I like this live download thing more than Person Pitch. More beats!
― mizzell, Thursday, 7 June 2007 01:37 (sixteen years ago) link
what live download thing? (this is my album of the year so far btw)
― braveclub, Thursday, 7 June 2007 16:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Paw Tracks is selling a live show from 2004 on itunes. it's got a couple of the songs from PP and two other ones. It's shorter than the album.

I had a spell of loving this...then not listening to ages. I waited to get the vinyl and finally scored it last week...it's blowing me away more than it ever did.
I suffer from sleep difficulties, I average 4ish hours per night...when I go into work at 9am with the first three tracks off Person Pitch on my headphones, I feel like I could wrestle an elephant and win.

does the vinyl sound as trebly/tinny as the cd? or is that his "aesthetic?" the Jane <i>Berserker</i> cd sounds the same way. i was thinking of buying the vinyl...
― nerve_pylon, Thursday, 5 July 2007 02:43 (sixteen years ago) link
er, i mean Berserker

where can one find the vinyl?

i find track 3 on the "people ep" to be weirdly melancholy, even if it does sound like a chorus of deaf horses.

I agree with everything Ned says on this thread.

I agree with Ned aussi.

but I can't shake the notion that in the end, it's little more than the musical equivalent of a magic-eye picture

This is an ambient record. Or, that's how I treat it.
― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 10:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Mainly because of the sonics.

^i try to do this but then he sings. this is why "i'm not" kills every other song on the record.

this is why i'm not

I'm surprised that this would be PF's number one. I really like it but always saw it as a low-profile distraction, whereas these lists seem to usually go for the big statements.

is this a criticism? cuz anything that can manage to be the musical equivalent of a magic-eye picture is, putting aside whether it is enjoyable or good or whatever, at least interesting.
― artdamages, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 21:57 (sixteen years ago) link
think this is more interesting than a stereogram but agree that it's an ambient album and that 'i'm not' is probably the highlight but could do with some strings
― blueski, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost I don't think magic eye pictures deserve acclaim. I think they are shticky and just because you can cross your eyes to see the picture doesn't mean that that picture is a work of art. Goodie, you can decipher the Panda Bear album. But that doesn't make it any good.
― Mordechai Shinefield, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link
i don't know, i think this album is fucking great. i hardly think it relies on any "shticky" gimmicks, rather, it's a pretty sonically adventurous album that has a ton of layers that reveal themselves pretty generously with each play. as a lot of its positive reviews have already stated (better than i can), it does a fucking excellent job of synthesizing some really great pop melodies with a lot of sonic experimentation (more than you'll find in most of this year's acclaimed indie records) and pretty brilliantly juxtaposes a ton of interesting influences - dub, psychedelia, 60s pop, ambient music, electronic music, etc. i don't want to sound like press release here and i also don't want to just say "good influences = good music", but this album is pretty fucking cool and i'm very happy it's getting all the acclaim it is.
― Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 23:52 (sixteen years ago) link
magic eye posters look all squiggly and nondescript at first glance. it is only through concentration and crossing your eyes that something emerges.
― artdamages, Tuesday, 18 December 2007 23:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Besides, what's so cryptic about this album? The melodies are obvious, most of the lyrics are easy to understand. It's fun to listen to.
― filthy dylan, Wednesday, 19 December 2007 00:04 (sixteen years ago) link
ya i dont get what the secret picture is here. most of the songs are pretty hooky.
