I remember being down with the opening track on this Dick Diver album and then not liking any of the rest of it.

had "waste the alphabet" on a few playlists but hadn't got round to listening to this one yet

Not nuts about project pablo, but i did enjoy the cfcf and keita sano records on the same label
Made it 4 songs into Kurt vile, he sounds almost as bored as I felt

You realize I'm not taking any sort of position right? Was only speculating. Thought I was being pretty careful, too.

I'm liking Project Pablo too.

not saying you should always judge a band on their bandname but
the project pablo stands out to me because out of a lot of stuff cut from similar cloth on 1080p and mood hut, much of which is screamingly white, it is definitely more relentless with the hooks.

ppl who meant to vote for jaonna newsom record did ctrl+f diver and made a mistake imo
― Will v. Maim (Will M.), Monday, 25 January 2016 15:40 (eight years ago) link
project pablo was def growing on me (a little) by the time brandon knocked
― I remember you was vote-splitted (imago), Monday, 25 January 2016 15:41 (eight years ago) link
speaking of white, that dick diver image is doing a good job of making me not want to listen to them ever
― mattresslessness, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:41 (eight years ago) link
You can do interesting things with tape aesthetics. Part of the appeal of early Boards of Canada was the subtle tape flanging sound weaved in that highlighted the sense of nostalgia for childhood. For me at anyrate.
However, choosing to EQ as though you forgot about the high-bias switch? Not so interesting.

i was just kidding above! actually the albums poll is ruined now like everyone said
from this early stage it is ruined and everyone likes bad music and bad formats and everyone is bad and should feel bad and something something variable bit rate magnets

Don't worry. All will be right with the world again when Gaz places.

can't even imagine a life where i'd knowingly listen to an australian indie band called dick diver

wait there was a joanna newsom album in 2015
― ciderpress, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:44 (eight years ago) link
tape distortion can be used to great effect. see kyle hall.
― mattresslessness, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:44 (eight years ago) link
i double-dog-dare all of you to listen to track 4 of the dick diver album

Not that I have one but I thought this was pretty cool. Guy gets cool sounds on his demo tracks.

good cover art on metal albums is ubiquitous enough to be almost boring but baronness cover is pretty neat

I couldn't have imagined being relieved to listen to Baroness today. I loathe this cover art.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:49 (eight years ago) link
my feeling about baroness is that, while in theory i could have a place for a 2015 alice in chains in my workout playlist, in practice the final fantasy ambiance nixes it.

who the fuck is this brandon flowers dork

yeah the cover art makes 0 sense to me
I still double dog dare everyone to listen to track 4 of the dick diver album

Baroness is a band that I've wanted to like, but it just never completely clicks for me.
― Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles), Monday, 25 January 2016 15:53 (eight years ago) link
Not my thing, but I've always loved Baroness cover art.
Artist John Dyer Baizley has a gallery.

project pablo is great, was p high on my ballot iirc, i may have even been one of the #1s on some strategic shit. if you are really allergic to any lo-fi i guess i can't convince you of its merits but it's really best thought of as a light spritzy melodic house trifle. it's like a lemon soda by the pool, and one of the best attempts at mixing house + the am gold softpop pallet. the production and sound design is really good and well-suited to the music imo; it sounds bright but not murky or excessively melted-in-the-sun, the drums aren't loud cause they don't have to be but have a good scrappy breakbeat feel. the one thing that annoys me about it being lo-fi is it doesn't sound great played at loud volumes, the one time i played it out i had to cut it halfway. also i'm sure it's not really a cassette, as in they didn't bounce it off a cassette on the mp3 you're listening to.
