thank you for connecting "in the water" to talk talk
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:17 (seven years ago) link
album generally has catherine wheel adam & eve vibes i think
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:21 (seven years ago) link
"can't get it out" is like they wrote another "1996" just for me
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:55 (seven years ago) link
yeah this is def their eeriest album, funny how the one-off singles ("mene" and "I am a nightmare") sound like headfakes now
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 22:49 (seven years ago) link
I appreciate how idiosyncratic the sequencing is, bookended by two extended drifters with lots of little peaks and valleys in between
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link
agreed re: eeriest album, which, daisy was already extremely eerie
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:19 (seven years ago) link
I can't begin to think what the single will be, if there is one? I guess "can't get it out" is most obvious but I'd go with an edit of "in the water"
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:25 (seven years ago) link
also I can't help but think that Devil's Tower would have been a cooler and more fitting name for this record
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:28 (seven years ago) link
i like thinking it's a ornette coleman reference
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:30 (seven years ago) link
this is still the best band ever
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:34 (seven years ago) link
"desert" is such a sick little song
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 18 August 2017 00:37 (seven years ago) link
i am unsure of how necessary it was to write a song from the perspective of a homophobic preacher but it sure adds to the post-apocalyptic vibe
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 18 August 2017 00:45 (seven years ago) link
yeah that and "451" are a nice double hit of dark western vibes
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 18 August 2017 01:04 (seven years ago) link
when describing this album to a friend i compared it to juno's a future lived in past tense. idk if it's that good but it's the sound of a great band stretching allllll the way out
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 18 August 2017 03:22 (seven years ago) link
haha you have friends who have heard that album??
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 18 August 2017 10:38 (seven years ago) link
lol yep it's my friend's favorite album of all time
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 18 August 2017 14:24 (seven years ago) link
nice
this album is crystallizing for me nicely, I don't see myself wearing it out anytime soon. I'm so glad they're back.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 18 August 2017 14:47 (seven years ago) link
it's the sound of a great band stretching allllll the way out
I think they can go even further and I hope they do cause this rules. "In the Water" might be my new favorite BN song
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 18 August 2017 19:12 (seven years ago) link
how does one hear this record
― k3vin k., Friday, 18 August 2017 20:09 (seven years ago) link
u can buy it or torrent it. i'm not sure it's streaming anywhere.
― Mordy, Friday, 18 August 2017 20:10 (seven years ago) link
i feel like some of these tracks belong in new twin peaks
things are extremely shitty rn and my lord i needed this record
― extremely amy dunne voice (slothroprhymes), Friday, 18 August 2017 20:47 (seven years ago) link
loving this so far, 2 listens in and not ready to talk specifics yet really.
― Spottie, Friday, 18 August 2017 21:04 (seven years ago) link
Man, the run of Same Logic -> 137 -> Out of Mana is so great.
― devvvine, Saturday, 19 August 2017 00:26 (seven years ago) link
this is on tidal and apple music (but not yet on spotify) for anyone holding out for streaming
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 August 2017 15:31 (seven years ago) link
now on spotify also!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 19 August 2017 21:48 (seven years ago) link
"same logic" has like.,.at least two choruses
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 August 2017 23:24 (seven years ago) link
i'm really enjoying this, the sustained eeriness feels very the moon & antarctica
― ufo, Sunday, 20 August 2017 01:33 (seven years ago) link
That's a good comaprison actually - it even shares some of the same folksy DNA
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 20 August 2017 01:33 (seven years ago) link
lonesome/moon-era modest mouse i feel are models here down to the record's length and how it's probably a good record to drive at night to
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Sunday, 20 August 2017 01:50 (seven years ago) link
I can attest to that it also sounds very, very good on long walks in the city.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 20 August 2017 02:44 (seven years ago) link
jesse was a big modest mouse fan back when i used to follow BN
― k3vin k., Sunday, 20 August 2017 03:22 (seven years ago) link
some of the guitar parts on the devil & god felt very modest mouse but this album goes further in that direction
same logic/teeth through to in the water is a fantastic run of tracks
