LONERISM

Glad they (he) stuck to the same aesthetic/sound as Innerspeaker and took it out even further. 9/10 for me. I'm a fan.




That's the infamous Jardin du Luxembourg on the cover :

the perfect spot for Parisian peeps working on their tan coming back from their Southern holidays.





On the entry it's written 'Dogs even on a leash are not so welcome inside'. For those who were wondering...

First couple of listens and I'm digging this set.





First listen, yes, Beatles in psych mode comparisons have validity.


Second time around and the High Llamas come to mind.

Really enjoying this too. Highlights on the new record are nothing that has happened so far has been anything we could control and apocalypse dreams. Comparisons to psych beatles are a great compliment for any band imo.

Ahhh dismissive axe ricky, the point is not that it's been done before (what hasn't?), it's that it can still exist in 2012.





Good music is good music. I try to approach things for their own artistic merit. Everyone interprets their influences through a new lens and that's what keeps all this schitt going. Shrugging something off because it sounds like something you know is missing the forest for the trees.





I shouldn't have to explain this to you.




I hear ya. I suppose it has to do with me never really getting into the Beatles.

 

[StoneHands]

I liked it. Not as much as their first though - I felt like they sacrificed a bit on the songwriting and concentrated on the sound/aesthetics. Which is cool, and obviously the record sounds great (Id agree that the drums are too compressed though), but I cant find a "Solitude Is Bliss" or "Its not meant to be" quality of songwriting on this LP.

Gave it a listen through while deep in the depths of sickness last week and it went in one ear and out the other without leaving much of an impression. Positive feedback on here will encourage me to give it another go this week though disappointed that he seems to have entirely dropped the good bits of the Stone Roses influence from his song writing.

Finally getting around to listening to this... would agree with what most have said... didn't floor me quite like Innerspeaker, but super dope nonetheless. That would have been near impossible to pull off with a follow up release anyway. I'm loving the Stereolab vibe to it too... miss that sound!

 

[Burns]

This is good, is has more of a strung-out stoner vibe to it.


I played Innerspeaker to death in the car system, I get to play Lonerism on the turntable which will make for a different TI experience.





Which songs are yall dj's playing out? I know Elephant.


I'm loving "Keep on Lying" grooved the fuck out.

 

[Burns]

North America Tour dates just released!!! They are actually coming thru Kentucky in March, fuck yeah. Tickets go on sale this weekend for all dates. Dec. 1st!!

 

[Jimster]

Hmmm... Never been smitten with the Beatles or Roses.





I suspect my boat will remain unfloated and my goat hella dormant.

Throw all those inquisitions out the window, its just people trying make a relation to other bands. There is a dose of the beatles vocals in dudes voice. This stuff is spaced out.
