I like the new one despite them having bi virtually no personality or unique sonic identity at all.

they put on a good show, worth seeing (even if it's weird that there's no drummer).

A lot of softer textures, less aggressive guitars, all the ingredients are still there but the proportions are different. This is the first album of theirs that sounds different from all the rest to my ears.

I kind of hope we treat these two volumes as one single double-release for the eoy rollouts. I wish they would've been ballsy enough to release it that way.

I don’t know if I’m on board with the new album. Feels like some sort of indie version of U2’s pop. As if they’re trying to make some sort of psychedelic disco album but ultimately it ends up sounding overwrought and it’s drenched in way too much effects. It’s dizzying... not in a good way.

huh, this is quite different to what i knew of them (which admittedly I heard years ago now)

i can't say i am interested in this band anymore oh well!

in retrospect, this band's work is a pretty good study on how to run a couple of good ideas into the ground
― sleeve, Monday, 30 September 2019 14:19 (four years ago) link
yeah they did not evolve in a way i found interesting enough to follow

I’m actually digging the new one more than the last few. I like this droney spacey psychedelic-electronic ear cotton candy.

Yeah, I dig this new one quite a lot! Especially that bottom-heavy dub one towards the beginning.

Likewise, I'm enjoying this one a lot!

yeah i love this record. very surprised that my two favorite 2019 albums are Ripley Johnson projects (Rose City Band is really great), as I haven't been into any Moon Duo or Shjips stuff in a while.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 15 October 2019 15:38 (four years ago) link
Rose City Band is definitely great too! Yeah, it's been a really good year for Ripley, especially considering the two vastly different directions he's swinging.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 15:47 (four years ago) link
definitely a shift with this one. Sonic Boom's second career as a mixing-engineer-for-hire continues to produce some interesting results

New Rose City Band track sounds excellent
