Iām going to listen to these spoons you lot are banging on about
Iām saving listening to Spoons album for over the weekend, like a treat or a dessert
Not feeling this. Hope itās more to your tastes
Ah fair enough! Have you listened to any of their previous material?
Nope. One of those bands that I feel have been on my radar forever but never got round to checking out. Until today.
Second that. Itās ok but not a patch on They Want My Soul. Might be a grower
Haha oh dear! Well Iāve yet to hear it so I really canāt comment further on this particular album. Iām only really a casual fan but both They Want My Soul and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga are hit filled party pleasers in my books. They might be better places to start that is if Hot Thoughts hasnāt put you off them entirelyā¦
Iāve been listening to the new Spoon album. I was looking forward to it but not feeling it. Iāll give it a few more listens though. I have Real Estate to listen to too.
Yeah, slightly barren day today. The Echo and the Bunnymen live album was quite good.
Some good new singles out from Yorkston/Thorne/Khan, DBFC, Clark, MALKA, Pronto Mama, Johnny Flynn, Wire, Soulwax and The Vegan Leather though.
Listened to Ben Frost and Depeche Mode today.
Spoon and Horsebeach are both bankers. Not a bad week.
Yeah the new sounds pretty bang on to me. Theyāre on an absurdly long run of great albums since Girls Can Tell
horses for courses and all thatā¦
I think the Jacaszek albums excellent, elements of ian william craig, broadcast, grouper, richter come to mind, all electronic and emotive, and great vocal and use of 17th century poetry. Had it on fairly constant loop for the last couple of weeks, best thing so far this year for me.
Ah Iāll give it another spin. Only got a few tracks in.
all good either way of course, best with the headphones on i found, vocals are more prominent on the later tracks and i guess a bit more pop sensibilty in there in places. I think itās just got that nostalgic emotional wash that i love and the eclectic washy electronic ambient style across the mix of other genres. tracks 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 my favourite, 5 probably the most interludeāish, but nothing i donāt like.
Had one listen to the new Depeche Mode album. Think itās going to take a few more listens - sounded like a collection of the average album tracks from their last two album on first play!
Am quite enjoying the Jacaszek album also. Only one listen through so far though.
