I get why people are referencing "if I believe you" but this has a totally different feel for me, it's much more live-sessiony in a way that stands in contrast to IIBY's studio perfection, more jazzy, I fuck with it tho. that said I'm surprised it's made such an immediate impression on a couple of true heads itt, seems like more of a slow burner

I almost wish this band would make a bad song so they'd be more relatable or something
on spotify now btw
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 September 2018 21:35 (five years ago) link
do they have any songs that are 'bad'? I can't think of any I totally dislike
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 September 2018 21:36 (five years ago) link
only songs i didn't at least like on contact were "loving someone" and "she way out" and turns out they're both good

some of the EP songs aren't their best maybe but basically no

i have 0 problem with them doing more songs like If I Believe You and showing they can be a fantastic r&b band if they really want to be anytime, and the brass arrangement is even better here. not as funny as If I Believe You but what else is?

at the risk of turricanism, how is this band not named the 1985
― mookieproof, Friday, 14 September 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link
I would have been into this band probably a year earlier if they were called the 1985 though now I kind of like their name
New song has a great vibe, though the hook didn't get me the first listen. Suspect this is one that will grow on me
― Vinnie, Friday, 14 September 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link
I really liked "Sex" when it came out, but since then, I haven't found any reason to be interested in these guys, so I'm kind of surprised to find myself loving "TooTimeTooTimeTooTime" so much, annoying title aside. My latest favourite entry in whatever we want to call the genre that also (to my ears) encompasses Chvrches, MUNA, Kristen Control and things like that. And yeah, the video is a delight, too.

i cant believe no one mentioned DILLA thats what it sounds like more than dangelo (obviously some overlap there but)
the staggered groove is a total

― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:32 (five years ago) link
yeah, questlove's drumming on Voodoo was all dilla-inspired, so they're both apt comparisons. The horns on it are very D'Angelo, too, so I think that's where a lot of the comparison comes from
i'm also proud to say that i didn't get Sincerity is Scary at all when i first heard it but now i absolutely love it
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:43 (five years ago) link
the horns are very roy hargrove who was used on a number of soulquarian projects helmed by dilla, Common's 'Like Water For Chocolate" is actually what came to mind for me first

how are we feeling about the Pale Waves album?
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 22 September 2018 13:37 (five years ago) link
i was not really sold on most of the pale waves singles but the album is pretty solid. they have a tendency to write the same sort of hooks over and over again though, album could have been trimmed a bit.
― ufo, Monday, 8 October 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link
that's basically how I felt about it - it's too long and there's two songs that share the exact same melody - but I still have a tremendous amount of goodwill towards them

Matty continues to describe Notes as their 'UK nighttime album' influenced by Burial so i'm even more excited for that than i am for A Brief Enquiry

"narcissist" is kind of amazing
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 October 2018 01:47 (five years ago) link
i'd imagine matty is very jealous he didn't write this song (assuming he didn't)
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 October 2018 01:48 (five years ago) link
he co-wrote and co-produced it

next single is It's Not Living If It's Not With You out this thursday
i really haven't minded the drip feed approach they've taken this time, new songs monthly for a year straight (with an album half-way and another at the end) is pretty great
― ufo, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 12:02 (five years ago) link
Do you think they'll add more dates to that tour or have another leg? I'm bummed they're not playing Calgary this time (they've played here for their past two albums) and strongly considering travelling to see them considering I haven't traveled in years
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
if their goal with that has been to build anticipation, they've certainly got me hooked. They've released four great tracks so far, if this new one is as great as the others it could have AOTY potential
