Guest Rook Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Well, I already like this song less than their entire debut album (which was phenomenal) but I am still excited for this. Plus they are playing with Grizzly Bear in October, wouldn't mind seeing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest absolu Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I think Gila is really good. One of their better tracks actually. And they succeeded to polish their sound which was rather unidimensional on their (incredible) debut. Also, Victoria Legrand's voice really meets the expectations. Touring also : Beach House February 28th - Baltimore, MD @ The G Spot February 29th - Chapel Hill, NC @ Local 506 March 1st - Atlanta, GA @ The Earl March 2nd - Birmingham, AL @ The Bottletree Cafe March 3rd - Memphis, TN @ Hi Tone Cafe March 5th - Baton Rouge, LA @ Spanish Moon March 6th - Houston, TX @ Walter's on Washington March 7th - Austin, TX @ Emo's Lounge March 8th - Denton, TX @ Hailey's March 10th - Tucson, AZ @ Solar Culture March 11th - Phoenix, AZ @ Modified March 12th - San Diego, CA @ The Casbah March 13th - Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo March 14th - San Luis Obispo, CA @ Steynberg Gallery March 15th - San Fracisco, CA @ Bottom of the Hill March 17th - Portland, OR @ Holocene March 18th - Seattle, WA @ Crocodile Cafe March 19th - Vancouver, BC @ The Media Club March 21st - Salt Lake City, UT @ Kilby Court March 22nd - Denver, CO @ Hi-Dive March 24th - Omaha, NE @ The Slowdown March 25th - Minneapolis, MN @ 7th Street Entry March 26th - Chicago, IL @ Schubas March 27th - Cleveland, OH @ The Grog Shop March 29th - Montreal, QC @ Casa Del Populo March 31st - Cambridge, MA @ Middle East Upstairs April 2nd - New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom April 3rd - Philadelphia, PA @ The Barbery April 4th - Washington, D.C. @ Rock and Roll Hotel Well, I already like this song less than their entire debut album (which was phenomenal) but I am still excited for this.

Guest Rook Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 polish their sound ha yea, thats exactly what I don't want to happen. I mean, I suppose their debut can never really be reproduced, but what I liked about it so much was that it was the most genuine album I have heard in a while of two people who couldn't really use their instruments that well. I don't know how else to describe it other than genuine. Never a moment of embarrassment, even though they were out of tune or whatever plenty of times. I guess that Grizzly Bear show was October 07? Maybe I went to an old version of their website. I dunno. whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rook Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I still say the first one is better. I think the debut had a much more raw sound that well suited their sound, and made me feel right there with them, screw ups and all. Very authentic. At first I worried that a better polished sound with better production (which this one obviously has) would diminish some of their very original sound. But I don't think so anymore. It would have been weird if they didn't progress, and I am glad they did what they did with this album. Again, very happy with this album. Will probably be one of my favorites of 08 just as the first was near the top of 06. 08 is a great year for musics. I wonder what they will do with their next album? What I mean to say is, I wonder if they will change their sound completely? I mean, how long can they do this type of sound? This is such a great band, that I don't want them to fall into obscurity after only two albums because they didn't progress or change their sound at all. I suppose I am getting ahead of myself.

Guest Rook Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I take back whatever I said earlier about the first being better than the second. This album is beyond phenomenal. I regularly listen to it. Easily takes the top slot for '08 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mononomo Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 i have trouble listening to the self titlted album now...because I just want to listen to devotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 true true, i tried listening to s/t but i always switch to devotion 5-6 songs in i think it's here voice and singing mostly, more refined and stronger..and upfront. the first 20 secs of "holy dances" get me everytime.
