If the whole album is even in the proximity of the quality of these two songs, it will be ilm royalty.

Sade really should have made a nu-disco comeback. I love these.

Have been listening to the last album a lot lately. Forgot just how great it is.

so according to their twitter they've been streaming all sorts of stuff here, including various unreleased tracks and demos etc.

really wanna hear the version of Out of the Dark with an uncleared sample that was mentioned but it doesn't seem like anyone's recorded the streams or anything

ufo, Monday, 6 August 2018 10:43 (five years ago) link

we just streamed the record on https://t.co/0KPQxnXqmk but there were no listeners, sorry folks

Keep trying to get into these people but failing. Hoping for Sade but just getting Ivy vibes from them.

I had a feeling they were gonna do this

Didn't catch it when it was on but the extended version is over 12 minutes long!

how is this band so good

here's a live version of Power of Two from a few years ago which has a slightly different arrangement to the final version (which is fantastic)

Only took 6+ years to finish that one lol.

Get tickets for this before they're gone, have a weird premonition about something coming out that day. https://t.co/eDMFYzK1kO

Keep on Mixing
Alien FM
Koh-I-Noor
Buy to Return
Tops and Bottoms
Deseo
Taste in Movies
Jaipur
Set Me Free

Tops and Bottoms is the new single (probably won't work until it's Friday where you are). it doesn't blow me away like the other singles so far but it's still good. i'm also surprised that Power of Two and Echo Arms aren't on the album?

ufo, Friday, 5 October 2018 00:53 (five years ago) link

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

joshywinty (josh), Friday, 5 October 2018 01:08 (five years ago) link

They must have a lot of faith in these songs to not include Echo Arms

boxedjoy, Friday, 5 October 2018 08:30 (five years ago) link

it seems like their drummer, Bryan Ujueta, is no longer in the band

ufo, Friday, 5 October 2018 12:31 (five years ago) link

"Tops And Bottoms" is not about what I thought it would be based on the title

wish that one went on forever

ufo, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 14:12 (five years ago) link

in the house of yes reminds me a lot of saint etienne (in a good way)

Ross, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 15:48 (five years ago) link

it's not like the last album wasn't incredibly great but this new material collectively seems like another huge leap forward, I don't think I've anticipated an album this much since Shaking The Habitual

boxedjoy, Friday, 19 October 2018 14:42 (five years ago) link

'Tops and Bottoms' is magic. Knowing the lyrics really opened it up for me. Consumerism, anxiety, the male gaze, superficiality, ego, etc...addressed with serious economy.
Or, I could be reading too much into it. heh

Either way, what a special vocalist/lyricist. Something that I'm liking more about these singles than the last album is how up front and idiosyncratic the vocal performances
are again.

Also, saw the first show of the tour last Thursday. If you can, go. Didn't realize how much I'd missed em!

Salt playing over at https://radio.mrtwinsister.com/

https://mrtwinsister.bandcamp.com/

the album is out on their bandcamp too now

ufo, Thursday, 25 October 2018 03:36 (five years ago) link

so this is pretty great?

princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 October 2018 04:10 (five years ago) link

the whole album is excellent but i'm completely blown away by Keep on Mixing and Taste in Movies

also love the new background vocals added to Jaipur

ufo, Thursday, 25 October 2018 04:26 (five years ago) link

i do wish they'd included power of two and echo arms, the balance would feel a bit better with uptempo tracks like those in there

ufo, Thursday, 25 October 2018 05:40 (five years ago) link

"Keep on Mixing" throwing off a Truesteppers/2-step vibe at times.

mr.raffles, Thursday, 25 October 2018 12:29 (five years ago) link

"buy to return" is amazing

princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 October 2018 12:34 (five years ago) link

im so happy

stoked for this .... havent heard yet

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Thursday, 25 October 2018 17:58 (five years ago) link

Feel like they are the best band in the world today

boxedjoy, Friday, 26 October 2018 07:37 (five years ago) link

they are

princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 26 October 2018 14:10 (five years ago) link

definitely seemed that way at the release show last night

fred-a van vleet (voodoo chili), Friday, 26 October 2018 14:28 (five years ago) link

echo arms was so good, they really couldn't have made room for that on the record?

fred-a van vleet (voodoo chili), Friday, 26 October 2018 14:28 (five years ago) link

I’ve just added it to my edit

||||||||, Friday, 26 October 2018 14:29 (five years ago) link

i've put Power of Two and Echo Arms in between Alien FM and Koh-I-Noor and it takes the album from a 9 to a 10

ufo, Friday, 26 October 2018 14:34 (five years ago) link

I also wish that they had done an extended Echo Arms instead of Power Of Two, although both feel like some lost Paradise Garage classic

boxedjoy, Friday, 26 October 2018 14:37 (five years ago) link

idk the album is perfectly wonderful without them, i’m fine with 1 awesome album and 1 awesome double-sided single

princess of hell (BradNelson), Friday, 26 October 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link

yeah i understand why they left it off, but i already regret not buying that echo arms/power of two single at the merch table.

fred-a van vleet (voodoo chili), Friday, 26 October 2018 14:44 (five years ago) link

it just adds a little more of their dance side to it and sort of balances it out a bit better, the album feels a lot slower without them. it's great as it is but i definitely prefer my edit

ufo, Friday, 26 October 2018 14:47 (five years ago) link

i want a whole album of the sophisti-2-step of Keep on Mixing
