Why won't anyone engage in a conversation with me about how gorgeous and genuinely terrifying Boy Racers is

I don't give a shit about whatever scene the band Squid's purportedly a part of, nor do I give a shit about scene politics; but like okay there's a lot of Talking Heads influence, some Modest Mouse and some LCD Soundsystem, some thrash and punk and who knows maybe Minutemen whatever. At the end of the day, this is a solid album. It's solid to me as a rare object.

I've listened to this album probably 5 or 6 times now and I'm still undecided overall what I think about it. So many of their earlier songs grabbed me in a way that these Bright Green Field songs just haven't ("Houseplants", "The Cleaner", and "The Dial" especially; "Match Bet" and "Sludge" are great too). Those earlier songs had me so damn excited for a full Squid album, but I think they've pushed in an ever-so-slightly different direction than I was hoping is all.



I'm not quite sure how to best describe that. But I do still really like this (leaning toward a 3.5 or 4.0 right now). Maybe it'll grow on me even more with time too.



Also, I really wasn't expecting a Sowing review for this one! Curious to see what you think of black midi now after digging this one so much.

"...showcasing Ollie Judge's Idles meets Modest Mouse vocals as he squawks on about praying to the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline while the sun sets on a mosquito-plagued hillside."

Yeah, I stopped reading there and I'm sold.

@Fuzzy: yeah, I also was expecting an album of songs like “The Cleaner” and “Sludge” etc, and I suspect Album II will cater more to such expectation. I think they wanted to hit the ground running with a collection of difficult, more experimental material, and the more I take it in the more I hear. It ain’t what I wanted but I dig their ethos

Global Groove is my least fav song probably, end of boy racers genuinely terrified my housemates when I blasted it in the loungeroom lmao. I want to experience 3:35 of Peel St. live one day
