What are SCG's "poppiest" songs? They definitely have some hooks in them. "The Shining Path" is very catchy.
aka the "Lambada Song"!!!

final album coming out this month, Funeral Mariachifrom Colburn's website: Just finished mastering the final Sun City Girls studio album. I do believe this to be my best work to date. That’s right! I think this might be better than “Feel’s” .

as expected, this is completely top notch greatness from the cover artwork on down. one of their best.
― sleeve, Thursday, 30 September 2010 02:37 (thirteen years ago) link
really great. really expensive too.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 30 September 2010 13:25 (thirteen years ago) link
actually, after 3 listens today already, i'd say it was worth twice the price. astonishingly beautiful.
― stirmonster, Thursday, 30 September 2010 14:38 (thirteen years ago) link
Just ordered one.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 30 September 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Awesome cover. I just got this from Weird Forest. Will listen tomorrow.

This is so good, it's great. So great, it's excellent. So excellent, it's superb. Album of the year? Time will tell.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Saturday, 2 October 2010 04:23 (thirteen years ago) link
pretty sure it's album of the year for me, the 1-2 punch of "Ben's Radio"-"The Imam" is the most amazing thing I've heard in quite a while.
― sleeve, Saturday, 2 October 2010 04:31 (thirteen years ago) link
jesus god I can't wait to get this. should have figured that they had a whole completed LP still in the can, even when Charlie passed

ya know, one of the things that really interests me about this (awesome) record is that in a lot of ways it's the final "fuck you" from a band that made a career out of fucking with their audiences. for years we've had to live with willfully inconsistent releases, whimsical and inconsistent reissues, cavalier treatment of the back catalogue, confrontational live shows, etc. etc. etc.
now, once it's all over, they put out this record - one of their most beautiful and cohesive - and it's like they just wanted to say "see, we could have done this all along, but we didn't want to."
― sleeve, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 05:05 (thirteen years ago) link
been jamming this on the regular lately. so fuckin good.
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
not to be totally lame, but is this coming out on CD?
― tylerw, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link
i bet it will eventually!
― 69, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link
ah just saw on aquarius records' site: The vinyl of Funeral Mariachi is undoubtedly limited, but a cd is scheduled for release later in October, we're told.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Hooray! Looking forward to this a lot.
― Harrison Buttwhistle (NickB), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Awesome, I can't wait to hear this on a shiny silver platter.

― Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Friday, 8 October 2010 04:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I really love this this except for one track I'm not feeling, kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, 2nd song on side B: "Holy Ground".
― Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Listening to it now. I guess it seems a little undercooked compared to the rest of the tracks, musically anyway.I like the incantatory vocals.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 01:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I am also listening to this record right now.
"Black Orchid" has really grown on me. The track that I find a little off is "El Solo", which really sounds like it should be on an Alvarius B album.
I guess, reading that again, that the title might be telling me something there.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 01:59 (thirteen years ago) link
also... anyone else have some distortion in a couple of spots on "Vine Street Piano"?
― sleeve, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
"El Solo" has that kind of Elis e Tom ambience/vibe to it. Pretty subtle track imo.
― Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 02:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Fuckin love El Solo

i balked at getting DANTE'S DISNEYLAND INFERNO reissue last night cause it was $56 at aquarius (also btw new neil young was fuckin $41 for one record!!) -- should i reconsider? ive never heard it...
― 69, Wednesday, 13 October 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
^ disagree, the album is like a tour of various psychedelic styles, and this is clearly the barrett tune
― vehemence is mine (Edward III), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
young vinyl pricey b/c of high falutin pressing plant, no?

Dante's is great, really scary & demonic in parts (xxp)

I LOVE "El Solo." one of the first cuts to grab me. hadn't noticed any distortion on vine st... will re-check.dante's disneyland is one of my favorite SCG records.
― not everything is a campfire (ian), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
can I just say that after new swans, neil young, marnie stern, and now this, it has been a v v good month for music lovers
― vehemence is mine (Edward III), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
didn't mean to imply that I was dissing "El Solo", just that it's the track that sticks out as different for me :)
