And his records sound terrible

Lol it sounds like I have something personal against him; it's more just his buzz track sampling a big chunk of a rundgren song and adding bad vocals

He opened for Sleigh Bells - I left & got some drinks/cigs as one can only take so much shoulder thrusting
also the bang-bang-indie girl was paying me no heed

plax is on the mark. Prettier, less meaningful. Nothing like better production value to show that you write the same song over and over.

Paracosm sounds so beautiful.
Sounds like an album I will be playing a lot.

"All I Know" is gorgeous, and sounds fantastic cranked up driving around with the windows down.

I sometimes get overly self-conscious when I blast music in the car with the windows down. I usually end up toning it down, especially on red lights. I'll have to work up to it.

The title track and "All over Now" are really nice.

paracosm really left me cold! maybe i should give it another shot. i guess i think maybe it's been diminishing returns for them. or did chillwave just sound fresher to me in 2009?

hey he also added some woozy effects

i always heard that song and thought "this bass line is sick, how'd he come up w that?" "these drum fills are incredible, is he playing those?" etc. i guess he still is playing those. but it's by playing a record someone else made.

i wonder how much of that Portlandia money goes to Gary Low (a lot, i hope)
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 18:51 (eight years ago) link
same, i originally thought that it was at least a blend of samples from different sources & playing.
i think for his second album he made a point of playing everything, idk if anyone cared by then.

So they released a new album in August and I didn't even know!

It's a late-night low-key affair and I'm really liking it so far... leaning into the Sade vocals
