this is awesome thanks arch

Yeah, this is great. Definitely makes me think of Catchy (was Contagious).

no prob guys
i found it out from qualia

[Slothrop]

I have no idea what I was expecting, but this didn't settle all that well with me when I first heard it last night.

Fast forward to it being on repeat today. This bastard is an amalgamation of everything he's done. So looking forward to hearing a crisper version of these cuts ... the drums on Your Card.

so avey and angel are a couple? thats cool. I think im a Deradoorian fan now. Wasn't aware of her prowess as I was never into dirty projectors. Wonder if Avey will produce her first solo album? That would be perfect!

definitely a deradoorian fan. mind raft is super sweet as well as other various tracks that you can find around the internet but not necessarily on any album. high road and you carry the deed are really sweet songs, as is her cover of trying your luck. as for avey producing, i'm pretty sure he produced her last single/seven inch, marichka; also amazing.

[Cussing Bum]

She already had a solo album. I bought it for a dollar at a used place a while back because I recognized her face from Dirty Projectors.

was an ep, though. and from like 2008/2009. think whatever she is working on now could reasonably be called her first solo album. but i think the main question was whether or not avey would produce her album.

[Fan]

Love it when Avey or any other member of AnCo gives an artist a leg up, ie Ariel Pink, or Deradoorian. You know it's gotta be something special when that happens.

[StrangeClams]

I think I've finally adapted to Duplex Trip's new version. maybe that was the plan all along, taking a duple-meter song and tripling it? creating a duplex trip of sorts

[robgnarr]

this is everything i want in an album from avey. so happy gets better every listen

+Roses on the Window and the rest in better quality.

but yes, it does, and i'm sure That it will grow even more. I think this is my favourite Anco related release since Oddsac (tomboy could've been one of my favorites) and although Oddsac (and everything they did before that) felt way more exciting for me I'm very very happy. thanks avey & your slasher flicks.

[snowtire]

Modern Daze E feels so much like a generic indie rock song and I love it

[Stanshant]

I'm so thrilled by this album. It gets better and better, unlike MPP, Tomboy and CHz. I think partly that's not listening to the boots but it's also the subtlety and confidence. It sounds fresh, they've managed to capture a certain energy which recent releases have lacked, maybe due to previously overperforming songs beforehand.

It's pretty weird to be honest, I feel this strange kind of tickly tingle, like when I first got into them through SJ and Feels. I think it might be 'feeling alive'.

[P nu]

im trying not to overlisten to the freebird, but goddamn every time i go back to it, its better

Ah, I didn't realize it was an EP. And I was just giving people a heads up in case they wanted to check it out.

[Hellomark]

Angel's vocals in Blind Babe

Also, I'm honestly kinda surprised that more people haven't been talking about That It Won't Grow. I can understand not liking it, particularly with how jarring some of the changes from the boots are (making Avey's voice all mumbly in the quiet section and that little pause before they go back into the first section both threw me off so much on first listen). But now it's honestly my favorite song on here. I love everything about it. The intensity of Avey's vocal delivery, the contrast between the fiery sounding guitar and Angel's super clean and pretty synth lines, the simplicity of the melody, the fucking immaculate drumming, I could go on. The result just gives me chills every time. Maybe one of the most emotionally complex and beautiful songs that Avey's done since like Fireworks.

[dio]

^that song might be the only casualty of my limited exposure to the boots. I went gaga for it last summer but it hasn't yet come bak around to me. I listened to the boots abt thrice but replayed Grow a lot cuz it kicked my ass so hard. I also remember duplex, babe and colores from the boot cuz they're so damn catchy and none of those seem even close to as good as Sender, Catchy, Card and Modern Daze

Not to say I think boots fuck up listening experiences, just that the novelty factor seems important to how u feel abt songs early on

[rampface]

Dude I was praising That It Won't Grow earlier in this thread! It's sooooo good! Gives me goosebumps. Total post-Feels vibes all over this record.

seriously that first melody in catchy needs to be repeated/longer, it's so good. gets me every time

Yeah that first verse melody is great but I really can't stand the rest of the song, im just not into the song writing/melodies in the rest of the song. The rest of the album is very solid, I love A Sender, Duplex, Little Fang, That, iI Won't Grow, The Outlaw, Strange Colored, and Your Card. MDE and Blind Babe are good but I'm not as into them. The chorus on The Outlaw is probably my favorite part of any song so far.

[El Camino]

When anyone refers to Modern Days E as MDE I can't help but think of Million Dollar Extreme.

[cody]

ever since someone pointed out the similar melody of modern daze to some other song i can only imagine it being played as a nickelodean theme song

[Tico]

i need a better freebird of this to come out omfg

[Ethmin]

"some other song"

hey now, that song has a name and it's, Hey Sandy. And it's fucking great. AND it makes me like Modern Days E so much more.

[basementvoice]

My girlfriend had a cool idea: what if for every album they did a different theme and name, like the next one would have the moniker of "Avey Tare's Creature Feature" it's probably not true but it's cool to think about

[Vovenarg]

ooh ya i do like the idea

[Slothrop]

By the way, there's no actual Avey solo album on the horizon, right? (Just a bit confused by the thread title.)

There is! It's the true follow-up to Down There seemingly, an actual solo LP from what he's said. Will prbly have Slow Words/Jerome/Sometimes/Photographs/Death Raga (Eros). Back to the swamp...

Keep watching this space for updates!

That ... that's ... I ... that's the best thing I've heard all day.

[dio]

Yeah he was thinking a triumvirate of LPs originally but Noah dissuaded him, nipping it in the bud preemptively, so just these 2 in the works (slasher and lp2)

I'm thinking this next one will be somewhere between the live-band/garage-y feel of Slasher House and the digital sometimes-sparseness of Down There, just kind of going off of memories of Slow Words from the boots.

Speaking of Slow Words, that track will have a lyrical brother in Sender, "Feelin' sorry about today, left those words where they should say/ But I decided that those words weren’t ok." vs. "Slow Words. They're fine. But they always take their time to hit the mark/ And they'll probably get there just fine but I gottta get there..."

Let's hope the words announcing a release date aren't too slow

[jerry wonder]

my comment about a freebird was removed? has policy changed on this forum?

[Stanshant]

Nothing confirmed but he did mention the possibility in the recent Pitchfork interview, with reference to the post-Down There material (Song For Jerome, Slow Words et al). I enjoyed much of that stuff more than the 'bitty' Down There so would be very excited to hear it. Slasher Flicks has really rejuvenated me and made me fall in love with Dave's songwriting all over again. I thought CHz was his weakest group of songs since Danse but he's clearly plugging a rich vein right now. I'm absolutely buzzing, melodies and energies racing through my mind. Maybe the band just isn't quite the creative touch point it once was for him...

[jerry wonder]

just hoping to get a pm, am a month late to the game, thanks!

Definitely agree CHz had some weak Dave writing, though I thought TS and Moonjock were up there with his best.

[zak]

does the part where avey sings "catchy was contagious" remind anybody else of "Devil In Her Heart" by the beatles? I dunno, but I think of that song any time I hear Catchy..

it was more than likely deleted because the threads get flooded with "can i get a pm" posts, when you should pm a specific poster who has it instead...

if you see somebody talking about it, PM them directly

no worries, but now you know.

Which AV songs did you like? Did Father Time really move you?

[StrangeClams]

All of them except for Pulleys
Didn't like Rosie Oh either.
tbh those are the only two songs on CHZ i could do without
