the DIIV LP is really excellent but the one I'm most pumped for is the Holograms LP; that ABC City single was fukkin RAD

still think Mac DeMarco sux tho
haha

DIIV album is pretty killer. Sometimes I feel like it gets a little too, I don't know...amorphous or something...like all those chiming guitars just begin to sort of run together and float off and get lost, and thus I kind of forget it's even playing. But that may just be more about me being distracted or something. I certainly dig the overall vibe...

Did you write that review on pitchfork?
― Evan, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 05:11 (eleven years ago) link
diiv and heavenly beat are both ok but neither are a patch on beach fossils imo, even despite almost every BF song sounding essentially the same

excited about holograms lp for sure though
I should learn how to quote at some point, I guess, but anyway: No, Evan, I didn't. Haven't even read it yet. Will do so now.
I noticed the Impose review said some similar things, so I guess maybe there's something to whatever I said that P4k also said...
― alpine static, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 06:25 (eleven years ago) link
Only asked because of the use of "amorphous" here and there. I know I latch onto words I use to describe something, so I was seeing if it was a coincidence in this case.
― Evan, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 05:31 (eleven years ago) link
After reading it, I figured as much. Not me, though. Wish it was!
― alpine static, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 07:37 (eleven years ago) link
Really like the DIIV album, this label is probably the best thing going in indie rock right now.
Also, happened to notice that Best Buy had like 6 copies of DIIV, which seems pretty cool for a Captured Tracks release, good for them.

yeah the diiv is quite a bit better than i was expecting based on the 45s so far. pretty strong record.
the holograms is a bit the opposite - abc city is a cool record but i find the record as a whole a bit restrained and anonymous
― bad wife decisions (electricsound), Saturday, 21 July 2012 01:12 (eleven years ago) link
I really dig the Holograms album. it's like Iceage with a goth infusion. Memories of Sweat is a good song title.
― I don't even know wtf this band sounds like I'm just trollin (fffv), Saturday, 21 July 2012 01:24 (eleven years ago) link
This fuckin' label. Picked up the Holograms today and its slaying me too. I'm kinda starting to feel about this label the way I did about like Matador back '94-'96.

new wild nothing lp stream
http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/14180/1/rise-wild-nothing-album-stream
sounds really really good
― detune two oscillators...than what (electricsound), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 04:28 (eleven years ago) link
at the risk of acting like typical record collector scum, I'm a little bummed that I missed out on the colored vinyl for the last Dignan Porch LP; I'd managed to get every alternate pressing they'd put out going back to the Wild Nothing/Beach Fossils releases back in 2010 until this one. they must have only gotten like five copies, though - I literally placed my order 5 minutes after they were announced as being on sale on FB. oh well.
in news about actual music, I really really really like the new Wild Nothing. a couple of my friends who were all into the pining, lovelorn sound of the first one aren't as hot on it, but I just can't turn down songs as good as the ones on that record.
― With enduring faith, W. Cunt. (jamescobo), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
got the new wild nothing in the mail, the sleeve is absolutely beautiful (and the letterpress outer is lovely too). might even listen to it one day.
― beautifully in with its outness (electricsound), Friday, 31 August 2012 05:18 (eleven years ago) link
You got the limited copy? Was debating that but it's like $10 higher. Will probably appreciate pretty well though.
― Evan, Friday, 31 August 2012 05:32 (eleven years ago) link
it's a really nice looking package - i felt the diiv one was not worth the extra $$ but this one is
― beautifully in with its outness (electricsound), Friday, 31 August 2012 05:33 (eleven years ago) link
Well damn and it already fetched $60 on ebay. Should have pre-ordered it. I got a regular copy but now I'm going to keep wishing I had the color vinyl for no good reason.
― Evan, Friday, 31 August 2012 05:37 (eleven years ago) link
haha. at one point i thought i would collect all the limited CT releases but i couldn't face paying a premium for the heavenly beat record
― beautifully in with its outness (electricsound), Friday, 31 August 2012 05:39 (eleven years ago) link
snapped one up at amoeba records yesterday and they still have some in their online store, might want to give that a go.
― omar little, Friday, 31 August 2012 05:55 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks, but hindsight over limited vinyl pass ups is me at my ugliest with materialism. Got to get over that! What's saddest of all my record collection only really impresses myself.
― Evan, Friday, 31 August 2012 05:59 (eleven years ago) link
what's the verdict on the Heavenly Beat album? I really like "Tradition" but after one listen it seems the rest of the LP is just variations with diminishing returns. But man does he nail that 1992 synthy sound.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 6 September 2012 09:31 (eleven years ago) link
it's.. ok. i enjoy the tracks when they turn up in shuffle, and it's always nice when a band has some durutti influence, but it's a tough listen straight through because it's so samey
― relentlessly busting your smoo (electricsound), Thursday, 6 September 2012 09:49 (eleven years ago) link
i'm really amped for the Chris Cohen record. i love both of the singles so far.

wow, the dignan porch lp is a huge step forward from their earlier stuff. really good. and i'm digging the chris cohen record a lot too
the naomi punk album on the other hand sounds like shitty grunge demos of one song they never quite remember how to play the same way each time
― linalooool (electricsound), Wednesday, 3 October 2012 03:11 (eleven years ago) link
the Chris Cohen record is INCREDIBLY good. can't recommend it enough.

"the naomi punk album on the other hand sounds like shitty grunge demos of one song they never quite remember how to play the same way each time"lol. yeah i'm not entirely sure how i feel about it right now. i feel the Pacific Northwest vibe, but i'm not sure if it's anything really remarkable.that said, the new Chris Cohen and Mac DeMarco have made this a pretty great fall for this label in my opinion.
― ripersnifle, Friday, 12 October 2012 18:23 (eleven years ago) link
so i should get that chris cohen record? cobo you got that shit on colored vinyl to sell?

i like the chris cohen album, at first i was like "huh this just sounds exactly like microphones" then i was listening to it every day
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 12 October 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
it reminds me a lot of Emitt Rhodes' first couple of albums - less Beatles-y but same level of homespun songcraft. there's seriously not a bad moment on it. legit one of my very favorite albums of 2012.
― With enduring faith, W. Cunt. (jamescobo), Friday, 12 October 2012 23:45 (eleven years ago) link
Judging by the DIIV performances on Pitchfork right now they're awful live and I'll avoid that and just stick with the record.

BTW the Blissed Out Fatalists record on the new CT sublabel Body Double? Great. Like early J&MC and the Fall and some American noise rock style.
