Fuck the band Pocahaunted

hate em hate em hate em. say em tonight, the parts i could remember from this essay ran through my head the whole time. buncha bullshit

Oh no you don't...

They have gone off the Internet because of you. Well and everywhere else too.

yeah FUCK THEM

WORST BAND EVER AMIRITE GUYS

lol @ "Dresden Blue" - <3 for Kandia Crazy Horse but a little research goes a long way

triangle

thx god

this band was really bad, r.i.p,

Perfection, of a kind, was what they were after,
And the poetry they invented was easy to understand;
She knew human folly like the back of her hand,
And was greatly interested in disney and weed;
When they laughed, respectable scenesters burst with laughter,
And when they cried the little children died in the streets.

all the instruments agree
the day of their breakup was a pretty chill day

i'm glad i saved that .rar file of their ep. shit's gonna be worth something one day

I kind of liked a couple of things I heard, but didn't hear much. There's a stupid interview with one of them in The Wire this month: "Although I realise it's really un-reggae of me to say this, not only does the idea of marijuana not interest me, the whole creative aura of 'being stoned' is a huge turn off. At most I'll sip some CHILLED CHAMPAGNE* while I record vocals".

* That's why they call it chillwave, kids.

anybody who sips anything chilled while recording vocals is posing so hard I don't even know what to say

so un-reggae

Great jingle, chilled vocals, so nice!

i thought they were like a salem-y dark triangle drone band

That's pretty un-reggae

yeah - i associate them with Fursaxa and that whole scene of moanwavey hippies that aspire to be Charalambides

i wanted to be the first to write moanwave :(

Not surprised at the hate but COME ON PEOPLE THIS IS BETTER THAN BEST COAST COME ON SERIOUSLY

yeah pocahaunted were okay. srsly i dont really get why some bands inspire so much *hate* on this board. i guess its bc they are girls who will never fuck you?

like i realise school was a traumatic time 4 u

yeah pocahaunted were okHUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN UUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

idgi is that 140characters?

FYI Animal Collective look nothing like the girls in high school who wouldn't fuck me

i don't hate pocahaunted, t, i just wanted to express moanwave schadenfreude

I mean, the renegotiated Pocahaunted without Bethany was pretty awesome live, and their only record, Make it Real, sort of registered to me as a psychedelic ESG.

Sort of sad to see that potential go out.

OTM

I mean what's the point of hating this band? They were always a cult band, it's not like thousands of people are creaming over them. Pretty easy to justify hating them, but easier to ignore them.

Pocahaunted were great. didn't care for the new line up album though.

I don't really have an opinion either way. The only thing of theirs I own is the split 2xCD with Robedoor, with which I mainly fawn over the Robedoor tracks and let the Pocahaunted ones wash over me.

LA Vampires are awesome

loved Make It Real and the LA Vamps/Zola J album; two of my favorites from last year

never checked out make it real, but LOVE the zola jesus collab. have i erred?

all references of a psychedelic ESG are otmfm

well shit, those are some goddam references

Have yall heard the So Unreal collab with Matrix Metals? It's my favorite so far. Nice to hear at least one member of Pocahaunted is still making interesting music.

thread should have been called "Fuck the band Best Coast"

"un-reggae"

ugh i HATE the ZJ/LAV split!!!!!

un-cres

i think LA Vampires is awful and boring and hideous music.

yeah that slpit w/ zola jesus is s0 shitty
but then everything zola jesus does is butt

^ DISQUALIFIED

i like the vast majority of ZJ but im sorry that split w LAV was poor

thought so at first, but came to like it. brings back the haze that i liked so much on the early ZJ releases.

that haze is pollution: noise pollution

would post "julius and ethel" as a rebuttal but no tubes :(

yeah - i associate them with Fursaxa and that whole scene of moanwavey hippies that aspire to be Charalambides

":(" - a person who cares about hipsters

we all need love, lamp

it's nice to care about things sometimes, u no?

such as hipsters

what's folks' beef w/ howling ghostly awake-dream dub?

silver igloo bean most rampant sun dust map?

;)

I smell a new poll

But seriously, imo, the LA Vamps album and Make it Real, along with the Anika album to create a sort of group of female-fronted albums that have a sort of dark-psych take on late '70s/early '80s postpunk tropes, with maybe The Fool (darkwave psychrock) on one end of this spectrum, and Stridulum (goth torch songs w/ gloomy postpunk production) on the other...

(^that was probably not one iota more coherent than "howling ghostly awake-dream noise- dub")

alright, drugs, i tried w/ that LA vampires album, really i did, but i couldn't get there. it seems to be doing something similar to a lot of acts i like (sun araw, for instance), but it's too wispy for me to grab hold of, and her vocals bug. wish they were more buried, more processed, or... more better, you know? the music's nice, in a vague sort of trippin on clouds way, but only i'm not sure they're enough to hold my attention on its own.

will try again, cuz i don't hate it, but i'm not getting the ESG thing. more like j-pop via wicked witch (which at least sounds good in theory).

"...but only i'm not sure they're ^it's enough to hold my attention..."

since i mentioned it earlier, zola jesus' "julius & ethel"

i don't understand my post right at the very top. i've never even heard of this band.

Make It Real is a Pocahaunted album, not an LA Vampz one; you may be listeninv to something I haven't heard...?

It is hard to get a handle on; it's a lot cleaner than the LA Vampz/Zola J album, but it still has some similarities to that album...I find ESG to be a bit hard to get a handle on too, but they share the sort of leaner, minimalist band thing but with weak-ish female vocals. But ESG deal in rock-solid simple funk bass riffs while Pocahaunted is more about the psychedelic guitar'n'organ soup...

Haven't listened to Sun Araw yet, or Wicked Witch for that matter, but I do think it sounds somewhat like OOIOO (who themselves heavily homage the Slits)

whoa, I nearly flew into one then till I realised you said OOIOO and not oOoOo. I liked the matrix metals collab a lot more than the zola jesus. Im fucking my noise dude cred here but at times I just wish the vocals werent so goddamn bad

havent heard the matrix metals collab (yet)

allright, now i'm thoroughly confused. help me, drugs! (just wanted to say that.)

i thought that the Matrix Metals collab, So Unreal, WAS was the "LA Vampires album" you were endorsing, and that's what i've been listening to. as you may have gathered, i'm not too keen on it, though it's perhaps worth a listen. replaces the psych/industrial dream-dub with fractured 80s pop & funk moves. if you meant the Zola Jesus collab, then heck yah, i love that to death!

yeah i dont love ZJ's split w burial hex or tsar bomba either, so i feel pretty internally-consistent today!

what I am talking about

Make It Real is a Pocahaunted album

only LA Vamps album I've heard is the Zola J collab

Make It Real is a Pocahaunted album

^ this i still haven't heard. is it comparable to the ZJ split, or just cool on its own terms?

cool on its own terms; I grouped it with Zola Jesus album before I even knew that LA Vamps was the girl from Pocahaunted, but its much more rock-oriented

cool, "rock oriented" is often a plus in my book. will check.

right on; i like it

listening to make it real again because of this thread of confusion

still really enjoy it and i stand by my "psychedelic esg" idea, though i'd maybe emphasize all of the dub in there

^that psychedelic ESG description is what got me into the album...thx a lot dude! It's totally rad!
