why has no-one here acknowledged the brilliance of undoubtedly the best track on the album, ‘laughing hieroglyphic’? I love the album but it’s head and shoulders above the rest, and sits along side some of panda bear’s and AC’s best work.

Epic track, prefer it to Bloodbuzz! bit of an OTT reaction there ddogunit, not sure i really got the whole water thing but didn’t make my blood boil in quite the same way as it did you… evidently
































That’s a bit harsh, we’ve hardly been strung along. It’s not as if he owes us anything, or has deceived us. He’s simply approaching the release from a different genre-related viewpoint. I think it’d be fair to say his music, though not out and out electro, has more of a leaning towards electronic music than before, and it’s really common for electronic artists to release EPs and singles prior to an album. I’d expect there to be a fair few gems left on the album which haven’t been released. You’ve got to remember that the likes of Bros and Good Girl/Carrots were over 12 minutes, and they were the true standouts for me. He’s not going to release an album centre-piece before its release! Sure, it perhaps doesn’t hold the same degree of expectation as Merriweather, but he probably doesn’t want that.
