bobbob1313 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but this isn't a band that really lends itself to easy searching within the parameters of the board, so: Has anyone heard the new album yet? Thoughts? I quite enjoy it. It's not a major departure at all, but there is more depth musically this time around. I suppose it is best described as the first record's older brother.

explodo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It seems like, as Kyle said in the NP thread, it's going to be more of a spring time record. I'm just not ready yet for jangly pop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I suppose it is best described as the first record's older brother. I like that description! I'm loving it, like you said not a huge departure, but that's not a bad thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Is it officially out, or is it leaked? If it's the latter...be a friend? Either way I liked the first record and will be looking out for this when I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

explodo Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 that and I can't tell you the last time i listened to the first one... prolly '07 or soYeah, exactly. And another album that sounds virtually identical? It might be too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 My love for jangly pop has no seasons, so I need to check this band out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mystik Spiral Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Interesting... I knew there was some label drama with the new one, and I'm glad that Jof & Pete seem to have weathered the storm. It's funny that they get such a rep for making cutey-kid-playtime kinda music. The tunes are upbeat, sure, but the lyrics are pretty deep. That's my draw to them actually. They're very oxymoronic. In a good way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
