remember really loving all these new songs live but I never went back to relisten so I wonder if I'll even remember them. outside of "Defeat" which I definitely will

Is the companion album to Time Skiffs?
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 24 July 2023 20:24 (ten months ago) link
it's songs that were written during the same period as the time skiffs material but recorded later because time skiffs was recorded remotely due to covid and they wanted to be able to jam in person to record these songs

now that's what I call beach boys!

Haven't been this excited for a new AnCo album in a long time, tbh
same!

"Soul Capturer" is great, can't wait to hear the full version.
I mean, I loved Time Skiffs a ton, but I went into it with pretty low expectations. This time I'm actually really amped for the new one.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 27 July 2023 14:45 (ten months ago) link
yea when I saw them live it was pretty clear they were still full of ideas. it's kind of rare to see a band that's been around 20+ years and not be thinking "oooh I hope they play X and Y and Z", instead I was just kinda hoping to hear more weird shit. some of the older tracks they played like "Wide Eyed" sounded totally new because they were so thoroughly rearranged. so yeah high expectations for this one especially since Time Skiffs was so good. also don't sleep on the Panda Bear/Sonic Boom album from last year, it's total ear candy from start to finish. I like it about as much as Person Pitch.
― frogbs, Thursday, 27 July 2023 15:46 (ten months ago) link
Oh yeah, that Panda/Sonic album was great too. 2022 was a good year for AnCo stuff.

I trained a new college radio DJ a couple weeks back, he was prob 18, he totally knew them and his fave was Spirit!

Reset & Person Pitch are the only AnCo solo records I have. In addition to Tomboy which I just ordered. What are the other good ones? Just checked on RYM and nothing Avey's done scores well but these are the folks who saddled Painting With with a 2.7 so idk how much I trust them
― frogbs, Thursday, 27 July 2023 18:59 (ten months ago) link
I dislike most Avey solo but REALLY REALLY like Eucalyptus!
― out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Thursday, 27 July 2023 19:27 (ten months ago) link
Yeah, Eucalyptus is really good.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 27 July 2023 20:00 (ten months ago) link
The two tracks from this forthcoming album make me dangerously happy but also absurdly nervous, because, you guys … THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED from this band right now.

Frogbs, get at this

Also do not sleep on the Deakin record
I don’t love a lot of Panda Bear albums front to back but if he ever does a best of, it’s gonna be a home run.
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 27 July 2023 20:29 (ten months ago) link
ooh yeah, forgot about the Deakin record, I've heard good things
― frogbs, Thursday, 27 July 2023 20:37 (ten months ago) link
The first three tracks on “down there” are phenomenal too, I rank Laughing Hieroglyphics as one of his best tracks, including anco material. And yeah, eucalyptus is an amazing album, though I can never get past the first LP because it’s such a cohesive package to me already. Really need to give the second part a fair chance.

the new one is the best they've ever sounded, really lovely production (courtesy of russell elevado, notable for engineering/mixing a whole lot of neo-soul albums including voodoo & black messiah)
some of the songs are quite nice as well but i haven't really wrapped my head around all of them yet
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 06:07 (nine months ago) link
i said the same thing about the last album's production but this one's even better in that regard
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 06:11 (nine months ago) link
i think it's just the last two tracks i don't really care for
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 06:31 (nine months ago) link
wow, release date is Sept 29, did this leak already?
― out-of-print LaserDisc edition (sleeve), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 13:49 (nine months ago) link
yeah RYM already going bonkers over it
i'll be good and wait though
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 14:17 (nine months ago) link
I did not expect myself to be this excited about AnCo in 2023, but I really am.
I did laugh at the digital bonus track, a "radio edit" of "Soul Capturer" that shaves it alllll the way down to 5:44 from 6:08. I'm sure those 22 seconds were exactly what kept that from blowing up on the IHeartMedia empire.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 16:41 (nine months ago) link
sorry my bad, "single version" not "radio edit", but still
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 16:42 (nine months ago) link
well hold on, it could be a different cut or a different mix. I know in electronica it's not uncommon for a single version to have different elements than the album version, can def see AnCo doing something like that
― frogbs, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 17:04 (nine months ago) link
ha, that's true, i just thought it was funny to see the timings
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 17:08 (nine months ago) link
it just cuts off ~20 seconds of ambience from the start of the track lol
― ufo, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 21:50 (nine months ago) link
lol, top of the pops here we come!
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 21:55 (nine months ago) link
I heard it on WFMU this morning!
― mizzell, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 22:48 (nine months ago) link
If you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fitSo they cut it down to 5:44
― Vinnie, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 23:48 (nine months ago) link
hahah ok then
