saw them live, it was excellent
showed them to a friend via bandcamp
said friend is a drummer nerd who studied percussion in ghana and plays in an almost-famous neo-afrobeat outfit.
he listened to them for like two months straight, exclusively.
i am not “educated”
they are not a rock band to me but i love them

The promo was in my inbox this afternoon. It’s good.

BAGPIPES
― ogmor, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:08 (four years ago) link
seriously! still wrapping my head around this, feels like part of their continuum from the start and very cohesive but also some startlingly cool additions

deep horse lords
i had high expectations but my initial listen makes me think they've been surpassed
― ogmor, Friday, 13 March 2020 15:01 (four years ago) link
can't wait to get home and crank this at high volume!
― sleeve, Friday, 13 March 2020 16:08 (four years ago) link
this is great, of course
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:10 (four years ago) link
it's another one of these bands (like with Ahleuchatistas' Arrebato album) where I realise I don't really have an aversion to math rock when it's done like this.
― calzino, Friday, 13 March 2020 16:38 (four years ago) link
i mean this is just wonderful, ecstatic energy and creativity. i love it
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 13 March 2020 22:27 (four years ago) link
the last ~5 minutes of the closing track definitely has quotations of previous material. kind of a good trick for them to do
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 13 March 2020 22:49 (four years ago) link
Saw them live a few years ago at a sit down venue and they had the bagpipes. I think they suggested to close your eyes (? memory’s shaky here, but people had eyes closed) and the bagpipe guy played while walked around the room. Some cool psych phasing going on.

Was supposed to see them tonight in bk but we're living in a nightmare so going to buy the vinyl/merch instead. Fucking awesome band and amazing album.
― gman59, Saturday, 14 March 2020 17:22 (four years ago) link
they made awesome shirts for the new record but they’re completely sold out on bandcamp :/
― budo jeru, Monday, 16 March 2020 04:54 (four years ago) link
They already are on pressing #2 of the record I believe, they would re-up the shirts I imagine too if they sold out that fast. Especially as they aren't even getting to tour it for a while.
― grandavis, Monday, 16 March 2020 20:42 (four years ago) link
this is exactly the record I was hoping it'd be. definitely going to be cranking this a ton over the next few weeks of quarantine
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Monday, 16 March 2020 22:33 (four years ago) link
same
also, horse lords twitter confirms new round of shirts on the way
― budo jeru, Monday, 16 March 2020 22:44 (four years ago) link
Cool, figured. Hope you get one.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 02:04 (four years ago) link
Listening to this for the first time right now and fuck am I grinning at how fucking great this is. This is what I need right now. This, and wine.

Oh yeah, so good.

original post otm
still can't get over the most recent one.
"integral accident" feels very "einstein on the beach" at times.
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 10 June 2020 20:08 (four years ago) link
the mazey design thing on the album cover is a buncha Hs & Ls, right? Ls in the corner and Hs on the sides? right? this is a thought I had while staring at the album cover and pondering the design choice and listening to this. it's very good. "born under punches" works well on a playlist immediately after "fanfare for effective freedom" just fyi

Whoa now I gotta go dig that record out. Listened to it heavily when I first got it, such a great band.

huh, they've got some wacky stuff going on with their frets there, I see. reckon these lads have read a book or two about music theory and whatnot

I'm a sucker for some mictrotonal guitar action. These guys, King Gizzard, Noura Mint Seymali, who else am I missing?
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:01 (three years ago) link
Ahleuchatistas' Arrebato album from a few years back, for starters!
