haha I saw this thread when I was searching for stuff that might have been relevant to the Hotel Blodel thread.
I nominate "Midnight Aspen".

Their cover of Victoria is way more melodic than most of the other stuff they do

"Bonkers In Phoenix" is probably up there in my all-time favorite songs.
I think it stands alone with "Hotel", but somewhat similar Fall songs would be "Vixen" or "Paintwork". There's a lot of sound-collage type stuff on Levitate and the overall feel of The 27 Points live album too.

title of thread needs to be amended to 'are there any other songs like Bonkers In Phoenix' because if there are I would like to hear them

^^that is also very, very good and surprisingly melancholy - PBL is unfuckwithable

I always thought "Hurricane Edward" had a similar vibe to "Bonkers In Phoenix".

Even though it's (kinda) a cover, Ibis Afro-Man sort of qualifies.

except there isn't a massive great pop song lurking beneath, also the quality of the bleeping is different; BIP's is much flashier (i'd say 'splatterful'), HE's grimier and more mystical, and its drumming is pure atavistic fury - the whole song is black magic
HE is probably one of my 3 or 4 favourite Fall songs, though, so we're talking about two pieces of music i'm deeply engaged with - perhaps superficially there's a shared vibe
listened to Ibis Afro-Man on 2G+1 and it's freaking awesome - album version is quite lol but i need to get into it more

2G+2, even

Not crazy about Ibis tbh, but it does feel like a "hmm let's throw a Bonkers In Phoenix type thing on here" warmed-over kind of dish.

anyway i just realised the answer is Midwatch 1953, and it's AWESOME
