So this drcarlsonalbion crowdfunded film + soundtrack...soundtrack is good and in the vein of the other solo drcarlsonalbion stuff: slow, buzzy guitar riffs played with remarkable restraint and a beautiful tone. The film is...kinda silly and not great? Anyone else see it?

it demands to be watched. it is not entirely pleasurable but it is necessary, like childbirth

came here to more or less repeat what I said three years ago. every time I listen to Hex it slows time. great album to pull out every odd summer or so

Wrong thread? Hex? Are you talking about bark psychosis? That album does slow down time, indeed. It sucks the movement out of time. I am not sure but there are evenings where codename is the best album of all time. Even better than hex. But then in hindsight it does not hold up. It's such an album of the moment.

I presume he means the Earth record named 'Hex'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex;_Or_Printing_in_the_Infernal_Method
(That Bark Psychosis album is great too, though.)

lol I've not even heard that Bark Psychosis album in full. Codename Dustsucker is great though

New Earth album is out. Seems to be a Carlson/Davies duo affair, with no other contributors
― Duke, Saturday, 25 May 2019 14:56 (four years ago) link
First impressions are pretty great.
Really full sound. Multiple Carlson dubs
― Duke, Saturday, 25 May 2019 14:59 (four years ago) link
Power chord riffs

The Colour of Poison (sic: they use the British English spelling) is their most rock/"metal" piece in a long time
― Duke, Saturday, 25 May 2019 15:03 (four years ago) link
ah..... it's always good to see the first correct spelling of colour by a lolmerican of the day.
― calzino, Saturday, 25 May 2019 15:15 (four years ago) link
Given his obsession with English folklore perhaps unsurprising that he uses the British English spelling
― Duke, Saturday, 25 May 2019 15:31 (four years ago) link
sorry, I didn't mean that as shitty as it probably sounded!

Thought I was kinda over this band but overheard most of the new one in a record store last week and really liked what I heard. Maybe I still like Earth after all.
― Paul Ponzi, Saturday, 6 July 2019 20:32 (four years ago) link
Yeah, the previous three albums didn't really click with me, but this new one is great
― Duke, Saturday, 6 July 2019 20:57 (four years ago) link
Just me and Duke - no one else? The more I listen to the new one, the more I like it. Refreshing to hear the undiluted Earth formula again.
It occurs to me that DC is an easy guy to take for granted. I mean, he invented this sound whole cloth, and it's such a distinctive, singular sound. I've been disappointed by almost everything after Hex (which I still love), including the solo stuff that I kept compulsively buying for some reason, but this new one has definitely reignited my interest in the band.
Does anyone know if he's still exclusively playing the Tele? I assumed Dylan was a Tele guy all the way but some of the guitar tones on this new album sound very thick and humbucker-y to me.

i liked primitive and howling a lot, if the new one's even better hell yeah

― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 July 2019 12:54 (four years ago) link
New one is good yes
― imago, Tuesday, 9 July 2019 12:55 (four years ago) link
wait it came out in may?!??! what have i been doing
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 July 2019 12:55 (four years ago) link
Yeah I liked silent but deadly pretty well but have slept on this one thus far.
It didn't help that he nailed the aesthetic very early with the bees made honey and so the two angels albums were disappointing.
