Let's hope it's not the actual end...

Monument (the Inevitable End version)

It is August now. They have tour dates into January. That's substantially "before."

"With this album it became clear we wanted to make an album in a classical sense even if it's the last one we make. We feel like this is a goodbye to the traditional album format…

In our consecutive run of albums, we have been able to say what we want to say and do what we want to do with the LP. We're not going to stop making music, but the album format as such, this is the last thing from us."

(from the newsletter)

I've heard this from numerous bands (we feel the album format is dead, but we're still going to make music, just not albums)...what exactly do they wind up doing?

Well, this is uneven but there are some beautiful moments in it. I think it's a bonus track but 'goodnite mr sweetheart' is stunning and would have been a fitting final track.

I like this version of Monument a lot, and Sordid Affair is really nice, most of the rest is dull as dishwater. A shame as I really like the Irrepresibles dude.

Agree that there are some nice moments here but overall it's not an album I see myself going back to a lot. For me Junior is their masterpiece.

They're back:

What the...

New single (feat. Susanne Sundfør) may be the poppiest thing they've ever done (?)

This is so up my alley I can't really tell if it's any good.
