Fingerbobs Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm just amazed he manages to carry on and sing the rest of the album afterwards. It wrecks my voice just listening to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wrecks my voice just listening to it. He doesn't do it live every time you press play y'know. I have no such worries. I've perfected my #HamVoice singing The Rat incessantly for years. Definitely my song of the year. The album does suffer from starting off too well tho. Not to say there's only one really great track - Sick as a Dog is fantastic too, but that's the second song!

SwedgeAntilles Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 In A Black Out is one of my favourites, great track too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well whoever it is he gets to stand in for him when he's not at my command sounds really good to my ears so I'm not too disappointed I suppose.

It's remarkably consisten end to end though. Never heard much of the Walkmen. Are they as good as this? Anyone recommend a stating point for me?

You & Me and Libson are also very very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crank Juveniles (from the LP Lisbon) up nice and loud and dance around to some very, very good American Indie. I was sad when they split. Hamilton is a truly superb front man - really old school, in his suits, working the crowd. Class. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You & Me and Libson are also very very good Bows + Arrows is very good and the best place to start but I think the other two you mentioned are better albums. I think it's more highly regarded than the others because of The Rat which is the only part of The Walkmen's career that's drawn anything close to adequate appraisal. Can't think of a single more underrated band in recent years than those boys. Edited December 9, 2016 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majormajormajor Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ty Segall absolutely has to be booked. New album is absolute fucking quality. Has to be late afternoon or in the evening at the Park too, please not like midday on John Peel or elsewhere - that's just a shite time to see someone wig out. There's been a real dearth of quality rock'n'roll over the past couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wonderwhy Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Soooooo... First Aid Kit, Warpaint, The Cinematic Orchestra headlining? Sampha, Ride, Angel Olson, Lemon Twigs, Mark Lanegan, Moonlandingz, Girl Ray, Loyle Carner on the undercard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamitymaud Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 As good as the lineup is, I think this might be the first year where I spend very little time at The Park. Angel Olsen the only real must see there for me. Warpaint a maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wonderwhy Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Oh yeah I think the majority of the lineup is missing. Definitely some cool names on the poster who'd be great up there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum_96 Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Would love to see Loyle Carner up at the Park, think he suits that far better than John Peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
