I've only listened to it once all the way through, but I really enjoy it. I'll give it another spin later and give a better review.

Check it out MB

Noted.

I've only heard "Put Your Number In My Phone" and liked it enough. Will have to give the rest a listen.

It gets weird in a few places, but good weirdness

There's a few throwaway songs too, but it's got some good stuff on it

I liked "Dinosaur Carebears" and "Black Ballerina" a lot

Sounds like a standard Ariel Pink record.

Yea I think I like it better than the two Haunted Graffiti albums, although I never did listen to Mature Themes more than like once or twice

It's a lot weirder

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard of the guy before. He has a bit of an eighties vibe.

Almost finished with the first listen.

I like.

Lipstick, Black Ballerina, Picture Me Gone (Dan on the whistle?)

Lipstick
Yea that's a good one

I really like the next song Not Enough Violence too. Reminds me of Sisters of Mercy. Actually the synth line at 1:30ish and the deep voice is like STRAIGHT out of a SOM song.

I'm actually listening right now too, it's climbing up my favorite albums of the year list

Lipstick is a great song. I really enjoyed that one
Four Shadows is creepy, fun, and out there. I dig it
One Summer Night has a beach boys on 80's goth acid vibe.

So far so good. But damn that video for "Picture me Gone" is fricking bizarre

So no love for my favorite song on the album, Dinosaur Carebears?

that's a fricking acid trip of a song right there

While we are on the subject of strange indie bands, any of you dudes like Dirty Beaches? That's some interesting stuff

when it comes back to an almost like dub beat after the weird carebear/circus/DMT trip part

The rest of the song is just ok, but the first few minutes are fricking awesome
