this had made me excited
really excited. sounds lovely.
sounds very similar to the queen of hoxton show
audio's sound quality for live music is hit and miss at best, but agreed that the field's live show always feels a bit patchy. good review.
great article
'the insider' has a lot of extremely valid points. it's more than just a valid point to say that championing 'bands of the people' has become somewhat of a faux pas these days, and the use of the phrase 'guilty pleasure' is, to me, also abhorrent.
if something is a pleasure, why should it be guilty? bands like paramore deserve the acclaim they get right now as they are spearheading a collective of accessible music that can cross boundaries without proviso.
as for within the journalism and industry circles, that is certainly where the class war resides. music is an art form, and in that, an ocean of opinion can be formed. of course it is self destructive, but music idealists will always want to be involved in music, whether that is detriment to it's business element or not.
great review
this shall without a doubt be bought in my lunch break. can't wait.
purchased
and it does seem fucking brilliant. i did expect a 9, but that to me is a good thing. hurrah
that would make pete wentz the barry gordy of emo
and that just wouldn't be right
one of my favourtite albums this year
great review as well, greatly in depth. good work.
still one of my favourite albums of all time
and one of the core things i really loved about this album, as mentioned in the article, was how they came about making it. it's a perfect example of community within music, not to mention an antidote for all things capitalist in music. while the band must have struggled in a financial sense, the passion and energy they exuded is going to be difficult to match.
i remember seeing toby in brighton when the band were supporting hell is for heroes. he said he was basically homeless and had the look of an 'into the wild' style nomad about him. i shall have to look into his solo stuff now as i imagine it's gonna be good. must get colour's anthology too, and now i can't wait to hear topics either.
emotion overload. thank you mmisl. you did us all proud!
agreed
good stuff
sounds ace
will definitely invest in that. as well as some time on this sweetly compiled spotify effort.
worth a shot
it is a classic album, and if you can still appreciate the likes of promise ring/rival schools/JEW then you should love this!
that first paragraph encapsulated years 15-20 of my life. good job!
this sounds 'neat'
would be an interesting one live as well i'd reckon
nosaj thing and delorean are wicked
now for the rest...
sweet
nearby goodness
well done DiScover folk
this excites me
dear wendy
the people who have put you onto gold panda are correct. 'tis great stuff.
great review
having found bibio through his clark remix i was intrigued. and still am. but this review claims my negative feeling, a personal investigation may invite some positives...anyway, good stuff
mmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i see that happening for sure
oops
additional point, it really did all stem from pitchfork didn't it! maybe it is all their fault?
i blame
susan boyle...
well not susan boyle herself (that wouldn't be 'on', obviously), but more the media's insatiable lust for breakdowns and obvious mental insecurities. ie let's laugh at the crazies! they'll make us feel better!
what should make us feel better is that wavves are pretty much toss
it's great to hear
after seeing him liive with band at atp last year. was a good higlight of the festival for me but was kinda disappointed noone was really there
ahhhh
the curse of the re-release
yeah...
it's definitely an annoyance
the bibio remix
is a beautiful little touch!
and that video is something else too...
more like ultravisitor...
agreed tho, the 'cliched' faster tracks do stand out but think his obvious all round musical talent is better spread through these 12 tracks than the 18 of ultravisitor! winner! although, the 3" that came with it is....interesting
throttle clarence
...is what it's called
wonderful stuff
got it the other day and had the headphones on start to finish. a wonderful work! good review too...
my friend bought t on the day of relesase and got a free 3" mini cd with eight other tracks on, much more like 'ceramics is the bomb' era (chris) clark...anyone know anything about this? i need those tracks....arguably on a par with the album itself but still a but more up-tempo and 'accessible' (first word that came to mind)....
thank you
great review! now....must find £££ with which to find said albums (£££ meant in th most p.i.m.p. way possible...)

seems fake..
but even the idea of them coming back over to do some live shows is massively enticing...cue discovery
