xp God, that sounded pompous! That murky, transgressive scene from the early 00s seems a world away.

Not feeling the new Hauschildt - sounds like Synkro from about 5 years ago. ‘Ketracel” off Stands is an utter masterpiece, though.

They're reuniting to play Primavera Sound next year! Hopefully more shows to follow...
After a decade in the aether, Emeralds are back to perform live @Primavera_Sound in June 2023. Thanks to all the believers out there 💚 pic.twitter.com/frhFtpLHAS— John Elliott (@MineralDisk) November 29, 2022

ahhh great news! i don't think any other band has been able to capture the synced-by-ear swirl of sequencers and delays quite like they did. bitchin bajas comes pretty close, but different vibe

"Just To Feel Anything" didn't grab me at all but still
Just to Feel Anything made my top ten that year. Here's hoping there's a tour. Mark McGuire's solo albums on Editions Mego and Dead Oceans have all been pretty good listens.

I really liked the Outer Space album and a couple of those Mist records, as far as solo projects go

I liked Steve Hauschildt's run of solo albums from about 2009 to 2018 too, realized I missed one in 2019.
Hoping this leads to more shows and maybe some new studio material.

Listening to the bonus tracks. Goodly stuff. The long version of Genetic is quite a thing.

It *goes*.
I was intrigued by the Pitchfork review of the re-release. I liked the piece just found the idea that the band wanted to 'determined to melt behind their instruments' kinda funny. My signature memory of seeing them live was of John Elliott punching the air and roaring with glee from behind his keyboards.

I saw them open for Throbbing Gristle in Chicago, 2009, but I don't remember much other than "surprisingly good", I had not heard the records at the time but started picking them up afterwards, "What Happened" was my gateway

*Allegory of Allergies* was the first thing I heard, which I think I yoinked from what.cd (RIP). I saw them live at an ATP event and thought they were great.

Allegory is prob still my favorite, there is a newer Bandcamp version that restores most of the cassette material missing from the 2LP, but (frustratingly) not quite all of it

Oh! Didn't know about that - will have to go and investigate.

extended versions! so good

it was originally a 120-minute tape

I think I have the whole thing buried on a hard drive somewhere but will go the Bandcamp route for sure.

Read somewhere that they are prepping a reunion, which !!!
