I really love "Evergreen". Seems like a one-off done for some Adult Swim compilation? I don't know much about this band. I liked their last album alright, but never went back. Now I'm re-listening to that as well as sifting through their back catalog.

Hey, I missed that one, thanks for the tip! Adored their last album, nice to hear they're still moving in the same direction.

Just read in a Washington Post review of Bon Iver live, that Jenn Wasner is part of the five-piece band backing Justin Vernon/ Bon Iver on this tour

"In addition to releasing new material, the group is mounting their most ambitious tour yet. Called JOIN, the tour will feature a newly expanded live band performing not only Wye Oak’s music but songs from Stack and Wasner’s respective solo projects, Joyero and Flock of Dimes, and beyond. These performances will include new music, re-imaginings of songs from deep in their catalog, and hidden gems spanning their parallel creative work."
new song is wonderful:

20 minute No Horizon EP out, a collaboration with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. First track "AEIOU" is gorgeous. Reminds me a little of Beach House with those drums and guitars.

Yeah this is lovely - though the use of a children’s choir throughout reminds me oddly of Verspertine.

new flock of dimes record seems like it's gonna be fucking amazing based on the singles

this album is outrageously great

album of the year for me so far, feels like it might end up my favorite overall Wasner thing that isn't Shriek

Love the bits of this flirts with country. I can almost imagine an Emmylou Harris harmony on "Awake for the Sunrise."
― Indexed, Thursday, 8 April 2021 19:44 (two years ago) link
this album is really good
what is with the rhythm on "two" though? is it in 15/16 or something?
― ufo, Monday, 12 April 2021 08:06 (two years ago) link
it's so close to being 4/4 but just slightly off-kilter that it's a really strange listen. i can't actually think of any other songs that do the same thing

good lord is this excellent. very much in the vein of the last wye oak album which i also absolutely loved.

i think it is in 4/4 but syncopated so the downbeat hits a little before the 4 beat. could be wrong. the chorus is absolutely in 4/4, tho.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 16:32 (two years ago) link
i considered that possibility but it never quite seemed to line up when i counted and she said in an interview it's in a 'weird time signature' which makes me more convinced it's not just a syncopated 4/4
a friend says they think it's in 7/8 but that never quite seemed to line up either for me either, seemed to be between that and 4/4 which is how i got to 15/16. maybe the syncopation just threw me off and i counted wrong though
i am probably going to try transcribing it sometime to be sure because this has been bugging me all week lol
― ufo, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 21:46 (two years ago) link
this article thinks it's in 7/4: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/thesampler/audio/2018790776/the-sampler-pixie-williams-voom-flock-of-dimes
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 22:47 (two years ago) link
feels like it could be, i think i was assuming a lower bpm.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 22:51 (two years ago) link
Sounds like 7/8 to me
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 23:03 (two years ago) link
I also hear it as 7/8 (4+3) all the way through on a quick listen
― Sequel to Sadness (Sund4r), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 04:16 (two years ago) link
I think that although the first snare hit always seems to land on the 3, sometimes (in strong bars?) maybe the second snare hit is a little early and lands between 6 and 7, while sometimes it's right on the 7, but I think there's always a bar of 7?

ooh, new Flock of Dimes comp gonna have a "Weakness in Me" cover. not to mention an "Amelia" one. and the new songs released so far are great.
― sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Thursday, 24 March 2022 21:18 (two years ago) link
some of the solo versions on the flock of dimes comp are just astoundingly gorgeous. especially a fan of this one:

I saw Jenn as Flock of Dimes opening for Sylvan Esso several years back and was really impressed. Kind of lost touch with her/them. The comments here about last year's album are very encouraging.

have heard absolutely zero chatter about the new album that they apparently released today
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Friday, 23 June 2023 18:27 (nine months ago) link
Don't think it's an album but a collection of singles they've released in the last few years with a few new songs
― Indexed, Friday, 23 June 2023 18:32 (nine months ago) link
ah ok, that makes more sense
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Friday, 23 June 2023 18:33 (nine months ago) link
And those singles were pretty damn good!
