So I found out about this band and album about a week ago and I absolutely love it. Went to check if they were performing somewhere in the area, and they are! In Amsterdam! And it's fucking sold out.

I usually don't care too much about missing out on a gig, but man this is some really good shit. They have another gig planned in Amsterdam in March but I'll be in San Francisco at the time.

:-(

Add them on twitter, they are very good at retweeting fans selling tickets for face value. That's how I got my mate extra tickets to a gig the last time they played here.

Also, seeing them tomorrow and Friday. Yas!

 

[LiQuid!]

Gutted.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Seen them last night in Glasgow, so good!

Even some of the songs I wasn't too fond of on the album were actually quite good live. I actually like them more live than on the album, can't say that very often xD

 

[Slowdive]

Just got back from their gig in Manchester, they were amazing!

Ditto, great show. I couldn't hear a word she said in between tracks though.

 

[Slowdive]

The music video for Lies is out.

The music video for Lies is out.

This is my jam rn

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I really like Mothers, Gun and Recover but I can't seem to get into the other tracks on this album.

still really enjoy this band though.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Love this band. Thanks to (Iam)Mikeside and jimbor for putting me onto them!

 

[Milchjon]

The music video for Lies is out.

Definitely the best song off the album

I've started to love Strong Hand more recently.

 

[chris121580]

Great video. This album will be in my top 3. Can't get enough of it

 

[toadsworth]

Very upset that the show in Atlanta is sold out, its the only one i could possibly make

 

[rakhir]

I love this band, but it's damn hard to watch their videos - that guy always wears that fucking terrible cap on his head. I loathed every person i've met that had anything resembling that thing on them.

 

[dcdobson]

Best song on the album, as has already been said.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

You Caught the Light is my hangover song of choice ATM.

 

[maruchan]

I think lungs is a much better song than lies..

 

[killertofu]

holy crap the lead singer i'm melting

 

[sqwarlock]

I can't even count how many times I've listened this album, and I picked up the vinyl last week.

So bummed that they're not coming to Phoenix anytime soon though.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

dat smile at the end

*melts*

 

[sca2511]

Ordered the vinyl. Excited, though I have nothing to play it on.

 

[Milchjon]

Full recent concert.

She talks in German. I should ask her to marry me. It can only end well.

[omgkitty]

So I really want to go see them play just so I can see her in person. Is that wrong? :\

I mean I really like their music too, just never been big on concerts.

 

[DagsJT]

Giving this a listen now and currently on track 4. First song was brilliant but the last few just haven't been anywhere near as good personally.

Gun (song 3) is good

 

[omgkitty]

Yep. Favorite song on the album.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

The Mother We Share, Gun, Lies, Tether, Night Sky, Science / Visions, We Sink, and Recover are the best.

Why don't you just name the other 4 songs you missed on the album

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Because they're not that good.

I took a while to warm up to the second half of the album. Love Strong Hand now.

Tether/Lies are the best.

 

[elseanio]

Gun is my favourite. The only song I usually skip is Under the Tide

 

[Tashi]

Stronghand is my favorite.

 

[omgkitty]

Stronghand is my favorite.

 

[paradox121]

Adore this album. I've yet to find a person who doesn't instantly fall in love with them after hearing The Mother We Share.

Tether is far and away my favourite though. Almost like a mini musical journey, so beautifully done.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

The change in Tether halfway through gives me goosebumps every time.

 

[killertofu]

They kind of sound like the Naked and Famous

 

[vulva]

I saw them live a month or so back. It was really great, the singer was ripping on Metallica and the Some Kind Of Monster movie, it really hit home for me. Overall pretty cool show, great stage energy.

Hmm, wasn't like that for me. Lauren seemed kinda out of it, we didn't even get an encore. She complained about her voice though, she had a big cup of tea on stage.

Under the Tide was the best performance of the night, that song live compared to album version... night and day.

don't tell anyone, otherwise the fanboys will come in screaming

 

[Helmholtz]

Listened to the album. Pretty good, catchy pop music, reminds me of M83 and Purity Ring a bit. And their lead singer is a cutie.

 

[joelseph]

Kelela's Cut 4 Me is a better album.

 

[Kevtones]

Can't wait to meet and marry the singer.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Really enjoying this album

It's very good.

 

[omgkitty]

Can't wait to meet and marry the singer.

Get in line!

Seriously though, the more I think about it, the more I realize how creepy it is to idolize famous women on the internet. Imagine if you actually met her and she turned out to be really great and you actually had a shot at dating her or something. Wouldn't it feel super awkward knowing the fact that you actually talked about it on the internet? Totally not saying it's wrong as I do it all the time, just feels like it would super weird if some famous girl you fantasized about turned out to be a real situation you found yourself in.

 

[Revolver]

I really like this album but could have done without the guy's two songs. I usually just skip them. Wish they would have put Now Is Not The Time on it instead and just cut out his songs.

I feel just the opposite. I really enjoy his songs and think they break things up nicely.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Been listening to this album quite a lot. I like it quite a lot, and Lauren has become my indie waifu.

But I can only give it a 6/10 in terms of quality, purely because of how I only can really get into, at the most, 7 or 8 of the tracks. Tether and By The Throat don't do much for me, and Under The Tide and You Caught The Light are just so unappealing.

Also, I hate how compressed the album sounds. There's basically little difference between listening to it in my car stereo and on my mono phone speaker.

 

[tanooki141]

Chvrches is the shit.

Seriously this album is too awesome.

 

[Dead]

same. Dude's songs are great.
