ghOsty Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I like these guys quite a bit. I first listened to this album a couple weeks ago on a roadtrip down to Omaha for the Black Keys/Cage The Elephant show... It's a good album, and made for great driving music. (Also, as the cover suggests it'd also make a very good album for some intimate times) Chilled out synths with some nice vocal melodies and great use of reverbs. I also like their previous Life of Leisure EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I’ve been meaning to give this a listen. I like the two EPs he did but they are absolutely begging for proper mastering. Some of the lo-fi aesthetic works but I’m hoping he will sound better with a little bit of something other than midrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOCfan Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This sounds very nice indeed. I'm a bit out of touch with recent releases and I need something new to listen to, so I'll be seeking this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like the (g)lo-fi sound, but this album isn't like the previous EPs (which I LOVE). Vocals are still hazy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the EPs to me seem a lot more happy and upbeat, this one is more... atmospheric and, dare I say reflective. The hazy vocals on this one seem to work even better than they did on the EPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I like these guys quite a bit. it's just 1 guy. I like this album but kinda miss the lo-fi cassette vibe of Life of Leisure. Kinda assumed that was part of his appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 this has become possibly my favorite record of the year i went back and listened to the EP and it sounded so familar, is there any tracks repeated on the new album? renamed perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
