You need to sign up for a Sub Pop account a shit, although I think it's free. NB I haven't tried to sign up or listen to the stream yet.

these guys are still just ok.
the "japanther is better" thing is funny and backs my sentiment as they were always just sort of ok as well but had the hype.
this all just makes me think of the locust. as in hype.

japanther are pretty good I think

the new EP is pretty solid. i agree with what's been said about the first and last songs on it. the other stuff is a bit harder to get into, but it reminds me a lot of what was compiled on weirdo rippers.
japanther are decent-- you can't really fault them for coming out after no age-- but their songs don't stick as well as no age's stuff does.

Japanther were out well before No Age, maybe you're thinking of Japandroids?

When the title track of the new ep finally kicks in on the final minute, it fucking RIPS. No Age's finest minute, I think, and I'll definitely be picking it up when it comes out even though the singing on the second track is off key in the kind of way that actually makes my hair stand up and my jaw jut out a little uncontrollably, in a bad bad way.

well kinda, they were shoegazy and reverby on the first lp. then dropped some of it on the second. and on halfway through a first drunken hearing it sounds like both albums are sort of squashed together.pretty good, but i'll defo wait until tomorrow to provide a concrete opinion.to be honest it sounds more like weirdo rippers than nouns, there are definite proper abstract songs. but also, there are the full on punk rawk tracks which i love.a gud ep.

but i for sure have a soft spot for these guys; regardless of the pitchfork hype. i love the hard drums with pop hooks. srsly fucking love that. can deal with the heavy reverb and think it adds something to the music, but am glad that its not all echoey and experimental...

two new songs on their myspace: "In Peril," which could almost be from Pink Flag if it didn't sound like No Age, scrappy and too short to only listen to once, and "Brett Schultz Himself," which I think shows the Disco Inferno influence they've been talking about.

★★★Glittter!!!★★★
kind of a let down in my o. Where's the energy, bros? I think the lackluster drum beat is the problem. It might grow on me though
you can also listen to "Inflorescence" at pitchfork, which isn't going to be on the album, but it is good. More like what I want from them.

Fever Dreaming absolutely killed when I saw them a few months ago. So much so that I actually remembered its existence when I heard this record and said "I remember this! It was good!"
― rope (lloydwabbitt), Monday, 30 August 2010 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link
kind of hated it through my laptop speakers. Loved it like lice like hair** through good speakers. the DI-esque parts* become the main show, and the guitar drums vox are like a cool breeze blowing through. But they sometimes play the main, actual "Song" parts (which likely take much longer to compose, but here take second stage) too long and you're like man, get me back to them 10's slacker jams (as blissed out/ducktails/washed out/run dmt/universalstudios etcetc's music shall henceforth be known(previously Post-Anco/chillwave). Like, get out of the breeze. The sun is so nice. But really it's all good. It moves me, physically. Physics and Feelings are closer than we sometimes realize. I don't like people who don't like this band.
Chem Trails should play of over the main credits of this decades' Do The Right Thing, a Tim & Eric joint.
*which have always been a part of their sound really, but now you're more aware of listening to a sample. and often the sample source as well. whereas before a guitar sounded like a seagull or a jet engine, here it sounds like a guitar, but still blissed to fuck and mbvvvv'ed beyond all mbveeeps.
**In that I feel like I'm crawling through it.
― Fellini.Kuti, Tuesday, 31 August 2010 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link
eh. you know, new one isn't half bad. i feel like they're continuing to sound more and more like a punk band instead of a punk band high on MBV. everything they've done has been functional without really moving me. the live score for that movie they soundtracked is honestly the most effecting thing i've heard from them - it might make my P&J top ten this year (seriously).

I don't understand this comment at all ... and I think they're sounding more like MBV as they go along. The new album feels a lot less frantic than "Nouns", and the second half is relatively mellow and not punk-y at all. And "Katerpillar" is easily the most MBV-ish thing they've ever done.
I really like this album though, but it's a lot less immediate than "Nouns".
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link
They are a great punk band. That's the thing. Nouns sounds like My Bloody Valentine plus Blitzkrieg Bop. This is Disco Inferno plus Blitzkrieg Bop. This band is just perfect to me. I'm enjoying their career trajectory far more than that of liars, who three records in found endless acclaim for what sounded then and now like a bunch of guys who couldn't really play getting by on a year of studio fiddling. Let it be known, I love studio fiddling; I love players who can't play, but No Age are blitz as shit and still fuck around in the studio. That's why I love this. No Age are Against Me! with a brain. Where other punk bands space out the barn burners with middling schlock (think Green Day's "21 Guns"), No Age realize that lyrics ain't what you came for, and that their noise can be just as compelling without the propulsion. It's punk for English MA students, or at least the ones who don't teach freshman comp because it would cut into their drinking time.
