I haven't. I'm like 3 albums behind on this band, honestly. I usually put on all those tour only albums that got reissued a few years ago (love those) but have been slacking otherwise.

listening now, kinda a grab bag in terms of style and quality. my fav track so far is "Thrown to the Wild," which does the windswept tex-mex post rock thing that only they can do so well.

They've put out lots of good stuff, but I still can't tell if they take too long between records or not enough time.

They've been hit and miss for a while now. New one especially.

I thought Algiers was a solid album, and they always manage to bring the best out of their collaborators whenever they do a joint project.
idk, i loved their '00s output enough that i'm gonna listen to everything they do from now on

"Unconditional Waltz" is kinda weird in that it's essentially a instrumental cover of "America" by Simon & Garkfunkel, I wonder if they credit it on the liner notes?

Oh, I feel the same way - I mean, I give every album a chance and I make a point to hang onto all the songs I like. But it's been a while since I loved an album all the way through.

I was recommended by Cacavas. Messages me. Which is like wtf dude you are awesome, why give me the time of day. But I love the records. Fits my current vibe.

Don’t think I can even make it through the new album.

Honestly didn't even know they had a new album out, but I just bought tickets to see them in LA.

Didn’t make it through the new album either.
