- I swore not to come back here. Still never figured out why they'd leave the neons on though.

It was deceptive for how bleak that school was. Its new facade was all the more pretentious and she'd snicker at its sight. The window panes were stretching the halls across its side. She could look inside surprisingly well from afar but it was that sinking feeling nothing had changed that pulled her closer.

She knew the inhospitable turned desolate in silence though never quite understood what it meant. Hostility freed the lobby and stood there placid, unobstrusive below the neon-turned-haven. The humid floors glistening in between shimmers. The pervading void beyond the light dust particles would drift in and out of. The buzzing she'd notice echoing up to the glass. A welcoming warmth crossed her. "All along" she'd think just now; she just never did before.

Yet she still couldn't reach inside so she settled for a lamplight beside in the court where she laid on the green.


This song surprised me halfway through at how effectively evocative it was, like some sort of repressed nostalgia, or that right kind of exhilarating melancholy. Mental stillness. Wanted to slowly cook up something real clean for it and turned out honest. Ah well.

I see Koner and all I'm thinking is I need a focused mind for it. Sleep it is.

Yeah I'm sure Noname has the CD. That's going to be interesting though. It always turned me off how artificial it all sounds, we'll see if that comes through.

Actually if I can recommend full records

Electro-Shock for President - Brainiac (14 minutes)
The Pod - Ween (76 minutes, but they're all pretty similar in atmosphere so you could take just a few songs out of it)
Goat - The Jesus Lizard (Good chance you've heard this one before, just shy of 31 minutes, and if you don't wanna do this whole record, you should do Lady Shoes without looking at the lyrics, then once you've fully completed your visualization, read the lyrics. Should be amusing)

I'm assuming you're talking about AAL as a whole. Artificial in what way? I just saw them live recently and they play their songs to the tee.

Also, Modern Meat is easily their calmest song, and is nothing like the rest of their first album.

@rayword: You got me interested with Brainiac and those two other records I've had on my list anyway. Ween still has this elusive status to me and Jesus Lizard is pretty genre defining.

@ymia: No you got me wrong, I mean the first album. Which I believe is the self-produced one with Mansoor from Periphery? It lacks nuance and even then it's dividing. Distortion and cymbals in "Thoroughly at Home" for example give enough texture to support its sharp counterparts and legatos. But then most of it sounds awfully tubular ("Tessitura" is exactly that). It's like their rigs cut out the resonance and the instrumentation becomes stale and rigid.
In contrary, there's an awesome sweep around the first minute mark of "Behaving Badly" where that sort of sound is put to good use. But then the background chords also come out super dry and it doesn't help it stand out. That section basically represents my beef with the album.

Will do more of this tonight. Really looking forward to the recs I see.

Degiheugi - L'Improvisation Au Ukulélé

Chessy motivational 90's theatrical ice skating between an histrionic male and female lead where they fake-smile continually and often turn faces to each other inches apart while rolling shoulders. An abundance of background dancers (who also acts as the choir) runs into place determinated and make arching motions with their arms during the chorus. A nondescript live band dubs the song on an elevated platform. The man, short of breath and facing public, genuinely cries at the culmination of the act.

Couldn't really think of what to post here so I'll just give the thing I'm listening to currently.

Okay I see what you mean. I just personally enjoy the sound. Honestly their most recent album blows the previous two out of the water, I have have personal preference to Tempting Time, Modern Meat, CAFO, and Song of Solomon.

I'm not very good when it comes to speaking technicalities with instrumentation and production, but I'm pretty sure I understand what you mean. I think their most recent album "The Joy of Motion" would be much better for you. Off of that album personal favorites are Ka$cade, Tooth And Claw, Mind-Spun, and Nephele.

Excited for the descriptions though. And here's the youtube link plus 1 more because I can:
