Hume Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 i like those "what's in your bag" videos, yeah. i was in san francisco over the summer and had a chance to go to the ameoba records in the haight-ashbury area. it was amazing, but a bit overwhelming. i'm definitely going to check out the stuff bradford was playing, lots of it seemed interesting and atlas sound-sounding. dude kinda wears his influences on his sleve i guess. and i'm liking this trailer trash tracys song a lot, the xx thing is interesting, i feel like their albums are too easy to listen to, they just kinda float by without striking me very deep.

coleman26 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So, yeah, you could easily say that Grizzly Bear has the disadvantage of expectation. However, based on this convo, I'll give Shields a good headphone listen the next time I score appropriately good weed, so maybe I'll have a change of heart on it.

coleman26 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Man alive, Jason Lytle. What was the point of breaking up Grandaddy if your solo work is going to sound just like it? Ha, it turns out Jason Lytle basically knew that he was Grandaddy and broke up the band so he wouldn't have to pay other members equally?

coleman26 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 umm, Shugo Tokumaru is fantastic. It's very whimsical, yes, and also in Japanese, but it's like a happy Sigur Ros. Also, he's immensely talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 new Crystal Castles is out, if anyone is interested? their "new" sound is just a mix of their old sound and what Salem was doing 3 years ago. Salem + Balam Acab + Crystal Castles = new Crystal Castles album I'm not sure if I like it or not. the vocals are good, but the beats and music are extremely underwhelming, and so obviously influenced by something that was already explored thoroughly, and arguably more impressively, just a few years ago.

coleman26 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Crystal Castles was never a band I got the appeal of. Alice Practice was a genuinely terrific track, and everything else irritates me. The new album, however, seems underwhelming even in comparison to I and II. I don't know what was with the 'background' style of music, having the same beats but make them sound like they're being played a mile away through bad speakers' thing they're trying to do, but I did not care at all for it. The new Caspian was also underwhelming, but I don't know if there's really a lot left that you can hope for out of Post-Rock. The whole 'every song has to be a contained epic' direction is very, very played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rodent Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 i really liked crystal castles second album but it was always kind of a guilty pleasure thing. i'll probably end up checking out their new album if i'm ever in the mood for that type of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 The Walkmen's Heaven is a lot better than I originally gave it credit for. There's a few sorta boring tracks in the middle, but it's a very solid release, imo. Not sure why I didn't "get it" at first. What a great band.
