Jonnyboy Posted 14 April, 2015 Share Posted 14 April, 2015 Haha saw them years ago, with Frank. Was pretty crazy, but good fun. Think I read that Frank is back under a new guise.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 16 April, 2015 Share Posted 16 April, 2015 Quite like this, has a bit of a 90's feel with a bit of swirly, jangly guitar pop feel to it. Right up my street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete f*cking nutter. Sounds about right. A mate I went to school with does a lot of filming/photography for bands and managed to do a lot of stuff with Gallows when they were starting to make a name for themselves. He told me this was a semi-regular occurrence. More garage/psych. There's a lot of it about at the moment: Long may it continue, it's a good combo. I like this a lot. Thee Oh Sees new album out soon.

Yeah no banjo, Im actually going to come out amd say I dont mind a bit of their older stuff in parts, couldnt listen to a whole album of it (it similar ways to the way I listen to Oasis or Coldplay.. Bits and bobs) But this new stuff is very good IMO, and very unlike Mumford. I see the snow patrol, its almost a bit british Kings of Leonesque.

The Cat Posted 16 April, 2015 Share Posted 16 April, 2015 Big record labels are the kings. They decide when, what and how bands release stuff. They do deals to get their artists on to playlists and to appear at the best events. They hire super producers then run the music through machines and focus groups which tell them whether it will be a hit or not before throwing a wedge of money at promotion. They are less interested in the actual music or integrity of their artist, merely the amount of profit they make. This is why most of the best and most progressive music is often found on small labels where bands try to do things differently and produce music with feeling that they love. Sometimes these bands throw their lot in with a major label and regret it. Sometimes they become accustomed to their new found fame and wealth and run with it. That's not to say that all bands on major labels are bad, just that often their creativity becomes stifled and their output predictable. It's a tough industry.

It's by far his best, really intimate, moving and atmospheric - no less than you'd expect from an album about a man looking back on his life after his mother dies. Really beautiful stuff.

lifeintheslowlane Posted 7 May, 2015 Share Posted 7 May, 2015 (edited) I know there are some Sufjan Stevens fans on here, been spinning his latest album today. It's by far his best, really intimate, moving and atmospheric - no less than you'd expect from an album about a man looking back on his life after his mother dies. Really beautiful stuff. I'm always wary of recommending Sufjan to others...he's someone you either "get" or you don't; I know it's a cliche but it's true. Here comes another couple of cliches...the whole is greater than the sum of the parts and there's something "magical" about his music. Lord knows there are enough parts if you listen to albums like "Michigan" and "Illinois", multi-layered, you can listen to them for years and are still surprised by things you've missed in the past. The remarkable thing is on first listen they seem simple but reveal themselves a little at a time. If you read the reviews on Amazon for "Illinois" you begin to realise the effect he has on people...OK Amazon isn't the most critical of places to get a balanced view but it does give you an idea of the reverence he draws from his fans/lovers. For me "Illinios" is the entry...sit relax, put the headphones on an listen to it in one go. Edited 7 May, 2015 by lifeintheslowlane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After listening to that song you've now launched me into a weekend-long journey through everything he's recorded! Michigan was my first Sufjan album and was immediately taken with it. When Illinois arrived I immediately put the headphones on and started it...by track 5 I wanted to run into the street to proclaim his genius and by the end was prepared to lobby to fast-track his route to Sainthood. I'm not a religious person but there are gems of stunning beauty on his Christmas albums and Seven Swans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 16 May, 2015 Share Posted 16 May, 2015 Seven Swans is a great album. I got into him through that because at the time I was listening to a lot of electronica. His evolving output has somewhat mirrored my changing music taste although he's yet to attempt a reggae album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
