been giving it a listen this morning and it's not quite as boring as i initially thought, but towards the end of the record it does all start to blur in to one. the songs just aren't as memorable this time round imo

 

To be fair they set the bar pretty high with the previous two records. Fingers crossed for the new one.

 

 

In other news Bill Ryder-Jones (formally of The Coral) has a new record out in November. His last one was great!

interestingly somebody's pointed out that Thank Your Lucky Stars was written on the Depression Cherry vinyl, so obviously a pre-planned thing (not that there was any doubt):

Fair enough. I thought otherwise as they were saying on Twitter last night about the new album being completely unrelated to DC/not being tracks that didn't make it. I guess they would say that though :P

it's possible they just recorded a bunch of tracks with one album in mind and another bunch with a totally different album in mind. hoping the new one sounds totally different (well... as different as a Beach House album can sound from another)

It's split up into five acts and two disks for you. Listen to it in chunks if you don't like going all the way through. But the way the album's put together means that cutting it down just won't work. Dunno why you'd want to cut down the album of the year, anyway.

OK - have spent a bit more time with this album this week, and yeah the standard is pretty high for a 90 minute long album.

Yer man's got a way with a pop song, and this is very much the PUNK ROCK E-STREET BAND ticket.

I'd watch Keaton Henson if he played, will certainly check his new album out.

Absolutely love this song by him

Same thing but he has swapped guitars out for ambient electronica. Not convinced I'd want to stand in a field and watch him but would certainly listen to this new album on my ipod first thing whilst recovering in my tent from the night before.

Anybody listened to the new Motion City Soundtrack? They were on a pretty great streak until that painfully boring last album. I'm told this one is a big improvement.

 

used to love these as a young whipper snapper but never kept up with them (well.. basically just didn't listen to their last album). will give the new one a go

My Dinosaur Life is the Blue Album's hyperactive son, one of the most underrated records of the past few years in my eyes.
