This astroturfed bullshit sucks ass
Incredible
Yeah it’s great dude. I love some of their early stuff.Easily the best Simple Minds song.
Been on Sleep Token recently. Will check these guys out.Found this band in a Spotify playlist. Japanese Dreampop/Shoegaze/Rock. It's wonderful. Been listening to them all weekend.
Hitsujibungaku - 1999
Just listened, the optics and politics are tiresome but at face value of a man and a guitar, singing with passion will always appeal to me.
Incredible
That'll be cool dude. Had Singles on this morning and forgot how good an album that is. Good energy to it. Enjoy the gig.Haven't stopped listening to War on Drugs for the past month. Them and Future Islands, who im going to see in Cambridge next Tuesday.
Thanks mate, yeah im buzzing for it to be honest! There's a few amazing tracks on that album for sure. No point singling one of them outThat'll be cool dude. Had Singles on this morning and forgot how good an album that is. Good energy to it. Enjoy the gig.

I saw Future Islands last year and saw The War On Drugs this year. Both gigs were brilliant. How was it for you?That'll be cool dude. Had Singles on this morning and forgot how good an album that is. Good energy to it. Enjoy the gig.
I have had War on Drugs complete collection on random today and can enjoy every single one of their tracks. I have heard of them for a few years (since Holding on was on the FIFA soundtrack and it became my favourite song) but never really listened beyond red eyes. Since i watched their Glastonbury set on iPlayer i have been kicking myself it took so long to get into their other stuff because they've just finished a european tour. Now I'm going to have to wait a year or two to see them, but when i do i know its going to be special.New Slowdive album is out! On my third listen already. It's wonderful.

There's something moreish about both of them. Could easily have their stuff on loop all day.
Keep a look out for when they do tour/gig in the UK next. They seem fairly active at the moment and they've got a good fanbase here. The gig that I went to in Brighton was packed and they got a superb response. All depends on when they go back into the studio to record. It'll be worth it, though. Under The Pressure was huuuuge when they played that. The actual recorded track is great, but they superseded it with the version they played that night. When it kicked back in...wow.I have had War on Drugs complete collection on random today and can enjoy every single one of their tracks.

Future Islands i have been telling everyone they were great live, but in truth i was abit disappointed. 10/10 for performance value and i loved the music and all the tracks no question, but the feckers took "Hit the coast" off their setlist for the first time in months, when its my favourite song, and also his voice was struggling to hit the high notes, which i wouldn't mind so much but he also insists on singing out of time to the music on every song and sometimes i just wanted him to sing it how im used to hearing it . I spent the days after just listening to the albums because i will always love those tracks no matter what.
That tune partially shaped my life. Total classicBrilliant band Research Chemicals is also a killer song.
Listening to this these days
As is this
Yeah it kind of veers into right wing man baby territory.This astroturfed bullshit sucks ass
The Slab is sooo good, but why does it have to end with a fade out instead of building to a more satisfying conclusion? Kinda disappointing, but it sounds fantastic either way so I can't complain too much. Chained to a Cloud is just totally lovely, as is Prayer Remembered, but I felt like it was building to a big wall of distorted guitars, so again, a little disappointed with how that one ends.New Slowdive album is out! On my third listen already. It's wonderful.
Absolutely brilliant song and a very underrated band.That tune partially shaped my life. Total classic
I've been listening to it a lot since release. Been listening to the new Chemical Brothers album too...I've had that one on an absurd amount of times!The Slab is sooo good, but why does it have to end with a fade out instead of building to a more satisfying conclusion?

I'm struggling a fair bit to get into the rest of the album, so for now, self-titled is still much better than this one overall, IMO.
