ehhh I skipped downloading it figuring it was gonna be watered down big label garbage

Maybe I'll give it a shot

The Kevin Parker tracks and the two Stevie Wonder harmonica joints are worth the download IMO......I like the vibe.....a funky James Brown-esque vibe in some tracks, and smooth in others. Miike Snow fans might love it since Andrew Wyatt is all over this.

This Father John Misty :bow:

That sort of odd folk but not corny folk southern type of shyt is right in my wheelhouse :bow:

shyt is soulful, and just the right amount.

I listened to Mark Ronson. The real stand out track is "Daffodils." The rest is sort of throwaway.

Not gonna lie, I was going into the Father John Misty with bias against it since I didn't like the single much.

But some of these songs are :whew: undeniable

Really good album.

Happy New Year brehs.........As far as the early part of 2015 goes, I'm looking forward to Ponds new album at months end (Man, It Feels Like Space Again drops on 1/27)

I been listening to a lot of their earlier stuff, Tame Impala, & Melody's Echo Chamber lately.....

I haven't been keeping up, but what else is on tap worth checking for in the 1st quarter?

I saw Pond live back in October, they absolutely killed live

Looking forward to their album dropping on 1/27

Heres a couple tracks theyve dropped:






One of my all time favorites (the buildup :wow:) :

Kevin Parker is going to have a huge year - Tame Impala is already stacking festivals all over the US for this summer

Im wondering when hes dropping the album .. I would imagine its what the show will be this summer on tour

His track on Ronson's album is the standout track, Daffodils



He was performing this song live at least a year ago without Ronson ... so Im confused as to why he is letting Ronson release it on his album

Maybe it didnt make the cut for the new Tame alblum coming up - its undoubtedly going to the be #1 album of 2015

Apparently Kevin Parker and Mark Ronson have worked on music together on and off the last few years....I read it someplace and it seems to be the only thing that makes sense.....and I am looking forward to all the projects Parker is involved in, just hoping he doesn't wear himself too thin.

Makes some sense, here's Kevin performing Daffodils at a bar in Perth just over a year ago



Im guessing the Tame album is gonna be amazing. Hard to imagine anything topping Lonerism, but Im hopeful.

From what I heard from Pond live, the new album is gonna be great as well. I got to hang with the band after the show for a bit, was good times.

It was the best live show I have seen in years.

yeah just found out about it but the quality is pretty bad and it's probably not the final version in terms of mixing and such

i've read some people's reactions and it's supposed to be strange, slow and very depressing

i'll probably wait until there's a better quality version though

somebody fukked up majorly, that's for sure

I don't know about that bad quality.....I didn't hear it. But I was listening at the gym, not an environment for experiencing high audio quality. I will check it out again later tonight in a better environment with better earphones

First impression is that it is a great album.....started off oddly traditional in terms of the music and orchestration....I didn't hear much Arca/Haxan Cloak at all through the first 3 tracks and was a bit bummed by that. But then it hit track 4 Black Lake which is :whoo:, and then track 5 Family which sounds like it was ripped straight out of Haxan Cloak's "Excavation" :whoo:, then rest of the album started to blossom with the unique signatures of the producers

This isn't an album that can really be judged off of one listen at the gym, I can't even give it a first listen rating because that wouldn't be fair. But I already want to listen again, which is a great sign.
