JOHN DOE - UNDERGROUND

Oh my god I just heard this on last week's Peel and just sat there, open-mouthed, the whole way through - fucking WOW. It could have maybe been the schmindieish context but it just sounded so HUGE, this monstrous-subtle machine that just grew and pulsed and grew and when it went quiet for the breakdown I thought it was ending and I was sitting there awestruck and then when it came back in even bigger and fresher and crueler I nearly cried.

Then I reloaded the show to listen to again straight after it'd finished and they'd updated the link to this week's show and I couldn't hear it.

I will regret this thread when I have listened to this 459037603 more times and think it's okay.

I'm going to see him on Friday.. I can't wait to hear it. Glad to hear (someone, at least) endorse it ...

Just phoned the record label - it's out on Monday apparently (and a d-side, inexplicably!).

Where is he playing?

I'm seeing him in columbus... Marcy Mays opening - surprise bonus...

The first record I've bought the day it came out since Legal Man (and we all know how that turned out...)

Still sounds amazing.

Senses as strobepatches and sweat and pink and things in the air, not even really as music yet.
