Listening to this for the first time right now and fuck am I grinning at how fucking great this is. This is what I need right now. This, and wine.

still can't get over the most recent one.
"integral accident" feels very "einstein on the beach" at times.

the mazey design thing on the album cover is a buncha Hs & Ls, right? Ls in the corner and Hs on the sides? right? this is a thought I had while staring at the album cover and pondering the design choice and listening to this. it's very good. "born under punches" works well on a playlist immediately after "fanfare for effective freedom" just fyi

huh, they've got some wacky stuff going on with their frets there, I see. reckon these lads have read a book or two about music theory and whatnot

I'm a sucker for some mictrotonal guitar action. These guys, King Gizzard, Noura Mint Seymali, who else am I missing?

Ahleuchatistas' Arrebato album from a few years back, for starters!
― calzino, Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:07 (three years ago) link
xp Mdou Moctar?
― howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:10 (three years ago) link
that band with the long name that imago likes?
― howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link
Lol, that describes most bands imago likes.
I'm checking these out, thanks!
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:13 (three years ago) link
Immediately liking the Ahleuchatistas record. Some pretty string similarities to Horse Lords so far, but also getting Tortoise, Battles, and King Crimson in the mix.
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:18 (three years ago) link
it's a tremendous album
― calzino, Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:24 (three years ago) link
Ah yes, I think I've heard Mdou Moctar before, good stuff
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Thursday, 22 October 2020 22:57 (three years ago) link
also Harry Partch of course! not rock by any means, but great.
― howls of non-specificity (sleeve), Thursday, 22 October 2020 23:00 (three years ago) link
Weirdly, the thing this Mdou Moctar album reminds me of the most is Weld era Neil Young

"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for an independent band to record a new album, generally the proceeds from touring the previous album are more than enough to pay for it. As the 1-year anniversary of our last album approaches, we find ourselves bursting with new, recordable material, but when we consult the touring ledger are assaulted by dust, cobwebs, tumbleweeds, and find with horror that our accountant is a skeleton! There was of course no tour last year—we have no money!
Fear not, beloved reader, you your beautiful self may be in a position to help! We are appealing to the generosity of our fans (which history has shown to be great) to finance what will be our ninth release, and any bit you can spare will be very meaningful. Any donation over $50 will get you a "free" copy of the record! We're grateful beyond words for your support over the years and into the future, many thanks in advance."

Who else here helped to crowdfund this one? I haven’t heard a peep before I saw this link.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Tuesday, 30 August 2022 15:59 (one year ago) link
Oh nice, last record ruled I imagine this one will too. Interested to see just how far they can stretch the sound.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:19 (one year ago) link
Had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't "Step On" by the Happy Mondays when I first heard the new track! Sounds good though, looking forward to the record. It was crowdfunded? Where?
― Position Position, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link
Ooh! That sounds v appealing. I need to listen to this immediately I think Also did not know about crowdfunding
― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Tuesday, 30 August 2022 18:15 (one year ago) link
Love an instrumental band that can create compelling music this consistently. I’m always happy to hear whatever HL has to offer, so far at least.

Oh shit ... I forgot I contributed to the crowdfunding. Thanks for the reminder, MacDara.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 18:42 (one year ago) link
ha, i crowdfunded also but completely forgot. love this track, gets almost poppy but still sounds like them. they're amazing in how they can push and warp their 'formula' for lack of a better word
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 20:10 (one year ago) link
Yeah well said global. One thing I love about the band is that the changes happen in the racks but often in ways that are hard to anticipate/pin down. They just kind of morph and shift from one place to another throughout so they act kind if like little journeys and not "songs" (verses, choruses, breaks etc.). I really love some of the guitar runs in this one in particular.
