wow this song is really great

I'm avoiding listening to any songs from the album until it's released, but I hope it's an album that I return to often, which was not the case with their last one, save a few songs. Their first misstep, imo.

really think the direction of this album so far is interesting. the detroit techno embellishments really blend with greenspan's vocal

one of these days i'm going to "get" begone dull care. i'm revisiting it's all true right now and love it more than ever?

and the jessy lanza record from two years ago kinda quietly grew in my estimation and i think it's stunning now
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Tuesday, 1 December 2015 12:28 (eight years ago) link
BDG makes more sense if you pretend it starts with "Bits and Pieces" imo

the jessy lanza record was one of my favorites from 2013 and remains so, especially approaching winter

I think I've seen junior boys play more often than any band (excepting friends' bands)
just found out last week they're playing here in february and tickets went on sale at the end of october and it's sold out boo hoo

I snagged tix for April already, it'll be my first time!

any ILMers heard this yet? handful of people on last.fm are listening to it, so figure some copies are out there. curious what to expect.

i feel like i'm the only person who's highly anticipating this new album, someone please tell me i'm wrong
― j. winters (josh), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 07:03 (eight years ago) link
You're wrong.
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 07:25 (eight years ago) link
i really fooled myself into thinking this would be a return to form but it made me lose interest in this band all over again
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 09:09 (eight years ago) link
excited to pick this record up two years later and suddenly realize how much i like it
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 13:19 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, Josh you are wrong. I love the three singles so far and have very high hopes for the album.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 14:05 (eight years ago) link
i'm enjoying the record.

"big black coat" and "over it" just sound better and better the more i listen to them
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 23:48 (eight years ago) link
banana ripple is one of the best things they or basically anyone has ever done so i am super psyched for new shit, i love these dudes even when they are kinda boring

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 01:53 (eight years ago) link
btw this worked
yesss
I love the super mellow last couple of tracks, also "Sneak a Picture" might be my fave of theirs period

'the animator' was the real slow burner from that record
― ciderpress, Thursday, 28 January 2016 02:25 (eight years ago) link
if they play either of those when I see them in April I may die
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 28 January 2016 02:32 (eight years ago) link
relevant to our interests - new Jessy Lanza album, again produced by Greenspan

co-produced with her, I mean.

I did the same with Begone Dull Care when I first got it (starting with Bits & Pieces) but I have grown to love Parallel Lines too. Work just totally kills the mood. Everything after that is great. It's such an underrated album. I guess following two absolute masterpieces was always going to be tough for them. I think it's good enough to follow two 10/10s with an 8.
I really liked It's All True when it came out but the last time I played it I only really got a lot out of Itchy Fingers, ep, The Reservoir and Banana Ripple. Hoping the new one is more consistent and has better staying power.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 28 January 2016 03:25 (eight years ago) link
i might see these guys in, i think, April in Southern California. hope they are good live.

I missed these guys so much!
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 28 January 2016 04:31 (eight years ago) link
unearthing all sorts of feels i got from the first two but not the last two - this is fucking great!
― anza808, Thursday, 28 January 2016 04:51 (eight years ago) link
whoa "C'mon Baby" gets v close to shoegaze near the end
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:02 (eight years ago) link
live, with much more guitar than they used on record, they would end first-album tracks like 'under the sun' w/ big shoegazey buildups
― j., Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:10 (eight years ago) link
oh man yeah this sounds good
― j., Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:25 (eight years ago) link
I'm gonna have to stop my listen to go to bed but it sounds p good, "Baby Give Up On It" is a bit boilerplate tho
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:26 (eight years ago) link
I'll listen to the junior boys when that dude stops singing. Good gravy.
― lute bro (brimstead), Thursday, 28 January 2016 08:07 (eight years ago) link
well this is really good
even the flimsier songs have some element that totally alters the environment
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 14:47 (eight years ago) link
like "baby give up on it" which sounds unremarkable at first and then turns into a post-disco/minimal techno hybrid
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
"baby give up on it" is the exact point where i flipped from oh-good-more-junior-boys-this-is-nice to fuck yes

Was sent a promo of it, it feels like it makes a triangle with Our Love and Pull My Hair Back

i even like the wacky "what you won't do for love" cover now

those handclaps tho
― j., Thursday, 28 January 2016 22:12 (eight years ago) link
trying again with this and ugh still not grabbing me...it sounds so samey, none of the melodies or songs are distinguishing themselves from each other apart from the ones that are slightly more boring. keep hoping they'll rediscover the magic of the first two albums but this isn't it
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 29 January 2016 16:30 (eight years ago) link
you sound so samey
― j., Friday, 29 January 2016 17:24 (eight years ago) link
new record is like if you took the inimitable aura of arthur russell's <i>world of echo</i> to the dancefloor so it wins for me
