charly bliss: guppy

Saw 'em in Sydney a couple of weeks back, and they were great. Feel like the newer songs have more of a kick live with a higher tempo and less emphasis on the synths. They really just sounded more like Guppy songs, and for the better. Anyway, they had great energy and seemed like they were having lots of fun.

Mr. Brightside cover was cool.

I have to admit that I've warmed up to it (some more) in the last months. Now it's... fine.
But yes, as Johnny Fever said, they don't owe me a Guppy 2 and that's perfectly okay.
By now I'm just glad that this seems to be enjoyed by a lot of people.

new ep! https://charlybliss.bandcamp.com/album/supermoon

lovely news! still going back to young enough pretty regularly

and to drop it on a rare occasion i can listen at work, so thoughtful!

fans of guppy who couldn't get down with the new lp: idk, seems like this is for you

how do they write so many good songs

was mid supermoon and came to post the same thing

Niiiice!

Holy shit @ "Threat." I'm constantly wrestling with whether or not I was that guy in my youth, and I don't think I was to that degree, but I feel this in my bones.

This new E.P sounds somewhat like a bunch of Demos. Everything is quite basic, thin and...boring :(

"heaven" giving me breeders vibes.

these songs are all pretty good except for "supermoon"

ended their set tonight with a dancing on my own cover

best band in the world

inject it into my veins

and yeah, the new EP is so-so but Supermoon and Heaven are great

And when the sidewalk ripped up our frozen feet
I can't protect you now if I couldn't save you then
You were still just a kid
You're a beautiful boy
Crushing cigarettes just to prove a point

Young Enough is such a great album.

new music tomorrow, yippee skippee!

Great news. I saw them in April and they said the album was finished. The new material sounded really good.

it's quite a pop move, not bad but doesn't really play to their strengths either

Hard no

feel like i've heard this song 50 times before, and that's just in ILX EOY singles polls

don't think it's good enough to make the eoy poll really

you just wait lol

i'm talking about its slightly-superior forebears mind

Hmm yeah, I don't think they played this one when I saw them. It's not great. The other songs sounded so much better, especially the emo ballad.

jfc why are they so terrible now

Yeah I don't like the way they've gone with these post- Young Enough tracks. To me that one was the perfect middle ground between a glossy slick sound and 4 people just playing in a room. The sonic whiz-bang cluttered production style is not doing them any favors.

bliss is back, album in august. single is not doing much for me...

The relief I felt when I saw those two singles from last year didn't make the album!

would say this is better... it ain't percolator though

Song doesn't really go anywhere, but yeah at least it's not that quasi-hyper-pop vibe (although the production suggests that could still be in the mix). Oh well. I really like the second album, maybe that's all the Charly Bliss I need.

it's been so long that it kinda felt like they'd already released a disappointing third album i'd forgotten about

The worst creative crash and burn I've seen a band willingly engage in since Bloc Party.

It was a fun day when I noticed Brad is thanked in the liner notes for Guppy

i've gotten to live a few of my dreams and that was one of them

can't blame a band for trying new things, pushing themselves, expanding their sound, evolving, etc. — it's their band to run, after all, not mine — but sometimes the best move would be to just make the first album over and over again.
