PELICAN: AUSTRALASIA appreciation thread

[xfer]

this is one of those albums that gets exponentially better as you louden that shit up.

 

[azal]

right here!

have you heard The Ocean? I think they are really killer too.

 

[xfer]

no! mp3s?

 

[azal]

umm...dial up.

 

[xfer]

oh...right, i forgot:

SERBIA

 

[azal]

haha....I'll bring the CD into work tomorrow...fast connection here.

I can't find anything on the web. But I know I have it, and that they are german, and really good. The same instrumental doominess approach but with more quirkiness. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but overall it's pretty cool.

 

[xfer]

does it have cred among indie nerds like pelican? i mean, if not, what's the point?!

 

[azal]

I think it would if they were on a bigger label.

 

[goatschool]

i can't grasp this, alex (and azal), and i feel similarly too khanate.

have either of you heard old nels cline trio?

 

[xfer]

no, nor "of"

 

[azal]

me neever.

 

[Nut Butter]

Haven't heard it yet, only their s/t EP. Which is good if not orgasmic, and which is still growing on my by the day.

 

[xfer]

i haven't heard their s/t and i really want to. trade?

 

[Nut Butter]

Sure, though it might prove complicated since I have it on vinyl. I'm getting my new AMD 64-based PC (yes, I'm being a wanker) this week-end and I'm gonna start recording my vinyl to MP3 asap. If you still haven't heard it in a coupla weeks we'll get in touch.

[azal]

Isn't it awesome how I'm the only one who has heard The Ocean and I live in a third world country.

the ocean... I'm not really into them, not as much as I'm into Pelican for sure.

pelican = top

 

[avi]

Yeah, if you dudes like Pelican, you'll probably dig Switchblade a lot. 5ive as well.

 

[xfer]

5ive is awesome.

Although it was embarassing telling people I went to go see 5ive open for Isis over the weekend that one time, and having to keep adding, "No, not 5ive the boy band. No, not Isyss the teen pop star."

 

[Nut Butter]

There's a teen pop-star names Isyss?!?
