b born droid Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Feels and Sung Tongs are both great albums. I've never seen them live but seen videos that look pretty shit, but their albums are fucking sweet. You're wrong and a grotesquely ugly freak.

b born droid Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Go listen to either of those albums and then make an opinion, because hvaing seen video footgae of them live I didn't really think it was a fair reflection on their albums. I need to go eat right now so I can't explain at length why they are good, but in short, they have very good melodies and vocal harmonies, combined with decent rhythmical parts which are often vocal too. Plus they have quite a prog feel to their songs in their length and arrangements. It's good stuff. Maybe smoke more weed?! They have a nice production 'sound' too. Very organic.

Zephyr_Nova Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'd never heard of them until now. They're pretty irritating judging from this song. I want to punch their vocalist.

Captain Hideous Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If I smoke lots of pot and still don't enjoy AC, should I move on to heroin and give it another go? I'll risk addiction if you promise me I'll find great art while drooling on myself.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Everyone adores their upcoming album Strawberry Jam but there is nothing special about it, seriously.

Guest Max Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) i saw the battles live. it was awesome. i bought the album. not so awesome, but still 3 tracks very good to come back to. something similar with AC. it's like CocoRosie without vocals but on Synthies, and i like it. you can't get into everything, btw. edit: plus - i think warp didnt want to copy AC at all. it's just... art is beyond laptop aesthetics these days. go and see who played the fucking reactable live and how. you can't do that with merzbow.

The Green Kingdom Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) I prefer Sung Tongs and Feels to their earlier noisy stuff. Admittedly, they do provoke many a wtf? on first listening, but these two albums have really grown on me over the last couple years. As they progress their stuff seems to be becoming much catchier (particularly the awesome Panda Bear album). I think they are one of the few acts that actually have a somewhat original sound within the context of current rock/pop/electronic music. The new Battles album is great as well- much more melodic than I was expecting...
