I love this band. Fucking love them. I listen to them at my friend's house all the time, but haven't picked up their self-titled album yet. Should I get it on vinyl or CD? And does either come with the lyrics? I can't understand a damn word of it.

I actually like this band, or the s/t, because of the lyrics most, specifically:

sorry, I got cut off, but specifically: "freakout, when your mother says (freakout!) it's time to go to bed" and "the boys don't like the clothes I wear, and they don't like girls with short short hair
(c'mon), living at home is such a drag, it's hard to be feminine when you're not a fag". I would say you should get it on vinyl imo, because its garage rock.

so insane that they have Yoko Ono singing on this. amazing. and it totally works. they have always been fans of hers though. Jack and Julie used to play those Plastic Ono Band records all the time and Bradford had the "Fly" LP up on the wall of the Deerhunter house. Sean Lennon's production is really cool. damn. so good.

i like "In My Mind There's a Dream" the most from the new one so far. very cool keyboard parts. "Lucid Nightmare" has a real Aftermath vibe to it at times. the new members are great. Zumi is killing it on sax! Jack (from K-Holes and the Kiwis of the South Pacific) is an all-time awesome dude. dhe was in their first music video like 14 years ago (?)
