The Soundcarriers - Entropicalia

[Ex Lion Tamer]

I like it. This band sounds like it could help fill that Stereolab and Broadcast-shaped void... Thanks, Dave!

CD, I hear that is the latest thing and that the music is embedded on the artefacts through a process of Witchcraft. Is it true that you can also serve canapés on them?

Both are true, however using them as serving platters isn't recommended unless they're of the newer "dishwasher safe" variety. (Don't ask how I know this )

I like it, I can't say I'm getting the Broadcast comparison though, which makes it ever so slightly disappointing.

It's the retro-futurist thing.

You know, after a second listen it's making more sense- I think what threw me off is I was expecting something more lo-fi and with more synth prominence.

Fucking hell man. Stop posting music I like and costing me money!

Stick that boring droney electro pixie stuff that doesn't interest me.

OK boss!

Great release but if you own The other world you will be a little disappointed.

I do and I'm not disappointed in the slightest, the records are obviously kissing cousins but Entropicalia is definitely more of a true LP.

YES!
Was just listening with Mrs. HP and were commenting how it takes us both back to our jr. designer days
Consequently, I've dusted off all my old Stereolab records for the trip, today.


Another great recommend, D!
Thank you.

D they're a bit more than kissing cousins, conjoined twins perhaps?
I have to admit today I opened the vinyl and listened to it at volume and I was more impressed.
And please don't get me wrong Entropicalia is an amazing album, I just think The Other World of is better.

On a different note but also down to you, have you listened to Apse? The band that ERAAS came from. I heard a couple of tracks today and was impressed enough to go looking for their releases.

I forgot to get back to you on this, you might want to look into Tim Gane's new thing Cavern Of Anti-Matter. There's two 12's and an album.

Sample 12' track. Neu, that's what I call musik!

Whole LP here.

Incidentally another great modern slice of Motorik is the Aspodells/Friendly FIres collab 12'. Velois tres motorik while the other side is chiming dream pop. It's tangy orange vinyl in a Julian House sleeve (unusually these days it has a proper inner sleeve) or digital.

Was in my local record store browsing the latest offerings, and this caught my eye. Little write up/card prompted me to buy it. At the counter, a fellow punter told me it was a really good album. When I said cool, she said it was her band, and low and behold she's the singer. She must've gotten a great buzz off seeing some random buying her album in a shop.

What a great coincidence. It is a really good record too.

Ha, either that or she hangs about in record shops hoping to spot future fans

Yeah, it is a good album. As soon as I heard the first track, I just wanted to be groovily moseying down a 1969 San Franciscan street.
