Don't get me wrong I like every track individually but it does and up wallowing and drifting a lot esp. during the latter half, and I think it could've done with more art-pop sort of tracks like Fragment 2 to break it up.

That was always my issue with it. Still think it's s great piece of work, I just love their drums n synths n noise bits so much I wish there were more.

wrong thread... sorry.
Anyway, when are TNP releasing a new album?
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 10:21 (seven years ago) link
Listening to the Expanded concert at the Barbican. Really good, but so close to the record, it might as well be the same thing.

have been listening to field of reeds lately, oddly calming music for these shitty times. need to revisit 'hidden' really - will be interesting to hear how that sounds now given the ever deepening fractures in our sense of national identity and the general backwards trend towards some sort of atavistic spite and stupidity.
― del esdichado (NickB), Saturday, 20 May 2017 06:26 (six years ago) link
And yes, it will be fascinating to hear their next move
― del esdichado (NickB), Saturday, 20 May 2017 06:33 (six years ago) link
Field of Reeds is really underrated, at least here. It's a pretty incredible album, but when I saw the band here behind it it was in a half empty small club.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 20 May 2017 15:59 (six years ago) link
Heh, seems J Barnett did some church organing for Nurse With Wound in Berlin a few weeks back. Never thought about that as a connection myself, but it sort of makes sense, or at least does not obviously make not sense.

jack played the organ on some recent current 93 records and he played in the live band too when i saw them, so he is connected to that whole sphere

liked it better on second listen, but yeah you don't get a sense of any grand sonic progression from that one song. but that's just the lead track and i'd expect a lot more depth from the album. sounds like you're right about david tibet though

cool lil songdont really see them as a singles band tbh! stoked for this
― nxd, Friday, 9 November 2018 09:49 (five years ago) link
I like this but it's probably the only TNP song that feels like it might become cloying in time, Field of Reeds was extremely good at avoiding this. You don't really go to them for sweet little melodies.
― Matt DC, Friday, 9 November 2018 10:34 (five years ago) link
I like this. I always found that TNP was sometimes such hard work that the group's music failed to make the impact it could have done if they just reigned it in like 15%.

i like this track a lot more than "into the fire"
― ufo, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 17:26 (five years ago) link
okay i like that new song a lot. it's very bark psychosis i think? must admit that i'm hoping for some more visceral eruptions of horrible violence on the album though to offset all this lush broodiness
― my name is leee john, for we are many (NickB), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
It's very 'Blue' era late Bark Psychosis, esp how the band sounded live, just before they imploded.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 20:38 (five years ago) link
Predictably wonderful, this song

sounding very bark psychosis makes sense, graham sutton's producing again i think
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 11:12 (five years ago) link
Not terribly impressed by either new track myself, but I've only listened to them once. I'll wait until the full thing's out to see what their place is in the whole, besides they're probabably growers more than anything
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:31 (five years ago) link
I am also underwhelmed tbh
― imago, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:41 (five years ago) link
I like both new songs. I like that all their albums sound v distinct from each other.
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:42 (five years ago) link
probabably
how and why do i do this
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:44 (five years ago) link
what came to mind when i heard it was the Yves Tumour album so maybe that's why imago is underwhelmed
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
I got a King Krule echo
― imago, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 15:45 (five years ago) link
If Jack had a better singing voice this band would rule so hard for me but t ain't so, sadly.
― MaresNest, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 18:56 (five years ago) link
I love both of these songs. I also like that the musical vision is exploring a pendulum that's swinging back in the direction of Hidden.
― GDPR vs GAPDY (DJP), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 18:59 (five years ago) link
Big Bark Psychosis vibe here too: not so much a track as a passing weather system. Intrigued to hear it in situ.

plot twist: have now listened again to Noid by Yves Tumor and not only heard this comparison very clearly, but FAR preferred the Yves Tumor song, lol
― imago, Friday, 1 February 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
I'm listening to a stream of the new album now, and maybe it's the computer speakers or my cold, but it's sort of reminding me of like" Black Celebration" Depeche Mode, weirdly. I mean, def. sounds like TNP, but something kind of industrial about it, less Talk Talk-y? I'm about a third or so in, but need to take a break for other things.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 February 2019 22:18 (five years ago) link
that sounds about what i'd expect based on the singles, looking forward to it
