something about Japanese Alice that reminds of Clientele in the best possible way

Hrm I hear "for love" by lush in Japanese Alice.

Nope. That was a real high point for me.

Album has a nice Supertramp vibe to it.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Saturday, 20 February 2016 19:31 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, so having listened to the whole album twice now, I find it pleasant but mostly forgettable. :/
― jaymc, Saturday, 20 February 2016 22:17 (eight years ago) link
It's better than Gemini but not Nocturne.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Saturday, 20 February 2016 22:26 (eight years ago) link
agreed
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 February 2016 22:39 (eight years ago) link
this has grown on me in the past couple days, solid record. still much prefer nocturne though
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 February 2016 14:03 (eight years ago) link
Also, as much as I like it (listened to it probably a dozen times it is not what I expected the record to sound like after Empty Estate?
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 22 February 2016 15:23 (eight years ago) link
probably a dozen times over the weekend... that should have read.
enjoying this new "shallow water" song
this guy is still my favorite Unremarkable Indie Pop act going
― ciderpress, Sunday, 12 August 2018 21:50 (five years ago) link
I still have a lot of time for Nocturne and the Empty Estate EP. The last album had some great moments too, although was a bit uneven on the whole. I can't get into Gemini much.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 12 August 2018 21:53 (five years ago) link
Nocturne is great
― Abomination Street (Ross), Sunday, 12 August 2018 21:57 (five years ago) link
I adore the golden haze ep

Life of Pause ended up being my favorite of his, and the new tracks are super promising.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 August 2018 03:23 (five years ago) link
yeah "letting go" is real good too and "partners in motion" has a nice groove
― ciderpress, Monday, 13 August 2018 03:27 (five years ago) link
When the mid 80s were over, I really missed the guitar sound in "Partners in Motion" (and in places on the Tornado Wallace album from last year) and I'm overjoyed it's finally okay to make a guitar sound like that again—because it wasn't for a very long time, unless you were recording elevator music.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 August 2018 03:31 (five years ago) link
its just chorus and reverb i think
― ciderpress, Monday, 13 August 2018 03:44 (five years ago) link
There's something really crystalline and compressed about it beyond chorus.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 August 2018 03:47 (five years ago) link
sounds like they've been having a good listen to Songs from the Big Chair
― com rad erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 13 August 2018 03:55 (five years ago) link
there's still a few songs left in that chair
― ciderpress, Monday, 13 August 2018 03:57 (five years ago) link
I'd assumed these were all leading up to an album, but cool! It comes out on the 31st!

i like that cover art, though i'll always enjoy the life of pause one for looking to me like he's sitting inside a set from a Myst game
― ciderpress, Monday, 13 August 2018 05:28 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I like that cover art too... would have made a great vinyl sleeve circa 1983-1984.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 13 August 2018 13:30 (five years ago) link
jorge elbrecht produced this new one
― calstars, Monday, 13 August 2018 13:36 (five years ago) link
xp according to photo on the Bandcamp page, the shape on the front is a transparent window.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 August 2018 15:01 (five years ago) link
Every time I listen to the Empty Estate EP, I find myself wishing he'd expanded that to a full length.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Monday, 13 August 2018 17:58 (five years ago) link
It is a full length what the hell are you talking about
― fields of salmon, Friday, 24 August 2018 01:53 (five years ago) link

This is probably why I am really feeling this new album

It's an EP, not an LP - I would have thought that was apparent.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 2 September 2018 08:45 (five years ago) link
Sounds like the new one is going to be right up my street!
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Sunday, 2 September 2018 08:47 (five years ago) link
really enjoying this so far. it feels like he took lessons from Life Of Pause (which i wasn't super into and he, from interviews, doesn't sound like he quite was either) and just applies those sophistipop tendencies to his usual soundscapey popcraft.
― austinb, Monday, 3 September 2018 01:39 (five years ago) link
yeah this is good

Haven’t checked the new album yet, but he did a list of album influences on Vulture that makes me think he may lurk here

The new one is basically Nocturne II, but the songwriting isn't anywhere near as consistent in terms of quality and while the production on Nocturne helped his vocals to blend in with the music unobtrusively, here I can't take my mind off the fact that Tatum is a weak singer.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Thursday, 11 October 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
this one hasn't clicked with me yet, I ended up loving the last one after multiple listens though

it took a while but 'wheel of misfortune' grew into my fav from this one. that main riff is sublime
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 04:52 (five years ago) link
nice little EP out called "laughing gas"
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 4 February 2020 14:18 (four years ago) link
i like the new one. no prefab sprout-isms like the last one but there's some great stuff on here. last track is probably my favorite
