Supported SVIIB last night at the Scala. Ended up enjoying it - kind of Erasure vocals over the top of bog standard blogtronica. But not really feeling the YouToob posted above.

Also saw him (them, it was a duo live) opening for SVIIB -- really great and we chatted a bit afterwards. I said something about how it reminded me of a-ha and Alphaville and they were all "Two of our favorite bands!"

Anyone else here hearing "When Your Love Is Safe" = Gin Blossoms "Follow You Down" on helium?
And what's up with those overly-loud '80s-drum-machine handclaps? More cowbell!

― A41 (admrl), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 20:33 (thirteen years ago)
Album's beautiful ... I do think it's a bit same-y throughout, in the sense that the compositions are really packed and a bit more aggressive in a slow, icy way than this earlier stuff. I could use a moment or two with some space and quietude, but I do like that he did an instrumental ("Way Too Fast"). The White Sea remix of "Hanging On" is nice too, turns the vocals into an almost neon new romantic thing.
― Dare, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 21:59 (thirteen years ago)
I might see him play next month. I wonder what it will be like? I picture white guy, onstage amidst laptops, being mad senti?
― A41 (admrl), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 22:15 (thirteen years ago)
Actually not quite like that, the vibe was more gentle serenity when I saw him last year. Friendly guy too. Also it was a duo for most of the performance I seem to remember.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 22:20 (thirteen years ago)
so...two white guys, onstage amidst laptops, being mad serene?
― A41 (admrl), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 22:21 (thirteen years ago)
Trying to remember if there was only the one. And maybe a guitar even!
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 22:22 (thirteen years ago)
jesus
― A41 (admrl), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 22:24 (thirteen years ago)
iirc theres a dude on drums too and he (the active child) plays the harp and sings
i am definitely seeing him play next month fwiw

I kind of like them, but after only hearing the classixx remix, I didn't expect them to be so full-on falsetto Enya!
― Dan I., Wednesday, 17 August 2011 06:14 (thirteen years ago)
Did not expect this album to turn into quite such an a-ha tribute midway through. Not that that's such a bad thing.
― Stevie T, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 20:10 (thirteen years ago)
A lot of dangerous comparisons being thrown around here

Big fan of the Curtis Lane E.P. - "Take Shelter" being best unsung hero - love this effort. "Playing House" sounds like Mr. Grossi might've spun the Drake/Weekend disc a couple times, but, right nice... and it satisfies my anticipation for this full-length.
― suspecterrain, Thursday, 18 August 2011 04:22 (thirteen years ago)
Another nod goes to The Knife's with High Priestess - but still, very welcome.

Been away from both ILM and from music so long, but this could bring me back.

he put on a great live show in NY last month
― max, Monday, 3 October 2011 20:07 (thirteen years ago)
Ned, :)
Just saw he will be opening for M83.
― tubby permacrocked whorefucker (Lostandfound), Monday, 3 October 2011 20:20 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah, saw that too. Sorry to have missed the club tour earlier this year!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 October 2011 20:26 (thirteen years ago)
Yeah. I've almost listened to zero new music this year, so this is good. What ILM threads are active/good right now for decent 2011 stuff in general?
― tubby permacrocked whorefucker (Lostandfound), Monday, 3 October 2011 22:18 (thirteen years ago)
Can't wait to see him next week, missing Yoko Ono for him, yeesh.
― ste throkes (Ówen P.), Monday, 3 October 2011 23:04 (thirteen years ago)
Saw him again for the second time tonight. Still so good. I really like the fact that there are two ends to his sound, and I still can't work out if I prefer the twinkly harp stuff or the harp-less heavy synths bits.

The new EP is lovely, shimmery goodness.
Hated Ellie Goulding's cover of "Hanging On" but she did good on "Silhouette" - a song so huge it makes my heart want to burst.
