I'm returning from a camping trip right now but I'll be home later tonight! Btw I think I included my email address in the ilx mail message? Maybe not, I can't remember.

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

Raymond Cummings, Monday, 6 May 2013 03:34 (eleven years ago) link

maybe i'll get there, i've only listened twice

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

Andrew Sandwich, Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:26 (eleven years ago) link

if we're going to do rock again these guys might be sensitive

Andrew Sandwich, Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:26 (eleven years ago) link

Andrew Sandwich, Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:27 (eleven years ago) link

idk seems like the same mistake Animal Collective made

Andrew Sandwich, Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:33 (eleven years ago) link

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

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:34 (eleven years ago) link

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.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:39 (eleven years ago) link

been meaning to revisit older stuff after this tbh

Andrew Sandwich, Thursday, 9 May 2013 20:39 (eleven years ago) link

Andrew Sandwich, Thursday, 9 May 2013 21:32 (eleven years ago) link

hah huh?

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

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 9 May 2013 22:11 (eleven years ago) link

this album rules!!!!!

kinda has a subway sect vibe

jay-z's ansari (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:35 (eleven years ago) link

i liked em ok before but this is so much more needed
there 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.

dschinghis kraan (NickB), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:40 (eleven years ago) link

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
