Are there any links to more of their music? There's nothing on their myspace and their website is down.

The synth on the cover of 'That's Weird' is an Elka OMB5 btw.

The lyrics of 'Motel 6' are just brutal, incidentally.

lmao at a girl's comment on my fb link to this video: "i went from being mildly interested to fast-forwarding to see if it got better to eye rolling to i wish good music could exist again to i need to start a country band to never mind, i think i hate all music, including my own."

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:16 (eleven years ago) link

mission accomplished, at least she wont start a terrible country band

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:16 (eleven years ago) link

I should have been clearing out these cupboards, but I've been listening to all these tracks instead. I love how there's absolutely no compromise made to the listener at all, no attempt to make the music. Some might label the music as incompetent, but it reminds me of Trout Mask Replica - this is is music that's deliberately been made this way.

Hey, if you're still reading this thread, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to the UK. There are at least a few good promoters who are either already loving you or are into similar stuff. We can make this happen, plz plz plz.

Yeah I think Everett True talking about it has helped it break bigger.

Ha, that's indirectly my fault (my friend passed it on to him). Love the review, though, actually.

emil.y, Saturday, 27 April 2013 13:35 (eleven years ago) link

First watch of this I was all
"Urrrgh what is this shit!"
Ten watches later
Friend "What are you up to?"
Me "I wanna make the sky cum, I wanna make the sky cum."
Fantastic song. Love the rest of the tunes.

TheScienceLaw, Saturday, 27 April 2013 16:59 (eleven years ago) link

I knew as soon as I heard there was a reddit thread that I didn't want to read the reddit thread

brony orlando (crüt), Saturday, 27 April 2013 17:51 (eleven years ago) link

Sometimes I think that reddit is just an idiot magnet.
I'm listening to this on repeat. It's a 9 minute song, but it doesn't feel anything like as long as 9 minutes. It's not like 'Bohemian Rhapsody', which feels like a real chore to listen to even once.

Camp Macaroni Style (snoball), Saturday, 27 April 2013 18:02 (eleven years ago) link

im scared it was a "friend" of mine who posted it on reddit after seeing it on my fb
the person who started the thread is from east tn :/

The melody of this song is sort of creepy to me. I think the lyrics and visuals are fun but theres an eerie undercurrent too.., anyone else get this?

I have made the claim that this is my favourite song of the '10s. Think it is probably true.

I was thinking about this last week.

an opportunity thick enough to taste (snoball), Saturday, 9 April 2016 16:51 (eight years ago) link

I managed to catch their live show. It lived up to the promise of the video but was way too short! stupid DIY aesthetic where the shitty bands get as long on stage as the good ones.

it's obviously a work of genius

I just searched for "Hot Fruit" on Apple Music to see if this song was on there, but all the results were about Gaz Coombes.
