that was an unintentional 1 tbh
dude's perma-vibrato meant that i was only able to stomach that hospice album about twice through when it came out. with all due respect to its serious theme and subject matter, it also struck me as a little too genteel and linear for its own good.

I don't have much of substance to say, but for the last year about 50% of the music I've listened to has been from Hospice and Burst Apart.
I saw them live in Chicago in April, which was great, though I wish I'd had less to drink. Before the show I was outside with a friend while he smoked and we saw the stage door open, so we peeked in. Peter S1lberman came out of a van to guard the door. I said hello, and b/c I'm really bad with faces, I said "Are you...." and he said "I'm security," which was ridiculous! My friend asked if he would share the joint he had tucked behind his ear, but he declined. He was nice. We talked about the weather and the drive from St. Louis. My crush on him was affirmed and intensified. He was clean shaven, which was nice as a change.

lol @ "i'm security"
i haven't been listening to hospice and haven't gotten around to hearing all of burst apart yet

Took me some time to warm up to Burst Apart after the mind blowing Hospice. And I still prefer the latter for being completely unfuckwithable, but Burst Apart is a pretty darn strong album yo.
Cool beans experience Je55e :)

Yeh, I was really glad to get to chat with him! And I was especially happy that my friend who didn't know the band as well as I do was there to help make decent conversation. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have said "I'm your biggest fan," but I had a couple drinks in me, and I adore him and the band, so you never know.
"I'm security" was weird b/c he wasn't joking! I mean, I'm here to see your band play, dude, so there is a pretty good chance I've seen your mug in promo pix or on Youtube.

hundreds of thousands of hospital beds, and all of them empty but mine

suddenly every machine stopped at once, and the monitors beat the last time, hundreds of thousands of hospital beds, and all of them empty but mine

the bed was misshapen, and awkward and tall, and clearly intended for you

much more "produced" sounding than hospice? i think "glossy" is the word i'm looking for
guitars, horns
― markers, Monday, 31 March 2014 19:07 (ten years ago) link
damn guys
Sounds pretty good on first listen. I wouldn't call the production "glossy", maybe just "bigger"? I really liked their most recent Undersea ep so am psyched to hear all of this new one.

Sounds pretty good to me. Loved the woozy vibe of Undersea, and this isn't too far off.

Album is kicking around - very much the sound of that single, for 53 minutes. (A good thing, if you ask me, but I think it's gonna wear most people out.)
― Simon H., Saturday, 19 April 2014 18:52 (ten years ago) link
so their new album just came out yesterday, anyone into it?
― Bee OK, Thursday, 19 June 2014 02:24 (nine years ago) link
I think it's beautiful. I love the horns and the lead vocals; Can't wait till I have the money to buy this.

Just picked it up at the weekend. When we saw them live at ATP a couple of years ago I was vaguely worried they were gonna go down an early-Verve, wibbly reverb dream hole and forget to take any tunes with them. They kind of have, except that they've done it really well; instead of nothing but twisty/repetitive guitar lines, they've deployed brass really cleverly. It's a really lovely record to doze to on a Sunday afternoon when you're exhausted. And I mean that absolutely as a compliment. Looking forward to unraveling it a bit more. But not too much.

big fan of the previous albums but this is just too sleepy and contented for me to get into

an album about being washed that sounds as such is right in my wheelhouse these days
