Johnny has the weirdest take in music sometimes.

i think pink floyd is proof that simple guitar and keyboard arrangements can still be moving and profound.

Being obsessed about complexity on music is a really weird position.

if there isn't at least 25 distinct notes per melodic phrase then i'm just not into it

Think the criticism is less about complexity vs simplicity of the guitar work and more a "defaulting to minor pentatonic when you need to do something vaguely tricky" is sometimes a drab choice

thank you porc for saving my public image from the tar and farts of the komplexity krowd
marrow is far less lame than this tbh, they did things like Making Production Choices and Playing Interesting Notes

This is very different to Marrow, Marrow is also better but opinions may vary. I'd definitely give this a shot Pangea, there's a lot of post-rock/folk elements in here. Probably their 'lightest' release.
