Agree. I don't think they've released any weak material.

Good to see another fan of them. Two very good albums so far. They both have brilliant songs: Habit/Beautiful Blue Sky, Clarity!/Sun's Coming Down, Gemini/Men For Miles, Today More Than Any Other Day/Celebration, and the rest are still very good.

There is a lot of good stuff on Constellation Records.

Oh * me Ought

 

[Silent Alarm]

Love that new Deerhunter song. Absolute cracker. I'll have to find the download sometime this weekend, I still think they peaked at Halcyon Digest and Monomania was very boring and a misstep release, but I'm excited for this.

Radams > T-Swizzle.

 

[La Dispute]

What do we reckon about the new Battles LP?

Think it sounds a bit freer than Gloss Drop, which was decent if a bit laboured and samey in parts.

They probably won't top Mirrored but they're still pumping out decent tunes.

Really enjoying the covers album of Taylor Swifts 1989.

I'm digging that Toro Y Moi mixtape. There aren't a heap of (any?) fully fleshed out tunes on there, but even the 90-second rough cuts are pretty cool.

I like it. The last third is a bit of a letdown (I don't really get what Megatouch is supposed to be...) but there are plenty of nice grooves in there and I love how BIG a couple of the tracks get.

I still wish Braxton hadn't left though, especially when his own solo stuff is a bit underwhelming; I think it's now fair to say that he was the guy who brought some of the weirder ideas that made Mirrored so great to the table.

New Chvrches album is pretty pretty good

[Juke]

Anyone heard/like the new Oneohtrix Point Never? It's pretty weird, but I like it.

Really liked his album from earlier this year. Chaz Bundick seems such a cool dude, would be pretty cool to hang out with

Dan is just taking the piss now

Any of you guys heard of this Aussie band SKEGGS? Heard this song on the radio and was hooked by it.

Anyone heard the new Editors album? I loved their first and second but jeez their last two have been fairly dreadful.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We don't need links to torrents here, thanks.

 

[Juke]

Really digging the new Jay Rock.



This is practically a Black Hippy song though.

last album was a grower but this effort is their worst, has been getting really bad reviews as well.

 

[bok_party]

Also, the new Bloc Party song is horrendous.

 

[PieBeast]

yep, they're still going and got it

 

[Juke]

Also, the new Bloc Party song is horrendous.

It's not even Bloc Party anymore. Just disgraceful.

Tried listening to it the other day. Honestly couldn't get through the whole thing...

Obviously by my username you know that I'm a fan. Silent Alarm is one of the best albums I'd ever heard. The quality had slowly been declining each album though since. I still really love A Weekend In The City and Intimacy was better than I expected. Four was half a good album but I can't even pretend to like this atrocity. Hopefully the rest of the album is an improvement but without Gordon and Matt, I fear the worst.
