...for all those fey-pop fans, i have heard some of the new album.

from what i have heard, more pop and less stream of consciousness mumbling by colin.

in the vein of "billy liar" or "LA i'm yours."

Lambtron · Dec 21, 2004

I was hoping it was more "The Tain," I'll greedily consume anything Colin puts out.

mattiewheels · Dec 21, 2004

The Tain seemed like a detour from what they usually do. I'm trying to find this, but no luck...

White Man · Dec 21, 2004

I need this. Colin Meloy is playing the day before my birthday here, tee hee.

mattiewheels · Dec 21, 2004

smirkrevenge, what songs were you able to find? I can't get shit with any of my p2p's.

smirkrevenge · Dec 21, 2004

sixteen military wives, eli the barrowbow, this sporting life.

i don't think the entire thing has surfaced yet.

White Man · Dec 21, 2004

They played The Sporting Life when I saw them a couple months back. It is super hot.

enjoy bell woods · Dec 21, 2004

Have any of you heard Tarkio!? I got their entire album recently.

enjoy bell woods · Dec 28, 2004

Man, someone just sent me this album today. Needless to say, it's really good.

The Mariner's Revenge Song = EPIC SEA SONG = LOVE

smirkrevenge · Dec 29, 2004

haven't had time to listen to the whole album in one sitting yet...but i remember shuddering at the track "espionage."

eek...all the indie kids will keel over on this one.

enjoy bell woods · Dec 29, 2004

Well I like it!

I'll keel over all over you!

Outdoor Miner · Dec 29, 2004

I'm pretty much done d/l'ing stuff or getting advances, so I'll have to wait for release.

If you guys can, catch them live, they're amazing.

Lambtron · Dec 29, 2004

COLIN MELOY LET ME TOUCH YOU.

I wish I were. I won't do it for SFA, though.

I've ruined too many things already.

distantmantra · Jan 6, 2005

I heard a few new songs over the summer when I saw the band down in Portland at an AIDS Benefit show, good stuff.

I've yet to hear the studio material however... hint hint....

Manabanana · Jan 6, 2005

Just got this last night. Really cool. This is the first of the band I've heard, though. Grabbed portions of various albums, and really liked when I heard. Plus, the lead singer has my name.

White Man · Jan 6, 2005

Not as good as their previous stuff. I was let down. It's still good; I just thought they were building up to some big, career-defining album after the ambition found in The Tain.

bobble · Jan 6, 2005

I've had Her Majesty and the Tain downloaded forever but never listened to them more than twice. Picaresque is the first time I've actually given them a fair listen, and what a great album. Gives me a total Neutral Milk Hotel vibe, which is definatly a good thing.

Check out the songs "Red Right Ankle" and "Leslie Anne Levine" (check spelling on "anne/ann"

Lambtron · Jan 6, 2005

It's "Leslie Anne Levine."

I think that all three of their full lengths are pretty much equal, I was one of my only friend who wasn't let down. I was sad it wasn't picking up where The Tain (by far my favorite thing they've done) left off, but there's some awesome tracks on here. "The Sporting Life," "The Mariner's Revenge Song," and "Sixteen Military Wives" are among their best songs.

If you're looking for random songs, I'd also HIGHLY recommend "A Cautionary Song." I love the shit out of it.

rareside · Jan 6, 2005

I'm checking out the new shit. Liking it so far, but I'm drunk and will like anything.

On another note, does no one love The Bachelor and the Bride!? -- That's the song that got me hooked on tha band in the first place.

Outdoor Miner · Jan 11, 2005

Got it.

"The Mariner's Revenge Song" is already my song of 2005. SO FUCKING GOOD.

Don't know what to think of the rest of the album, have to listen some more.

TheQueen'sOwn · Jan 11, 2005

GREAT STUFF!!

=W= · Jan 11, 2005

:O

Where?! Can't find! PM!

Quadrophenic · Jan 11, 2005

Is this the finished mix? I want to resist till March....damn, why is March so far away?

Outdoor Miner · Jan 13, 2005

I've listened it through a few times now.

I'm inclined to believe this is their best one yet. Well see how it holds up after 3 months, but I think it's better than their previous 2 efforts as of right now.

Incredible.

smirkrevenge · Jan 13, 2005
