what is this crap? where's the steel guitar?

see best line in "graceland" thread

Pitchfork gives it an 8.4 and their best new music tag.....let the backlash/indifference begin.

really loving this so far

couldn't get into it. I don't like the guy's voice.

man I can't wait for this 80s thing to be over so we can get on with an ironic nu-metal cargo shorts revival

oops sorry, thought this was the bat for lashes thread

lol ilx url api sux

try again

Hey I am really liking this album.

And I *do* see the Gabriel thing, at least on a few of the songs - early era Gabriel, not shit like "sledgehammer" ffs. Something about the production and vocal work.

It has a real 80s 4AD feel to it as well: a bit Clan of Xymox, a bit Modern English, in feel.

I am liking this muchly on first listen.

Stuff like "Slow" on the other hand sounds massively Morrisey-esque.

YES i knew the gabriel was there thanks trayce

u r welcome. I totally hear it! Which makes it really bloody good.

hey guys i'm looking for max's official thread on this band, is this it?

I've been loving the shit out of a few bands doing this kind of dreamy 80s pop lately - Bell Hollow, Veil Veil Vanish, old Prids stuff.

xpost haha.

Also, "im always disappointed when people dont love stuff as much as i do"

I so agree with this :/

hey slocki--youre in the right place--have a seat

Last.fm poster said: "Molly Ringwald is dancing to this in her bedroom". hahah <3

*awkwardly squeezes through row of sitting ilxors and takes last empty seat as max's presentation begins*

Realised too late for my top 10 of 2010 ballot that this is my favourite album of the year :/

it's october?

Monthly print mag lead times wait for no man.

i like this a lot.Random friends of mine that have heard me playing it in the background around the house seem to dig it too

*raises hand*

how can i hear this without clicking anything OR buying anything

*farts*

http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/album/Forget/4580052

Just a few clicks?

too many!

*sips latte*

remember i was there before max

I find that hard to believe, given that max started the official ilm thread

just to clear up any confusion, cutty "hipped" max to the band!

max doesn't really know about music

Those songs were boring. Sorry

max, thank you for making this gentle music.

lol

100 blog years too late

lol

just to be totally clear here--cutty did NOT start this thread

wait a second

maybe cutty is max's "twin shadow"

PLOT TWIST

THE THREAD IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE SHADOW

more like 'twinside' the shadow

no one is wondering in what manner i "hipped" max to the recording artist known as twin shadow

(it was a gentle whisper in his ear)

His new single features Haim and is thankfully so much better than anything on that last album.

much much better than anything from that last album!

Listening to Forget again. It really is one of the most perfect records of the decade for me.

"I Can't Wait" one of the least popular songs on Forget according to Spotify stats. I don't understand people at all.

Yeah that's odd considering its strengths and that the closing title track has a lot more. Although I often skip 'Tyrant Destroyed' this is still one of my favourite albums since 2010.

In the past there was an additional version of 'Forget' on Spotify with iirc a slightly different running order and the apostrophe in 'I Can't Wait' was also different - don't suppose that could've affected its tally at all?
