Chaz Bundick has announced a new Toro Y Moi album is coming out soon, and from the first single they've released it's gonna be a serious departure from his previous TYM work. It's still wonderful so I'm looking forward to it, but I'm gonna miss that sound he had on Underneath the Pine and Causers of This. https://soundcloud.com/carparkrecords/toro-y-moi-empty-nesters

He caught up with the 80s styles and is now deep into 90's alt music. I hope this isn't the album, but we always have Les Sins as a good stand in if he wants to go off recreate 90's friends style coffee muzak.

That makes sense given that one of the guys from Unknown Mortal Orchestra helped him produce Empty Nesters so I can see the influence.

Saw Viet Cong and Savages yesterday at two separate shows. Both were awesome as hell. I was surprised and glad the audience was dancing hard to Savages, given they were playing at 1am. As usual when I see bands I like, I did end up sad that Savages didn't play one of my favorite songs (Fuckers), but it was made up for in how awesome the new songs they were trying out were. Man, post-punk revival is really my favorite thing to happen to music ever

They finished their set with Fuckers when I saw their first two nights of the residency, but seem to have dropped it from the setlist sometime last week for some reason. But yeah, the new songs were great and I often found myself in complete awe of the bassist and/or the drummer at any given time. On an unrelated note, Courtney Barnett announced her first full length album and the video for the first single features her as the 2013 Clown of the Year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-nr1nNC3ds

Both of these bands rule and Viet Cong's new album is really quite awesome. I loved Continental Shelf when it came out last year but march of progress, bunker buster and silhouettes are also great songs from the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdMz7BUtOvk - continental shelf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW1kP99mok4 - silhouettes For those who want some idea of what they sound like, I really think they sound a lot like wolf parade which is great.

I'm not too big a fan, but I love the melody in this particular song. Destroyer is the name of Dan Bejar's project, best known from Wolf Parade fame. He has a penchant for creating really odd, but beautiful music.

The production most of the tracks on We Were Dead... turned me off and I was hoping that after eight years they would've dialed it back. Guess not, although it's more apparent on the first two singles than this one.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmw8lVXHIms The first comment on YouTube is bothered by people who compare this to Arcade Fire. I'm inclined to agree with its feeling of indignation, though not in the way the comment would like, because "The Suburbs" was actually good. At least the song is better than "Lampshades on Fire", I suppose?

What's your favorite album of theirs? Mine is We Were Dead and I've listened to literally everything they've ever made, even the Ugly Casanova soundtrack for that one awful documentary. It's a different-strokes thing.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:It always varies between Long Drive, Lonesome Crowded West and Moon & Antarctica. Don't get me wrong, I like Good News and We Were Dead, but not even close to how much I like those other albums. It almost feels like those 2 groups of albums are from entirely different bands. I think a lot of the silky guitar work on Building Nothing out of Something is really reminiscent of We Were Dead, and the fuzz-stomp of Lonesome Crowded West is there too in a shinier, glassier sort of way. Long Drive and Good News are the two real outliers in terms of sound, the first because it was their debut and had a lot of grungy weirdness in the mix (poo poo like Head South or Tundra/Desert had a single echo in poo poo Luck and was never heard from again), and Good News because they didn't have Jeremiah Green and his drumming is the band's backbone. Seriously, I liked Good News but the percussion suuuucked outside of Ocean Breathes Salty. What I'm saying is that if you take in their whole timeline then it's really more of a refinement than a total transformation, they've been peeling back a lot of their indie quirks - the grunge fuzz and prog-rock stuff, which I never really liked that much to begin with - and keeping focus on Brock's voice and the guitar work. My main concern with this latest album is that it's way less oblique than anything else they've made. This is the first time Brock's made such direct social commentary and it's really not to his benefit, "western civilization is sort of hosed" is a really obvious (if true) statement and becomes tiresome even if you cover it in Modest Mouse-colored paint.

Other than the single on good news (which actually sounds a little reminiscent of karma payment type song) I think the rest of the songs sound just as modest mouse-y. Bukowski and poo poo and a bunch of others have a real modest mouse feel. We were dead...while its a good album, that's where the band reaaaaalllly became too slick. No ones next is trash other than whale song.

I think the album might prove better than the singles indicate. The singles for We Were Dead were Dashboard, Fire It Up, and Missed the Boat. The single for No One's First was Satellite Skin. Those discs, still had Spitting Venom, Parting of the Sensory, Invisible, King Rat, and Whale Song.

I feel similarly about those albums but I still really enjoy their new stuff. They're evolving as a band, when you think about it they kind of had to. Isaac Brock was self destructive during those early years and if something didn't happen then he wasn't going to be around. Is the new stuff less edgy and raw, sure. But, it also has some interesting nuance and twists.

This sounds very familiar. For me, perhaps the Modest Mouse album when seen as a whole album is The Lonesome Crowded West, thanks to Jesus Christ Was An Only Child, Cowboy Dan/Trailer Trash, Truckers Atlas and especially Bankrupt on Selling. That said, perhaps my biggest all-time favourites are from The Moon & Antarctica, namely Lives and The Stars Are Projectors. I liked a few songs from Good News, but in the end, I kind of stopped following them and lost interest. The new things I have heard haven't gripped me at all, and not just in comparison. edit: fixed my quote, since this didn't really make sense when quoting Oxxidation Hollow Talk fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Feb 3, 2015 |
