Epi Lepi posted:Good, No One's First is the dopest poo poo, way better than We Were Dead. And that's how I feel about the new songs, too: disposable. Where some of their older material is some of the music that has resonated with me the most in my life, I can't bring myself to feel connected to these new songs. There's just nothing there to keep me coming back. Knucklebear posted: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. But I don't feel as though this is an evolution of the band in any way. Actually, it feels more like they're devolving. I just listened to The Best Room again and it sounds like an incoherent mess. To me, they aren't getting tighter and more focused, they're all over the place and their work is sounding shoddy as a result.

The new track started off too much like Lampshades but I liked the breakdown that started at the halfway point. I'm wondering what the studio version of "Pistol" will sound like, I heard it live six months back and it sounded weird as hell.

No legit a lot of these songs are garbage and almost all of no ones next was junk. It's not a "better when I was young" it's a "these songs are boring and way over produced" and have no where near the amount of feeling or emotional depth coming off them. They aren't as interesting.

interpunct posted: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 This is fantastic and I'm simultaneously mad that no one told me about her until now & happy that someone told me about her before her concert tickets go on sale Friday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcnIhzaDTd0 Also, count me as someone who was introduced to Modest Mouse through Good News, loved it and We Were Dead, and later learned to love their first three albums (I actually think I like their first one the most, weirdly enough? At least, I listen to it most often), but has been bored to tears by everything they've done since. It also basically just sounds like a more boring version of We Were Dead - same ingredients, but with all the spices removed.

IIRC they've been playing Lampshades on Fire in some form or another at live shows since the We Were Dead era (and same with one or two other songs I saw on the tracklist for StO, I'm pretty sure), so this album very well may be a bunch of We Were Dead B-sides. If that's the case, though, this won't even come to close to being as good of a B-sides album as Building Nothing Out Of Something is.

The new Murder By Death just came out. Haven't had much of a chance to listen to it properly yet, but I've enjoyed what I've heard so far. Plus it came with a kick-rear end shirt thanks to Kickstarter. https://murderbydeath.bandcamp.com/album/big-dark-love

I saw Jenny Lewis with Tuneyards and Shakey Graves in Austin this past weekend. I was just going for Jenny but, while Tuneyards were about as strange as I was expecting they were actually really good in their own way. I wasn't familiar with Shakey Graves, apparently he's somewhat of a local favorite in Austin, plays southern rock influenced music, and is for the most part a one man band. The real treat was Jenny Lewis though, she was so good, easily one of my favorite concerts I've ever been to. She played Rilo Kiley, and Solo material all with the same level of musicality. She had a really great stage presence and I got chills when the chorus kicked in on "Better Son/Daughter". At one point they let a bunch of extremely large balloons down, the lighting was pretty bad so I had a hard time getting pictures but I tried to get one of that. I'm not sure what they were thinking was going to happen but, the balloons almost all immediately got pushed up onto the stage which made it very crowded for the band for a brief period.

Tuneyards is a bit divisive in some circles, but I think she's amazing. Her energy live is absolutely intense, and anyone who's ever tried to do live looping stuff will have to admit that her sense of timing is almost superhuman.

The new Father John Misty album is fantastic. If you like the folk stuff, it's a must listen. It makes sense to me now why J Tillman left Fleet Foxes to focus on this stuff.

I'd actually forgotten somewhat about that insane looping stuff she was doing. It was extremely impressive, I'd never seen anyone else do that in a live show. A friend of mind who did a lot of music in her undergrad said she only saw one other guy do it and he was a clarinet player.

Creature posted:The new Belle & Sebastian album Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance is streaming on NPR. I've only listened to it a couple of times so far, but already like it much more than their previous album. Just now getting around to listening to the new album, and I really love it. But I also really like Write About Love, so maybe my taste is bad My favorite on it, Ever Had a Little Faith?, was penned before Tigermilk according to Stuart.

So the new Purity Ring album is pretty dope. Not as good as the first one, but still packed full of a bunch of awesome tunes. Begin Again is a crazy good single, too.

It's like each track is at a consistent 7-8 of 10, as opposed to the peaks (Fineshrine) and valleys (Grandloves) that came with the first. It's just different enough to show progression and still be a bit more widely accessible to new audiences.

I just saw Natalie Prass perform live tonight and despite not having any orchestral backing, she's still a magical Disney princess just like every publication insists she is. I'm joking, of course, but she was very good live and it was interesting to hear her songs re-interpreted for a four piece band.

So here's a YouTube of I Love You, Honeybear for the cheap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caMfvhKIgBo My kneejerk reaction is that he's at least equaled Fear Fun. As I listened to it, I was worried we wouldn't get one heavy track like "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" but it came on the back end with "The Ideal Husband." That said, I'm not sure what to make of "True Affection."
