lol, no I mean that voice she does on, e.g., Change, that sounds like she's just come to the door in a babushka scarf and wasn't expecting us but it's ok if we come in and have some candied fruit

I somehow didn't notice how flat she sings before I watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oODr-7y3M0

guys, I hate to be the ultimate buzzkill – but I was trying to figure out which Big '80s song the "Little Things" chord progression reminded me of (something by Peter Gabriel? Bruce Hornsby?), and finally realized... it's Toto's "Africa" ;-D

some Sarah Brand moments there xp

She looks/sounds a little exhausted there imo.

africa is a jam, more bands should borrow from africa

Sarah Brand comparison? I might need to have a lie down.

xp The whole band looks/sounds a little wiped out in that clip...

Yeah, I thought it just looked like they were wiped out after being on the road for awhile.

What's that "chord" that Buck Meek seems to play so often, e.g. on the first song on that video - Shoulders - at around the 58 second mark?
― Duke, Monday, 11 October 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link
Stretching over 5 or 6 frets
― Duke, Monday, 11 October 2021 21:46 (two years ago) link
Dunno why I put the word chord in inverted commas. It'll be a chord of some kind.
― Duke, Monday, 11 October 2021 21:47 (two years ago) link
Now I've heard there was a secret chordThat Buck Meek played, and it pleased the board

That so-called chord

I'd say he's either barring in a A major shape with his pointer finger on and then playing melodic lines off that with his remaining fingers, or he's in an alternate tuning that has necessitated a big stretch.
But judging by chords he plays later in the piece, he's in standard tuning.

it looks like he's doing a big stretch to grab two notes that are 5 frets apart. i doubt it's a full chord.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 13:25 (two years ago) link
that note could be played on a higher string without the stretch, so i think its either easier for him to pick or he's just showing off. i think it's the latter but it's OK cuz it's subtle and he rules

After watching that live video, she sounds under the note to me a lot of the time on studio recordings as well, though, if not as strongly. It's not even a bad thing, necessarily, just something I hadn't noticed. I like a lot of singers who bend pitch.

Couple friends of mine saw him in a coffee shop the morning of a show here, before pitchfork. He ordered an XL magnum size

Looks like Consequence of Sound published, and then deleted, a promo piece on the new album yesterday?
― juristic person (morrisp), Thursday, 11 November 2021 03:17 (two years ago) link
there was a pre-save link for the album that lead to that article which is gone too
seems like album announcement & "time escaping" are coming in the next week
& album title is dragon new warm mountain i believe in you releasing on feb 11 as previously leaked
― ufo, Thursday, 11 November 2021 04:16 (two years ago) link
"time escaping" coming in the next week
if this is true... the "most wonderful time of the year" is coming early!
― juristic person (morrisp), Thursday, 11 November 2021 06:01 (two years ago) link
yeah there was a pre-save link for "time escaping" that got dug up too & it apparently indicated a release next week
― ufo, Thursday, 11 November 2021 06:17 (two years ago) link
That's good news, I hope we don't have to wait too much longer! I'm surprised by how much I'm anticipating this record.

The bass playing on "Not" is an underrated feature of "Not"
