Great news. I saw them in April and they said the album was finished. The new material sounded really good.

it's quite a pop move, not bad but doesn't really play to their strengths either

feel like i've heard this song 50 times before, and that's just in ILX EOY singles polls

don't think it's good enough to make the eoy poll really

Hmm yeah, I don't think they played this one when I saw them. It's not great. The other songs sounded so much better, especially the emo ballad.

Yeah I don't like the way they've gone with these post- Young Enough tracks. To me that one was the perfect middle ground between a glossy slick sound and 4 people just playing in a room. The sonic whiz-bang cluttered production style is not doing them any favors.

The relief I felt when I saw those two singles from last year didn't make the album!

would say this is better... it ain't percolator though

Song doesn't really go anywhere, but yeah at least it's not that quasi-hyper-pop vibe (although the production suggests that could still be in the mix). Oh well. I really like the second album, maybe that's all the Charly Bliss I need.

it's been so long that it kinda felt like they'd already released a disappointing third album i'd forgotten about

The worst creative crash and burn I've seen a band willingly engage in since Bloc Party.

It was a fun day when I noticed Brad is thanked in the liner notes for Guppy

can't blame a band for trying new things, pushing themselves, expanding their sound, evolving, etc. — it's their band to run, after all, not mine — but sometimes the best move would be to just make the first album over and over again.
