bigbruise Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm only familiar with this album, did they release anything else? To me, their a new band...just breaking up. Terrible news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Old Flings / COTS split 7" is still happening as far as I know. A lot of the band is in Young and in the Way (who just signed to Deathwish) and Votnut. I don't know that that had anything to do with anything though. This record is great though. I'm glad I've gotten to see them a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow_Tree_Records Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 This record was amazing. Bummed I got to NC the day after their last set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Last recordings from the band: http://www.the1stfive.com/news/center-of-the-sun-release-final-recordings-as-the-1993-ep I don't know the Slowdive song, but he Mazzy Star cover sounds pretty much exactly like the original. Why do bands waste their time doing covers without radically changing them? Whenever I hear a band covering something with the same sound as the original it just seems like karaoke night. Best cover I've heard recently was Mark Lanegan doing "Flatlands" by Chelsea Wolfe. The music and arrangement is similar, but that crackly voice brings a whole different dimension to the song. I hope COTS comes to their senses and starts recording again. I think they were doing it better than most in this genre. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to archive another color here, the ones above are all rad and wish I had one of each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On YT someone dubbed both versions of "Flatlands" like CW and ML are singing together - a 'conflation' I guess. It's good. Don't have the link here at work because the Barracuda filter blocks YT. I can't wait to hear how Ally sounds doing their version of Machine Gun, their namesake - so mellow and that femme voice on the original lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
