re. "neon lights"
it sounds like they've turned up the resonance dial quite a measure... so, it sounds a lot brighter, making maybe those upper-range synths a little tinny...
apart from that, clearly clearly brilliant.
you slate the "lyrical content"
as if you haven't read the title of the album
hmmm
the whole sampler/downtempo thing reminds me of Stateless, anyone remember them? they were good for a while but their singer went to sing live with DJ Shadow on his shit album tour and never returned.
this is not really a compliment.
turner's vocal delivery on pretty visitors is incredible
he hits every note and at such a blistering pace akin to a very accomplished rapper.
i love that lyric about how they "came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit". really quite brilliant.
they should stop writing tracks with "dangerous" in the title as they are usually the weak link.
agreed that it's no FWN
which is a shame. still, tracks like secret door, my propeller, cornerstone, the jeweller's hands etc are instant keepers. secret door especially.
also, you have to think, turner has produced and promoted one album per year for the last 4. that's a pretty high level of quality output which, despite the 'hype', people don't give him enough credit for.
come on
this is going to be amuuhhhhzing.
i've been banging on about these and chromatics
for years. no one ever listens. in the end it's just too light weight for most people. i love it.
do they have to be singles?
Mystery Jets - Flakes
Metronomy - Heartbreaker
Neon Neon - Belfast
Will.i.am - Heartbreaker
Girls Aloud - Can't Speak French
Foals - Red Sock Pugie
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Meeting Place
Black Kids - Hurricane Jane
British Sea Power
err.
"Something Wicked" would fit in nicely.
it's pretty great
a few duffers but overally pretty damn good.
hopefully we'll hear more, i'm still waiting for them to have the Blondie "actually we're a shiny pop band" moment. then it'll be truly great.

i quite liked
"wondering"
or was it "wandering"
dunno
they did this about 2 years ago at KOKO
i was going to try and do it but i never did. maybe this time.
I always liked the 'Retreat' one and the Wolf & Cub one also
strange to think that Banquet was mixed on a laptop.
i got Burial at 6/1
i did
is that that woman that was in the paper
cuz she lives in a squat.
like wut?
wooop
i have a bet on him at 6/1
^ i'm pretty much of the opinion
that keys open doors is the best hip-hop track ever. i always go back to it. i never go back to Aesop Rock.
great album
BUT WHERE IS "THROUGH DARK NIGHT".
^
good point cidereagle
^this
clearly
My Mistakes Were Made For You
is my new favourite track.
they are totally gay
ah well
lol
I love how people talk about the medium rather than the subject.
Why?
sink.. sink..sink
SINK VENICE
i liked radiohead
when i was 16. now i prefer pop. i know it's supposed to be the other way round but fuckin hell . . . "THE ICE AGE IS NOT COMING YOU TOOL"
