Davey, damn you, here you go pointing out another great album that I now have to go buy... My wallet curses you. This is a really really good CD; Lung Full Of Light is beautiful in particular.

Jash just referred to me as "brah" & who should pop up next. (Insert Twilight Zone theme here).



Brah, I apologize to your wallet. Great to receive more positive reaction. I've actually been waiting for someone to say "Davey, what drugs are you on? As good as the other songs are, Lung Full of Light kills them all." You haven't gone that far, but you might have started the landslide.

I think we need to start a "THIS IS AWESOME" chant.



Thanks re: the review MATM. UNStrangely enough, out of all of my reviews, I have spent the most time on this & the Foals LP... My top 2 of the year thus far.

I'm really liking the horn arrangements on some of these songs.

Go on horseypie, rate it highly. I rated Boulet's solo LP a 3.5 as I loved the highlight tracks, but the more experimental mid-section was only so-so for me. Thanks for letting me know he is great live. Atavanhalen said he has 5 back-up musicians, so I could just imagine. Parades would be super awesome.



I agree Phideaux. I called the horns "gorgeous" on 'Past Lives'. I initially had an extra bit in the review where in brackets I wrote (since when are horns gorgeous?). And then on 'Marigold', they're once more exquisite.

Yeah, the horns are fantastic on Marigold. I'm a trumpet player so I'm a sucker for good horn parts.

Yes Matt, it's that good imo.



I'm not a trumpet player... & I'm also a sucker for good horn parts Phideaux.



Fort23, this band have had quite a few past band names. Hopefully, they have settled on Parades.



Timbo, give it a few more listens... Let it settle in, especially the mid-section.



Another "THIS IS AWESOME" chant. Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap.



DavID, how come they do 3 monthly shows in (I presume) NSW? They were hit & run in VIC.
