Title: These New Puritans
Post by: mymms on 25 Jun 2008, 21:03

Anyone else like them? I got their album a few weeks ago and I have no words. I wouldn't call it unlike anything I've ever heard; in fact it's lot like a lot of other things I've heard, but it's just so effing cool.

Never heard anything by them.  Care to share the tunes?  We have a thread for that kind of thing, if you didn't find it already.

at first i thought this thread was going to be about the fall

Every thread is theoretically about the Fall. The Fall have released so many records by this point that you could probably relate something about one of them to just about any situation.

And if that fails, you can always double-deride it to talking about how ugly Mark E. Smith is

and this is a good picture.

They remind me a bit of "....Monument..." era Liars, which is a very good thing. I've only listened to a few tracks, but what I've heard I've totally dug.

Apparently they're assholes in person, and the girl in the band will only communicate via post-it notes, but who doesn't these days?

My God, MES looks like a horse.

I thought he was quite a looker in The Fall's early days.

It was a really assholish interview that put me off listening to them sooner... but seeing as so few good bands come to NZ anyway, I'll probably be able to stick to just the music and avoid experiencing their assholery ^_^

Certainly can upload a few tracks too.
