solace Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 exactly the same thing that happened to me. Wasn't feeling it at first, but I love it now. it's SOOOOO freakin' great. i loved their debut and was a tad bit let down by Devotion, but this one eclipses both.guessing it gets a 9.2 or so and Best New Music on Pfork either tomorrow or Tue, and rightfully so (esp. considering they gave Contra an 8.6 ) that said, the new Besnard Lakes is up there with Teen Dream for me... but it's not quite as pleasurable of a listen, mostly more adventurous/epic. they sounded real nice on Fallon... i really hope they bring that drummer along on tour, as i think this new one is a bit too full for just the 2 of them like usual.

jff Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I didn't bother with the Sting solo album that is side two of this album. This would be a lot better if it weren't for the Mickey Mouse vocals. Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I have been singing the praises of this guy for several years. This is alternately the creepiest and most poignant cd of breakup songs. If it is autobiographical, he went through a REALLY bad breakup. Songs about anguished rememberance, stalking and a failure to move on all set to glorious pop melodies.I am kind of surprised Sir Stew hasn't ever mentioned this guy (Bleu is a Bostonian) Link to post Share on other sites

I really should get around to listening to some of his stuff. Is this record a good place to start or are there other records that would be better? Thanks for reminding me, by the way.

His newer one (Watched Pot) is pretty damn good also. Link to post Share on other sites

He's done great work in Parks And Recreation, so I figured I'd give it a listen, and it's pretty good. I'm surprised by the space the album creates.I can't escape the allure of Heaven Can Wait.
