Battery Joe posted:Anyone seen Speedy Ortiz live? I kinda dig there guitar work and they seem to pop over to my city every couple of months. My friend ditched me for the show I was going to go see them at. Was only 15$ per ticket but I was still pretty annoyed. Some people never grow up. Really wanted to see them so if you go let me know. I'd expect it to be a really good show to drink at.

I don't know if this is a great example other than similar vocals, but this sort of reminds me of Waxahatchee: http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2015/06/29/417717735/upbeat-vocals-with-teeth-bad-bad-hats-premiere-fight-song They actually have an EP up for free download on their band camp. It's pretty catchy indie pop https://badbadhats.bandcamp.com/

Not sure this was ever in doubt, but new Tame Impala is exquisite. The singles are great, plus The Moment and Reality in Motion might even be better than at least some of those singles.

Reality in Motion is even better than Cause I'm A Man and didn't think there'd be a single track better than that on the complete album. Also I don't know what the consensus is gonna be when the album releases, but I'm oddly into Past Life, it's so weird but good.

The whole album is great, the only problem is there weren't enough psych rock bands anymore as the trend has moved towards synths and now Tame Impala are following that as well. Still great, but the style is super trendy right now and it's starting to get boring.

I can definitely understand the lament here because I feel like Purity Ring moved a bit too far close to the center on their second album. Maybe it's a product of being later to the game with this band, because I jumped in at Lonerism and only barely worked backward, so this doesn't feel like it's straying too far from what I latched onto in the first place.

I'm a huge synth guy, and yeah, it's one of the more pervasive trends in music today, but if you're going to use Currents as your argument against it, that's a huge oversight. The thing is massive. Beautiful. It's a shame the new Ratatat is going to get overshadowed by it due to the same release date. That thing's a lot of fun, too. Not a giant success, but it's definitely another Ratatat album, and that's not a bad thing. I'll also stump for the new Metric singles while I'm here. Same focus on synth, also fairly successful. The Shade is great, Cascades is more of a grower but still very good. The new Beach House is a tad disappointing. Doesn't really go anywhere. They're kinda falling into the samey shoegaze pit Silversun Pickups fell into, though I eventually came around to Neck of the Woods, so hopefully the same will happen for Depression Cherry.

I finally got around to listening to the chant album that J Mascis put out for Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) a decade ago. Now, strangeness of circumstances aside, it was a very good album and it made me wonder if there're other albums like this because I find the music oddly compelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDA9Ew-beqQ

I was so excited for the new Tame impala, but its hard to not just find it a huge disappointment. The jump from Innerspeaker to Lonerism felt perfect, but still kept things interesting. It's not like Currents is a bad album or anything, just such a large departure that it feels like less of an evolution and more like Kevin Parker just going "Wheee! We've made it and I can do all the experimenting I want now!" I have fond memories of cruising around in the mountains with friends listening to the first couple albums. It felt like the perfect soundtrack for sort of letting go of poo poo and experiencing things. I guess I was looking forward to more of that.

Hope I'm not too shamelessly self promoting, but people seemed to like the last track of my band's music that I posted. It's actually a remix that my friend's glitch-pop group made of a song from our previous album. We're Rice Cultivation Society, they're This drat Universe, the song is "King Midas." I think they did an awesome job with it. https://soundcloud.com/ricecultivationsociety/king-midas-remix-by-this-drat-universe

Hmm, I didn't know we were allowed to mention our own music here. I feel a little bashful, but here goes... I wrote and recorded an album of 10 songs that you can check out here: https://commonminer.bandcamp.com I could very self-flatteringly compare my stuff to Elliott Smith, Sun Kil Moon, Ben Folds, David Bazan, etc.-- the songs are generally melodic singer-songwriter acoustic but there are touches of louder, more anthemic rock, and some mathy time signatures and polyrhythms in a few places. Please take a listen and I hope you find it to your liking.

I think one of the reviews I've seen in the last few few days of Currents put it best: Parker had to decide whether to keep playing the same music album after album and continue in the vein of something like My Morning Jacket where you have a small but rabid fan-base that eats it up, or to be adventurous and see what you can do, and he decided to be adventurous. I love the new album and whenever I feel like I want something closer to his older stuff, I just listen to Lonerism or Innerspeaker.

The one that comes to mind is the skipping-cd sounding transition in the first track, it just feels kinda artificial and forced. I know he's employed repetition in the past, like looping drum tracks through the entire song, but for some reason I found it much less harsh. I'm also looking for those magical moments, like halfway through Apocalypse dreams where everything keeps building, freezes, and then explodes. Or the outros for Lucidity or Endors Toi. Maybe they are in the new one too, and I just need to keep listening.

Yeah, Jim James wasn't at all adventurous with his music... (you picked a terrible example to reference a band not experimenting and there are literally hundreds of others, all I am saying.)

I find it odd that people are calling Currents forward progression, when to me it felt like Kevin stepped backwards and regressed his sound. What I loved about Lonerism was how Kevin took that classic psych rock sound from the first album and got more experimental and ambitious with the production and songwriting. With the exception of the first track and a couple others, Currents just sounds like a pretty generic synthpop album to me.

Their debut album was amazing, and this new single plus Get Away are giving me high hopes they'll continue to be a great band. Sounds like Lauren heard the criticism of having too low of voice, she's really booming on Leave a Trace.

Officially hyped. I pre-ordered the white LP from their UK store because I was too impatient to find out if they'd release it in the US. Tomorrow, I'm going to try for tickets to next week's show in Brooklyn that they announced a few hours ago. Hopefully they'll preview a lot of new material there.

Want to know how excited I should be. I'm three tracks in and it sounds a lot more loose and less produced than most of Wilco's later catalogue - mostly just fuzzed out guitar, bass, and drums doing straight-ahead songs. Still pretty good though.

They took me many months of listening to on and off to finally click with. Not many artists get that sort of attention from me but my roommate insisted I give it a fair shot and I really grew to love it. My first listen to Currents is kinda underwhelming, there's some strong tracks here but there's a few that sound pretty drat similar to me. Also, as if Ian Cohen wasn't a laughingstock already: quote:Parker is good at writing catchy, simple guitar riffs. But he’s also somehow the best and most underrated rock bassist of the 21st century, and it’s not even close on either front. The near total absence of guitars means there is nothing remotely like "Elephant" here. loving
