Carissa's Wierd (Official Thread)

[SickOfStars]

Band's basically the prettiest form that trembling and crying and shitting in a corner is ever going to take.


For those of you unfamiliar that are repulsed or puzzled by that confusion:

Carissa's Wierd was a band that made very pretty indie music with more or less the saddest lyrics in history. Reccommended if you like the whole 90's "indie emo" thing and/or violins... or crying and shitting in a corner.

Oh, also, some of the people in this band made Band of Horses after.

[Praetor]

Band makes me want to cry and shit in the corner.

[Jumpoff]

So much better than Band of Horses.

Love Songs about Leaving lately, but haven't listened to the other two full lengths yet.

[joss d.]

you should be at home here is my fav. good band.

[Cuddleworthy]

Stunningly beautiful music.

[ivebeendegaused]

"songs about leaving" is the perfect record for rainy afternoons spent staring out the window.
funny song titles too.

[myplanforescape]

Downloaded Songs About Leaving the other day after seeing this thread, listened to it a few times since then, really enjoy it.

[PenThrive]

So much better than Band of Horses.

Really? I've been meaning to check out CW, but I'd be blown away if CW beats BoH (being as though BoH are one of my fav. bands)

Is that a relevant comparison? (I've not listened to BoH, so I actually don't know.)

[I am Mick]

Songs About Leaving is awesome.

[GuitarR0cker1]

This band sounds like it would be right up my alley.

They're completely different bands so it's pretty hard to compare them

[PenThrive]

They're completely different bands so it's pretty hard to compare them

Yeah, after listening to CW, the only conclusion is that both are totally exclusive sounds.

[Rawrr]

Bump because I'm listening to Songs About Leaing

[shit stroll]

i don't care for the one album i've heard.

[Star Slight]

Just started getting into them, I really like this CD. As I was looking for the album artwork I came across this though, apparently its not everyone's cup of tea:

A D- though?

[boomerangslang]

He didn't say much about the album other than how much he hated their voices. Whatever. Still love this band. Always preferred S though.

[Cuddleworthy]

"With comical titles like "So You Want to be a Superhero" and "Sofisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave me Alone," you might think that the songs would be cool and fun."


pretty sure the guy writing that review is retarded

[IWasaCamera]

Ha, student publications.

[IntoTheSun]

This band sounds like it would be right up my alley.

I was about to type this exactly haha.

[ohmessylife]

This band is soul crushing a times, but in some perverse way I just love it.

[SincerelyMe]

Bump because I'm listening to Songs about Leaving. This album hits so hard.

[myplanforescape]

Great band, Songs About Leaving is so depressing but definitely cathartic. The girl who did vocals for CW released an album this year under the name S called I'm Not as Good at it as You, it's decent but not great.

[ohmessylife]

Yeah, wasn't all that impressed by the S album: meh, it was ok.

[Cuddleworthy]

S is whatever, band of horses suck, carissa's wierd are immortal

[ohmessylife]

Pretty much.

[cshadows2887]

So latest of latepasses, but Songs About Leaving is gorgeous, devastating, and various other hyperbolic adjectives.

[CalRahhh]

Adore everything they've ever done. Can't even pick a favourite. S is fantastic too, especially enjoy Puking and Crying.

[cshadows2887]

Listening to I Before E. God they're good.

[cshadows2887]

The two new songs are lovely.

[cshadows2887]

Triple post, but this song is wrecking me right now:

[SincerelyMe]

New songs? How did I not know about this? Wow.

[cshadows2887]

Listening to You Should Be at Home Here. These guys really never missed, did they?
