Bought a copy today. Listening now. It's fantastic.

it is. and his older stuff, which is now available on bandcamp, is just as good.

new stuff has a very different sound. abandons 50s vibe in favor of something more electro-y, maybe? certainly more propulsive. sax is distinctive on these new cuts.

cool dude but i kind of hate this stuff, makes u realize there was a reason 50's musicians were confident and poised and perfect and endearing rather than mumbly and volatile

badlands is a great album
― flopson, Sunday, 23 October 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
yep. one of my favorites of the year.

it's so short, too
― flopson, Sunday, 23 October 2011 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
well, i think it's technically billed as a "mini-album" or "extended EP," or something like that.
yeah, it's short.

the old material he put out on various cassette-only labels (e.g., night-people; italian beach babes) is now available on bandcamp. it's also outstanding.

Man. "Dune Walker" sounds like Iggy Pop and Steve McKay over a seriously reduced, almost fried Basic Channel track. And then the guitar starts.

Late at night working, seems just about perfect right now.

new album's really interesting, i like how he switched it up just a little bit, like another album of murky rockabilly would've been a retread but it's still super-recognisably dirty beaches

This track is a highlight, especially the electro-doom second half:

Just heard the August At Akiko's soundtrack and finding it difficult to believe this is the same guy. Some really nice jazz improv here. Was there talk about this album somewhere I might have missed? Also is it weird that Factory released this?
Anyone seen the film?

I've seen it! one of my favorites in recent history
