I haven't listened to this in probably three years, but man it holds up a lot better than I thought it would. "Heaven" is fucking fantastic.

Hell, I'm a fan of the second album.

Pieces of the People We Love was INSANELY underrated. Did they do anything after that?
― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 01:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Wait, Echoes wasn't their debut, right? Didn't they do a couple indie records before that?
sorry -- I meant the THIRD album.

Surprised to see that, even though Echoes was hyped like crazy, they've never once made the singles charts here in the U.S., not even "House of Jealous Lovers."

you're surprised? really?

mattie's cartoon "mattie" grill in the WAYUH video = k-classic

"WAYUH (people don't dance no more)" should have hit #1 :(

i'm in that video... somewhere

WAYUH is so classic

Well I'd think getting named album of the year by Pitchfork would've shifted some units.
But now I look at LCD Soundsystem's chart action, which looks pretty much exactly the same, so I guess Pitchfork-friendly indie rock is not ripe for underground hits.

Well ever since the whole "indie's gone mainstream! The blogosphere is where it's at!" and "The shins will change your life!" kinda thing, I guess I always thought these bands were a little bit more popular than they really are.

dude tv on the radio hardly makes any soundscan numbers
― cutty, Tuesday, 11 May 2010 01:36 (thirteen years ago) link
these bands make all their money on touring
the whole "indie's gone mainstream!" thing is happening more on the albums charts than the singles and more in the past few years than back when the Ratpure were putting out albums
― jagger edge (The Reverend), Tuesday, 11 May 2010 01:53 (thirteen years ago) link
The blogosphere is where it's at!
Not sure this has been true in years.

If ever, really.
Either way, best of luck to Tapes 'n Tapes.

Their song, "Whoo! Alright, Yeah…Uh Huh" is the official anthem for Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer.
