Salvatorin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 yeah I found about it while looking for autechre leaks. sounds nice...but my ears are registering this as merriweather post pavillion while I listen to it. which means I'd have to listen to it a couple more times to realize I'm not listening to merriweather post pavillion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatorin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 they are using some tasty patches, that's for sure! I like this album! it gets nice and meditative towards the last couple of trax, very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokn Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 it gets more and more animal collective towards the end. not much in common with "north", which i loved, but i like it way better than most of warps "indierock" - signings. good thing you can't skip.

markedone Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I just found out they're playing Berlin one day before I leave Germany. I'll be there! Just gave the album a stream and I really like it. I was well in love with North when that came out, and while this is much different, Im glad theyre not repeating themselves.Also the more I watch this video the more I love this track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyern Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It's like some kind of ambient meets indie rock band. Sounds ok to me. Promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokn Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 @marked: you know gretchen? bad soundsystem and weird people... usually. but amazing booking. soo... i'm wondering if i should go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 ^ watched that video earlier, really quite enjoyed it. Completely different from "north" and rather tasty. I can hear the animal collective comparisons, but they are definitely still doing their own thing. Will buy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markedone Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 @marked: you know gretchen? bad soundsystem and weird people... usually. but amazing booking. soo... i'm wondering if i should go. I've yet to go there. Been studying south of Berlin for just a semester. I looked into the supporting band for this show and I reeeeally don't like them. The band 'Foool' from the UK. The track I listened to has interesting instrumental but then.. the vocals.. are just not.. good. whiny So now im more on the fence, but i still rather want to see Darkstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGW Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The vinyl looks pretty nice:- I liked the first album. This sounds very different though. Btw the stream is on Pitchfork. Too busy with other new releases to listen atm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveGlitcher Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Gave this a try this morning not expecting to like it, turns out I did. Get's very blissful in the last 3 tracks and loving the first single quite a bit too. edit/ Amplified Ease and on is amaza'balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 http://thequietus.com/articles/11268-darkstar-news-from-nowhere-review A marvellous review to read, so good in fact, that after reading it you will definately be inspired to check this album out.

markedone Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You can now stream individual tracks from npr and, surely, other places.Armonica is my favorite track! The watery psychadelic vocals are just unlike anything ive heard along with that beautiful skittering beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGW Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I *really* don't need any new music right but this is extremely tempting. Sounds like it could be perfect listening leading into spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 really like what ive heard from this album, more so than anything from North. Might buy on vinyl, looks sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Really enjoyed this! I have to be honest, haven't listened to North, is it worth checking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Really enjoyed this! I have to be honest, haven't listened to North, is it worth checking out? I haven't listened to the whole North album, but just skipping through it on youtube, it sounds completely different from News From Nowhere... Not my cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest igloos unlmtd Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I liked the song Two Chords from North quite a bit. It was featured on the Kode9 / Burial mix. I couldn't get over how it sounded like a modern version of Spiritualized & I thought the band had immense potential especially when they signed with Warp. The rest of North was OK, but didn't really pull me in. I was really curious to hear this new album to see how they've expanded upon their sound. A lot of reviews are saying Animal Collective & Grizzly Bear... I can't stand Animal Collective's cluttered spastic sound & don't get on well with the feminine sound of Grizzly Bear.

joshuatxuk Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Grizzly Bear not so much, maybe it's the WARP label-mate conclusion being made. I am constantly told I'll like Animal Collective but haven't heard all but a few songs. If it's like this I'd love it. Maybe Darkstar sounds like older AC?

Atop Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Nah, just the singing and harmonies are a bit reminiscent of AC. Really digging the record as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
