I was weary of this because "lol Hot Creations" but this is brilliant. Is the intro meant to sound like they're singing the words "walk and talk" with some sort of self-referencing?
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 19 January 2013 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
Glad this is finally coming out.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 20 January 2013 20:42 (eleven years ago) link

Almost 30 years ago, metal band Judas Priest found themselves embroiled in a legal proceedings after allegations that subliminal messages in their music drove two Nevada teens to insanity. Benoit & Sergio's new EP That's the Party Talking may land the classy-dance duo in a similar situation, as we're pretty sure it's subtly imploring us to do drugs.

there'er previews of the other 2 new (i think?) songs on itunes, i think they sound better than this tbh
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 30 November 2014 21:27 (nine years ago) link
i like the cut up vocals on this one but they always do cool shit with vocals
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 30 November 2014 21:31 (nine years ago) link
Waiting for their album already.
Liking this on first listen a bit more than the last single.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 30 November 2014 22:02 (nine years ago) link
Two new eps coming out in the next two months, hoping "Dancing Shoes" still sounds like this:http://soundcloud.com/mathilde-dhjan/benoit-sergio-dancing-shoes

what ive lost is really elegent & profound & beautiful imo its really been hitting me hard as of late
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 20 February 2016 17:59 (eight years ago) link
yeah it's a masterpiece, i put it on a couple times a year and it always kills me. between b&s and those early nicolas jaar singles there was some really beautiful airy tactile post-minimal house in the early 2010s, for dilettantes like me who only find out about music thru ilx at least
― flopson, Saturday, 20 February 2016 19:00 (eight years ago) link
from their new-ish EP; I don't think there's ever gonna be an LP.

nice textures but I hope they're not moving completely away from the dancefloor and into stadium indietronica

― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 11 August 2022 09:46 (one year ago) link
Back in 2012, when I was describing their ace track "Lipstick and Lace" to friends, I assumed their name was pronounced "Ben-wah and Saire-heo", like some sort of French/Spanish crossover. Is that in any way correct? Or is merely as the English phonetics would indicate?

great album, soothing and lush

Why are they seemingly so ignored / unknown?
― Evan, Thursday, 19 January 2023 18:27 (one year ago) link
I thought the album was really underwhelming, one of the biggest disappointments of 2022, especially after it taking so long to arrive
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 19 January 2023 18:28 (one year ago) link
Shame you felt that way. Guess it helps that they're pretty new to me. Years of anticipation is hard to live up to.
― Evan, Friday, 20 January 2023 15:19 (one year ago) link
Ah, makes sense, Evan!
Many of the rest of us have been awaiting that album for a decade, so when expectation is building on the back of “Walk and Talk,” “Boy Trouble,” “Adjustments,” etc …
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 20 January 2023 15:22 (one year ago) link
“Lost Decade,” the title track, is my sole keeper from this record, and it isn’t close to my favorites of theirs overall
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 20 January 2023 15:23 (one year ago) link
Just surprising then that there wasn't a discussion. Though I remember seeing a disappointed comment somewhere that isn't here. Still!
― Evan, Friday, 20 January 2023 17:38 (one year ago) link
“Principles” still completely blows me away. Do people not care about that one for some reason?
― not too strange just bad audio (brimstead), Friday, 20 January 2023 20:40 (one year ago) link
I hadn’t been aware of “Principles” somehow. It’s pretty good!
― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 21 January 2023 16:13 (one year ago) link
“Principles” is great, though I do think they peaked early where with “Full Grown Man” and “What I’ve Lost”.
