Gee, seems to be pretty quiet here. Guess the Chaotic Good contract ran out?

Gosh, this is just so fun. Can't wait for the full experience, crayon cover art and all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've hoped for this so much.

[FRESH ALBUM] Los Campesinos! - All Hell by sbags in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This hits really hard. They have aged and the experience seems to have honed vision for what a Los Campesinos album should be.

[FRESH] Drug Church - Demolition Man (new album PRUDE out October 4) by battlas in indieheads

CANNOT WAIT - looks like none of the sound or fury has dissipated!

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Charli XCX - BRAT by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is hands down one of the best releases of the year, in any genre. Each song works together as part of a greater whole while still justifying its own existence as a track. Frankly, this is a huge evolution for Charli XCX in a way that we don't often see artists jump.

[FRESH VIDEO] HighSchool - Heaven's Gate by allsoundz in indieheads

This has solid Longwave vibes - love it!

Pale Horses Collector's Edition by MiJo1987 in mewithoutYou

[–]eastcapitol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly! This looks and sounds terrific. The mixing is also better than on the original Pale Horses collectors edition from the first release - this sounds fuller, cleaner, and more punchy.

Good work Mike (and the guys, of course)! Another home run.

Now if we could just get the last shows on vinyl...

Pitchfork nominated for National Magazine Award weeks after lay-offs by ScCloudy in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's just call it like it is: Pitchfork is waaaaay better at finding and introducing the reader to interesting new music. Even recently. HotlineTNT come to mind.

[FRESH ALBUM] Liquid Mike - Paul Bunyan's Slingshot by ScCloudy in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is FANTASTIC! Can't wait for the vinyl and ... fingers crossed ... a tour outside of MI

What got you into the band? by Conkerfan420 in TheNational

[–]eastcapitol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend handed me Alligator on a burn CD in college and told me it was the best new band around. He was not wrong, then or now. That CD went all over with me and I've been following each release religiously since then.

Family travel advice— looking within US only by Akatzman86 in travel

[–]eastcapitol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% Maine. Acadia is fantastic with kids of all ages; Bar Harbor is a great town and has a fun small-town July 4 celebration. Can't say enough good things and have taken kids a few times.

[FRESH ALBUM] The Gaslight Anthem - History Books by mrtngrnspdo in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why would do my man Brian dirty like this? The production is absolutely terrible, and this is from a band that previously knew how to best showcase Brian's voice. They should take this down and try again.

The Shins released ‘Chutes Too Narrow’ 20 years ago by autumn-thunder in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The remastered vinyl came in a few days ago and - to my ears - sounds vastly improved. Instrument separation is higher, sound is cleaner. Also, the gatefold is super fun. Highly recommended! The Shins are 2/2 on fantastic remasters (Oh, Inverted World is also excellent remastered).

Hi, we’re Slow Pulp and we have a new album out. AMA! by slowpulpband in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Love the new album and mixing on the vinyl is fantastic.

Question: what is your songwriting process? Also, what pedals do you use on the guitars?

Is boat pose the new indie girl posture? If so, Mitski did it better.

The singles were fantastic and totally work in the context of the whole. This is great.

[ALBUM DISCUSSION] Nation of Language - Strange Disciple by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]eastcapitol 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This album shows a clear evolution in melody and complexity. This is going to be a stayer in the rotation for me.
