gig was incredible, tho i am deaf in one ear now. was funny to see Kevin Kharas queuing up at the bar for a beer just before they came on. And the girl who sings on Nicotine Patch spent the show dancing just next to us. Intimate no frills show, proper rave atmosphere

ty boxedjoy and tim f for helping me codify my thoughts about this band. deeply uncool as very cool is a funny and interesting take, somehow extremely accurate in my brainspace.

really guilty lol at this

also over the weekend I had the lads round - as in, the friends I have who are proper lads - and we put this on at the tail end of the night's shenanigans and it seemed to really strike even more of a chord in that context. This feels like such a classic already.

they can be boxed too easily as "West End Girls" as produced by Underworld (or some variant or equivalent) - not so much "I don't get it" as "I get it too easily and there's nothing more there to get, to grapple with". I doubt many if any people find them either perplexing or hateful, but I could imagine a lot of shrugged shoulders and "why should I care?"― Tim F, Friday, April 29, 2022 5:56 AM (two months ago) bookmarkflaglink
The thing is that Underworld-produced romantic synthpop, is a fantastic proposal. The pinch of French House, strong British accent, touches of sophistic-pop may all offer their soft belly for cruel spears, but you know, kill them with kindness. In today's set-up, quick dismissals are their own true collateral. Anyway, I'm late to the party, but add one voice behind this innocent and charming album.
― Nabozo, Saturday, 2 July 2022 19:33 (one year ago) link
Still rinsing the absolute fuck out of this album. Honestly can't remember the last time an album struck such a chord with me as this one has. They've been teasing new music soon too on Instagram so looking forward to that.
― groovypanda, Sunday, 3 July 2022 16:25 (one year ago) link

feels like it was designed in a lab to appeal to my exact tastes
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 31 July 2022 11:30 (one year ago) link
Yeah, it's a great remix. Original might be my song of the year so far. Every single time Kev gets to the "all my friends with the same crest upon their chest" line I levitate. He sounds...completely ecstatic?
Real Lies: a band so good I bought the scarf.

yeah, one of patrice's best productions yet i think, and that video is perfect too, a rattling journey full-tilt into the darkness. bummer it wasnt on the album tbh
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 21:22 (one year ago) link
am i alone in hearing echoes of 'no good' in it?
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 21:26 (one year ago) link
No, albeit that “echoes of ‘no good’” could describe a decent chunk of dance music from the last few years.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 21:36 (one year ago) link
haha true

Yeah they posted this on IG:One of two songs from the world of that record that we want to put out before we put it to bed and move on with our lives.Then finished it off with it's also a fucking banger.❤️🔥

That's definitely something you should say on every night of the tour.Gig was a blast tho - my first since covid too to echo or something up thread. Funny to see Patrice come out first to a reverb-drenched edit of Roy Orbison's 'You Got It' of all things while throwing OTT DJ poses. It went properly OFF for Since I, North Circular (segue from Lonely Ones into this was glorious) and the final trifecta (Dream On, Boss Trick, YGH). The threadbare setup is probably part of the charm really altho I always want background visuals to support this kind of music. Would've been fun to hear a few more of the older tracks too but can't fault 'em really. I see the sets from earlier this year did not seem to include 'An Oral History...' so thrilled that made it in towards the end.
― nashwan, Friday, 7 October 2022 09:44 (one year ago) link
really did want to go to that but i'm broke, but super glad it was good!
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Friday, 7 October 2022 21:06 (one year ago) link
So happy to finally get this on vinyl a full three months earlier than the predicted release date. Sounds and looks beautiful and so cool to have the bonus tracks on there.
― kitchen person, Saturday, 5 November 2022 16:03 (one year ago) link
Nice. Seeing them live in a couple of weeks and cannot wait

surprised no one has mentioned Disco Inferno in reference to these guys
Bit late to the party and only heard them in the track rundown… this was my first thought too.

1-800 GIRLS remix of Boss Trick out today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twxnayLwVIg
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 28 February 2023 15:15 (one year ago) link
I don't think anyone has mentioned their debut album in this thread... I really like it! It feels like they're still figuring out their sound, so you get some interesting elements like baggy and house groove that aren't present on their recent work. More songy overall and comes across pretty similar to what New Order did on Republic, blending 90s dance with guitars and synth-pop. And then you still get the beautiful "North Circular", closest to the direction they headed into later, which has a cool use of a Boards of Canada sample
― Vinnie, Saturday, 6 May 2023 04:07 (one year ago) link
oh their debut is stunning, “world peace” might be my favorite song of theirs
― brimstead, Saturday, 6 May 2023 16:10 (one year ago) link
...which is obviously built round a sample from Jean-Luc Ponty's 'Computer Incantations For World Peace'. and then they namecheck JLP in 'Boss Trick' iirc
― rincton monkspoon (NickB), Saturday, 6 May 2023 16:57 (one year ago) link
i really love 'Naked Ambition' off the debut, kind of an underrated track but that has everything i love about RL in it
― rincton monkspoon (NickB), Saturday, 6 May 2023 17:02 (one year ago) link
yeah the JLP sample is sweet but the chorus is insanely sweet
― brimstead, Saturday, 6 May 2023 17:33 (one year ago) link
Yeah "World Peace" is the track that reminded me most of New Order. Certainly as good as anything else RL has done
― Vinnie, Saturday, 6 May 2023 23:07 (one year ago) link
The 1-800 Girls remix of “Boss Trick” is fucking chef’s kiss, lemme tell you

Just stumbled on this by chance. Not sure I'd have recognised it as a Television Personalities cover if I'd not seen the title first!
