at this point it's a case of wondering whether I will love or really love each new single they put out, what a faultless run they're on

Feel like a lot of the new singles this year are throwbacks to the sound of their first album - which makes me really happy!

revisiting "Occupied" today
We all wish there was a hell for some peopleSome kind of retributionYou want him freed from his arms and legs, cashAnd crown and frownBut as you know that's not the way it goesWhen was it ever? No'Cause wicked people thriveWhile the likes of you go downDown, down, downDown, down, down

Simon, were you going to go see them at the Mod Club last year? I had a ticket, still bummed :(

I was not! But if they ever come back I will definitely make an attempt.

Aren’t we supposed to have a new album around now? Did COVID derail their 2020 plans?
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link
I would be happy with them just continuing to release an amazing single every few months

they were aiming to have released enough singles last year to compile on an album by the end of the year, yeah, but i would assume covid derailed that
the few they did put out were fantastic though so hopefully we get more before too long

I'm smashing that LP preorder if/when that happens.

(relatedly: I wish the 2xLP of Passive Aggressive was affordable anywhere)

I recently discovered the EP compilation, "I Don't Need Love, I've Got My Band". I guess this slots in before "Pet Grief" on their timeline. Great stuff with great sound.

yeah I was curious about that one
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:34 (three years ago) link
I think I like it better than "Pet Grief" actually. Probably my second favorite of their releases after "Clinging to a Scheme".

This comp? OK noted! How about vs. Passive Aggressive Singles comp?
You can tell this is a cult band when you look at the vinyl prices on discogs by the way...
― Evan, Thursday, 4 February 2021 21:44 (three years ago) link
I haven't heard that one, so can't compare.
― o. nate, Thursday, 4 February 2021 22:00 (three years ago) link
I Don't Need Love... is a combo of two EPS, "Pulling Our Weight" and "This Past Week". Some of those songs but not all were on the Passive Aggressive comp.
