Much better than Now We Can See, but not really a return-to-form. They've just kinda accepted their age and taken their sound in a new but positive direction...

Exactly the thing I needed to hear right now, gorgeous pop with many different female vocalists all written and arranged by the awesome Stuart Murdoch, he even sings on two of them!

Heard 'Cartoon Brew' and fell in love. I think I like this style better than Built to Spill, to be honest.

SO much love for this album, it's absolutely awesome. My favourite track being Outside In or Clouds And Faces <3 you never fail to impress with your tastes, man.

Thanks. *blushes*

Where would I go next with this band?

Well, I moved right onto Actual Re-Enactment after Just Kidding

The Chatham Singers - Juju Claudius
Yet another of one of Billy Childish's millions of projects.
This one is has a more bluesy/county feel to it with a lot of the songs being him duetting with Nurse Julie sounding something a bit like a punk rock version of Johnny & June Carter Cash*

*With thanks to Flower Child's last journal entry for inspiring a good analogy for me to save me the effort of having to think one up

Isotope 217 - The Unstable Molecule
Isotope 217 are a more laid back & funky Tortoise side project. If you want an album full of music that sounds like it comes from a 70s cop show this is the album for you.

Phew - Phew
Phew is the alias of Hiromi Moritani a Japanese avant-garde artist who records far too infrequently. She just released her first album in something like 15 years, this isn't it but I've been listening to this to re-acquaint myself to her work. This is her debut from 1981 and features Conny Plank & various members of Can helping out.

Baader Meinhof - Baader Meinhof
Another side project by The Auteurs/ Black Box Recorder's Luke Haines. I bought this back when it came out in 1996 but I don't think I ever really gave it the recognition it really deserves. I mean, how many albums to you own are about 1970s counter terrorism set to a funk background.

No, thought not.

I listened to this a couple of times. I think it was you in another thread that mentioned it. Your description intrigued me, so I checked it out. It's a great album.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 09-16-2010, 12:57 PM

Yeah it's the only album I've heard of hers but I managed to get hold of View & Our Likeness so I shall be checking those out sometime soon.

Some of the DSBM I've ever heard. The vox in this is fucking amazing. And the pain that emanates from it...
