Dandy Warhols

Just learned that they have a song on one the albums I didn't pay attention to featuring Mark Knopfler and Mike Campbell.

they’re able to so easily fuse and carry out everything from sixties garage/frug to clipped new wave dance to zoned out shoegaze and back again and keep everything centered around all the hooks they have

i understand the hate that this band attracts, however, the fact is, they make records i really enjoy, and this sentence totally summises their range and appeal for me.

Unfortunately, the new album isn't very good IMO. There's nothing really there until 'Doves', the penultimate track, which is a worthy follow-up to 'Ride', lol

...but yeah, the rest...I don't really understand what they're going for

Haven't heard it yet. Saw someone raving about the greatness of a recent live show

Agreed, not very good. I'll have to listen to "Doves" again -- by the time it gets to that track I've pretty much tuned out so can't call that one up from memory. Actually thinking about it now I don't think I can call any of it up from memory other than "You Are Killing Me" after at least half a dozen plays. Sort of expected after four years they'd feel like they needed to prove something and would've done something more interesting. But maybe they're all living comfortably now and don't feel the need to prove anything? I don't know. Still would've been happy to see them last week if I could've made it to the show.

They were great live a few months back but this new album is very 'uh?' up there with the new Primal Scream. Essentially both are: "Well...you could do this, and you went ahead and did it, but why did you do it again?"

Oh yeah, that Primal Scream is a dud too.

Doves IS really good tho

it is hard to convey just how wrong the new album sounds. it genuinely feels like they're trying to create anti-music, but not in a particularly good way

stand by for my deciding it's somehow good at some point, but if this isn't good, it's just about the worst music ever made

id no idea they were still going tbh

i really want to hear what "the worst music ever made" sounds like

fire up spotify and enjoy

I thought the revive would be for this hot content everyone's been craving: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2019/jan/22/how-we-made-the-dandy-warhols-bohemian-like-you

Desperate Dan clickbait.

in the entire history of r'n'r, has there been anyone HALF as thirsty as Courtney Taylor?

maybe Ryan Adams
