Have enjoyed this on the couple of spins I've given it. The Live In Gothenburg album makes them sound like a great live act too, especially the second track that just keeps bubbling away until it hits boiling point right at the end.

i like this! and it's not what i expected (based on the name and the fact that it's not very-much-in-character lex music). it makes me think vangelis + reich.

yeah i wish i'd been in london to see them live the other night.
i didn't really know what to expect when i first played it, i think something about it made me *know* it would sort my hangover out that day, and it did.

One of these dudes worked on the Fever Ray album right? That's a tick in my book.

This is pretty great. I hear a lot more Tangerine Dream than Reich, just know that these guys will be doing soundtrack work eventually.

I saw these guys at Cafe Oto last week, they killed live. There was a hell of a lot more energy than I expected, did a big trancey encore that had me gurning into my IPA

This record is really good, reminds me of a more sombre Delia & Gavin.

Hmm...I remember thinking their s/t was underwhelming but given the love I should check the new one out.

Yeah, I really liked the live EP and the album seemed really engaging on first listen but it's the sort of thing that I'm guessing you need to spend a lot of time with.

have played this twice now and think it's really wonderful (that second-to-last track is esp. a killer)

Really like this but not sure I could take it with a hangover, it's way too wibbly for that.

Is it much different from the album they released about a year ago?
― Glo-Vember (dog latin), Friday, 18 November 2011 12:14 (fourteen years ago)
I'd say it's different in the sense of being better, anyway. Didn't think much of the previous one, this one is pretty good.

i like this a lot but it is kind of lengthy and distant so it's hard to pin its place on my year-end list
but whatever it rules

penultimate track reminds me a bit of this tbh

I don't understand how their stuff would help a hangover when it sounds like the sweaty, exhausted, roughest parts of the morning after the night before. That isn't a criticism though - this new album sounds so raw and strung-out, really intense without the sense of opulent "epicness" that similar stuff often falls victim to.
