Uggh, so pissed I missed them when they played Charlottesville. Why VA Beach? Didn't realize anyone played VA Beach ....

i almost ordered the vinyl last night (said their were 4 left) but held off ... surely they'll have someone at the merch table on tour, yah?
― alpine static, Friday, 29 April 2016 16:45 (eight years ago) link
they are playing with friends of mine about 50 feet from my store on the 3rd of may. gonna buy all the records.
― scott seward, Friday, 29 April 2016 16:49 (eight years ago) link
yes i hit the atm just now in order to raid the merch table tonight. i might buy a t shirt if they exist. the last band shirt i bought was napalm death.

this is next-level, even better than Hidden Cities imo
drummer really shines on this so far
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Saturday, 30 April 2016 15:34 (eight years ago) link
there are two!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Saturday, 30 April 2016 16:43 (eight years ago) link
at least there were when i saw them one holding down the fort and the other one who did more intricate stuff and had at least one cowbell
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Saturday, 30 April 2016 16:44 (eight years ago) link
ah that explains the intricacy I was grooving to, thx
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Saturday, 30 April 2016 17:05 (eight years ago) link
two drummers on friday night, though the more-intricate one doubled on sax for "truthers." they are selling a t-shirt in the same color as the album jacket and it is gnarly in the cold light of day. psyched to wear to summer weddings or jury duty.
― adam, Sunday, 1 May 2016 23:32 (eight years ago) link
He played saxophone when I saw them last year too, & used the circular breathing technique that I see jazz dudes use. It dawned on me that he had probably been to official Music School but it's always possible he taught himself to be super awesome.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 2 May 2016 00:42 (eight years ago) link
ha was just listening to this and then surfed to ilx and saw this thread was at the top so i'll just add to the chorus that it's great
― Mordy, Monday, 2 May 2016 00:43 (eight years ago) link
if y'all don't know that circular breathing sax dude is Andrew Bernstein who has a couple of excellent albums posted in the current time-travel thread, well, now you know.

this stuff hasn't fully clicked for me but imma go see em on thursday, hoping it'll all come together in a live + really stoned context. Max Eilbacher's old band Needlegun played maybe my favourite crazypants diy set ever, blew me away on just like a random thursday night show i went to cause my friends were opening. and this thursdays show is at the same bar. unfortunately the opening arent my friends cool noise band but some jazz skronk wankers... bleh

re: two drummers and sax above, and this should be in the thread anyway. I think this is Wildcat Strike off the first record (and drum-->sax switch around 4min).

It does seem like they could have used more help booking their tour. One of the places they are playing in the Bay Area is like, the worst place to see a show in the wanky-bad-free-improv no one shows up because it's boring places (as opposed to douchebro/overpriced drinks type worst places)

I should say, I like it more than anything since the mixtapes (which are incredible, go check them out if you haven't)

Re: crowdfund backers, from an email reply from Andrew Bernstein just now: “Pre-orders have been shipping this week and last week, so your record should be on its way.”

cool guest mix of the Folkways catalog:
https://folkways.si.edu/playlist/peoples-picks-horse-lords
― sleeve, Friday, 16 December 2022 16:37 (one year ago) link
We might have embarked on this playlist—as others wisely have—with a theme to lend some cohesion to the result, but instead we chose chaos. The dizzying, impossible variety of music and sound that Smithsonian Folkways (and some smaller labels under their caring umbrella) has given the world ought to be experienced as a disjointed, disorienting maelstrom of pleasure, totally resisting any representation of its totality ...
love these guys but god are they insufferable. like just admit that you threw something together at the last minute
― budo jeru, Saturday, 17 December 2022 17:06 (one year ago) link
Nothing insufferable about that statement imo.Started listening in bed yesterday and fell asleep, first three tracks I liked though :)
― willem, Saturday, 17 December 2022 17:33 (one year ago) link
I don't get the obsession here with accusing these guys of being any more pompous than any other arty post rock band
