georgia anne muldrow’s umsindo is EXCELLENT so far. “roses” is on right now and it really jumped out, but i know there are some other incredible tracks here. everyone should get it.

Just wanted to weigh in on “… and the Ever-Expanding Universe.” It is definitely NOT Population. People saw Population as overstuffed, but I found it a heady mix of vocals, percussion, and dynamic mood and speed shifts, as if indie rock had fallen through a black hole and been compressed into four-minute songs that were once twice that long.

“Universe” seems like that band listened to a lot of Stars. Stars is certainly a decent band, but it’s kind of not what I expected from TMSR, since it’s a surprisingly relaxed album. There’s something to like about the album haveing space to breathe, but I was kind of hoping to hear another auditory assault, and instead I got a lazy Sunday afternoon.

pure spaced-out lugubrious jams
there are some essential jams on here
totally my jam
definitely not my jam
but some of the jams here — especially “Tell Me” — sound totally solid

“Jam” is not my “jam.” Makes you sound like a patchouli-stinkin’ hippie, which is not a good thing.

You use the word “jam” way too often.

Ok, this is tooooo ironic not to be mentioned.
someone please tell me that I shouldn’t be shing my head that track one on this album is requiring a full album download

Oooh, I like The Fresh & Onlys. Looks like they’re touring with Thee Oh Sees. That’d be a great show to see.

I can’t possibly say enough about Laurel Aitken.

This is an amazing new find. I happily gave up my credits for 3 of his albums.

I agree about the Laurel Aitken, just can’t spend half of my credits on one album no matter how good….
