What part is the Cale drone in Hocus Pocus? Or is just the droney-synth throughout the song?

It's a little tough so say but yea, I think it's that kind of ghost-like moaning that's going on throughout the track. There's some parts, especially the outro, where it really sticks out more.

Hey could someone crunchitize me on that clean bird haha I just woke up

I have a 320 freebird but it still sounds distorted, is this that same one or is it actual full quality?

Golden Gal is such an amazing song. That video is whatever but I'm so glad this song is out there. It almost hurt the first time I heard it.

Not big on the video. Like five or six different animations looped over and over again until the end. Boggles my mind that the animators/producers/whatever wouldn't work to make something that grows or has some sort of narrative.

I suppose it's all about the budget at that point.

cover art for golden gal is panda's face again? huh. (nothing wrong with that, was either expecting geo to round out the set or avey, since it seems to be his song)

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:32 pm

Well I'm definitely liking Golden Gal more now with full quality!

That last Panda part in the end is nice

Golden Gal is their Bohemian Rhapsody

SPLENDID
(I can't understand negative reviews)

I love Golden Gal so much more after watching the video.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:54 pm

The ambient opening to Bagels is so beautiful.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:55 pm

On Delay is like Feels and Strawberry Jam had a babby

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:57 pm

Haven't heard freebird yet. The reverb addled repeat of the little blip thing in the new golden gal is really great. Made me laugh. Of the 3 singles I vastly vastly prefer lying in the grass. I might end up preferring much different tracks to everybody else. Goddamn if this isn't as good as music can possibly sound tho any one know who engineered and mixed this? Was it Ben Allen?

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 5:57 pm

I really like this album a lot. it has this islandy, melodic, sing-song sound to it mixed with those grungy thrums and I think it has a unique but still somehow reminiscent feel.

I can't stop listening to golden gal and hocus pocus and a few others and I haven't even had a chance to listen to it while not at work, hehe. amazing album

good job, AC!

Yes. But IV, not III.

I don't get why some people seem to be ranking Summing The Wretch so low. It has one of the best beats in my opinion.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:08 pm

Same. Summing the Wretch stood out to me immediately after the first listen. I wouldn't say I like it more than Golden Gal, Bagels, or Burglars but it's in my top 5.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:09 pm

On Delay

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:09 pm

I'm not even sure what to think of Recycling. Not at all what I expected.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:10 pm

Still think Summing the Wretch, Natural Selection, and Spilling Guts sound pretty samey, but I'm sure I'll move past that. Haven't got a chance to listen to this loudly through speakers yet, and it's blatantly an album that demands to be listened that way.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:13 pm

I think Recycling is a stand out. It's catchy but instrumentally rather than vocally like the rest of the album. There is video game music sounding stuff happening, so crazy. The very end is extremely different than older stuff.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:16 pm

The second half of The Burglars was the stand out for me - especially PB's vocals.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:17 pm

midi sequencing all ovr this record

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:17 pm

On Delay and Golden Gal have mainstream potential, such infectious beats!

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:18 pm

imagine Alexis petridis listening to the burglars and thinking it sounds horrible hahaha

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:19 pm

Can we start a new thread? The album has just dropped but most of the posts here are just speculation and noise.

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:32 pm

I am having difficulty absorbing this record.

Each song feels so different and so much better every time I go through, it doesn't many any sense! Songs I didn't like the first time around are songs I jam to the hardest now! I LOVE IT

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2016 6:33 pm

The record is flat out stunning.

Stray thought: when cHz dropped it was like it's own galapagos island, a freaky carnal de-spiritualized outlier in the canon. But Painting With and Grim Reaper retroactively place cHz on a very clear sonic trajectory...and do a shit-ton to validate it.
