Feel like stephen makmus would be down for a kick around, maybe if he happens to be in a park on a crisp autumn day and others are playing

Weezer are more closely identified w/soccer... maybe Parquet Courts are the new Weezer!https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2008/jun/29/popandrockhttps://consequenceofsound.net/2010/06/weezer-releases-unofficial-u-s-soccer-song-represent/amp/

malkmus is def a jock but he’s way more into basketball as I understand
still like the new one a lot, but if the ones i’ve heard, “light up gold” is still their best to my ears

Hopefully the rest of the album can make up for it.
This band sadly is becoming less and less my thing as time goes by.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 20 August 2021 12:11 (two years ago) link
Yeah, Wide Awake was the first single from the last album (shitty song, good album) , so there's hope.
― nostormo, Friday, 20 August 2021 12:35 (two years ago) link
That's my take on it, yes. The track is alright, Joe Strummer fronting The Fall, a bit.
― Mark G, Friday, 20 August 2021 13:36 (two years ago) link
Weird how, in my estimation at least, funky post-punk is pretty easy to make sound cool. Plenty of bands do it. I'm in a band that does it. But they somehow make it seem so corny. Both Wide Awake and this. They have the straight-ahead wiry punk formula down so well. They excel at it. But when they try this type of thing it's somehow so awkward.
They premiered some other track a couple months ago that was pretty exciting I thought. More like Can or something, blurry and low key with lots of delayed-out organ, but I only heard it once a couple months ago I don't remember much about it. I was stoked on the new direction. This new one is yuck.

I'm on the fence about the vocal, but I dig the video.

I like this new album and I like Black Widow Spiders. Album vacillates between more traditional rock numbers and downtempo Remain In Light funk

Among other things, Byrne had interesting commentary on modern life... Savage's lyrics at this point are like grumbly tweets by a guy you keep meaning to mute.
― juristic person (morrisp), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 16:23 (two years ago) link
Agree that the lyrics aren't up to much, but I kind of dig them turning a little jammy.

"Black Widow Spiders" has quickly grown on me, and the other singles (or the ones with videos) are pretty great too. Will have to pick this up. I love this band and Wide Awake! was my AOTY but for some reason I've been wary about this one rather than looking forward to it.
― birdistheword, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 16:38 (two years ago) link
I don’t love it but very much prefer it to Wide Awake!.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 16:41 (two years ago) link
I love Byrne and Talking Heads but most of his lyrics were strung-together phrases that sounded good coming out his mouth, especially on RIL. I really like the lyrics on BWS.

As a fan of pre-Human Performance PQ (though that record has moments), it will surprise no one that I’m a little obsessed with “Homo Sapien”.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 17:07 (two years ago) link
Yeah, that was one of the videos - great track. Light Up Gold, Sunbathing Animal, Human Performance and Wide Awake! all made my year-end top ten lists pretty easily. They're kind of like Spoon in the sense that I always liked them, but after releasing four great albums in quick succession, HOW much I liked them really snuck up on me, as if I underrated them and suddenly realized they had been my favorite band of the past decade.
― birdistheword, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 18:43 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I'm enjoying the whole thing, but "Homo Sapien" does make a really nice and well appreciated diversion back to the LUG era. I dig it.
