Arlen played drums on "Wake Up". Hadji did some electronics on the last Arcade Fire album, I think it was on the title track.

Sound-wise. They don't sound like the Arcade Fire.

at some points they do.

Very low-key reaction to the first album there. It's my favourite album of the last 5 years, bar none.Can't wait for the new one.

yes.

the Wolfies

no.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

no.

Agreed

New album, entitled "At Mount Zoomer", leaked a couple of hours ago.

Hmmm. Is it alright to get it from wherever it is if I then buy it too?

I adore Apologies For The Queen Mary and all the off shoots of this band. First band in a long time that I really got into...genius lyrics. In fact, that album kinda pushed me over the fence on moving here. There you go, blame Wolf Parade.

What's the link?!!

Were you sorely disappointed?

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I hope it's just a matter of letting this album grow on me, but so far I only like Call It A Ritual and California Dreamin'.
Both of those are Spencer Krug songs, incidentally.

It's a bit more low key than Apologies. I've listened to it about 3 times now and it's growing on me. I don't think the pair of them have quite blown their wad on Sunset Rubdown and Handsome Furs but I was expecting it to be a little better. There's no Shine A Light or I'll Believe In Anything on it.

I think Dan might have blown his wad on the Handsome Furs. The other lads slightly less so.
Right, I'll wait... I'll probably like it in a while.

I'm preferring the Dan stuff I think. It's a little jammy and unfocussed in places. Dunno if Kissing The Beehive needed to be 10 minutes long.

Yeah that one seems like a total mess to me at the moment. Just wanders aimlessly.
I kind of like Fine Young Cannibals, it struts convincingly.

An Animal in Your Care is actually excellent.

I haven't heard this, but that description sounds like it would fit some of the Sunset Rubdown stuff. Might it be that Chad is losing the plot (I know Hayworth will kill me for saying that, but...)

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I think this is really great now.
Apart from Kissing the Beehive, which is still crap, and that third or fourth song or so. The Spencer one. Not great.
Otherwise, it's a gem.
The Grey Estates is my current favourite.

Chad? You mean Spencer? Never! He can do no wrong unless he pulls a Jeff Tweedy.

ha ha. I'm sure I had Spencer Krug and Chag Kruger mixed up when I wrote that. Surprised it only took 2 and a half months for it to be noticed!

I still haven't heard this album. I have to go shopping this weekend.

 

[Lili Marlene]

is it actually out yet?

whoops....

 

[rettucs]

this album got slated by Jim Carroll in the ticket today.

I think its great.

Yeah I think it's great now too, but if I had reviewed it after 2 listens I would have given it 2 stars, so I'll give Jim the benefit of the doubt.
4 stars from me.
