Anyone excited for Here We Go Magic's new album? I loved his debut, but thought Pigeons was really dull.

With the debut, the contrast between the very lo-fi recording and the complicated hypnotic rhythms (it sounded like everything was looped, but apparently it was all performed), and that it was all done by a single guy, gave it a very impressive yet mysterious sort of feel. Pigeons ditching all that for a more standard band and recording style removed all that, and the songs themselves seemed more like generic Canadian indie-pop than what the debut had.

But still, I'm sort of excited for a new album. Nigel Goodrich is producing it, and the new song seems promising.

Well, there's a music video for "Today's Supernatural" now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47xbkT3calM

Its about as great as it is :wtc:. Avey looks like a juggalo butterfly.

Also in other AC news, Applesauce is now out there in the wilderness and they're planning to stream the album on Sunday.

Is this the only place on the forums to talk about the new Animal Collective album?? I'm really surprised there isn't a dedicated thread for the new album.
Whenever a AC thread gets made, about seven people reply to it and then it falls off the forum forever. This forum doesn't seem that into indie music.

Fun fact, I registered my SA account to create a Strawberry Jam thread here. I was insta-banned for using the "Hot" tag like an idiot. When I reregistered to make another one, about seven people replied to it until it fell off the forum forever. A drat well $30 spent.

edit: VVV Okay, you persuaded me. I think you've posted in all of my dumb album threads as well and I respect that in a person. :v:

Psychedelia-Punk outfit Deerhunter officially announced their 5th official LP, Monomania. And it's coming out May 7th. They describe the album's sound as 'nocturnal garage', and apparently Bradford Cox had two hundred and fifty songs stockpiled for the album. Which on one hand is insane, but on the other hand it's been three years since Halcyon Digest and Bradford Cox is a music making machine (and also insane.)

Here's the artwork, which would fit a 'nocturnal garbage' album.

The new Deerhunter album is out and it's extremely good up until halfway through and then it becomes pretty inconsistent and the songs start to feel half-baked. So like all their other albums post Halcyon Digest.

Unsurprisingly a lot of talented musicians come from affluent backgrounds where they could afford the kind of equipment, networking and training early in life to perform at a high level.

IMO Funeral, Neon Bible and Suburbs is among the best first 3 full length album releases in indie history

Other contenders:
Modest Mouse
LCD Soundsystem

Close but not quite:
Built to Spill (UAW not up to snuff)
Radiohead (PH not up to snuff)
Fiona Apple (too long a gap between WTP and EM, and also I think EM not up to snuff but honestly would need to listen more to really assess)
Phoenix (United not up to snuff)
TV on the Radio (DYBTB and DS both just a little too inconsistent)

This is just off the top of my head, who’s missing?

Deerhunter’s Cryptograms, Microcastle/Weird Era Cont, and Halcyon Digest.

The new Fleet Foxes is so good, which isn’t surprising but I think he just keeps getting better and better or at least as I get older and listen to indie music less, I appreciate the style of arrangements he’s been gravitating towards and the like modern classical and art pop influences. The sort of unexpectedly overt Steve Reich style strings on ‘Cradling Mother, Cradling Woman’ are so good and that track also samples an unused Brian Wilson vocal take I guess, but it still sounds very Fleet Foxes.

Idk where to post about the new Oneohtrix Point Never, but it’s real good and more ‘indie’ than most of his other stuff, I guess aside from Black Snow, but that was a very poppy single on an album of weird and unpoppy music. https://youtu.be/MYr5MypHAhQ
I actually like this track more, but I love all three tracks he put out, one is like 22 seconds long though. But this one is more like R plus 7 or something with the lo fi tape warble that the other track has https://youtu.be/EH0pcBZMfEg

it's really funny how opn's garden of delete and the fake "hyper grunge" genre he made to promote it basically predicted 100gecs

new opn is really good, the concept of the album sounds like his take on james ferraro's "on air", which gets me pumped up.

Congratulations on knowing Ariel Pink sucks before the rest of us dummies.

if you were paying attention to him during Pom Pom you’d know he’s a weird right wing idiot

If it’s any conciliation, it’s not like he has much of a ideology or anything. he’s mostly inscrutable when he gets political, to a point where people wrote him off as a troll.

John maus should’ve known better though.

I listened to the new gizz and I feel like my opinion is contrasted from everyone else’s opinion of “this is an odd bunch of songs that don’t flow well.”

I think the flow is fine. The hazy lo-fin aesthetic and jammier procession melds the stylistically different songs together much better than Gumboot Soup.

My issue is that a lot of the styles feel a little too recycled now and I don’t know yet if I’d rather just listen to their other albums.

But I gotta say, the difference between them making an album in a studio together compared to recording individually in their own homes (like they did on the clunky performances of KG and LW) is night and day. The chemistry is real good, especially on the dripping tap.

So after listening to the album a bunch: the new king gizzard album… is a good king gizzard album. better than the sum of its parts, which shouldn’t be the case for a collection of unused tracks, but they must’ve put a lot of work into incorporating all the material into this hazy, sometimes jammy, sometimes jazzy experience and it’s real nice time. It’s like a better written, more ambitious I’m In Your Mind Fuzz.

I have to say OPN’s production on is awesome. It does feel very 90s without sounding dated or copying something directly. Like it’s capturing the spirit without being a homage. Last time I had this impression was with Deerhunter’s Microcastle.

The mixing could be better though? Maybe it’s my AirPods starting to fail but it does feel a little… Compressed or mid-heavy or whatever.

Still though, c’mon Lopatin, do more indie rock.
