01. Falling Over

02. Twins

03. Higher Than the Stars

04. 103

 

Exciting. :wub: Released just two weeks after 'Come Saturday' will be released as a single with a new b-side 'Side Ponytail'. Loff.

I have a live version of '103' and it's good. I like their artwork as well. ;D

Thanks for this news - where did you find out about it?

 

Best new band for years and years and years. I absolutely love them.

It's on Pitchfork.

Aha! Cheers - should point out actually that 22nd Sept is a Tuesday (the US new release date) so I hope Fortuna Pop have the EP for release the same week.

The artwork is fabulous. :wub: Agreedzz. They sure are putting out music quickly. As long as they keep up the quality, I'm okay with that though.

I've just done an interview with Kip, the lead singer from the band over on my website :)

Thanks for that, 'tis a good read. Second album is coming out a bit soonish like. :o

Second album? Higher than the Stars is just an EP - is there an LP too? Damn, should have asked Kip about that!

"I don`t know that much about movies," sighs Kip. "But Kurt [Feldman, drums, whose other band The Depreciation Guild carry on outside the Pains` success. "Our second album comes out in January, 2010 -- there will be some touring in the US / Europe to support that." he says] is really into the movie Teen Witch [the 1989 `classic` starring Robyn Lively], about a teenager who is also a witch."

 

:o?

Oooh I can't wait. Their debut is divine. 'Young Adult Friction' definitely one of the years best singles. :wub:

Ah, that's The Depreciation Guild's second album, Kurt Feldman's other band which I think he plays guitar in.

Hear 'Higher Than the Stars' here:

Leaked you say? Downloading now you say?

Leaked at the weekend I say! Brilliant EP and further proof that they're the best band out there just now.

This is a pale, pale imitation of late 80s indie. Call it twee, C86 or whatever, this is just very poor.

 

 

I really like this a lot, one of the tracks on the EP, its beautiful.

I think the stuff on the EP is better than most of the stuff on the album. Wonderful.

This is a pale, pale imitation of late 80s indie. Call it twee, C86 or whatever, this is just very poor.

 

Utter nonsense. It's a perfect tribute to late 80s indie and poor it certainly aint. Is it not refreshing to have a band so obviously influenced by good, undersung music than yet another off the indie-pop production line?

I find it exceedingly slight and would much rather listen to Talulah Gosh, The Shop Assistants, The Chesterfields or The Brilliant Corners than this.

 

It doesn't tread any new ground for me and could have been released by Sarah at any point during the last 15 years. Which does not mean it's timeless by the way.

 

In fact for late 80s inspired indie I would much rather listen to The Twilight Sad or A Place To Bury Strangers.
