nickelnine59 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I think this is his best full album, I haven't skipped or skimmed through songs like i did on his last 3 albums, its definitely a smoother listen. I have Rules & Trick on vinyl, let me know if anyone is trying to sell a DSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutumnEmpire Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Not anymore. I found a lot of European stores that have it in stock but none in the US. I assume they'll turn up soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowtooth Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I hope everyone looking for it manages to get a copy. Echoing what others have said in this thread, the record is very very good. Not quite DSU good for me, but very close. It's like what Trick was to Rules. Slightly weirder and much colder in atmosphere. Kicker, Thorns, Bright Boy and Bug are easily some of his best tunes to date. Really bummed about his lack of a Boston date for his upcoming tour. I was hoping he'd come back to Cuisine En Locale. andrewmadore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda more on the opposite, I think Trick was more "poppy" in a sense than Rules but both are still fantastic albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkrtz Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm kinda more on the opposite, I think Trick was more "poppy" in a sense than Rules but both are still fantastic albums Yeah, this. Until now RULES has been his coldest album (also my favorite) and TRICK has had a much more upbeat/poppy/ warmer sound. Then there's DSU which was a mix of both warm/cool songs. Now we have Beach Music which I feel is in a way the true successor to RULES; chilling, airy, floaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have Beach Music which I feel is in a way the true successor to RULES; chilling, airy, floaty I'm not sure I get that cold vibe you're describing from RULES. Maybe from the melodies, but the arrangements are all pretty acoustic and warm - stuff like New, Mis, Come Back, Fighting, Wicked Boy... nothing "cold" or distant about those tracks to me. Maybe stuff like Water and Know Now I could definitely see it, but his melodies were very warm and inviting on that record. Not nearly as poppy as TRICK, but a little more... cozy and exposed, in a way. Beach Music is way further in that chilling direction. The electric guitars and glitchy effects throughout give it a nice, open feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkrtz Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Are you serious? I guess we have different perceptions of atmospheric temperature. Know Now is one of the only warm tracks on RULES imo. Mis, Fighting and Wicked Boy specifically are so grainy and chilled to me. Very introverted and isolated. Meanwhile Know Now on the other hand has a glowing extroverted quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 probably close to on time, I know we're all used to Orchid Tapes shipping, but bigger labels actually plan to have stuff on time joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fys77 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Certainly on par with all of his previous releases. This guy is just a straight up song factory. For me DSU might still be his best overall effort, however Beach Music contains more stand outs, not only on the album, but his entire discography. Buy this album in any format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My copy from Domino also shipped yesterday. Listened to the leak a couple times but it isn't clicking with me. As of now I definitely like DSU a lot more but I'll see if that changes when I spin this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
