[QUOTE=Bartender]What are they like? I read something about them a couple of months ago now, and it sounded interesting.[/QUOTE]
They're pretty good. Some songs come off more indie and some songs come off more hip-hop. Personally I think thier best song is "Gold Front" so if you want to get a taste you can listen to that.

I've been listening to "I" by A.R Kane. Anybody here heard them? I only found out about them recently, they're pretty good. Very trippy stuff.

[QUOTE=Tomahawk]I didn't say it was.

And I'm not indie because I watched Garden State, I'm indie because I have long hair and I wear a Sonic Youth t-shirt and I don't bathe.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

I wasn't saying that you were. I know a few kids who think that way though. Anyway, time to go to school.

liveevil 07-20-2005 11:59 PM

recently attended intonationfest so still kind of in an intonationy mood. the highlight albums that i've grown on are...

broken social scene - you forgot it in people
andrew bird - andrew bird and the mysterious production of eggs
ac newman - the slow wonder
xiu xiu - fabulous muscles
les savy fav - emor, rome upside down

the lattermost's studio music is hard to compare to their live show. it seriously was the greatest thing i've ever been to. if you ever get the oppurtunity, do not pass up going to a les savy fav show. you can't resist a chance to see a plump, bearded, balding, half-naked tim harrington dive down a slip n' slide through the audience. i've been checkin out this forum for a while. you guys know some great bands...

Luxor 07-21-2005 12:05 AM

Glad this generated some serious discussion and criticism. Thanks.

masada 07-21-2005 01:06 AM

I think the band is rather bland and boring, and the singer sounds horrible most of the time, especially live. They just sound really weak, and his vocals are always high in the mix, which doesn't make sense to me.

asymm 07-21-2005 01:10 AM

There we go. Thanks for explaining your view now. It's always interesting to hear oppositional views to my own. I think the flair of them for me is most definitely Craig Finn's lyrical content and his aggressive approach to the music. As you pointed how the vocals being high in the mix, well I think that is something essential considering their importance to the overall sound. As I can see your point on being 'bland' and 'boring' but for me I find their take on traditional 'bar' rock extremely interesting with the conceptual meaning and purpose behind it, the contrasting vocals to instruments, and of course the addition of the keyboard really does it for me :)

New album should be out later this year.

According to them, "The songs are quite delicious... we will crash into the sun."

br3ad_man 07-21-2005 01:36 AM

Sounds good to me.

Happymeal 07-21-2005 08:13 AM

Anyone here familiar with Cloroform? It's Kaada's band, and they kinda sound like Bullfrog(Kid Koala's band)

Oh yeah, Autolux are catchy as hell
