heard this today for the first time, i know it's not quite there (nowhere near murky enough) but i think this is the closest thing i've heard to 'snoopy'?

Saw that they have a new mix here:https://crackmagazine.net/article/mixprofile/cs-kreme/
those wacky noises at the start meant I couldn't listen to more than two minutes of this, just too distracting :(
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 18 February 2021 08:40 (three years ago) link
that track ends about five minutes in, if you just want to skip it

oh man i used to have that rocket girl box set - some real clunkers on there, but that track and about half of the rest is decent
just had a look and the box set has the track with the offside lyrics that go: "the gallagher brothers masquerading around town as genuises/like beatlemania with tiny penises"

"Where did tiny penises go"

wow the vinyl copy i got (repress i think) sounds like absolute dogshit. a muddy mess. A/B'ing with a 320kbps mp3 is like night and day. trilogy tapes is kind of a stupid label but i've never gotten something that sounds this bad from them before. major drag.
― adam, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:06 (three years ago) link
especially with like 12 minutes of music per side
my copy sounds great.
trilogy tapes is kind of a stupid label
what is stupid about them?
― stirmonster, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
put some text on your dang lps so i know what side is what! especially on a double lp. i feel very strongly about this. the rezzett 2lp has 4 blank silver labels!
there is enough uncertainty in life i don't need expensive imported techno mysteries. tho i understand this might be appealing to others
― adam, Thursday, 25 February 2021 16:26 (three years ago) link
ha ha. i can't argue with that.
a friend bought the repress too so i'll ask them how their copy sounds.

Fans of CS + Kreme might be interested in the debut album from fellow Australian YL Hooi.

There's something up with those Aussies and I for one am loving it. You've also got the likes of Carla dal Forno, HTRK, F Ingers and Tarquin Manek working in this kinda zone as well. Won't be too long before they're giving this sound it's own name and everything.
― paolo, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 13:28 (three years ago) link
Yeah the YL Hooi album is good, as was this set: https://www.nts.live/shows/guests/episodes/yl-hooi-19th-february-2021

anyone seen them live? i have no concept if they're like playing instruments or fiddling with laptops or what, and there are no live videos on youtube
― na (NA), Wednesday, 30 March 2022 20:14 (two years ago) link
my entirely ungrounded guess/hope is that it'd be live bass w/ processing and electronics

If I'm going out I want to see *someone* whispering ominously about blueberries into a mic

CS is of course already a long time standing, most consummate stage performer, so it will be interesting to see if he brings any of that to this. i'm guessing more subdued may be the way here though.
― stirmonster, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 22:18 (two years ago) link
Definitely going to the Philly date.

I've been listening to this album Chances by new band Acopia, and thinking "wow this is basically a female-fronted (and marginally more energetic) CS + Kreme" - and lol of course they are from Melbourne.

Though actually the first point of comparison that occurred to me was Earwig / Insides

yeh very nice album that, looking foward to some springtime listens
― nxd, Tuesday, 5 April 2022 23:37 (two years ago) link
two songs in, really enjoying this Acopia album, makes me think of what if Carla Dal Forno embraced her pop side
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 6 April 2022 15:42 (two years ago) link
Enjoying it! Some of it is very HTRK e.g. 'Toxic Traits'
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Wednesday, 6 April 2022 16:45 (two years ago) link
other thing that Acopia reminded me of was Bowery Electric circa 'Freedom Fighter'

ace, though not sure i am free the night they play here :(

ugh I'm away for their London date. failed to go to seem them in Feb 2020 and regretted it ever since.
― toby, Monday, 11 April 2022 21:26 (two years ago) link
i'll be at the brooklyn show for sure

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

they’re playing tonight at café oto in london but i can’t make it :(

i'm going to see them tomorrow. going to see jah shaka too, though sadly it's not a double bill.
― stirmonster, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:01 (two years ago) link
I'm going tomorrow too! Am very excited.

how was it?
― boxedjoy, Friday, 10 June 2022 20:17 (two years ago) link
It was excellent. A few 'hits' and lots of new music. I really like The Old Hairdressers generally but think they might have benefitted from playing somewhere with a slightly better sound system. They might be back at the end of the year.
― stirmonster, Friday, 10 June 2022 20:46 (two years ago) link
saw them last night in chicago, they sounded great. it was a pretty small show (i overheard a staffer say there were 65 tickets sold), but it was also at an unusual venue (the international museum of surgical science) so there may have been capacity limitations. they mentioned that they had played to 6 people in iowa city the other night
― na (NA), Friday, 17 June 2022 13:46 (one year ago) link
What was the instrumentation?
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 17 June 2022 14:46 (one year ago) link
one dude doing electronics (laptop/keyboard/something with twisty knobs) the whole time, the other dude alternating between playing bass/singing and using some kind of sequencer, depending on the song
― na (NA), Friday, 17 June 2022 14:49 (one year ago) link
lol sorry that's so vague. i didn't go up and look at their gear table.
― na (NA), Friday, 17 June 2022 14:50 (one year ago) link
if you still follow me on instagram there's a short dark video of them playing on there
― na (NA), Friday, 17 June 2022 14:51 (one year ago) link
I'll check it out!
I think they actually played two shows at a cafe in Iowa City? I was almost audience member #7 but didn't come up with something else to do on a mini-vacation and wasn't going to drive two hours each way for just the show
― mh, Friday, 17 June 2022 15:09 (one year ago) link
I saw the London show which was very good, but they certainly left the fans wanting more - it was only a 45 minute set.
