this is a very good album and i love it

this is v good, and agreed with Brad and Tim - Shapeshifting always sounded lovely but it felt that for the most part somehow the songs weren't really linking up with the production so it just floated around being nice, this feels a lot fuller and more dynamic.

so good

such fantastic sound design on this record. they're still not really top tier songwriters but it barely matters when the backing tracks are this engaging

Idk if this Hanna "Lioness" EP (also produced by Lissvik) from last year was discussed here but it is goOoOod. I'm not feeling this Young Galaxy album, something about the vocals and the songs feel too monotonous imo :/
― lazyitis, Friday, 26 April 2013 19:57 (ten years ago) link
The new Lissvik-produced Mary Onettes album is quiet nice too and sounds like Echo and the Bunnymen go to the beach (...ok, fine) but it's prob too lolindie for ILM.

I bought that Mary Onettes lp, I find it *~delightful~*

Still need to finally listen to it all the way through! So I'll do that here after lunch.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 April 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link
1/2 of it I loved immediately and the other half I wasn't so sure about but I'm liking it more and more.
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 29 April 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link
played it for a friend who was wholly unfamiliar and he just said it sounded like less-grandiose Florence and the Machine :/

Have mixed feelings...definitely captures a ~~vibe~~ but the songs are kind of weak.

the way the music rises up behind 'when we rise up in fire'
so many great sonic details on here
― ciderpress, Thursday, 2 May 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link
i love love love the weird incantatory almost folky vibe of "fever" and "in fire"
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Thursday, 2 May 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link
She is so naively sincere the whole time.
Another reason why "What We Want" is the weak link here.
― Tim F, Thursday, 2 May 2013 21:12 (ten years ago) link
I like this but I still prefer Shapeshifting.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 2 May 2013 22:12 (ten years ago) link
Also that Hanna EP is brilliant! I have been waiting for the members of Cat5 to do more stuff, the other girl was working with one of The Tough Alliance but seemingly nothing has came of that yet.

Yet another predictable Turrican comment coming up...
...yet another 2013 release I love... fucking hell!
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Thursday, 9 May 2013 09:52 (ten years ago) link
I'm not sure about this overall, New Summer is amazing but overall it's a bit sickly, and most of the songwriting still isn't that great.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 9 May 2013 10:15 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I could happily take the Peaking Lights remix, "New Summer" and "Out the Gate Backwards" and leave the rest.
― scintilla (seandalai), Thursday, 9 May 2013 10:35 (ten years ago) link
How could people not be into "Fall For You", the last thirty seconds especially
― Tim F, Thursday, 9 May 2013 10:38 (ten years ago) link
the last 30 secs of that are just fading out backing vox?

Oh, it's definitely sugary music, but I've always found room for the sugary from time to time... overall though, I just love the way this album sounds.
― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Thursday, 9 May 2013 11:07 (ten years ago) link
Oh I mean the 30 seconds before that
― Tim F, Thursday, 9 May 2013 11:25 (ten years ago) link
this type of sound is starting to grate a bit for me.

cannot, cannot understand why someone would possibly prefer Peaking Lights' "Pretty Boy" remix over the original
― sean gramophone, Thursday, 9 May 2013 19:16 (ten years ago) link
I would have said the same two weeks ago, and then it clicked. Right about the time I bought better headphones, though that might just be coincidence.

I think I felt this when I was first listening to "Pretty Boy", and I definitely still feel this way about "What We Want", but the songs are sonically diverse enough, and (this time) the songwriting strong enough, to get away with the fact that it's basically a 2007 record.

Yeah, I haven't dug it out to listen to for a while, but I fully expect to still like it when I get around to hearing it again!

Deluxe edition coming out soon, listening to the promo -- mostly remixes but some of those are great!

Well, the new album is great.
Not sure there's anything on a par with New Summer or Cover Your Tracks (although that might change on repeated listens) but as a cohesive whole it's possibly better than the last one.
Entire thing is streaming on Soundcloud at the moment too

so i guess i'm over the issues i had with the vocals four years ago, b/c i totally love their new album. i'm gonna have to go back and see if i'm into the older ones now, too.
