thousandjulys Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 hope to snag this on the clear purple version /200. Mexican Summer only did a preorder for 50 and thats long gone dude i totally saw it up, thought "i'll preorder this evening" and it was gone. I'm sure the closer we get to the release date, the more opportunities there will be to buy it. It's great ep, albeit short (17 minutes). Also the way the songs end sound very...amateur? The songs are great but it's like he just pressed stop and they end abruptly. Also I had high hopes for the new atlas sound. Walkabout is such a great song, but the rest of the album felt very...slow and whispery. Though i only listened to it once. Should probably listen to it more than 10 times to fully review it. Also I recommend the smith westerns. Yeah the song endings are strange. There must be a reason he did it that way. who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I dig the music that Passion Pit make, but the vocals totally grate on me. Seriously. Kirby's post was good. I fully back Cut Copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully back Cut Copy. I told a friend of mine to check out Passion Pit and she said she didn't like it because it sounded like kids screaming at her.

enjoyadrian Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 on the ep the vocals were okay. On the album, it sounds like he put his balls in a vice so he could sing as high as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I imagine that the vocals would be absolutely horrifying live. Just checked it out- oh god, yes they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 things i've been listening to a lot this week: The Big Pink - A Brief History of Love (even though i think Dominoes is one of my least favorite songs this year).

kirbypuckett Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Japandroids - Post Nothing I have no idea why people on this board are not flipping their shit of Japandroids. They sound exactly like what the Fest crowd would love, just lo-fi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I imagine that the vocals would be absolutely horrifying live. Just checked it out- oh god, yes they are. I thought they were pretty good live. I saw them at an Apple store and I was in the way back, so I couldn't really see them, so I just focused on the music. I didn't watch them at Lolla, but everyone who did raved about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islands is great, and I believe features member(s) of The Unicorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoyadrian Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Islands, while a talented band, live sucked a dick. I believe this was due to nick thorburn's attitude, which was that of a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch them at Lolla, but everyone who did raved about them. I watched a youtube video and the vocals were practically the same as the disc. Even after all the complaining about the vocals, I still think they are a pretty awesome band. and for anyone who hasnt checked out Japandroids yet, you probably should.

electricsnow Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Japandroids recommendation is definitely backed. Also, Passion Pit was really good at Lolla. If you're going to give them a listen go for their Chunk of Change EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsnow Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Also, after seeing the link on the VC homepage about Gregory Alan Isakov, i have been listening to him nonstop. Everyone should listen to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enjoyadrian Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 finally listening to that new Pains of Being Pure at Heart EP and loving it. I've listened to it once and thought it was great. Now i'm just waiting for islands and monsters of folk to leak. also the new girls album was pretty good. It doesnt meet the expectations of the hype, but still it's good.
