yeah he (Miaoux Miaoux - if anyone knows/want to) is awesome, know him through Jamie (MC Almond Milk), but still, fairly wild this has happened (cool though!)

New one is excellent, well up for that Brixton gig though I imagine they will be at Primavera too.

All four albums have been corkers, never listened to the Sparks one which I will rectify ASAP.

Second album just about pips the first I think. Just popped on ‘I’m Your Villain’, gargantuan tune.

This song is OK. Production was too clean for me, could be a bit scuzzier. Also feel like they’re trying to ram in as many hooks as possible, hoping something sticks

#25

I was fully braced for the worst news too.

#26

Really?!

Well the fact that Franz Ferdinand were still going past that 2nd album is pretty much news to me so it was the only reason I could think of for a thread starting about them.

Very glad to find out otherwise, obviously.

(Also, partly because in the Crystal Castles thread pretending to be younger than you are came up and Alex K was the first person I remember there being a thing about with that on here. I mean it definitely felt like he was positioning himself as a lot younger than he was but who knows.)

#28

was that not just label/p.r though?Don’t think Alex K has ever personally really claimed otherwise

#29

Distinctly remember a lot of the press coverage around their time of the their debut mentioning he was older than your usual band member.

I have no idea. My point wasn’t about whether or not it was true, it was about framing musicians as younger as they were and his name having been twinned with that specifically in the past.

If I’m posting about a band/singer, rest assured it’s probably new album news and not physical/sexual assault news! I prefer posting about not-depressing stuff.

New DiS makes it quite hard to note who started a thread, unfortunately :frowning:

Can’t find any reference to this on Google…?

#37

what was cancelled?

#38

it’s not that awful of a thing to say, he follows it with this:

Oh yeah, at worst he’s just got an important issue very wrong. It’s a bit silly.

anytime I see a thread with just a title of a band, I expect it to be them splitting up, ala the Wild Beasts thread.

So glad they’re not doing that yet.
