The Classic Interpol sound is great, terrible lyrics excluded. Turn on the bright lights owns in every way.

FactsAreUseless posted:So Deep Time have apparently dropped off the face of the earth, which is a shame, because they were seriously good. I was hoping they'd release another album and maybe get more attention, but I guess I can resign myself to being the guy in 20 years talking about how good this obscure indie band were. This is how I feel about Land of Talk.

I think Our Love to Admire is a solid album that has a lot of good tracks on it. It seems like most people seem to forget about it for whatever reason.

Has anyone seen St Vincent's tour for the new album yet? I love the new album, but debating driving 3.5 hours to Columbus to see this tour. It would fall between between driving to Cincinnati (1.5 hours) for Chvrches on Monday and Asheville, NC (6 hours) on Friday. Even as much as a road warrior I am it just needs to be worth it. Note I saw her with David Byrne for Love This Giant and had a great time.

It seems like most people seem to forget about it for whatever reason. see I've always thought OLtA was their weakest effort. it has a few nice tracks (namely Pioneer to the Falls, Rest My Chemistry and Wrecking Ball) but the rest of it falls completely flat to me. sounds like a really bland indie arena rock release for the time. and I think the self-titled album gets too much hate. yeah it's all very mid-tempo and somber but I like the consistently dark tone. it's a really good winter record. but I agree with this new album being pretty boring. the first two songs are enjoyable but then it all just blends together with no real highlights.

I think this question has come up a few times and I always respond with underwhelming. I love the new album, but I didn't think she lived up to all the hype live. I saw her back in April, so maybe things have changed, but I did not find her to be an amazing live act that others put her up to be.

They only work in the context of an interpol song and attempting to extract any meaning is a useless exercise. That being said, interpol is totally the ~dad rock music for our gen~. I'll see them whenever I can.

I'm pretty sure the random banter is always the same ("Your favorite word is 'orgiastic'"), too. The music itself is, in my opinion, pretty great, though. Whether it's worth a 3.5 hour drive is up to you.

My band, Bike Thief, just released our first full-length record this morning. It's called Stuck In A Dream, and it's available as a pay-what-you'd-like download right now on our bandcamp page. There are all sorts of elements to the sonic stew we've got going on in this record (a little folk, a little psych, a little chamber, a little avant-garde, etc.), but the foundation is definitely indie rock. Lots of grungy guitars (that's my job!), alt-y vocals and MYSTERY LYRICS. Look, could it possibly be bad with a cover like this?  No. No, I think not.

We'll be like those loser book nerds at the end of Fahrenheit 451 who are all like "hey do you remember books?" Actually because of this I started listening to Land of Talk and I absolutely adore Some are Lakes. Haven't checked out Deep Time yet. I have been kind of on a "indie rock bands with lady vocalists" kick lately and this hits the spot.

So Future Islands were as good as advertised, but their current tour opener, Operators, are pretty tight as well. It's Dan Boeckner's new project. They have an EP out now, but this sort of stuff works better live IMO. I can't find any of their stuff on YouTube, so here's a good interview w/ Dan from CoS: http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/08/dan-boeckner-you-better-start-again/

The new Summer Camp album is pretty cool. It's got some neat instrumental ambient tracks as well as their trademark chipper vocal songs with bleak subject matter. Nice mix for some reason.

Belle and Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch's long-percolating film project God Help the Girl has somehow turned into a real movie that you can watch today if you're in one of the right cities or willing to deal with video on demand. It's an indie pop musical, and the trailer makes it look extremely twee (and thus very much of interest to me). Website here. I haven't watched the movie yet, but I have been enjoying the soundtrack album (not to be confused with the 2009 concept album with a lot of the same songs on it that was also called God Help the Girl). I think it's more solid than anything Belle and Sebastian proper have released in the last decade.

How To Dress Well was amazing and the crowd was not. I got my record signed and met Tom, but poo poo people shut up when someone is performing. Probably didn't get an encore because of people. Video. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10101169269541644

The new Zammuto album, Anchor, came out earlier this week. It's good, but Pitchfork doesn't like it. They're dumb. He did a rock song for the first time. The first single is Great Equator, which sounds a lot like his self-titled, but the album goes in some new directions. I don't think I like it as much as his last solo album, but it does some interesting stuff. Edit: Take this with a grain of salt, because I like everything Zammuto does, including his weird pre-Books stuff and it's getting mixed reviews, so it might not grab you the same way.

I ran a search on this thread, so I think it's fair to post about The Milk Carton Kids. They are not releasing an album soon or anything, but I cannot understand how this folk duo is not getting more play. Two guitars, two singers, phenomenal harmonies, impressive finger picking, heartfelt melodies. Comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel and Everly Brothers have been made, but obviously they stand on their own. Live show at the Lincoln Theatre. You don't need to go beyond one song to recognize how good this music is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL8eBrhVTJ4 Plus they have their first two albums free on their website! What a nice bunch o' kids.
