[fake empire]

they're gonna blow up

[Praetor]

Not a big fan.

[fake empire]

loser

[Kid B]

Heard of them, but never heard. RIYL?

[fake empire]

noisy indie-pop, kinda shoegazey

some people call them a poppier My Bloody Valentine

[Kid B]

Alright, I'll check them out today/tonight and get back to you on it. Love MBV so I'll probably at least enjoy this.

[White Noise]

Yes, love the new release.

[joss d.]

fuck yeah just bumped the general forum thread about this band. new album is so damn good

[Rawrr]

Did Fake Empire just discover Ill-Informed or something?

[ThisIsNotDan]

loser

have you ever posted here on another name?

[fake empire]

Did Fake Empire just discover Ill-Informed or something?

Idk what that is

have you ever posted here on another name?

Yes

[ThisIsNotDan]

Idk what that is



Yes

CatDiesel?

[underthetalking]

This release is great. I've been waiting for it for a while. Solid solid band.

[fake empire]

CatDiesel?

yes among others

how'd you know

[hockeyguitar99]

I've been meaning to check this band out.

[x togepi x]

this band sounds like every other indie/shoegaze band. meh. would be cool if someone in that genre blew up though.

[ThisIsNotDan]

yes among others

how'd you know

you love indie music and come off as an arrogant prick. lucky guess you could say, but you enjoy The National and Fleet Foxes so ya can't be all bad

[fake empire]

:-d

[IWasaCamera]

Not a fan.

[Bunnies]

I love this band. Pitchfork gave the album 8.3 i think.

[Someone'sCoat]

New EP is superb. Long overdue bump.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I NEED to buy the album or new EP. fuck, band rules

[x togepi x]

i like this band but seriously, they are the most derivative band possible. If my new band ripped off the smiths and noise pop bands we might be able to reach their copy cat level. it's an art in itself.


oh wait. we do rip off noise pop bands.


fuck.

[Someone'sCoat]

hahaha

[ilikesound93]

I had to listen to them when I saw they had a song called Kurt Cobain's Cardigan. If you're gonna title one of your songs that, it fucking better be good. Thankfully it was. Awesome band.

[batmannj]

Definitely enjoy the band, I haven't had a chance to hear the EP yet, I need to get on that.

[x togepi x]

ep is okay. pisses me off that they basically released it three times. but maybe VC is lying to me.

[lightcollapse]

I love this band.

[xJesusFreakx]

They're enjoyable.

[blebbio]

I like this band.

[x togepi x]

this band pisses me off so much. they have such great songs on the LP side by side with such forgettable ones.

[Praetor]

Not a big fan.
Statement rescinded. Awesome band.

[IWasaCamera]

Seems as though they have it in them to be less boring than they currently are. Here's hoping.

[x togepi x]

too bad they're awful live.

they need like another guitar player or something.

[lightcollapse]

Who thinks that "This Love Is Fucking Right" is based on to The Field Mice - This Love Is Not Wrong?

[duffe]

new single rules http://pitchfork.com/news/40593-listen-new-pains-of-being-pure-at-heart-single/

[Colorblind!]

Is the new single going to be on the forthcoming LP? If so, I'm going to wait so it's all new to me. Have such high expectations for that record. I think the self titled, while it's already been pointed out for having some mediocre tracks, was SO promising.

[duffe]

it looks like that this song will be on the new album.

[blebbio]

ehh... don't like that new track as much as anything on the first album.

[Tautou107]

just bought tickets to see them in may

how do people feel about belong? i was kind of let down and i don't think any of the songs stick out from one another, like they did on the first album

[spleen]

Listening to Belong right now. I like it, but it's not something I would listen to over and over.

[chipdip18]

How was the new album?
