[Jim Daniels]

I like it.
Sounds like David Byrne after eating too many smarties.

Big thanks to Buck who very kindly made me a copy

yeah i've heard mixed reviews, would you compare their sound to anyone in particular?

 

[shitepipe]

aye, a serious david byrne vibe from the singer

saw them live last week and they were pretty good...
my guess is you'll be hearing more of these, at which time i'll promptly hop off the bandwagon

oh, and their name becomes really annoying when you try bring it up in conversation....

 

[benni]

I really like these.

Upon this Tidal Wave of Young Blood & The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth are class class tunes.

I hear they're pretty animal live too.

 

[gugai]

GOt the album the other day. Do quite like it, and going to have to say david byrne too

 

[benni]

Totally David Byrne ....
and also the singer dude from The Hidden Cameras too me thinks.

playing crawdaddy in Feb

 

[Franco]

yeah a couple of great tunes on that record but a chunk of iffy filler. maybe if they hadn't got hyped so early and spent more time on the record....

 

[Deaglan]

playing CrawDaddy on sat 4th feb

According to The Ticket they sold 25000 copies of the record before a label went near them - hardly counts as being hyped early
Could have picked em up wrong though ... or that story could be part of da hype

 

[Unicron]

What happened was that they put out the album themselves, pitchfork gave it a very good review and the limited run they pressed sold out really quick.

So they got another run, then another etc. In the mean time they were negotiating with a couple of labels but didn't want to rush into anything and they were handling all the shipping to record shops /paypal sales themselves for about 4 months out of one of their apartments.

 

[Anthony]

the power of pitchfork eh?

 

[Lord Damian]

the power of pitchfork eh?

totally.

major distro labels watch Pitchfork like hawks hoping for good reviews of their releases. if they get favourable reviews, they ship more units. FACT.

only a matter of time until palms are getting greased round Pitchfork way.

First we've heard of it!
What a weird way to find out about a gig...

 

[Anthony]

Unless it's another band called Crayonsmith. Maybe the other Jape are playing too!
