Funny thread!
I think I would end up liking these guys a lot if they were played on the radio all the time

This is okay but I'm not sure I'm really feeling the magic.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:37 (ten years ago) link
but you concede it is magical, your honor the defense rests
― k3vin k., Saturday, 31 August 2013 16:43 (ten years ago) link

these guys are playing for free here next week, do you think they'll be more swoony dreamy emobient live or more shitty indie plodders?

Dunno what you're talking about m8 xp
― rooibos in disguise (wins), Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:06 (ten years ago) link
srsly think i'm just gonna leave 'settle down' on loop and call it a day, there are no other songs in the world
― r|t|c, Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:12 (ten years ago) link
idk what you're on about but they're great live
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 31 August 2013 17:22 (ten years ago) link
sometimes they play "head.cars.bending" and they make it pretty massive
In fact from now on maybe I will just conduct all conversations about these albums via LINE.

I listened to Chocolate and the EP version of Sex again and I think I'm starting to get hooked. Kind of afraid.

Finally tracked this down (as opposed to listening to the stream) and took it with me to the gym. Most emotional session ever.
"M.O.N.E.Y.", "Settle Down", "Girls" and "Menswear" are all thoroughly ~my shit~
― Tim F, Sunday, 1 September 2013 06:03 (ten years ago) link
I like how "M.O.N.E.Y." and "Menswear" are like like parts two and three of a trilogy started by "So Far (It's Alright)".
― Tim F, Sunday, 1 September 2013 06:05 (ten years ago) link
Kinda feel like Paramore's 'It Aint Fun' is a first cousin once removed to like half this album.

"girls" is so good

also the final 2 mins of "settle down"

and the first min of Pressure

Just did a road trip to San Diego with the wife sans kids for a childhood friend's wedding. This and Paramore are pretty much all we listened to there and back and driving up and down the coast. I haven't had an album strike me down like this in a long time.
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 2 September 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link
Sort of enjoying this. Sounds like a cross between Prefab Sprout and John Waite in both sound and vision.

Don't know anything about this mob but, somewhat bizarrely, they were on this yesterday

Haha Matt if you come on board with this as well it will be perfect, a giant cosmic reverse-birthday-present for Lex.
I vomited on his living room floor instead. Which I think on balance would have been the preferred option of the two.

Tabs with unlimited 0'sNew clothesBloody nosePowders and walking back homeHas he got enough weed?NoBroken phoneRetching on the floor aloneI can't believe that we're talking about him

What's up with this dude's accent by the way? I can't work out what's going on with his vowels at all, if someone hadn't told me they were from Manchester I would never have guessed. They've got an inherent Aussieness to them that I can't put my finger on.
― Matt DC, Monday, 2 September 2013 11:26 (ten years ago) link
perhaps its an unfortunate consequence of the dude's oral fixation
― r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 14:21 (ten years ago) link
and i've been thinking lots about your mouth
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 2 September 2013 14:42 (ten years ago) link
mouth in every song it seemed to me
― r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 15:11 (ten years ago) link
True, ergh... cannot un-hear.

lol, always happy to help
― r|t|c, Monday, 2 September 2013 17:48 (ten years ago) link
as per upthred it's really kinda amazing how many names you'd be within your rights to throw at this lot
my uncultured mind added vampire weekend, my chemical romance, the streets, savage garden...

lol @ savage garden
― k3vin k., Monday, 2 September 2013 17:58 (ten years ago) link
yeah, like, a "related acts" matrix for this band would be crazy/divisive/hilarious

I get reminded of stuff from M83's last album at points, though that may have been more from some of the EP material.
