Is there a thread on the band Growing?

I'm pretty much in agreement with the "'Beaches and Canyons' but without the rhythms or any sense of direction" descriptions, and yet I think I like "All the Way" more than "Beaches and Canyons". B&C without the rhythms would still be pretty great, but I think the shorter songs on "All the Way" have a lot to do with it ... Black Dice in 2003-4 would lose the plot and find it again about two or three times over the course of a fifteen minute song, but Growing go six minutes and out and I think I prefer the simplicity of that style.

haha! This is great!

Told you!

It does not remind me of Black Dice, it reminds me of that Hisham album, soft circle or whatever

one ting to rule dem, all one ting to find dem

they're playing tonight in providence, I guess they're a 3 piece now?

"pavement rich in gold" is one of the epics of the decade, up there with ghost's "grisaille," skm's "duk koo kim," and sm's "1% of 1"

I'm hearing this band for the first time, with no sense of what I should expect, and it is totally knocking me out. (Specifically The Sky's Run Into the Sea.)

So this band got back together and made a new record this year - two songs, 40 minutes. It's a lot closer in style to their earlier, dronier records.

Based on a couple of listens - I like it, though not as much as the first few albums. In any case I think this band is one of the most underrated acts of the 00s.
