hinklepink otm, though i'm still in the "wow, this is great!" phase. i've liked stray tracks in the past, but this is the first deerhunter album to really grab me. did like that one cover with the deers having cock sex.

"Blue Agent" sort of feels like it hits that "Flourescent Grey"-era mysteriousness. That one acoustic song is super Kurt Vile, which is cool, cos it's good, and Kurt Vile is a rad dude.

"nitebike" - kv's def in there, but the first thing it suggested to me was acoustic johnny thunders.
last three tracks are stunning! "monomania" is maybe the best heads-down rock song i've heard so far this year, all the more so for the emotional heft. i got everything maxed and it still isn't loud enough. "monomonomania monomonomania" part could go for another half hour and still i'd be happy.
a lot of complaining abt the turn to garage rock, but i get the feeling that the whole album is a presented as a tribute to misspent youth, triumphant nostalgia for past misery. that's mostly a product of "punk (la vie anterieure)", but i'm trying it on as a frame.
"pensacola" is only track i'm not feeling, too familiar, not enough energy to pull it off.

Contrnderizer mostly OTM
With "Pensecola" a weird thing happens - for the first 30 seconds I'm like ugh, then it wins me over

couldn't tell he was saying "monomania" at the end of "monomania" what does that mean

i like this album a lot. people are overstating the "rock album" thing, it's just a slightly grittier deerhunter album

One of those bands I've heard a bunch, seen live a couple of times and still can't recall a single note of. I think I fell asleep the last time they played, which didn't help.

A. Sandwich what do you think of "Pensacola" does it make you want to rock out like you were listening to "96 Tears"?

i liked em ok before but this is so much more neededthere are so many kind reverb rock post shoegaze dudes out there that are good at it but there's not that many real fucked up rackety twee punk bands
― jay-z's ansari (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:38 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, this one is great. Wasn't much of a fan of their dopey-sounding shoegazery stuff either, but I've been listening to this a lot.

To me the sound is like if Ariel Pink made a tribute to Dylan and the Stones in the style of the Pixies.
― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:42 (eleven years ago) link
sometimes the guitars even evoke the Voidoids, and that's heady territory for me
