this is incredible
rhythm of the verse melody reminded me of "i want you" by savage garden, i'm not complaining

omg I thought of the same too
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 19:57 (six years ago)
is that ariel rechtshaid sitting next to danielle in the last shot?
lol i got the savage garden thing too
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:00 (six years ago)
third time through and I literally started crying
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:02 (six years ago)
this is very good but it's almost distracting how much the verse sounds like "i want you"
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:07 (six years ago)
Mentioned already but it does sound a lot like Savage Garden, even moreso than how the last one sounded like Lou Reed. A
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:14 (six years ago)
no the last one was a deliberate lift of "walk on the wild side," i'm pretty sure it sounds more like lou reed than this sounds like savage garden
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:14 (six years ago)
the production reminds me of CRJ? anyway this is good and I'm glad it's not another Vampire Weekend sonic cousin
― Simon H., Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:18 (six years ago)
It reminds me of a Savage Garden, but with a mix of "I Love You Always Forever" as opposed to Roxette.
― MarkoP, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:29 (six years ago)
it's good!

The way they embrace minimalism seems pretty unique (caveat: have to admit I'm pretty divorced from modern alt-pop)
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:34 (six years ago)
Whenever they use a skittering rhythm track that forces them to go almost breathless, I swoon.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:36 (six years ago)
but then I liked Something to Tell You more than most, I think.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:37 (six years ago)
something to tell you remains quite underrated
agree that this track is very "i love you always forever" too
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:46 (six years ago)
Let's put it this way: the Jennifer Paige of "Crush" would've killed this too.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 20:49 (six years ago)
Well whatever the influence is I love how it sounds on them.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 21:19 (six years ago)
Thought it was a cover of Bootylicious before the vocals came in.
― Fetchboy, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 21:24 (six years ago)
Yeah that rhythmic chug def has "Edge of 17" vibes, albeit thinner.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 21:26 (six years ago)
Feel like this new one is their best track to date
― winters (josh), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 23:46 (six years ago)
Very "Edge of 17" indeed !And they also still have some VW gimmicks (the synth choir, the piano) which is normal since Batmanglij is on the production team.
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 31 October 2019 10:23 (six years ago)
now that's a bridge
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 31 October 2019 12:19 (six years ago)
Now that's more like it.
― cpl593H, Thursday, 31 October 2019 15:00 (six years ago)
On the other hand I think it's been too long since the last time I heard a guitar solo from Dani.
― cpl593H, Thursday, 31 October 2019 15:02 (six years ago)
Feels like they're moving into more refined territory

love this. leans heavily into fleetwood mac territory, but at the same time feels like a new landscape for them
― monotony, Monday, 18 November 2019 23:51 (six years ago)
if it exists/ever comes out this might be their best album
Pretty song.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 02:31 (six years ago)
amazing song, not too far from carpenters territory neither. sounds like a classic.

good shit

can't say why but i bet alfred especially loves this one
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 20:02 (six years ago)
the intro of this sounded great perking up through the dying nasty chord at the end of the Ulcerate single
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 20:08 (six years ago)
really nice chorus
― Indexed, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 20:23 (six years ago)
sounds like a sheryl crow joint

The main guitar lick's cool -- yeah, a Sheryl Crow vibe. The verses are kinda blah?
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 20:28 (six years ago)
i feel like u can tell which parts of this video were directed by a PT Anderson and which parts were directed by a HAIM

this is accurate.
― Thybulle on the Dash (Spottie), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:45 (six years ago)
interesting that they are kind of accreting a great 2020 album where I'll have listened to most of the best tracks in 2019
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 00:50 (six years ago)
that's kinda how their debut rolled out
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 15:38 (six years ago)
This sounds more influenced by songs in Tusk like “what makes you think you’re the one” than by Sheryl Crow.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 15:41 (six years ago)
wow yeah moka otm
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 15:44 (six years ago)
lot of the weird fuzzy boxy disembodiedness of "the ledge" in the production
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 4 March 2020 15:46 (six years ago)
i’m really into this - the way it sounds, the writing, the video! danielle thumping the drums!!
so far it’s now i’m in it > the steps > hallelujah > summer girl for me, though i find something to enjoy in all of them
― monotony, Saturday, 7 March 2020 08:27 (six years ago)
Correct ranking
― Tim F, Saturday, 7 March 2020 08:49 (six years ago)
it is the correct order. more generally, having drifted away a little after their early singles, i’m delighted at the quality of the recent stuff.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 7 March 2020 09:39 (six years ago)
The Steps is one of the best three or four songs they've ever recorded. It is WAY UP THERE for me.
