They've gotta be on the show now. Fallon is already a fan.

11/21/2012 7:21:18 PM

I've been calling for it for years

11/21/2012 8:16:08 PM

11/22/2012 9:54:35 AM

I'm seeing them at Bowery ballroom in a few weeks. Should be fun.

1/21/2014 7:09:45 AM

the video makes me so happy and I can't really explain why

1/21/2014 5:25:07 PM

oh nice they're on 4AD now

1/21/2014 5:43:03 PM

seeing FI in Austin, TX in April. Haven't had a chance since 2011

1/21/2014 7:02:27 PM

They went to ECU right? Are they from eastern NC? Are they farmer/rodeo folk? Doesn't quite seem to fit the synthy hipster stereotype. Seasons/People change all over the world, just wonder why they chose that demographic to show.

1/22/2014 1:21:50 PM

short answer: music is universal

1/22/2014 1:39:38 PM

The vocals seem.....weak, to me. The mix isn't doing it any justice, that's for sure. No lows.

1/22/2014 1:41:57 PM

meh, i'll hold out judgment on how it's mixed once higher quality versions than youtube are available

1/22/2014 2:33:38 PM

national television debut tonight on the Late Show with David Letterman

!

3/3/2014 1:31:40 PM

Anyone have two tickets for haw river ballroom they want to sell? Willing to pay a decent amount.

PM me ASAP

lawl, as a side note, I'll probably see them in Münster I just realized I'll be really close by

that was everything

I totally get what parenting is all about now, seeing as how I feel like a proud parent

they fucking did it

3/4/2014 12:47:19 AM

Letterman was into it

3/4/2014 12:49:17 AM

I'll take all of that you got

Proud parent? Is this like that time you said you were responsible for the playlist of a Girls episode?

3/4/2014 9:51:26 AM

haha i love the guttural death metal vocals around 3:10

3/4/2014 10:08:04 AM

Thought I had gotten a ticket to the Haw River show a while back, but apparently now. Was able to get one just above face value at StubHub today; hopefully it isn't a scam. :|

really?

3/4/2014 12:08:13 PM

I've posted this all over the internet, but asking Paul what he thought is a big deal.

Report from after they went off the air is that Dave said, "If I had moves like that, y'all could kiss my ass."

I may have two extra tickets for the Haw River show, but I won't know until Wednesday afternoon.

3/4/2014 12:21:12 PM

hahaha.

what's the origin of their name? i don't follow them.

3/4/2014 12:35:07 PM

There's no deep story. It's just a phrase they were thinking about and it stuck.

3/4/2014 12:58:14 PM

Does it have anything to do with global warming and sea level rise creating future islands that were once hills and mountains? (sorry for the tangent)

3/4/2014 1:06:26 PM

No. It's about vent mounds under the ocean that haven't yet pierced the surface.

3/4/2014 1:09:07 PM

Here's a better video of the performance last night. They did an awesome job, looking forward to the show tomorrow.



So was adding a drummer something that they'd been wanting to do, or is that something that was kinda forced on them by the label?

3/4/2014 2:18:40 PM

I'm pretty sure they recorded and mixed their album out of their own/friends pockets before signing with the new label. If that's true then I guess it was their call.

3/4/2014 2:39:58 PM

i wish the seasons single was on Spotify. I want to have it on repeat.

3/4/2014 3:10:39 PM

^^^ It's 4AD. They don't force you to do anything.

Drummer was their call. The plan was to tour Singles with a drummer long before the album was recorded.

3/4/2014 3:22:49 PM

^Cool deal. Figured you guys would know the answer to that one.

3/4/2014 3:29:07 PM

^^^ yeah same here. I ordered the 7 inch hoping it would come with a digital download too but no luck

[Edited on March 4, 2014 at 3:58 PM. Reason : guess I could buy it on itunes... but I wanted One Day too]

3/4/2014 3:58:07 PM

really surprised One Day isn't going to be on the album. I think it's an amazing song.

3/4/2014 4:05:18 PM

i really love Dave's reaction to their performance.

3/5/2014 1:24:17 PM

it had to be absolutely refreshing for him considering some of the dreck he has to sit through on a regular basis

just the theatrics alone probably did it for him

3/5/2014 1:41:45 PM

overfuckingrated

3/5/2014 3:08:15 PM

his dance moves remind me of an early-80s American Bandstand teenybopper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEiCcdm7gwY


catchy song though

3/5/2014 3:59:16 PM

^^ u mad?

3/5/2014 4:27:49 PM

how can one be overrated when they aren't even rated in either direction in the grand scheme of things?

shit's weak

3/5/2014 4:39:46 PM

guess I'm taking off work April 28

3/5/2014 4:41:56 PM

saw them last night at the orange peel

good stuff as always

3/5/2014 8:04:37 PM

fucking awesome show at orange peel last night

^^What's april 28?

playing cat's cradle Sunday night the 27th

3/5/2014 10:29:46 PM

^ Damn, it IS on the cats cradle site. They're going to bust ass back from alabama that quick?

3/6/2014 12:54:57 AM

great, as always

highlights were Tin Man w/drums, The Great Fire w/Wasner, and Ed Schrader's Music Beat doing Springsteen doing Lorde

sadly, waaaay too many people weren't appreciating how great it was for them to have a drummer again. I suppose that comes with the territory, though.

[Edited on March 6, 2014 at 1:39 AM. Reason : hell of a fucking venue, too]
