I find the whole genre/scene sounds a bit like Slint/Mogwai whenever it gets quieter



Maybe my impression because I was listening to 'Western' at the time

The opener is one of the most sterile songs though?? Would chop that and Of Schlagenheim in an instant
And pre-cinema Mogwai is basically Slint played by people who enjoyed the Smashing Pumpkins or lived through most of the 90s or whatever, so that figures

Black Country are both better and worse than this because they have more of a sense of humour

Black Country are worse because they make less memorable music and are a fucked slint cover band

yeah but Slint covers + frozen klezmer are still better than half the ideas here it is a tough market

It's very difficult to find the appropriate balance of weird in your post-everything tunes

It is probably consistent but that consistency showed me that I want something more from them.

'The opener is one of the most sterile songs though?? Would chop that and Of Schlagenheim in an instant'



sort of in agreement on 'Of Schlageheim' but I feel the opener and closer are quite easily the best two tracks on this



after that I like 'Western' a lot, plus it's the most different to the rest, and 'Near DT, MI'

"black country sounds nothing like slint ffs"
I'll mock anyone who calls them a slint rip-off, but this is obviously not true.
