can confirm - never saw the original lineup but they were very good touring Gloss Drop. also when they toured the third album they started playing tracks from EP C / B EP again.

haven’t seen the new duo formation yet

this is gonna be so hard to narrow down :sob:

love it, tho

the Florentino banger reminds me of this banger

maybe we could do a big playlist of tunes we considered

think I’ll post some I considered anyway

Love Stanier’s ridiculous high cymbal

it’s just John and Ian left now, they did the last album as a duo

made it so hype when he actually hit it :smiley:

will give it a go… I low-key enjoyed the one before, at least

almost nothing makes me happier in music than quality drum sounds.

yeah i quite liked the third album even if it was a bit of a step down. fourth album has it’s moments, this one with Shabazz Palaces is a banger

Absolutely digging that Atif Aslam track. My Indian partner was very surprised when that came on and she recognised him!

I also love it when there’s all kinds of intricate, in-the-pocket stuff going on, all rolls and flam and that

the sort that you get with jazz dudes on little trap kits

like, you don’t need to be like Neil Peart or whatever, you can make so much from a limited set-up

I mean, a really good snare played really well and creatively? fucking yes, Shipz

ooh imma get on this

big fan of SP

I knew someone who adored them but I never really gave them a go

just got to the point where THE DRUMS HAPPEN tho, and goodness me :exploding_head: (hah maybe a ‘Mind Bomb’ just went off in that emoji’s head)

@jeremyirony you sayin’ Orange Juice have sick drumming like this going on?

I know The National are a bit of a (self-deprecating) DiS joke, but I always adored the drums on this tune, and it was and still is my fave of theirs

I couldn’t tell you…never really given Orange Juice a proper listen.

I guess I need to investigate…

So much great chat in this thread, and none of it about my track :sob:

Not a good sign is it
