don't think i've ever heard a more fun album in my life. Probably never will.

Anyway, you're with me, right? It's fucking amazing, right? And, uh, if you haven't listened to it, go do it now, you DICK.

Let's all link to our 3 favourite bits of this album on youtube. Yeah? Cool.

1) The last 30 seconds or so of Genki Shank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqYaxc_dT8#t=4m15s

2) The last 35 seconds or so of Europa although there's NO YOUTUBE VIDEO CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT i would link to spotify but i'm on a stupid dongle that won't let me go on spotify so search for it youselves yeah.

3) All of logdrum from this moment on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUZeosCpyNU#t=2m34

Think logdrum is pretty much a perfect song.

Yeah, so... ADEBISI SHANK HUH

Perfect Friday-afternoon-in-the-office music

Should power me through til 5.30/whenever I decide to try and sneak out early.

All of Masa, especially the bass at the beginning and the cheering

followed by when it breaks down and goes completely mental with the vocoder bits. What a song.

<3 Shank.

- fucking love the breakdown
  
  especially the sort of drum fill that leads right into the freak out after. I dunno why, i think it might just be cos it sounds like they're playing it live, and that bit would be awesome live.
  
  Really wanna see them live.

I like the sound of adebisi shank

And there was a period when i had their name stuck in my head. Despite this, i've never heard them, but i hope that one day i will.

- JUST LISTEN TO THEM
  
  listen to logdrum. Go do it now. If you don't really enjoy i'll lick your gooch, that's a promise.

joyous, robotic math-pop

But much better than that sounds.
A total sugar rush, but smart.

- Barely listened to the first one
  
  dunno why. Every time i listen to it it just makes me wanna put on the second one i guess.
  
  Snakehips and You Me are awesome songs though
  
  still_here @badmanreturns | 27 Jul '12, 15:23 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Listened to the first one the other day
    
    The second one is way, way better. It's much more rhythmically intricate.

Yeah, this is an amazing album

And it seems like they've barely made a dent in the UK music press. Can't remember how I heard about them... think it may have been last.fm recommended artists.

Clicked on that first link and the ad was for Purity Ring's album

First time I've not wanted an ad to end

Yeah I went to see them last night

for the first time in a couple of years. Really good obviously. They did some new songs.

- As such the timing of your thread is quite weird.

tails off towards the end

but tracks 2-6 are unstoppable.

Listening through it again.

Absolutely mesmerising stuff.

Want to give a shout out to the first album as well, which is a lot more riff orientated than this. Minirockers is absolutely epic on that.

shucks | 28 Jul '12, 19:52 | X | ^ This | Reply
Every time i listen to this i become more and more convinced it's one of the best albums ever made

there's pretty much no doubt about it anymore.
