Post by: Kai on 11 Mar 2006, 18:36: I like to make fairly vague topics too.
Title: Why?
Post by: Rubby on 11 Mar 2006, 18:39: I cant tell if that's genuine or if you're taking a stab at me. Either way, what I meant was that said album is really good and some other people that think so should talk about it.

Post by: Inlander on 11 Mar 2006, 18:55: What the hell is the Elephant Eyelash? And how does one do it?
Title: Why?
Post by: Kai on 11 Mar 2006, 19:02: That's pretty much what I was asking. What the hell is this thread about? You generally have to add a little more information. There are those of us who don't stay on top of the latest obscure indie releases.

Post by: El Opium on 11 Mar 2006, 19:52: Why not?

There is some manner of indie hip-hop group I know nothing about named Why?, but personally I prefer bands who scream why!? over their music for philosophical and aesthetic reasons. Naming a band why? spoils the idea and I initially thought you were talking about makeup.

why? - elephant eyelash
abr0055 CD/LP (2005)
Press

What you’ve got here, dear listener, is something grand. Something bold. Something to trumpet proudly as the future of something that hasn’t yet happened. Something (gasp!) to be excited about. What you have here is Elephant Eyelash, the brand-new, brilliant album from WHY? at the very least you should be asking yourself, “why not?”

Elephant Eyelash is a beautifully realized work, a smile-twisted opus of bright colors, dark corners and fearless moves by head architect Yoni Wolf (cLOUDDEAD, Reaching Quiet, Hymies Basement). After six years of treating WHY? as a solo project, Yoni has fashioned WHY? into a full-fledged band. The Sanddollars EP, released in May, presented the group working through a short set of miniature oeuvres, but Elephant Eyelash dishes up the real deal: twelve gorgeously rendered tracks of jangly pysch-rock, folk-hop and peculiar pop.

Whether inhabiting the persona of a lovelorn crooner or warp-mouthed Dylanesque poet, self-deprecating, soft-singing shy guy or loud-mouthed macho type, Yoni wraps unforgettable lyrical imagery around grooves powered by an arsenal of instruments: guitars, turntable, piano, glockenspiel, pedal, pots, pans, and more.

Pavement, Neutral Milk Hotel, krautrock and dub are all channeled here, but the mix never gets too heady. Rather, it’s Yoni’s trademark delivery, half-smirk, half-grin, that reminds us that it’s life’s inconsistencies that make it so
damn addicting.

That paragraph, ESPECIALLY the line in bold, is completely masturbatory bullshit.

Post by: thedevilissix on 12 Mar 2006, 14:05: Well, I really rather like "Elephant Eyelash". It's probably their most beautifully crafted album IMO, "Rubber Traits" & "Crushed Bones" in particular show this off.

To ze haterz.....Go an' 'ave a listen on emusic, myspace......wherever....and quit yer blatherin'. You're really no better bashing this guy than the indie snobs you detest so much. Leave him alone.

I'm certain it's just a rush and a push away but is it really so strange for it to be still going? I mean I kinda like how the thread can oscillate wildly from someone ASKing about a band to people ignoring it to the guy I least expected making Smiths references (Khar), you've got everything now. Still maybe it's time to stop, this charming man wouldn't like to paint a vulgar picture of himself. I just want to be Asleep.
