mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 37

I love the ending of it

 

Watermelon Ascot is my least favourite Pale Horses song too.

Love seeing the Birnam Wood love from @coleslawed!

 

maybe there'll be a bakery hiring
we'll knead a little dough to get by

 

what's a good record to start with this band? never gave them an honest listen

 

Start from the beginning to get the whole experience and immerse yourself.

Most people in here would say Brother, Sister, but I recommend Catch for Us the Foxes.

 

Brother Sister

 

Brother, Sister

 

Brother, Sister

 

Brother, Sister

 

Brother, Sister

 

BroSis is the best entry point

literally everyone has a different favorite so listen to BroSis and then Foxes and then Crazy

if you like post hxc a lot then the first record followed by second era mwY in order - if indifferent to post hxc then directly to second era mwY in order and first record last

 

That was my order when I got into them in 2009. It’s good to get the balance of all their sounds with B,S and then go to each of the extremes with Foxes and It’s All Crazy.

Then you’ve got two (soon to be three) gems to listen to after that. Not counting the new EP.

 

exactly

 

The needle's worn the grooves too deep

 

I lied.

Brother, Sister.

Just fell in love with this record all over again.

 

"Cleanse your minds and palates
As I seldom mince my words
This poor boy's a walking shallot;
Yes, it's shocking as you've heard!
From his lonesome, yellow childhood, so fantastically deformed
He was battered by his classmates
And sauteed like bantam corn
'Red Vidalias!' 'Valley Sweets!' for twelve long, rotten years
If he so much as skinned his knee
The entire schoolhouse moved to tears
We found him where he'd sprouted
Plotting a garden coup d'etat
In a carrot stick and celery stalk menage-a-mirepoix
Now, feast your caramel eyes on the most savory sight in town!"
All his joking well-evoking peals of laughter from the crowd.


Just, so many puns.

 

As a new listener that can't really connect to anything before Ten Stories, but I keep coming back to Pale Horses. This album is really special.

I wish Brother, Sister was available on Spotify so I could give this a fair chance, because I've heard so much good things about this album.

 

???
I'm listening to it on spotify right now

 

funnily enough, this part of my Brother, Sister vinyl skips.

 

That’s kinda awesome lol

 

Has your interrupting cat improved?

 

I actually really dislike Julian the Onion. one of their only songs that feels straight-up forced and didactic to me, I kinda roll my eyes at the ending every time.

Four Fires tho, oof what a tune

 

What makes you roll your eyes? The over the top humor?

 

I only truly got into this band with Pale Horses; I had seen them once before then and have only listened to a few other songs here and there besides PH, mostly from Foxes, since then, and had already decided they are one of my favorite bands. Diving into Ten Stories and Brother Sister in earnest for the first time recently has been a real treat. Bless this band forever and ever.

 

I don't find it that funny, but I roll my eyes at the really clunky and unsubtle 'moral of the story' at the end. it's just a poorer variation on the morals he did with the narrative in songs like Grist for the Malady Mill or Elephant in the Dock imo, which is possibly why it didn't make the album
