Never heard it. What’s it like?

very syrupy, slow breathy vox, tambourine every 25 seconds or so—im into it, basically agree with grady

It really is a horrible name.

it doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue

i like it on shuffle, one song every couple of days. it’s pretty enchanting that way. any more than that, no...

I like it a bunch

sort of repetitive, yeah, but it really opened up for me when I started homing in on the rhythm section, there is a ton of stuff going on in there, especially the drumming, phase fx on the cymbals etc etc ...

I like it a lot. Easy to space out to but rewarding to listen closely to as well.

jazz flutes too!

i only kind of liked this album and then i listened to it over dinner on my back porch one cool evening under the glow of tiki torches and i fell in love with it. if you dont have access to tiki torches i’m sure some weed would do the trick too.

i guess this stuff is kind of like the shoegaze side of the freak-folk coin. it looks like they toured with espers and barnhat. i wonder how well they reproduce the sound live?

everyone likes this record, except for me (it’s alright, but it’s not as good as the espers record for similar stuff). I liked him when I saw him play about four years ago as rainywood though, even though his stuff was completely faux oldham at the time.

This is a great album that was made even greater when Shineywater had a total ROCK STAR BAD SOUND FREAKOUT at the Troubadour in August. Slow, dreamy, cough-syrup folk-funk. Guaranteed to ruin any party.

Extremely OTM.

max- how was the show otherwise? were you there?

I had a great time; it wasn’t particularly revelatory or anything, but they’re all quite excellent musicians and it’s the kind of music that tends to work well live. But it was at the Troubador and the sound is always crappy and d00d threw a major-league tantrum, throwing shit, ran up to the sound booth, tried to break it, etc., while Rachel Hughes (who’s quite good on her keyboard) and the rest of the band just grooved. It was awesome and kind of surreal to listen to such doped-up music soundtracking a guy beating the shit out of the sound booth door.

Stage props: logs, feathers attached to microphone.

hippie dude needs to take chill-pill shocka!

Also: the tour was called “the crystal totem turr” and everyone was supposed to bring crystals.

No. of Crystals I saw at the Troubadour: 0.

I can definitely find plenty of people that dig this record.... Such as the new Australian guy working at Alt Coffee. I’m not that into it though.

I’m totally into these guys. Anyone remember Acetone? Sound just like them to me.

it’s alright. i’m 50–50 with it, sometimes the forcedness of it grates on my nerves. friend of mine said it reminded him of spiritualized, another band whose up-their-own-assness put me off.

I feel the same way about it. Almost sounds like they’re trying sooo hard to be laid back. But I really like the organ sound and the vocals and if I listen to 4 songs I’m happy.

Jaxon- where’s a good place to start with Acetone?

i love this record. guy i know from school played drums on the record, dunno if he’s in the live band.

magic andy? no he’s not in the live band, unfortunately.

yeah guess he’s no longer in white magic

he hasn’t been in white magic in almost two years, dude. he is the new drummer in endless boogie, tho.
