warpaint are a good band that i unfairly hated for a long time because they have two songs that are soulcycle-core and got played loving everywhere and i hated them my friend dragged me to see them live and it was actually a great show, even those songs sounded better divorced of the context of "every hipster coffee shop i've ever been in in my life"

abraham linksys posted:kinda shocked they didn't get LCD Soundsystem, wonder if they're taking a break from touring the answer to this is yes, james murphy doesn't want to tour without having new music and has been taking a break to work on a restaurant and being a dad and whatnot https://pitchfork.com/news/lcd-soundsystems-james-murphy-talks-to-marc-maron-on-wtf-listen/

i thought sound and color loving ruled and was mad no one else seemed to care about it did not know about the situation with their drummer until now, though, oof  think instead of listening to that deluxe version, going to get around to finally listening to brittany howard's solo record instead

LCD Soundsystem is playing a 20-night residency at Brooklyn Steel. I saw them like four times since their reunion and they played the same drat set every time, and between covid, me living further from that venue than I used to, and the shows selling out instantly, I thought would be fine skipping it. So of course, they've brought back: * Beat Connection (first time since 2005) * On Repeat (first time since 2007) * Thrills (first time since 2011) * Time To Get Away (first time since 2016) so now I'm staring at literal 2x prices ($150!) for the later dates of their residency in December and debating getting a ticket  hopefully by then they're just playing every song on the bonus disc of the self-titled. play both versions of Yeah back to back, gently caress it abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Nov 25, 2021 |

which beloved indie rock band from the 2000s that still regularly gets top or second line billing on a festival poster wouldn't play a crypto party, honestly (tv on the radio, i think in my head, knocking on every wooden surface in my house)

self-indulgent since this is just obscure enough to not really fit in with the rest of the discussion, but ezra furman's day of the dog / perpetual motion people / transangelic exodus it's kind of a weird exercise because there's a difference between "here's 3 great albums in a row" and "here's 3 great albums in a row that all hang together." like, i would say future islands's in evening air, on the water, and singles is an incredible run, but you have to caveat that with singles being such a huge smash compared to the previous two

Paperback Writer posted:Arcade Fire at 9pst (youtube) dunno why they kept win having to stop the set to get medical attention for someone in the front on this; these "livestreams" are delayed a couple hours usually lol sounding good! i've never seen them live, this tour might be the time

im tired of listening to indie music. these artists, their four-single album rollouts, their songs about the hell of living in our decaying modern world, their music festivals i will never again attend because of covid and also i can't loving stand outside in the sun for six hours these days are you kidding me. instead ive spent the last few years getting really into genesis, kpop, and whichever one of like six identical 80s playlists spotify chooses to put in front of me on the start screen when i open it up. did like that new everything everything album though it's kind of like what i like about alt-j while being significantly less embarrassing (still awful lyrics, but like, i think on purpose as a bit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iypuEbVCcc8

Sir Lemming posted:I really liked the Guerilla Toss album even though it didn't seem to make as many waves as I expected. It's my favorite thing they've done in a few records, though that seems to make me an outlier among my friends who also like them. Really accessible, and that last song is this really interesting window into "what if Guerilla Toss was just a pop band" that I kinda hope they follow up on.

I saw them a couple times 2015-2017 and they were great. they play like half of Hissing Fauna, a few songs from the albums around it, and then whatever new stuff they have out, and it's a good show. they backed off most of the stage stuff other than just having goofy costumes and a couple interludes. looks like they're still basically doing that: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/of-montreal/2022/spirit-pittsburgh-pa-13b6e9c1.html I feel like they would have an incredible best-of if they ever put one together, but yeah I"ve listened to the records since False Priest basically once, added a couple songs to my playlists, and never listened to the albums again

that LCD Soundsystem date is ludicrously stacked. might go to the Boygenius date to see Bartees Strange too It's gonna be at Forest Hills Stadium here which I assume is going to instantly sell out, it's only 6k capacity. LCD Soundsystem was doing their NYC residencies where they'd play 12 dates in a row at a 1.5k room and those sold out instantly, so doing the math, I am very concerned about my odds

interpunct posted:The capacity for concerts at Forest Hills Stadium is 13k, so your perceived chances of scoring a ticket (zero) just doubled (to still zero). oh, that's not as bad as I thought then (though yeah lol). dunno why I always thought it was like 6-7k, I think the math I did in my head in one point was "take MSG, make the floor smaller, remove the upper deck." I guess there's just way more rows than I thought about, plus with bleachers you can probably pack people in a lot more

if we only posted about truly "indie" acts in this thread, you'd just see people posting about acts that they have heard of that no one else in this thread has heard of, because basically anyone with enough popularity to wind up on even the smallest festival text is signed to a "major" label these days

Nightmare Cinema posted:Nation of Language is the most new wave name for a band this side of OMD. they're also the only 80s retro band that actually sounds like they listened to a bunch of OMD i like them a lot, saw em live a week ago at a free outdoor show. they're pretty fun live even though the frontman is completely incomprehensible drenched in that much reverb live

ive tried to get into that genre a bunch of times but extremely few songs every stick i like yard act and think their videos are cool, and fontaines dc have a few songs that work pretty well for me (also the frontman has a solo album this year that's at least very different backing music), but i just keep thinking about how this stuff doesn't hold a candle to what Shopping was doing a decade ago

disclosure being top line there and Jamie xx top line at pitchfork means we're really speed running EDM nostalgia, but this is the part I actually like so I don't mind tbh that last Disclosure album was pretty good all things considered, if they give another shot at the big featured artist extravaganza thing I bet it'd at least produce a few good singles

i am finding myself nostalgic for music that is now somehow a decade old (i blame those early Jungle songs posted earlier) and man it's weird that wild beasts never got huge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IIbbFIQTKI if you've ever asked the question "what would alt-j sound like if they were actually good and not a guilty pleasure"... wild beasts were the answer

i fuckin loved illinois and age of adz but carrie & lowell being an album of just the saddest indie folk imaginable meant i never got around to listening to it. like, casmir pulaski day is the only song i have just straight up teared-up listening to; an entire of album of that would probably kill me. Javelin seems even more brutal in this regard i should probably listen to The Ascension, right? feel like that album kind of came and went but, well, 2020 was not a great year to release an album

mildly obsessed with this single by a japanese band i found on the "wasabi" apple music playlist, Johnnivan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HcUSwTBoS8 their 2022 album is pretty good too, though it sometimes gets a little too, uh... muse-y? the three singles they've put out since Kayoesque are all over the fuckin place so really dunno what this band's identity is. they're named after the singer, who is named Johnathan Sullivan, and they've got an instagram and live videos on youtube and stuff, but i haven't found any english-language bios or anything. this one is pretty sick too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edy2g5v0AhY

man usually these sort of one-day festivals have way too many conflicts to make them worth the price and you only end up seeing 1/3 of what you'd like to see, but this one's easy as hell CSS, Gossip, Sleigh Bells, Tegan and Sara, Phantogram, Alvways, a little bit of Passion Pit, dinner, a little bit of Metric, Death Cab, Phoenix, listen to what you can make out of War on Drugs from the other stage while holding a spot for Postal Service, Postal Service also is this a reunion show for Miike Snow? I had no idea they were still making music and/or touring?
