really liking repo. it's extremely chewable and funky.

Is it just me or do parts of this sound like the more fucked up, sonically abstract elements of Ween? Like their early shit. Ween that is.

I've told you I'm not gonna listen to this until it actually comes out.

I gave up on them shortly after Broken Ear Record - couldn't get into that one and didn't bother to listen to the next one that came out properly. How does this compare?

i gave it a listen, its awful

didn't listen too closely but super roots 6 came to mind.

Rarely listen to Broken Ear Record, but yanked it out since someone mentioned it. It was better than I remember, Street Dude kinda knocked me square.

can't stop listening to Hermaphrodite and Alien In a Garbage Dump today, the middle tracks are fucking brilliant on Hermaphrodite, I had been skipping them to get to Dinca/Scumpipe which is the absolute pinnacle u no

such a solid output
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 20:23 (fourteen years ago) link
these guys have been my stando answer for favourite band for a while
― plax (ico), Thursday, 25 February 2010 18:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Just finally picked up the Cold Hands EP the other day. Have yet to listen, but I've not been able to find that one until now. I think this may complete my Black Dice 2" or so of shelf space...!

hold hands is my 2nd or 3rd faveourite. its kinda the crucial bridge between the early singles and b+c
― plax (ico), Thursday, 25 February 2010 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link
haha, it'd be awesome if they had a record called hold hands.

lol emusic
I should ask about Growing, I saw them open for someone, maybe Fuck Buttons? It was pretty good.

sweet is not the right word. it definitely is heavy though.
― alex in mainhattan, Monday, 5 March 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
i am undecided, sort of feels like they're treading water even tho ~percussive~ is a good black dice mode. the latter half is great tho
― ogmor, Monday, 5 March 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, hardcore/jungle breakdowns!

way to make 13/8 boring

i like that its percussive & prefer the first half
― flopson, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, first half and the transition are cool. Not so into that zany swiggly guitar thing at the end :(
― MikoMcha, Monday, 5 March 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
Does Eric Copeland have a new record coming out on DFA this year? There's a new song called "Cannibal World" on this DFA sampler I got with the new Guerilla Toss LP. Totally missed out on the Jesus Freak record that came out in December, was that Europe only?

Do Black Dice still exist as a band? It's been a while.
― Position Position, Monday, 7 March 2016 20:59 (eight years ago) link
Good question. Bjorn lives in LA and Eric still lives in New York. I'm sure they'll put out another record eventually, but from the looks of their website, they've been busy with solo stuff...
― flappy bird, Monday, 7 March 2016 21:06 (eight years ago) link
new song. it's good

Bummed we never got more than the 12" last year. I gotta find that, it was really good...
meanwhile Goofballs, Eric Copeland's fourth album in a year, comes out in September. First single is nice: https://ericcopeland.bandcamp.com

Ha, listening to a promo of the full album now myself. Pretty good!
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 14 July 2017 02:56 (six years ago) link
I really liked the pop rock of Black Bubblegum, he wrote (and apparently played solo once at Palisades in BK) all those songs on an acoustic guitar. this new one seems more in line with his most recent two: dance, techno, more of a focus on bass.

I love this quote:“I knew about music but I had no idea how to do it. I didn’t realize the rate that someone was counting off was going to set the tempo for the fucking song. I thought you started at the same time, and played at the same speed, and then ended at the same time, and that was playing together. It didn’t occur to me that you could play in time to a beat, actually timing a note or a chord so that it lined up with a specific drum.”
