I agree. the first original sounding (even if they borrow things from others) breakout band in the last year or two imo. (there's been a lot of great records in the last two years, just not too many new exciting bands) 7/13/2011 10:53:47 PM |

I love Beirut
and I used to love The National when I was a heaping emotional mess circa 2005 or so
but damn, I bet that show was an absolute snoozefest.

Still trying Wu Lyf. It's becoming more enjoyable...but not my favorite thing of the year by any means.
Washed Out however...HOLY FUCK I can't get enough. It sounds like if The Antlers got laid. Just played it straight on loop driving from Asheville to Raleigh. Totally amazing... 7/14/2011 11:00:03 PM |

i thought the washed out was okay as well.
i'm not a big fan of many of the bands in that sub-genre, but as far as "those bands" go, i thought it was a hell of a lot better than the last two Cut Copy records. (.... awaits backlash....) 7/18/2011 8:49:18 AM |

I wouldn't really put Cut Copy in the same sub-genre as Washed Out. I guess they're both vaguely electronic-leaning, but Cut Copy's sound is a lot bigger and poppier than Washed Out's to me.7/19/2011 5:11:46 PM |

I honestly don't understand how someone couldn't enjoy a song as big and catchy as "Lights & Music," "Hearts on Fire," or "So Haunted." I'm curious to hear what you think is annoying about them. 7/19/2011 7:43:11 PM |
khcadwal All American 35165 Posts user info edit post |
i like cut copy and washed out and find it hard(er) to compare the two since i don't find them THAT similar
but yea i agree w/ ^
that ^ cut copy album was SO freaking catchy and their cradle show (2? years ago?) was really really REALLY fun. fun fun fun. will def see them again.
washed out at hopscotch last year was just kinda meh to me. i REALLY liked the first washed out. this one is fine, too it just isn't an "omg my fav" type of deal
i would feel more comfortable comparing washed out to toro y moi and i think i would vote toro on that. i do like both a lot though.

yall discussin the merits of some boring shit. i already told you that cheveu's 1000 is the best release of the year (even though it may have come out last year). what's the second best release you may ask? why it's the reissue of destroyer's ideas for songs, of course! and the brain f record is going to rule a ton. 7/20/2011 10:38:41 AM |

I can kind of agree with that... as an album I think it works really well together but I also don't feel like there's too many tracks that jump out as being better than others (Blackwater excluded, that song rules) 7/27/2011 5:09:59 PM |
