Since the last thread was on old-ILX, here’s a new one. Any new thoughts on the album? I was a bit nonplussed to begin with, expecting something a lot more New Order after “I Wish You Were Gone,” but I’ve come around to liking it, “Lonely Hearts” and “Peter Pan Over the Bronx” especially.

The electronic-dude-does-live-band-post-punk thing makes me immediately associate it with Two Lone Swordsmen’s last album, which is a pretty lazy critical angle, especially since it’s nowhere near as monotone- with a broader palette of influences instead of the heavy-handed psychobilly affectations of From the Double Gone Chapel.

lonely hearts is fantastic

i said this on the old thread, but this album makes me think of squarepusher for some reason
