I LOVE 'Strawberry Jam' and 'Here Comes the India'. 'Sung Tongs' is ok in places but overall not a bit fan.

Basically, what album should i go for next? Preferably the slighlty crazier, electronic side of things as opposed to the more acoustic based stuff.

spirit/danse for the more electronic

feelsies is the best though, need feels.


yeah, spirit/danse

but it's really too bad that you aren't completely in love with Sung Tongs. Because I know I am!


feels

innit.


get everything they've released

AMAZING band.


agreed

and see them live, they'll blow your head off


yeah

i only recognised two songs from the one time i've seen them but it was seriously stunning. i cried a bit.


they're one of the few bands

where i don't think it matters at all if you know what they're playing. they were stunning at ATP and i didn't know any of it, and i have four of their albums..


they played Fireworks

off Strawberry Jam, you must have recognised that? they played half of the song then played another song in the middle of it and then finished it effortlessly. i fucking love them so much.


amazing

the start with fireworks, go into essplode (which is one of my favourite tracks) and then back into fireworks. hype machine it, it's immense.


i just hypem'd it

fucking amazing, even with shitty sound from my laptop. i want to see them again!


cure your illness.

i've got it on 12 inch. i would lend it to you but it's quite big.


here is one more feels post

just to persuade you


Feels

most accessible behind Strawberry Jam.


yeah, feels

also try:

water curses ep
people ep


feels


and another one

yep, feels is most like SJ. the other stuff is more out there.


You can get water curses for like

4 pounds, get it. Pretty necessary.


Get 'em all!

I filled my boots after being utterly blown away at their ATP show this year - the only thing that came near to the majesty of Battles. Everything I've bought is a winner.


feels

i like the new ep water curses too though get that too if possible.


feels

though strawberry jam is better


Water Curses

for 'Street Curses' alone, prob my fave AC song at the moment.

Danse Manatee/Hollindagain for more disjointed noisey non-songs.

you won't like Prospect Hummer if you don't like Sung Tongs.

Feels is the tribal pop classic.

and Spirit is sort of the halfway point between the proper 'songs' and the weird noise.


Feels

is the obvious choice

'Purple Bottle' and 'Grass' are two of the greatest tracks ever and Feels itself is one of my favourite albums


get it all..

spirit they've gone/spirit they've vanished took me a while to get into but now i just love it.

feels is similar to strawberry jam so you should probably like it.

basically they are my favourite band in the world..
