they're playing in NYC at Les Poisson Rouge tonight!
saw them two nights back at rough trade (with a j0n w!ll!ams and a whiney) and it was fuckin' awesome, one of the better shows of the year for me.

This album sounds great but I can barely make it through a whole track... Not sure if that makes it truly great or what..

I been getting into this band a bit; rn I have Taiga, Feather Float, and Gold & Green on my phone. I think "Sai" from Taiga is my #1 fav standout track so far.

Oh no, that's awful. I've been listening to OOIOO a lot recently, especially Feather Float.

soooo... new album “nijimusi” out on thrill jockey in january. but for whatever reason, you can listen to the whole thing on apple music right now. three track in and it rocks!

i've been psyched for this for a while - no way to order it from japan that i can find, sadly. this news might make me consider taking up that free 3 months apple music trial.

hey, i don't have any insights on the new material, but i thought i'd share a live set that i found on my personal google music library: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iFadbf5C7ttgcj7FbBL4EibM4wj10zb9
it was recorded in chicago in the fall of 2004, so it's mostly kila kila kila material. if i remember correctly, i downloaded it from the thrill jockey website when they used to have a whole page for free downloads — mostly just a free track from whatever a band's current album was, but sometimes more substantial / exclusive stuff like this live set. the songs are not split up; it's just two long tracks. it's really good. hope you enjoy.
