blureu Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I believe they were included on the Sasquatch lineup announced earlier today. Guess they'll hit the west coast then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Wilco Rules Me Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Fan of the Last Broadcast but never got any of their other stuff. I do enjoy that album but I was always worried that it would be more of the same but not as good. Looks like I was wrong (this one time). God loves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Fan of the Last Broadcast but never got any of their other stuff. I do enjoy that album but I was always worried that it would be more of the same but not as good. Looks like I was wrong (this one time). God loves. i think they've gotten better with each album. Some Cities is so underrated. i think it's clearly their best stuff. for example, i'd put the song Snowden against anything on Last Broadcast. that's one of their classics.

Aeglos Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 love all three albums, all get regular spins been waiting for this so long (delayed when Andy had a child, etc) so was keeping a lid on anticipation but allowing myself to get properly excited now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azzurri Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 awesome...pretty big tour this time. i hope they achieve some modest level of success here. and perhaps be as big as Elbow in their home country. thanks for posting solace there are promos of the album out there, but no leak just yet.

solace Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 funny thing is, pretty sure before this latest Elbow record and their Mercury Prize win... they WERE bigger than Elbow in the UK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 you're right...Elbow only really broke out with Seldom Seen Kid. i think Doves were nominated for the Mercury Prize a couple of times too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 you're right...Elbow only really broke out with Seldom Seen Kid. i think Doves were nominated for the Mercury Prize a couple of times too yup, first two records iirc but yeah, both bands are insanely underrated over here in the US Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blureu Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 What a bummer there are no dates south of D.C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 And no MA or CT dates. Straight from Canada to NY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scribex6 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Can't wait to see them. It's been a long wait since they last toured over here. As much as I wish them success in the U.S., I' m glad I can still see them in relatively small venues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 the album is featured on stereogum's "heavy rotation" section...i guess they have a copy. lucky bastards. wonder if we'll get their "premature evaluation" soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azzurri Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00hzzlj they did a session on this radio program today. if you fast forward to 1:16 or so, you can hear the new song, "The Greatest Denier". probably a stripped down version of what appears on the record.

Azzurri Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 well, the album is out there, and it's a monster. Amazing. the production is great. they deserve to be huge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trevor Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 downloading this now, very excited. actually had Some Cities blaring this morning as I was making breakfast...I lost that CD a few years ago and only just got it back in the last month, and I'm enjoying it way more now than I did back when it was originally released. High expectations for this one, and especially excited because I'll be seeing them live in May... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 through track 5 this is REAL good... Winter Hill is just immense. i honestly don't expect them to top the first 2 for me ever, but this one is off to a better start than Some Cities got with me (which i grew to love) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
