yup

Really like this release way better than Perch Patchwork. I personally think the pseudo-math rock Minus the Bear vibe works well for them.

Can spot a Robin review by reading summary

I concur ;) Good job on the writeup though mate. I'm prolly gonna spend another 5 mins picking apart the thought processes in the two opening paragraphs alone lol.

Digging: Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Album Rating: 2.5

this just sounds so... '80s.

they have only gone downhill since tree, swallows, houses.

Band name reminds me of Jules Vern books..

Cute songs. Thought that would mean like a three.

Digging: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!

Album Rating: 3.5

actually yeah this is a lot better than the first full length

the EPs are great, but on this one they actually don't sound like MtB clones so much

Digging: The National - Trouble Will Find Me

Some of the songs here are my favourites of the year and others are just okay in comparison.
It's not balanced but overall, I thought it was great. =)

Just kind of a relaxing indie record. Nothing special but it's good.

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Catching these guys, for the third time in my life, in an hour or two. I'm really hoping they play a fair amount of older material. I really like this album a lot, but as a few others have mentioned, and I agree, this definitely wore off a bit with repeated listens. I've still got a hard-on for Perch Patchwork. In my opinion, that was the perfect evolution of their sound; still mathy and raw, but also structured, tight, and melodic. Anyway, here's to it, Sputnikers. Cheers.

Digging: The National - Trouble Will Find Me

Here, here Patrick! =)

They are actually pretty solid for their lyrics, I'll say that.
Probably their most underrated element. I would prefer they sounded a little more like their older material since listening to it but they are pretty good at making solid pop records too.

The production on this is gold.

still need to put up my interview i did with them like a month ago

Yeah! Do it man, I wanna read that. =)

Wasn't really into this the first couple listens. Review reminded me to give another spin.
