I also agree with the above comments about this reminds a lot of Life Without Buildings but not enough to be a carbon copy. This band and especially this album are similar to LWB but scratch a different itch.

Coming here in January on the world tour - I bailed on Stereolab and Boy Harsher this summer because I wasn't comfortable in a big crowd yet but maybe I'll be braver in a couple of months.

Yeah DC payed a show in April in Baltimore and I just wasn’t ready yet to be in a rock club situation, but January should be okay even if I’m the only person masking.

i enjoyed them last night in Syd - they're such an interesting live proposition! the lack of regular rock show dynamics took a bit of getting used to (obv not a surprise knowing their sound, but it was still striking in a performance setting) - it felt like the set started pretty sedate and got more vigorous - definitely glad I went, although perhaps didn't provide any revelations beyond the records

well they were lovely sounding live, but the laconic anti-charisma thing was more than a bit stifling after a half an hour of standing in place and playing. sunn o))) had a more active stage presence. So did The Archies.

they're certainly trying! the recreations of the songs are very much there and accurate! But there's no funny business, it's all serious business.

Yeah there’s not a lot of stürm und drang in the sprechtgesangI was lucky enough to stand near the abstract spot that Flo stares at to achieve dramatic distance, so it was oddly engaging.
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 3 February 2023 09:42 (one year ago) link
It's interesting how they then contrast that with surprisingly giggly interviews/in-studio sessions!
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 3 February 2023 09:57 (one year ago) link
I am totally nicking "sturm und drang und sprechgesang" as old-mind scan-a-like substitute for "sex and drugs and rock'n'roll". Thanks matttkkkk, I promise I'll try to give credit.

Florence did have a funny little speech about how she thought the White House had a dome before they visited.

Live, it was very pleasurable to hear the band play loud, after being somewhat buried in the mix on the current album. They sound great!
― Alicia Silver Stone (Boring, Maryland), Friday, 3 February 2023 13:44 (one year ago) link
― imago,
otm -- she does mug, though! When I saw them at Pitchfork last summer, Shaw widened her eyes, looked histrionically left to right, etc.

The guitarist moved a lot at the Minneapolis show and made power rock fists at the audience after songs when people applauded his playing. Shaw made a comment about being unprofessional for an encore, bringing out a music stand with an iPad to read a lyric from, and seemed rather bashful when an audience member commented on her beautiful hair. Two audience members, one earnestly and the other repeating with not-quite irony, said "you guys are really good" at different points in the show. Just before departing the stage, Shaw went back to the mic and said "see you next time," as if some special bond had been achieved. A good time was had by all! (Actually I never saw the bassist or drummer smile, but maybe they just don't.)

They were great in Austin last week, she was very animated during the show! We thought the opening guy Nourished by Time was pretty amazing, I'd definitely go see him again.

It’s a weird premise for a show, but I like it
Liberty Log is some world-class tension and release, many many post-rock bands should listen and learn

it seems that hey aren't only ripping off the fall sound but also the lyrical content. i don't see any especial abour dc, one more from that current post punk lot
on the vocals, the main problem i find isn't that half spoken style but how mediocre her technique is in comparison with mes, lou reed or captain beefheart

Doesn't matter if they sound like them or not, the poster in question compares everything to the Fall and finds everything wanting.
