I get reminded of stuff from M83's last album at points, though that may have been more from some of the EP material.

Looks like there's a 2CD deluxe edition with all the EPs on the second disc.

Def m83 vibes xp

This album is the fucking best, my high expectations are surpassed. No ~deep thoughts~ yet, just letting it wash over me... Wow.

And Tim F leaving a trail of otm's all over this thread <3

These are all correct. esp last the two.

i keep confusing this band with vampire weekend :/ sorry dudes. my indie pop muscles have atrophied.

Xpost actually quite a few of the new songs here are really really really The Streets' "It's Too Late" multiplied by Savage Garden's "The Animal Song".

After loading those tracks up on YouTube, just... no.

jesus christ what is this

Actually, Savage Garden is totally accurate, but why the Streets? Is it the accent?
