Considering the lengths of some of the other albums I've been listening to in 2020, it may be 6 LPs of sidelong epics.

Haha, but apparently this is a single LP only, thought it's a song suite it sounds like.

the cover vaguely reminds me of this one h.c. westermann print

This new one is so good. The first half is surprisingly darker than what I'd expect. Not like they've gone goth or anything, just more of an edge than I'd expect from them, but it works. The guitar playing is just so great.

yeah i think i need some physical copies of things, sound pretty good

This is continuing to grow on me, love the instrumental interludes that tie together the suite on the second side. “A Reckoning” is fast becoming a favorite, got a real nice Fairport Convention vibe and love the two guitar acoustic intro.

Aquarium Drunkard EOY list brought me here. Good stuff!
― o. nate, Thursday, 17 December 2020 16:31 (three years ago) link
New one is so good and varied.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 17 December 2020 16:37 (three years ago) link
Definitely. Closest analogy I can think of is Dungen 4, another great and varied album.

We don't have a dedicated thread for their label, Beyond Beyond is Beyond, and I'm not sure it's worth a whole new thread... but RIP BBiB:
After 8 bonkers years, I’m leaving ye olde record label, Beyond Beyond is Beyond, behind in 2021. It’s been a dream to work with all the amazing artists we’ve released records with. ✌️♥️ 🎶— mikenoomin (@mikenoomin) February 23, 2021
Really bums me out, they'd been a roll lately with Garcia Peoples of course, but also Tengger, Elkhorn, Kendra Amalie, Matt Valentine and De Lorians, to name a few.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 15:20 (three years ago) link
Oh man, I misread this yesterday as a guy leaving the label, not ending the label. This is a bummer! Tengger is my faaaaave...
― alpine static, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 16:00 (three years ago) link
Yeah, that's what I was hoping it was, but reading through the replies it looks like the label is done, sadly. I guess it makes sense, considering they hadn't announced any forthcoming releases since the last Garcia Peoples record came out last October.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 16:03 (three years ago) link
Yeah I noticed after a busy couple years, things seemed to have quieted down quite a bit. Oh well ... it was a good run, and that label in particular did a lot for the indie/psych/jam resurgence.

Dodging Dues, new album due out in January, produced by Matt Sweeney and released by No Quarter since BBiB closed shop.

Good news.

Three preview tracks up at bandcamp are excellent, I'm stoked.

They are playing in Chicago next weekend (they were actually the last show I saw before the pandemic kicked off) but with an unvaxxed kid at home I'm not ready for an indoor show quite yet. Hopefully they hit the area again on a tour after this comes out.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 6 October 2021 14:04 (two years ago) link
New one is very very good, tighter and more concise than the stage show, but they still manage to pack so much into every song.
― a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 24 January 2022 15:49 (two years ago) link
Very nice. Starting the year off right.

Rather than starting a new thread for an album that maybe only three people will care about, I'm going to bump this to say that fans of Garcia Peoples will probably very much dig the debut full-length from Color Green. The closer, "Blizzed Out" is really great and hits a similar vibe for me. Liking this a lot.

This is out Friday, but my copy came yesterday. It's really good.

Great sound and a blistering live performance of a good chunk of "Dodging Dues":

love these dudes. danny's new record is really good too.

finally checking these guys out. just wow.

The Arakaki solo record is fantastic — just a really great rock record.
― tylerw, Sunday, 5 February 2023 00:36 (one year ago) link
Missed this revive, but yeah that's a great performance. Loving the new Arakaki album and still bummed I had to miss the GP/Forsyth tour due to life stuff.
Also been really getting into Taper's Choice lately, on that "indie-jam" tip.

They really were not good live when I saw them recently which was a bummer because I was expecting great things. Part of it was the sound at the venue (bad) and part of it could have been my general mood that day (not great) but they didn’t really seem all that into it either and the vocals can be a little rough.
― zacata, Wednesday, 26 April 2023 19:27 (one year ago) link
i saw them about a month ago and didn't come away super impressed tbh. they are a band i should like on paper.

'vocals are rough' comes with the dead/any dead adjacent act, something i'm willing to overlook if the jams are good, which,
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 27 April 2023 01:20 (one year ago) link
if they weren't called 'garcia peoples' i might like them. maybe
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 27 April 2023 01:22 (one year ago) link
I also saw them a few months ago & wasn't particularly impressed after having previously dug a couple sets of theirs on the archive. Just figured that my expectations were too high, but maybe they've fallen off a bit as of late.
― BrianB, Thursday, 27 April 2023 01:47 (one year ago) link
I haven't caught them on the recent tour, bummed to hear they haven't been great. The two times I saw them pre-pandemic were absolutely killer. I've caught a couple tapes of other shows from 2021 and 2022 that were good, but not much has been circulating yet from the most recent tour.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 27 April 2023 15:23 (one year ago) link
Can’t decide whether I love or hate this band name. I go back and forth.
― tobo73, Thursday, 27 April 2023 16:00 (one year ago) link
they did suffer a bit from following Chris Forsyth, his band has Doug McCombs from Tortoise and Ryan Jewell as the rhythm section and they give him a really strong almost krauty vibe, Forsyth can verge on guitar mag stuff at times for me, but he's a much better soloist than anyone in Garcia Peoples (at least that night)
