mum, second only to joan of arse.

Múm were a load of me hole.

well, yer wan's "singing" was sooooo fucking distracting and repetitive and uninspired and one-trick-pony that she took away for the precious little that the band had to offer. there's a very fine gay line between angelic sweet music and turgid fucking boredom. they were on the wrong side.

highlight of the night - talking to pantone outside and watching andrew walking away from me.

surely the highlight of your night was telling neil that you and the lads have an emergency fund at his disposal for the purchase of a one way flight, should he ever require it??

Bought the Animal Collective double album today based purely on this thread.

It's really, really good.

But I guess you already know that.

 

[Alan Remorse]

What do they sound like?

 

[One of us]

A bit like "See you on the other side" era Mercury Rev, but with synths and fat-cat style glitches and squelches instead of the arhoulie flutes and musical saws and all the rest of it. Some of it sounds a bit like Rachel's too. Someone mentioned Flaming Lips above, that's a good comparison.

 

[Alan Remorse]

uh oh, mercury rev comparisons dont bode well. Think i'll avoid that one.

i cant belive my exams start tomorrow

Wrote that before I listened to 2nd cd, which is like a completely different band- less structured, more textured, mostly electronic, occasional burst of manic drumming shocks it into life. Still impressive, if that's your bag. Would guess they're more like this live- I suppose it depends what band shows up on the night.

Nothing wrong with mercury rev! Ok, their last album was shite, and deserters' songs cloyed the 1000th time you heard it, but the earlier stuff still stands up well, I think.

 

[Alan Remorse]

ah dont really havbe anything against them, just find them really boring. their singer has woeful voice, especially live

 

[ddmurph]

that animal collective double album is deadly. possibly the best thing i heard all last year (wasn't cool enough to have picked up the original issues a few years back ... i presume they're more or less impossible to pick up these days anyway).

 

[Goodbye]

Mercury Rev are all about Yerself Is Steam
