gently caress these guys are fast with the releases and it's awesome.

Nothing will ever top "It Must Be The Weather" for me, though.

they did a surprise live set at a DFA club night late last year and didn't play anything new (guess they were busy with the DJ tour and remix compilation), so I'm glad they've got some new music in the pipeline

Feels like I'm the only person outside of Australia that notices this, but The Drones have a new album coming out in March, and from the two songs released so far it's gonna be right on up there with the best of the year. Their last album, "I See Seaweed", was easily my favorite of 2013. A real Sonic Youth inspired art rock masterpiece. Check them out if you like extremely literate and cynical, yet gut punchingly emotional rock music with some real weird guitar noises thrown in, and then moments of real beauty here and there. If you watch the show Rectify you've heard one of their songs, at least.

New Andrew Bird — "Capsized"

A bit funkier than his previous stuff. Hoping the new album (out April) is in a similar vein to this track. I preferred his past few cover albums like Hands of Glory and Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of... to Break It Yourself, which had a few great tracks but tended to drift.

here is music I just saw and would like to tell you about :

I first saw Beverly open for TOPS last March and I saw em again headlining tonight and they're really good! They have a similar dream pop vibe but a little louder and more aggressive on some stuff, especially the unreleased stuff they played from their next record in May. I've probably talked this band up before in this thread but they just made a new video that is good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs2XJl12Wvw

Opening for them though I saw a new band called WALL that is awesome. They are not the German band called WALL on Bandcamp, which is confusing. They maybe should change their name? Anyway their new EP is on Soundcloud. I think the lead single, Cuban Cigars, is kind of bland and doesn't represent well them at all. The rest of their stuff is really good and some of the highest-strung post-punk I've heard. They remind me a lot of first-album DEVO with the distorted surf rock riffs, weird tempo changes, and paranoid and angry vocals

this is my fav song of theirs: https://soundcloud.com/wharf-cat-records/sets/wall-ep-single-premieres

Hahah, do you attend like 90% of the shows I go to? That entire bill was pretty solid from top to bottom. MHPO were pretty fun and I ended up standing next to Marnie the Dog (and her owner) during Annie Hart's set. WALL was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Caveman released a new song last Friday. I loved Coco Beware and this is ok but it kinda sounds like someone in the band fell asleep with Red Eyes on repeat and woke up thinking they had written an original song in their sleep.

Pitchfork Festival line-up (alphabetical order for now):

quote:

Friday will see performances by Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Carly Rae Jepsen, Girl Band, Julia Holter, Mick Jenkins, Moses Sumney, The Range, Shamir, Twin Peaks, and Whitney.

Saturday features ANDERSON .Paak & the Free Nationals, BJ The Chicago Kid, Blood Orange, Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds, Car Seat Headrest, Circuit des Yeux, Digable Planets, Holly Herndon, Jenny Hval, Kevin Morby, Martin Courtney, Oneman, Royal Headache, Savages, Sufjan Stevens, and Super Furry Animals

And Sunday’s presentation includes Empress Of, FKA twigs, Holy Ghost!, The Hotelier, Jeremih, Jlin, Kamasi Washington, LUH., Miguel, NAO, Neon Indian, Oneohtrix Point Never, Porches, RP Boo, Sun Ra Arkestra, Thundercat, and Woods.

I could be convinced to go Saturday or Sunday but I don't know if I'd throw the kind of money it costs at a line-up where I only want to see a couple of acts, especially because I don't like any as much as Sleater-Kinney or Vince Staples (and I didn't even get to see Vince Staples last year due to weather).

like I can pick out CRJ, The Range, Anderson Paak, Blood Orange, Brian Goddamn Wilson, Savages, Sufjan Stevens, Empress Of, FKA Twigs, Holy Ghost, Kamsai Washington, Neon Indian, OPN, and Thundercat as the people on that list I'd wanna see at minimum and that's more than at a lot of other festivals (holy poo poo is the Gov Ball lineup bad this year outside of the Sunday lineup)

I admittedly don't enjoy this type of music in general but when I saw him open for NIN and Soundgarden (lol) in an amphitheater in broad daylight (double lol) I'm not sure anyone even noticed he was playing. There was a neat visual thing in the background but that was it.

Pitchfork, being in a park on a sunny summer day, would probably be a bad place to see him. They don't do tents or anything, it's just three stages. Although I imagine he'll be on the one under the trees.

I'd be seeing him in a 300 capacity bar in the evening.. much more ideal.. but yeah, these types of acts seem like they'd be boring after about 15 minutes.

I saw him open for Sigur Ros 2 years ago at an indoor show at an arena in Houston and the exact same thing happened. People continued to talk over it because they didn't think anyone was playing. And you couldn't really blame them because OPN wasn't playing anything that really engaged the crowd and he hadn't said anything to the crowd. It just sounded like the arena was playing interstitial music before Sigur Ros went on.

I don't like the new stuff nearly as much as When the Night, but I had the chance to see them play this past Friday and the new stuff definitely plays well live, so,

Just chimming in to say I'm a huge St. Lucia fan and saw them a week or so ago (for the second time). They are fantastic and all their songs are so energy-filled when performed live.

I joked with my friend that the band is so 80s the only thing missing is a keytar.
