Yeah
My opinion on that is that they've earned their stripes: but yeah, people in the crowd would have, as always, liked a couple of 'hits'.
DiS has the most exhaustive end-of-year coverage ever.
Can we have a top five DiS end-of-year articles?
Austra is reeeeally near the top in my list.
Surprised to see it so low here.
His new stuff is unbelievable... textural, symphonic instrumental electronica...
Think he's recording it now.
We listened to this in Spain, sleepily, in a car from Valencia to Castellon.
It was pretty obviously very special even from that half-listen.
Grrr.
This is a brilliant EP. Textural and meandering in the best possible way.
Is that Fever Ray at the top?
That is one bat shit crazy picture.
Wendy, I like your column, it makes me laugh every time.
I love this record also.
8 or 9. It's beautiful. I don't see it as a collection of good and bad tracks but as a body of sound that you take together.
Ungenerous.
Watching the context too much at the expense of understanding the music.

Heard the album Wenders? Is ace. Pagan Wanderer Lu had a single this week too! *cry* http://vimeo.com/13019132
I love it when
reviewers listen properly, and have the smarts to understand just why PWL is so special and great. Thanks for this review, you have made my week.
This is a well written review.
This is a good album.
Mat as an also-ran, I weep!
Anyone wanting to hear / watch / read Mat Riviere stuff can do so at the Mat page http://www.brainloverecords.com/fyh <= there.
It didn't grip me the way Ys. did on first listen.
But I feel like I'll end up loving it. Her voice changed again...
9/10 here too.
Not MOR.
Amazing Pictures.
She's still incredible.
Shame about the last two albums :(
Holy crapfire.
A new Simon Bookish remix! BIG NEWSSSSS!
THNX for the Mat bigups Roby.
I'm doing it.
Just to see.
Because it would be good.
And who knows.
Love. This. Band.
Really. Hard.
this
album
is
epic
I meant, Beach House are totes Bella Union in my mind...
That's all. I was shocked for a minute there!
This is, finally, a fit sequel to The Glow Pt II.
I am loving it to death.
Joyless muppet.
Can't you see past the end of your own nose? 27 new bands on here and all you can do is bellyache because I'm involved? Some music lover you are pal.
Listening to this for the first time, with goosebumps.
Incredible, stuff.
I like it.
7 amazing pop songs, a few shit ballads.
A Proper Pop Album.
7/10
Lordly?
Lordy.
The next couple of the weeks are a good time for relationship threads, DiS.
I bought the tape.
For my kitchen, like. It's rad.
This sounds amazing.

I guess basically I can't criticise them for playing what they wanna play.
But rather, listen, enjoy what they have decided to do, and comment on it in the review. I don't get to pick the setlist and I'm not gonna moan it wasn't what I wanted: I enjoyed the show, I respect their decision to play the new album, and that's that.
