wanna know what the sound quality is like. i know it's meant to all sound compressed and trebly but heard a few different-sounding rips. i'll buy it anyway it's pretty much the best thing i've heard in 09. i guess a proper album next year ft. best tracks from this, the tape thing (i like 'Belong' more than 'Feel It All Around') plus new songs would be ideal.

some tracks on High Times remind me of Rae & Christian more than anything else
a little late to the table but I like it...definitely music to drive to. Not seeing what makes it worth rebranding as 'hypnogogic pop' or whatever--falls in the same space as those Studio records, and those didn't get crazy hyped like this dude. Balearic pop perhaps? but maybe thats exactly what hypnogogic pop is.

http://www.readplatform.com/mixtape-vi-the-fantastic-symphony/earnest greene mix. pretty fucked. sounds like a buncha samples (i recognize some boogie song and maybe a wes montgomery sample) just tweaked to all shit.

Have heard this amazing track in the Aeroplane mix but rediscovered via the poll. The bassline reminds me (to the point of wondering if it was sampled) of "Thieves Like Us".
― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link
most of the backing track (including bass) is a sample from "i want you" by gary low

Perhaps it inspired New Order...

does anyone what he sampled for the track "belong" ?
― oscar, Friday, 2 April 2010 22:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Does he only use samples? Belong sounds a lot like "Englishman in New York" to me, even the melody. But I'm not sure if he sampled it. If it's just samples, there are probably a lot of things in there.

IMO the only Chillwaver who makes anything worth listening.
― daavid, Monday, 2 May 2011 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I've been trying to figure out what those drums remind me of. I'm thinking maybe "Burning Down The House" but I feel like they go back some late 70's prog. This is great BTW. It also reminds me of Slowdive and Moby's "Porcelain" only much, much better.
― daavid, Tuesday, 3 May 2011 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
I like how unchillwave the cover is for the new Washed Out. Really looking forward to hearing it!

― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 02:47 (thirteen years ago) link
this is odd. it's a pleasant song, but much more deserving of "pretty but inconsequential" criticism than fleet foxes or whoever. reminds me in a strange, watered-down way of U2.
rototom-style drum fills are cool, and yeah, reminscent of "burning down the house", but like daavid says, they're also a prog thing, maybe a post-prog thing. like a less boomy version of that famous bit in phil collins' "in the air tonight".

well, it only half sounds like something U2 would do melodically, in terms of the soaring vocal line vs. the whooshy synth parts. but if it were U2, the singer would be good, the beat would be a boring rhythm section, and the synth clouds would be the edge massaging sustain (or whatever).

I hear the U2 thing, kinda like one of the Unforgettable Fire b-sides. But those are like the best U2 songs ever, so cool.
