Hadn't heard any of this and would like to thank anyone who voted for it because it rules and is extremely my shit
― devvvine, Thursday, 2 February 2017 21:39 (seven years ago) link
Yeah this album rules. I've been digging this one's 1984 Van Halen vibes lately

Great clip. Santos seems a little unsure in the first song but ends up delivering better than I've seen in any other clips. Guitarist and drummer are dead-on. How long has this drummer been with them? I don't think she was on the album? (And, apparently, they could explain Dream Theatre to us! Or at least the guitarist could.)

Yeah Elaiza kills it, really annoyed i missed them in the UK. Think the she just covered this tour for the usual drummer who plays in LVL UP as well.

Glad to see the guitarist is a fan of The Go! Team.

Just hearing them for the first time today but heard the name from friends...awesome stuff!

I remember when Barry Johnson of Joyce Manor raved about Crying, pre-BTFG. I checked out their bandcamp and all I heard was this 8-bit emo band. I was so confused. But this new album is perfect, definitely one of my favorites of 2016. Get Olde Second Wind is still pretty unlistenable tho
― Handsome Bookor, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 13:28 (seven years ago) link
Ha, I even like some of that one OK. Beyond the Fleeting Gales was a major step up, though.

Played "Revive" for my co-worker and he said it was "refreshing" and seemed notably jazzed

hey, this is pretty good
― Balðy Daudrs (contenderizer), Thursday, 23 March 2017 00:59 (seven years ago) link
I only listened to this after the year-end poll, and I liked it but I had a hard time placing it. That's not a bad thing, I just wasn't really sure what I was hearing. Watching the live clip is helpful, because it made me think of Marnie Stern. These guys are sort of similarly adrift, indie prog or whatever you want to call them. She's talented. Will need to explore more.

"i hear perfume" would be a good way to describe this band even if I didn't understand it as a reference & interpreted the words literally
― bernard snowy, Thursday, 23 March 2017 14:41 (seven years ago) link
yesterday, this was pretty good. today, three listens later, it's the best album i've heard in ages. love everything about it (except the merely good bass playing and the softer "indie" vocals, maybe). memorable songs, hilarious range of winks & influences, killer keys & guitar, powerhouse vocalist, and zero flab. last four tracks are especially great.
― Balðy Daudrs (contenderizer), Thursday, 23 March 2017 19:09 (seven years ago) link
yah the closing run is incredible
they could do with a full-time bassist though maybe yeah, especially live

that doesn't quite come together but i'm not sure if it's just the guitar being way too low in the mix

I dreamed about this album last night

the beat shift in the chorus is weird but imo that cover is great

av club commenters extremely unimpressed
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 16:07 (six years ago) link
yeah not sure what they were going for on the feel change in the chorus--felt like one or more of the band members didn't understand what was going on.
love the verses tho

this is a really excellent little project, offering a poppier, smoother take on crying's chiptune wall of sound. i hope these two can get together for a full-length.

was checking in on what they've been up to and the guitarist/songwriter put out this collaborative single last year
don't see any reason to ever expect a second album though unfortunately, maybe eventually one of his other projects will put out a new album
