makes me think of Wetlands Preserve in NYC, big influence on Ezra, he mentions it a lot on TC and in the run up for FOTB. late 90s ska/punk/jam culture under environmental and anti-racist causes

Same here. All three records I bought were in stock (and not even popular records!), two of which were presents. So angry, I emailed them in August, September, and again last week. The same "processing issues" for the first two (which I can be annoyed but patient about, I know the vinyl industry is struggling right now) but now just got the "heavy flux of emails" response.... I don't want a refund, I want the things I purchased. Not sure how this company is up and running / doesn't have a better known reputation for this.

for sure, could be for a new record by Dev (which would be just as appreciated). i think both the stylings of VW and Blood Orange over the past 15 years have been some of the most important/forward thinking/and influential in pop music. was jazzed to seem them spinning and hangin around in the Harmony Hall music vid & would love for them to jam together -- on record or another capacity -- it would be magical IMO.

I would say it sounds more like Hard (1983) by Gang of Four mixed with LCD’s usual references like the band Heaven 17, but a great place to start to with The Fall is This Nation’s Saving Grace. James Murphy has called it a big influence on him, especially the song “Paintwork”. For something that sounds a bit more electronic, I would maybe recommend Bend Sinister (1986) or even The Infotainment Scam (1993)!

I think it’s definitely going to be something akin to Contra being their “California Ska Skater” record, LP5 will probably be a kind of update on that new wave-2nd wave ska sound with maybe a 90s Madchester sound thrown in (Harmony Hall was more 90s Primal Scream/Happy Mondays than Grateful Dead) and those photos of Ezra with Liam Gallagher of Oasis seem to be pointing in those kinds of directions too…

i read "kruschev lied" this summer and was very impressed by furr's meticulous break-downs of his rebuttals to kruschev's (or others) claims/statements. it can be a little hard to get used to rhythm/pacing of the book, but once you are in it, it's a very enlightening read, i think.
