-First impression: it was interesting, it reminded me of other avant-folk albums like "The Marble Index" and Big Blood's "Space Gallery Jan. 27, 2007 / Sahara Club Jan. 28, 2007", yet I felt there was something missing, something to make it stand out from other similar albums. The singer's voice is an acquired taste, and I'm a sucker for these irritating, high pitched female vocals usually, but this time it didn't move me at all. At times I just wanted to skip a track and be done with it or just switch it off completely.
I gave it a second spin, and nothing really changed. Maybe, listening to it during a cold dark winter night would make me appreciate it more, but it has been pretty warm and sunny this week, no luck. I'll try it again when the weather worsens.
Technically, the album goes to the last person who has recommend something to someone, in this case Gowienczyk. But tbh, I've seen this one mentionned quite a few times on here (I'm pretty sure Geevy is a fan), and even though I was a bit prejudiced against it at first (it was promoted by Deezer at the times, and things promoted by Deezer are usually not too good), I think I'll definitely give it a spin then. Also anything compared to the Beach Boys instantly piques my interest xD
So thanks, consider you've given it to two persons 😉
Ahah right then, for Gowienczyk, although I would have chosen something different if I knew beforehand. It's sometimes difficult to know what's going on here. 😜
Although I made that comparison, it's more Indie Rock than the innocent surf rock of the early Beach Boys records but I think it captures the summer feeling perfectly (especially on tracks like "Sur la planche 2013").

Well I think you can still edit your previous post to change it, chances are that he hasn't seen it yet anyway 😄
A really dynamic release. I will need to spend more time with this in the future (especially given its short length) but all I will say for now is that it is incredibly thrilling. I'm interested in your comparison of it to Unknown Pleasures - mind elaborating?
Also, I'm opting out of the thread for a bit to focus on re-listening to old favorites and finishing up my (currently 125 album strong) backlog to flesh out my Overall chart, but thanks for the good recommendations so far and I should be back before you know it!

For me, some of the patterns heard in the pieces have very similar counterparts in UP. It's obviously WAY more mental than UP could hope to be, but like the second movement's intro is VERY similar to "Disorder", and frankly the main part on that song, while it becomes more Merry-Go-Round-Go-Wrong ish, still maintains something of a Sumner solo. The 4th movement, for whatever reasons, reminds me of like Legend of Zelda meets JD, though that one's not as exact. It has its moments, it's not a great comparison, and frankly now that my horizons have been so broadened, there's better ones to make, but that's where I'm coming from. _________________

Yeah, I didn't think it was a bad comparison, just one that I didn't fully feel right off the bat. I'll listen to it again with those thoughts in mind, though.
