Hey man, that’s some of my very favorite kind of music! For real. It’s just, I associate that stuff with drag city more than sub pop

I have always remembered this post, from the “old days” – it struck me as audaciously perfect at the time. I still think of it when this band comes up.

i still think it's one of 2018's most underrated great albums. i see literally no one nowhere talking about it.
― alpine static, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 14:35 (five years ago) link
definitely one of my top albums this year.
― campreverb, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 17:14 (five years ago) link
this is lame but i didn't listen to it earlier this year because it wasn't on spotify and i didn't see it in any of the other usual places (bandcamp, npr first listen or whatever). but it's there now (guess drag city had a change of heart), so i finally listened to it last night! the energy of it reminds me of Everything In Between, which was one of my favorite albums of 2010 (and one of the more underrated releases of the decade, i think).
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 17:51 (five years ago) link
Yes to Everywhere In Between being a top rock album of the decade.
I'm not sure why this new one isn't getting more buzz. It's fantastic, and Send Me is easily one of my favorite songs of the year.
― kornrulez6969, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 18:07 (five years ago) link
feel like No Age sorta feel thru the cracks. the indie press that championed them in 2008 don't care anymore and they never broke thru to a higher level. I don't think they ever established a solid fan base that would be with them no matter what. I saw them at a warehouse here in 2008 and it was packed, dangerously overcrowded even, and only five years later it was basically empty just a few weeks after An Object came out (fwiw I think that's their unsung masterpiece).
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 18:31 (five years ago) link
Snares is their best since Nouns. Top 5 of the year. I think I like it better than Everything In Between.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 21 November 2018 20:03 (five years ago) link
this is lame but i didn't listen to it earlier this year because it wasn't on spotifylame but true for me too
glad to see it's there now!
it would seem that their style/genre is... not really in vogue

It's interesting looking at their discogs, where cost of the vinyl is somewhat indicative of a band's cult following. It also has to do with the amount of copies out in the wild of course, but usually the record that corresponds to a band's peak will hold on to some value and it seems sellers can't even get rid of Nouns.
Their style may not be the hottest thing for the current indie crowds but it doesn't feel as dated as some other yelpy indie-punk trends of the past, or much less some other style that was once big like freak folk etc.
― Evan, Monday, 28 January 2019 16:04 (five years ago) link
Side note: I would LOVE to hear the guitarist try his best to make music similar to Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. I think he'd be great at it!
― Evan, Monday, 28 January 2019 16:36 (five years ago) link
yeah that's what confuses me, it's not dated at all, they're a great rock band with great songs. the light incorporation of electronics is distinct from p much every other band of their era bc they never sounded like they were using samplers to sound like animal collective

I do like this song. That write-up is accurate in noting it sounds like Parquet Courts (in a good way).

'Snares' might be my favourite No Age album. I also loved Randy's Sound Field project from last year - one of the best pure ambient albums I've enjoyed in recent times. I don't think I know anyone else who's listened to it, though.

i kind of check in and out on this band but the vocals on the new one sound weird to me, like really dry and up front. have they been doing that for a while or is it new on this album?
― na (NA), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:28 (four years ago) link
tbh i think the vocals have always been a sticking point for me with no age, even though i love a lot of singers with "bad" voices
― na (NA), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 14:29 (four years ago) link
I like the new one, though feel like it hits its stride with the last three tracks. Which is kind of the opposite of 'Snares' for me. Need to spend more time with it.
