love sketches from an island so much i seriously considered paying 30 pounds + shipping for the t-shirt

^ the 'birds of paradise' one was super sick but it sold out like right away :(((
― dude (Lamp), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:30 (nine years ago) link
it was in my cart for a brief moment, but jfc @ that price
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:46 (nine years ago) link
beautiful cover though
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link
a hundred pounds for the two t-shirts + a sweatshirt was justifiable to me although attempting to defend it now on a messageboard i cant remember why it seemed so reasonable
― dude (Lamp), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 18:50 (nine years ago) link
lol i understand the impulse, i wouldn't wear a lot of things on a t-shirt but totally down to rep ifeel
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 16 July 2014 19:08 (nine years ago) link
fwiw i have never regretted spending a ton of money on my Studio t-shirt.

Echoing the adulation for the Young Marco album.

Here to do the same. Found it on Spotify yesterday and just completed my 5th time through. So good. Need this on vinyl immediately.

Last track on the Mark Barrott beats in space mix really caught me unawares, even Tim S let it fade out w/o the obligatory chat. Lump in the throat stuff. Obv a check of the track list shows it's Sacred Islands, the closer to his album. Instant classic for me.

Only got the chance to listen to half the Mark Barrott album this morning but 'Deep Water' is incredible, it's like the intro to Halcyon + On + On stretched out over six minutes.
― Matt DC, Friday, 18 July 2014 08:47 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I think it's CD/vinyl only unless you got a digital copy from iTunes

Debut album from Manchester's Horsebeach is out next week and the bits I've heard sound really good. Kind of a Durutti Column/Studio in post punk modeflavour to some of the tracks

loving those, but it might need to get shelved until september, def more autumnal vibes than summery

The whole album is streaming on Soundcloud now. This track's ace:

Damn, this Horsebeach is hitting all of my pleasure zones. Thanks for the tip.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 21 July 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link
Yep, love this so much I just pre-ordered the LP. I could listen to this sound all day (and today, I think I will).
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 21 July 2014 17:49 (nine years ago) link
incredible stuff but i agree with gr80 on the autumnal vibe

I should note that Young Marco killed it at Dekmantel Festival over the weekend. Great vibes and perfect weather as well.

Slow on this but the Nautic EP is pretty pleasant in a drifty kind of way. Singer is Laura Groves fka Blue Roses

"its like if the band Real Estate were simultaneously more beach AND more gothy" -- me describing horsebeach to a friend
It's not really dance-y, but the new Roisin Murphy mini-lp of Italian covers is super chill and was partially recorded in Ibiza. Recommended. Maybe on more of a sebastien tellier trip but man it's good.
― brimstead, Tuesday, 16 September 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
horsebeach type stuff is prob as "indie" as my listening habits get these days, i kinda prefer the embassy to horsebeach but they're both better than the crepes

Just bought the Bar album after reading this Testpressing write up:

Sounding great so far and only £3.86 for the entire album over on Juno if you use the code DANCE20:

but i am really enjoying the new riton album - eine kleine nacht musik.
this album still works for me, certainly a lot more than the usual riton groove ..
time he made a follow up to this.

Updating to say that after having the LP for a month or so, and listening on Spotify a bunch, this Horsebeach album is def. hitting the top 3 in my Album of the Year list.
