"Shadows" is a brilliant song, and they'll always be heroes for their turn on Aeroplane's remix of "Paris" and Shinichi Osawa's cover of "Star Guitar".

I can't actually remember how any of their songs went, now. Apart from the Aeroplane remixes.

The first half of the last album is lovely, but it gets a bit samey after that. Bits of the Julia Holter album remind me of them actually, although only one segment of a song.

erika spring just released her own solo titled ep - given it a couple listens. it's fun, but unmemorable at parts. kinda pastiche in that brooklyn way that's sorta the norm.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUU2e2CCELc
real nice atmosphere atmosphere throughout tho. i'm looking forward to her full release.

director's obvious play at getting erika to prowl and un-clothe under limits of legality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXDYv7o7_a8

*chick. bye.
Their new record is coming out next week and is streaming now at NPR. If you're down with the ARS sound, you will dig this hot new wax, people.

Has it really been 3 and a half years since the last one? Blimey.
― Jeff W, Monday, 23 September 2013 15:05 (ten years ago) link
4 and a half even!
― Jeff W, Monday, 23 September 2013 15:07 (ten years ago) link
I regret to say I am not digging this hot new wax at all :(
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 18:36 (ten years ago) link
That's crazy talk man!
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 23:09 (ten years ago) link
Yeah not feeling this either, it hasn't got the lightness of touch of the last one.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 10:00 (ten years ago) link
I like it

I like this more than any other album of theirs I've heard, even though it is very front-loaded. I keep expecting them to belt but it's still all very restrained, which is actually quite nice.
― boxedjoy, Monday, 30 September 2013 22:16 (ten years ago) link
ARS don't belt. They waft.
I like Still Night better but this is still a fine record.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 2 October 2013 00:49 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, it would be unexpected and weird if they were to start belting, but the songs seem to lend themselves to these big moments that seem even sweeter because they keep things grounded. When I'm singing along to this in the car I find it very easy to oversing along.

They sounded great on Twin Peaks.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 20 November 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link
yes i'm a big fan of them. the way to there has similar chords to cranberries ode to my family, they mix very well

first new track in six years?https://aurevoirsimone.bandcamp.com/track/how-long

Love that. Hope this isn’t a one off. Welcome back, anyway.
― Jeff W, Friday, 15 May 2020 17:42 (three years ago) link
Thank you for sharing. Love this band.
― treeship., Friday, 15 May 2020 22:06 (three years ago) link
the last verse of a violent yet flammable world, with the overlapping vocals, is one of my favorite things ever recorded
― treeship., Friday, 15 May 2020 22:28 (three years ago) link
this new track was unreleased from 2011 -- new new music may be unlikely, but I'm hopeful!
― winters (josh), Saturday, 16 May 2020 06:01 (three years ago) link
That's a shame, but glad to hear this anyway.

Another song, “Come Away”, has just been uploaded to Bandcamp
