modey Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 i like what i've heard of them, but i was a bit put off by one of their video clips where they all looked like ian williams fanboys (ie. guitars slung really high, lots of don caballero style riffs). i should probably get over it and check them out sometime, hehe.

jules Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 is it good i have to say i liked this band for about half an hour then it became apparent that they were pretty bad the rapture fucccccccccccks them up and if i want mathy dance music i'll listen to battles or something it's much less math rocky/dancy than antidotes. a lot of it is very chill and medium paced. still very rhythmic though. most of it is in the same vein as the spanish sahara song they released. i'm liking it a lot on first spin, but i loved loved loved antidotes so we are definitely on a different page as far as that goes.

jules Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Absolutely awesome album, looking forward to my boxed set coming through the post in a few weeks time now. it is really a great follow up. they didnt try to repeat antidotes and went in a very nice direction imo. the first half of the album is just bang bang bang, one after the next. im not as familiar with the back half of the record yet. what's in the boxed set?

Exactly, that's why it's so good - they've really managed to outdo Antidotes, which was already a very very good album, by miles. In the boxed set, there's a bonus CD of demos and little loops that have gone towards the final album and a DVD of the making of the album pretty much.

xyrofen Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Looking forward to the release of this. I loved Antidotes when I first heard it, I often neglect it now for no reason really, it's really damn good. From the two videos they have, I'll probably like their new album too.

modey Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 listened three times so far. listen #1: yeah ok, a little bland, not quite as many amazing arpeggios as i expected listen #2: hey this isn't too bad! listen #3: holy shit this album is amazing! so yeah, i'm getting into it quite a lot. they're playing here soon too, might go check them out if it doesn't sell out before i can get the money together.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 lol these guys were on the nme cover recently. so i wrote them off as another pointless indie band. maybe i'll have a listen then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played Antidotes while my brother was around once and he thought they were similar to Modest Mouse in a way that made him enjoy the album. One of my friends called them "indie math rock."

modey Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 to be honest i don't really hear anything 'mathy' about them, besides a very obvious battles/ian williams influence in the guitar playing/looping/etc. though i've only heard this latest album, maybe i'll check out antidotes too, hmm.
