Fantastic blog post, I’ve saved this site so ideally I’ll discover a lot more on this subject in the foreseeable future!

Along those lines…if the Capt is listening…a double bill w/ Sholi and Akron would be good for any of their shows coming up in the future.

Re mel on Sholi. Whoa, not too many people had a chance to hear that one. You’re right, it’s remarkably cool. The drumming is very Deerhoof-like, but overall reminds me more of a less abrasive Dirty Projectors. Or Sweep the Leg Johnny without all that shitty free-jazz horns.

Damn dude, XX described as deliberate is dead on. For me, though, its not so much like having sex with a stranger as it is holding hands with a mental demon I once found waiting for me in Disintegration.
And I can TOTALLY see Warpaint touring/opening for these guys.

BTW, as much as I cherish the flaming lips…I’ve heard just way too much shit about Embryonic…I figured it was only a matter of time before I caved in a gave it a chance. Apparently you like it…

That’s cool…I just got done w/ another Craigslist fattie, so I’m definitely down w/ having sex w/ strangers. No condoms!

You should have a feature on “shortest review possible” and make it all haikus:

A lake in winter, high in the mountains
Vast space, and much restraint
I hear a drum machine and synth

Amen to that review of XX. I tried to tell my sister the same thing. So simple but so great. KISS theory in full effect.

No. The only records on that list I reviewed is Papercuts and Sholi. But here’s what I’d say:

There’s a minimalist quality to XX that many people will find too simple to be great. To the contrary, the added space shows remarkable restraint for a bunch of youngsters. It reminds me a lot of Young Marble Giants, but with slinky r’n b basslines and sorta emotionless vocals, almost a stripped-down Interpol. It’s deliberate, dirty, unsettling and exciting. Like having sex with a stranger. 9/10
