"...he was nervous that he opens the album with his ex-girlfriend’s name (Mary Ann) and expects to hear from her about it."
'I Can't Stop Thinking About You' is Track 1! My favorite demo. Awesome.
First song in 2014 that's lived up to my own ridiculous hype. Most anticipated album of 2015. I love that his producers are expanding the songs, not cutting them down. The demo was two minutes shorter! Those punching drums! THOSE HORNS.
I wonder if this is the closing track...
"he is trying to keep up with his 8yr old bro who is also going way deep into computers already, dunno where they get it from"
yeah I dunno where they get it from either rich!
I cannot wait, honestly. This guy has absolutely captivated me since the first moment I heard him, since then I've gathered everything I can by him. I just got the third demo ('Hollywood', mentioned in the P4K article) yesterday in the mail. My expectations are so unreasonably high for this LP.
That's my video!! I would have taken a longer one but I was basically standing at their feet, so it felt kind of awkward. Incredible, incredible show. They played three new songs.
I listen to it almost every night before I go to sleep. When I get in bed I'm usually onto disc 2, and when you lower the volume to just the right amount it creates an incredible effect, you only hear certain tones and notes. I also just walk around town at night moping a lot, and Rhubarb, Lichen and Stone in Focus are all time greats for that particular activity.
Definitely not, but Nine Types of Light definitely marked a step towards more concrete lyricism and less abstract concepts, and this looks to continue that path, which I'm fine with. NTOL was a great record and I've enjoyed both tracks from Seeds immensely.
Actually that was all pretty standard fare as far as Julian on late night TV goes. This performance was mildly incredible though, he really gave it his all.
from GQ: "Casablancas nevertheless maintains that Tyranny has strong commercial potential, and who knows, maybe it does—I find myself listening to one song, "Nintendo Blood," over and over again, all tired and sweet nostalgia, like something from a John Hughes movie. "
"Sounding a bit defensive"--gee, I wonder why, when literally every online publication are taking every opportunity they can to actively shit on a band that has played less than ten live shows in their life and have not even released an album yet.
I mean, I agree, obviously, these live videos aren't great, or even good, but yeesh. Give the guy a break.
This is so fucking welcome. Continues their bizarrely intriguing evolution they fumbled with on Angles and is already ten times more focused than the majority of that record.
Hooray Strokes.
I bought this album when it came out at midnight and it is so unbelievably good. Destroys the first five volumes. 'The Midnight Clear' is straight up folk heaven, on par with almost any cut from Illinois.
Well I, for one, love Paint a Vulgar Picture. It just goes on forever (quite beautifully, I might add) and really nails the song's message into your skull.
For me, 2012 goes like this:
1. Bloom-Beach House
2. Channel Orange-Frank Ocean
3. In Our Heads-Hot Chip
4. Something-Chairlift
5. Shrines-Purity Ring
6. Kill for Love-Chromatics
but yeah, this is pretty damn amazing.
