am I the only one feeling A Mountain of One? or can I not use the search properly?

thats too hard to do

but, dude.

can you find a publicist-written band biography that doesnt overpromise like that?

In a former life, I used to get hundreds of those a week. That's one of the most, umm, enthusiastic I've seen.

not sure if it's because i'm on some great 00's Californian coffee, but i'm in love w/this word

ill say this--i like this band a lot, but my tolerance would drop SHARPLY if they went from this funny little group exploring the corners of an under-used set of tropes to this hugely hyped future-of-music band

i went from loving Studio when i felt this to kinda feeling bleh about them when all these anglophiles started hyping them as the new cure/talk talk/ar kane/whatevs band

I can relate, but in fairness, that's not Studio's fault. It isn't like they've wrapped themselves in that praise in some cynical attempt to capitalize on 80s nostalgia; they're just doing what they do.

so having listened to the new album--definitely not feeling it like i was the 2 EPs... theres no 'people without love' or 'freefall' which were my 2 faves. but still hits a certain humid-evening sweet spot.

was all set to pick this up today without hearing any of it.
only to realise its come out in digipack packaging.
yuck.
however, it is on spotify already.

Just picked up tickets to see these guys at the scala with mike simonetti, desire and glass candy in november. If I can put up with the tyorrent of turds that will be in the scala on a saturday i'll have a blinder

well, these albums are the perfect soundtrack for today while pottering in the garden.
really wish they had made some more music.

i was thinking about their beefy edit of Ian Hunter's "bastard" just the other day..

UM WHAT

A-side sounds excellent on first listen - very much in the vein of the first EP. B-side sounds like an overwrought sketch but I might get into it.

this Zei Orangen album from Kris Baha and Dreams is like the direction I had hoped AMo1 would go… leaning more to the psychedelic slowish tempo 80s dance like “big man restless”, or like “shake the mind” rather than the talk talk thing they kinda leaned into
