i like that cover art, though i'll always enjoy the life of pause one for looking to me like he's sitting inside a set from a Myst game

Yeah, I like that cover art too... would have made a great vinyl sleeve circa 1983-1984.

xp according to photo on the Bandcamp page, the shape on the front is a transparent window.

Every time I listen to the Empty Estate EP, I find myself wishing he'd expanded that to a full length.

It is a full length what the hell are you talking about

When the mid 80s were over, I really missed the guitar sound in "Partners in Motion" (and in places on the Tornado Wallace album from last year) and I'm overjoyed it's finally okay to make a guitar sound like that again
This is probably why I am really feeling this new album

It's an EP, not an LP - I would have thought that was apparent.

Sounds like the new one is going to be right up my street!

really enjoying this so far. it feels like he took lessons from Life Of Pause (which i wasn't super into and he, from interviews, doesn't sound like he quite was either) and just applies those sophistipop tendencies to his usual soundscapey popcraft.

Haven’t checked the new album yet, but he did a list of album influences on Vulture that makes me think he may lurk here

The new one is basically Nocturne II, but the songwriting isn't anywhere near as consistent in terms of quality and while the production on Nocturne helped his vocals to blend in with the music unobtrusively, here I can't take my mind off the fact that Tatum is a weak singer.

this one hasn't clicked with me yet, I ended up loving the last one after multiple listens though

it took a while but 'wheel of misfortune' grew into my fav from this one. that main riff is sublime

nice little EP out called "laughing gas"

i like the new one. no prefab sprout-isms like the last one but there's some great stuff on here. last track is probably my favorite
