Because you pied me off

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

i think matty mentioned dilla by name when talking about the drums on this song on twitter recently

the writer calling the album "snowflake computer" is the worst thing that's ever happened to me but this is a really good interview https://www.nme.com/nme-big-read-1975-2018-2382050-2

my fav photos of them from this round of press by a long shot

how are we feeling about the Pale Waves album?

boxedjoy, Saturday, 22 September 2018 13:37 (five years ago) link

two weeks pass...

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

ufo, Saturday, 13 October 2018 05:00 (five years ago) link

"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

ufo, Monday, 15 October 2018 01:52 (five years ago) link

yeah shit bangs

that video hit me hard

princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 07:26 (five years ago) link

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

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

Good Christ they only went ahead and created the best mid-80s pop track ever here.

k3vin k., Thursday, 18 October 2018 20:21 (five years ago) link

This band is unstoppable

the greatest band in the world

COLLAPSE MY VEINS WEARING BEAUTIFUL SHOES

princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 October 2018 21:38 (five years ago) link

lol if this is basically the "this must be my dream" of this album it's going to be the best album ever.

Tim F, Thursday, 18 October 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link

was gonna say, "Oh, it's another 'This Must Be My Dream.'"

i like this better... the last minute of this is ridic

J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 October 2018 23:23 (five years ago) link

how does this band keep getting better at what they do and make it sound so effortless

ufo, Friday, 19 October 2018 00:03 (five years ago) link

its really absurd how good they are

k3vin k., Friday, 19 October 2018 00:39 (five years ago) link

Another great song. Chorus reminds me of "Love Will Never Do Without You"

Vinnie, Friday, 19 October 2018 01:19 (five years ago) link

this is so fun

nxd, Friday, 19 October 2018 08:28 (five years ago) link

when is the album out again?

alpine static, Friday, 19 October 2018 15:29 (five years ago) link

november something?

k3vin k., Friday, 19 October 2018 16:57 (five years ago) link

11/30

alpine static, Friday, 19 October 2018 17:54 (five years ago) link

melody is similar to 'heaven is a place on earth'

this is the heroin song i guess

Vapor waif (uptown churl), Friday, 19 October 2018 18:09 (five years ago) link

Speaking as someone who's been clean for 11 years as of this month, "Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes" is one of the most poignant lines about heroin addition that I've ever heard in song. That line would be notable on a solemn, sad, druggy album by a band like Spiritualized, for example. But dropping it into the chorus of such an incredibly hooky '80s pop/rock song feels like a stroke of genius.

this band is just too much for me to handle.

Nourry, Friday, 19 October 2018 22:10 (five years ago) link

welcome back stephen

k3vin k., Friday, 19 October 2018 23:36 (five years ago) link

i can't get over the fact that the singer in this band is the son of a "loose women" woman (also the winner of a celebirty big brother) and the guy from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
