For some reason I thought this record was supposed to come out in the end of August, so having to wait until the end of November for this is gonna be agonizing

Yeah, I ordered the LP plus cassette and signed card package.
Almost went the t-shirt as well. Mainly because, um, its a nice t-shirt.

but then i'm always most mesmerized when they make straight up r&b tracks
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 September 2018 12:39 (five years ago) link
oh my god this band really can do anything can't they

hello d'angelo dragging beat

cool that it automatically plays on a loop, i think i'll leave it like that till noon
― lowercase (eric), Thursday, 13 September 2018 13:55 (five years ago) link
beautiful sax playing.

basically all of the elements of "if i believe you" in the service of a different but related vibe
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 September 2018 14:06 (five years ago) link
iirc there's supposed to be more of this vibe on the album, they mentioned that Mine is a 'jazzy lounge' track in one interview
― ufo, Thursday, 13 September 2018 14:08 (five years ago) link
a less dramatic version of "if i believe you", i suppose.i'm playing it on a loop.
― Nourry, Thursday, 13 September 2018 14:11 (five years ago) link
it's maybe a little too obviously a sequel of "if i believe you" but given that that's the best song of all time i am not complaining

This one is probably my favorite out of the four new songs.

questlove on the drums or?

November 30 seems so far away.

I get why people are referencing "if I believe you" but this has a totally different feel for me, it's much more live-sessiony in a way that stands in contrast to IIBY's studio perfection, more jazzy, I fuck with it tho. that said I'm surprised it's made such an immediate impression on a couple of true heads itt, seems like more of a slow burner
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 September 2018 21:28 (five years ago) link
I almost wish this band would make a bad song so they'd be more relatable or something
on spotify now btw
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 September 2018 21:35 (five years ago) link
do they have any songs that are 'bad'? I can't think of any I totally dislike
― k3vin k., Thursday, 13 September 2018 21:36 (five years ago) link
only songs i didn't at least like on contact were "loving someone" and "she way out" and turns out they're both good
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 September 2018 22:15 (five years ago) link
some of the EP songs aren't their best maybe but basically no
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 13 September 2018 22:48 (five years ago) link
eric otm with the d'angelo reference.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Thursday, 13 September 2018 23:32 (five years ago) link
i have 0 problem with them doing more songs like If I Believe You and showing they can be a fantastic r&b band if they really want to be anytime, and the brass arrangement is even better here. not as funny as If I Believe You but what else is?
― ufo, Friday, 14 September 2018 00:40 (five years ago) link
at the risk of turricanism, how is this band not named the 1985
― mookieproof, Friday, 14 September 2018 01:02 (five years ago) link
I would have been into this band probably a year earlier if they were called the 1985 though now I kind of like their name
New song has a great vibe, though the hook didn't get me the first listen. Suspect this is one that will grow on me
― Vinnie, Friday, 14 September 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link
I really liked "Sex" when it came out, but since then, I haven't found any reason to be interested in these guys, so I'm kind of surprised to find myself loving "TooTimeTooTimeTooTime" so much, annoying title aside. My latest favourite entry in whatever we want to call the genre that also (to my ears) encompasses Chvrches, MUNA, Kristen Control and things like that. And yeah, the video is a delight, too.
― Engles in the Outfield (cryptosicko), Monday, 17 September 2018 23:21 (five years ago) link
*Kristin Kontrol
(half of that was autocorrect's fault; the rest was all me)

I'm just pissed offBecause you pied me off

i cant believe no one mentioned DILLA thats what it sounds like more than dangelo (obviously some overlap there but)
the staggered groove is a total

actually this one more

― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:32 (five years ago) link
yeah, questlove's drumming on Voodoo was all dilla-inspired, so they're both apt comparisons. The horns on it are very D'Angelo, too, so I think that's where a lot of the comparison comes from
i'm also proud to say that i didn't get Sincerity is Scary at all when i first heard it but now i absolutely love it
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 03:43 (five years ago) link
the horns are very roy hargrove who was used on a number of soulquarian projects helmed by dilla, Common's 'Like Water For Chocolate" is actually what came to mind for me first

i think matty mentioned dilla by name when talking about the drums on this song on twitter recently

the writer calling the album "snowflake computer" is the worst thing that's ever happened to me but this is a really good interview https://www.nme.com/nme-big-read-1975-2018-2382050-2

how are we feeling about the Pale Waves album?
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 22 September 2018 13:37 (five years ago) link
i was not really sold on most of the pale waves singles but the album is pretty solid. they have a tendency to write the same sort of hooks over and over again though, album could have been trimmed a bit.
― ufo, Monday, 8 October 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link
that's basically how I felt about it - it's too long and there's two songs that share the exact same melody - but I still have a tremendous amount of goodwill towards them

Matty continues to describe Notes as their 'UK nighttime album' influenced by Burial so i'm even more excited for that than i am for A Brief Enquiry
― ufo, Saturday, 13 October 2018 05:00 (five years ago) link
"narcissist" is kind of amazing
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 October 2018 01:47 (five years ago) link
i'd imagine matty is very jealous he didn't write this song (assuming he didn't)
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 October 2018 01:48 (five years ago) link
he co-wrote and co-produced it
