Nicolas Jaar: I was a Teenage Villalobos

i left the house before this was bumped! i wasn't sure i was gonna make it until i did though, due to having to leg it over from taylor swift at the O2 - got to fabric at 11, enough time for a good portion of his set. which was rather amazing. "el bandido"!!!! everything sounded HUGE on the fabric system. live band worked really well, loved the drum rolls and the SAXOPHONIST <3

jealous...

Yeah it ruled. I turned up right at the beginning an hung around like Gary no pals for two hours, then I had to leave at the end of bandido cos I was worried about missing the train (plus it was ridiculously crowded, maybe the promoters had underestimated the popularity of the night?). Did I miss much after el bandido? What I found impressive was how the little nuances of tracks off the album suddenly became hugely catchy earworms live. And yes the band were incredible. The drummer has a real flair for jiggedy beats. The sax was something else too.

haha fabric is always rammed, ugh @ that place. even more so for gigs as far as i can tell, last gig i saw there was ryan leslie on a monday and it was heaving :(

one imagines it gets extra-rammed for gigs because the total capacity of the club is tryin to fit into one room?

lol @ "Gary no pals"

jealous of anyone who's gotten to hear a good set on Fabric's system

I would have loved to see this.

They should really keep the live acts in Room 2 - Room 1 just isn't very well set-up for watching someone on a stage.

But it's got the boomin system.

I'm at the bbc maida vale studios now waiting for his session to begin!

wish i had a recording of this. A Jaar Live album would be immense!

The album is lush. Anything else by this kid on CD?

Not sure about singles/eps but I've just got round to checking out the Ines comp and that's good in a very different way yet again.

If there is a better tune this year than the title track on this LP I can wait to hear it.

Funny, I've got it going round an round my head right this moment

phh. can't

Yeah it's great. I love the melody of the title track but I keep sitting listening to it thinking - is this what I think is great? then the last minute or so kills me every time.

God. No - I'm wrong. The whole thing is awesome.

Here're my thoughts on the live show: http://thequietus.com/articles/06139-nicolas-jaar-fabric-live-review

really liked your review of the last one btw DL, I don't think I said at the time

hey, thanks! I think that was my first official live review so it means a lot :-)

What's his pre-album stuff like then, and does anyone fancy helping me hear it?

See the list at the top of the thread Mouthy. It's kind of similar, but more house-based. Worth looking at. Think you might like Mi Mujer, and El Bandido.

Or get the Inès comp

omg nick the answers to these questions are only in the VERY FIRST POST of this thread

lol i made the same mistake upthread

listened to the album for the first time today while relaxing outside with my head leaned back it was lightly raining & i felt like i was getting my hair washed at the hairdressers when that sample came on so nice

would listen to an album of the sound of rushing water

Ah, two of my favourite acts from this year coming together:
