― Evan R, Thursday, 29 August 2013 17:32 (ten years ago) link
this song is really, really good
"by your hand" is awesome though yeah. "to tundra" off the last joint is one of their best songs ever too.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 29 August 2013 17:40 (ten years ago) link
Hello Sadness was good enough, only OK, but I'll forever love it for lowering my expectations enough that I could be surprised and delighted by this new one. I didn't think the band had the wow factor left in them anymore.
― Evan R, Thursday, 29 August 2013 17:53 (ten years ago) link
HOLY FUCK COLOUR ME EXCITED
― a hoy hoy, Thursday, 29 August 2013 18:39 (ten years ago) link
all of the above especially the love for to tundra and the fact that most of hello sadness wasn't as mediocre as many of us older fans felt but that after some realllllly high quality heat rash singles and this i am v psyched for this record

Is there a way to hear those Heat Rash singles? I would happily shell out money for them; it was dumb of me not to subscribe.
― Evan R, Thursday, 29 August 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
not to my knowledge although if you email gareth at askheatrash or the official los camp account maybe he'd send you the mp3s for paypal?
if not (or if so?) send me an email
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Thursday, 29 August 2013 18:59 (ten years ago) link
the heat rash singles were great, but so was the tiptoe through the true bits b side they released for free through the blog and the christmas single which i don't think was a heat rash exclusive last year? doe to a deer iirc.
Heat Rash / Non Album Stuff:
Kindle a Flame in Her Heart / The Holly and the Ivy (December 2010)Heat Rash #1: Light Leaves, Dark Sees / Four SeasonsHeat Rash #2: Dreams Don't Become You / I Love You (But You're Boring)A Doe to a Deer (December 2012)Heat Rash #3: Allez Les Blues / Dumb LuckHeat Rash #4: She Crows (Documented Minor Emotional Breakdown #4) / To the BoneyardTiptoe Through the True Bits
Heat Rash #2 is covers and they're ok but not vital. #1 was good but not mindblowing. #3 and #4 are some of my favourite songs from that era of LC! and Doe to a Deer / Tiptoe are A+ wonderful.

There aren't many albums lined up for the rest of the year that I'm looking forward to (at least not ones with hard release dates), so I'm trying to lower my hopes for this album, because right now they're probably way too high
― Evan R, Friday, 27 September 2013 20:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah gareth sent me the album
i haven't had a chance to listen to it much yet unfortunately but it sounds really good..."glue me" is my favorite i think
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 28 September 2013 06:00 (ten years ago) link
Outstanding album
― Evan R, Thursday, 17 October 2013 15:50 (ten years ago) link
This might be a Top 10 of the year for me. Really enjoying it. Every song is so tight and compact.

Same. I wish Americans had a greater appetite for self-loathing and football metaphors. They weren't even able to tour here on the last one!
