shamrocks

love me a 6 month preorder

yeah good question. i just couldnt get into them and i loved the first two and just felt extremely let down by Local Business. Its possible that clouded my opinion on the next two albums because i didnt give them much time but just never felt it, so to speak.

Im going to relisten to them all and maybe the growth that was needed was mine and not theirs.

The last 3 albums have all been slow burners that I didnt even like at first but ended up loving. I'm hoping this is different and love at first listen, I dunno what to expect after the last album and new single though. Ordered in blind faith anyway.

 

 

Also, Local Business > Airing of Grievances

to each his own

its a shame.  Grievances and Monitor is one of the great 1-2 punches of the last decade. Everything since has been borderline unlistenable. That single sounds pedestrian and ordinary, certainly not worth 3000 words in stereogum.

I suppose. Seems pretentious to me. Attention grabs.

isnt the whole thing pretentious and for attention?

i got you @Gumbo72203. I like PFS and L&M and enjoy I Hear Sirens as well.  I still stand by my ranking of "Reanimation" as my favorite record of 2013, even though my tastes have evolved since then.

I enjoy some aspects of pop music, especially power pop, and I  get a visceral feeling from some of the more crescendo-oriented post rock music that I get when I hear a great chorus, bridge or refrain in a pop song. Its not all great or innovative and there is plenty of redundancy, but when something clicks, its something ill go back to over and over.

not to relitigate "is post-rock dead" but just my $0.02

120 g black vinyl only shipping option $13 priority mail so i think i can wait for it in B&M for sure

$40 ppd is a bit 

yeah i think the sound is as much the mastering as the pressing but could be convinced otherwise with the right copy i guess

lol okay i ordered both records and a hoodie i figured one of those was holding it up

stupid question but has anyone not gotten their order yet?

A very top-heavy year for me

silly bump maybe, just wondering about that single marker series. did the auctions ever happen?

would love to get a splatter or starburst if anyone is selling

for f*** sake with this site

is this the thing where you can deplete the store stock by adding them all to your cart? If so, stop the madness!

Great thread! Stumbled across the board when googling a particular record, then noticed this thread and subsequently spent a whole day reading and listening to any stuff I hadn't heard of. Thanks for all the recommendations.

 

Here is a new(ish) Dream Pop band from the UK you lot might like - Night Flowers

They released their new single 'Sleep' a few weeks ago. It has a great b-side too.

The 7" isn't on white vinyl though as stated on bandcamp. It was meant to be but after my copy arrived on black vinyl I got an email from the label stating "due to an unforeseen mix up at the pressers they were delivered in black and sadly there was no time to repress in order to get them out to you for the release date".

 

They have a EP on limited 10" clear vinyl too but it's sold out.

havent seen if night flowers has been mentioned since this post but Im in love with their debut LP (Wild Notion) black vinyl available from UK but Ill wait until some copies show up stateside perhaps. My favorite dream pop/shoegaze of the year, not reinventing the wheel but still v good

RIYL Pains of being Pure, Beach House, Alvvays

just reminds me that discogs needs a "items in your wantlist" feature when browsing a users collection

i know why they dont do it but man it would be nice when trying to buy things

well the show was fantastic. Julien is clearly the headliner but Lucy ands Phoebe easily could be as well. All brought great energy. 8-9 songs from each, about 45-50 minute sets, followed by the entire boygenius EP (all six songs). 3 hours 45 minutes but never felt too long. Hard to say if that will remain consistent throughout the tour but what a great show, would recommend it highly.

50 splatter per show there were only a few left when I went through so I didn’t try to buy two but some of the very early people did (I was there an hour early and the line was 50 deep), I suspect these won’t be impossible to come by, likely /1000 at worst
