the show i saw was kind of boring, unfortunately

wow, this new song sounds a lot like the field mice

doesn't the riff also sound a lot like "12:51" by the strokes?

Love it!
When I saw them live they sounded eerily (and kind of disappointingly) like the album. It's good to know they're not just studio rats but at least throw in an extra guitar solo measure or two.

i finally listened to this, it was okay, even though it sounded like everything from the early 90's. and there was one song that sounded just like something off the last yo la tengo record. but you know whatever.

The drummer is so cute in this video. The cross-legged conducting of 1000 drummers, etc. I love this song.

Is anyone going to the show on Thu?

I would expect nothing less from Ian 'Throb' Cohen.

I haven't listened to this record in a while, but it was definitely one of my favorites from last year

i pretty much prefer everything they've done that wasn't on the album to anything on the album

i wonder if they will show any development on future releases, they do tend to write the same song over and over. it's a catchy song mind.

I'd take an album and a couple more EPs of that same song over and over.

new album is just kinda whatever but man the first one is totally a classic

I think my favorite is the stuff from the interim between the 1st and 2nd albums. This one's okay, though I believe everyone in the band except the singer is a new hire.

New one is rather good, much better than the last. Probably relative to how much like the field mice they sound, closer to wratten the better.

Been surprised at how well the new record's stood up. I've listened to it a number of times and think it's probably as good as the s/t; but any band that's made the same album 3 times is going to fly under the radar. Love "Simple to Sure" > "Kelly" and "Eurydice" > "Masokissed".
I guess if you're going to ape your entire sound, do it as well as these guys do (see also: Yuck's debut).

Probably reductionist to post this in here, but Peggy Wang from TPOBPAH has a new band called Store Front. They put out their debut EP today and frontwoman Amy Rose Spiegel has a nice voice. Will appeal to fans of Pains and shimmery indie rock songs between 2:30 - 3:00.
