NO AGE

They’ve recorded 27 tracks thus far and are currently “trying to make sense of it.”

Oh hurry up with it.

kind of a disappointing new album :/

sounds like a collection of atmospheres

yeah, i agree. just sounds like a mass of rough sketches

it leaked? c'mon stimmung is fantastic...

the electric sound of floor wax

i really like the instrumentals but i don't like the lower, throaty vocals

album is totally a grower. becomes compulsive stuff.
another minor winner, i'd say!

the single is def a grower. i dug a few of the album tracks right away.

hasn't clicked yet. seems awful CLEAR.

"lock box" is dope.

Got my clear vinyl in the mail yesterday. On first listen, this definitely trumps Everything in Between. Maybe not quite up to the standard of Nouns. I am rooting for 'em.

i like this so far but it does sound like the album a band releases right before it breaks up

yeah it does sounds like Let It Be

it's VERY Tin Drum.

For serious though... I LOVE this record (and their others), but they really don't go anywhere new ever.
They gotta get sick of that eventually (maybe).

For now, I'll just keep enjoying all the new songs.

Looks like the shows are still hot too:

they did go somewhere new in this record. and failed imo.

yeah. i'd respectfully disagree with that.
maybe superficially slightly diff at times (we used contact mics... not drums!), but very much cut from the same cloth.

the energy is gone, and i think that was at least half of what made them good.

I can see somebody finding that an issue, but they've been playing the fuzzy melancholy hand (via 80s indie heroes) pretty hard for awhile now.

yeah i know, their "quite" record were never my cup of tea..

Seems like people stopped talking about the new album the second it came out! Anyway, I wrote a bunch of words on it (and even more about the Urinals) here:

i love no age. the new album isn't as good as the others but i still like it

they haven't broken up, have they?

MY LIFE'S ALRIGHT WITHOUT YOU!

except you

not you guys

i forgot about no age! i probably need to give their most recent one more chances, but i really didn't like it compared to all of their other stuff for some reason

me too! i don't even remember listening to "an object" even though i probably did.

it kind of worked better live, but I haven't returned to it much at all.

i only listened to them from nouns and after, due to being moderately less cool than ppl who are way cool

weirdo rippers is nice to go back and get comfy with

ah, they played a secret show here last month or so, i guess they're still going. glad

everything in between is pretty good, even if nouns and weirdo rippers are better

I adore EiB, Nouns, and the Losing Feeling EP is amazing too if you haven't heard it.
Saw them play some great shows during that era with a third member in the band, but when I saw them for An Object it was just Dean and Randy.

weirdo rippers precedes nouns though

right there was a narrative there, about what i only did, versus what i went on to do and in fact am doing right now

sorry man i aint proust

oh i guess read going back and getting comfy with as revisiting

weirdo rippers rules imo

it seems like turning down the riffiness worked a bit better for them

sorry man i aint proust

this is my new excuse for every one of my posts that are missing key things, like subjects or predicates or pronouns or reasons for existing

~~~~modernism~~~~~

into it!

I have never been cooler than when I knew about Weirdo Rippers when it came out.

how have you handled life since

Well I've listened to less indie

Which made me less cool? Never really thought about this one before

no, that doesn't sound right

Yeah good point. Cool album though

I didn't care for their last album that came out years ago, but this new song is excellent.

I loved that album, would rank it 2nd behind Nouns, super psyched they're back, was worried for a while they'd given up.

That 'Losing Feeling' EP and 'Everything In Between' still blow me away.
Maybe I should give 'An Object' another chance.

yeah I love it & don't know why the reception was so lukewarm at the time. I saw them play a month after it came out to a depressingly sparse crowd. they'd oversold the same venue 5 years earlier. Still super sweet guys.

Listening to the single now. I dig it, seems like an odd choice for a first single, & honestly not as good as anything on An Object. Looking forward to seeing them in November.
