Copeland - Blushing (February 14, 2019) Album • Page 30

Yeah totally see that now. There’s a distinct ebb between each third of the album that makes it sound extremely cohesive. The final 3 track run and beginning 4 are very very good.

Should I be expunging my ideas of Copeland based on what I know of Blushing? Seems like Blushing isn’t too comparable

Also the outdo to Disjointed is probably my favorite thing on the record so I think I’m gonna like Blushing even more

And this record is more Sufjan Stevens than Bon Iver, I remember someone saying the BI comment

 

There’s traces of the band that made Ixora on previous albums, but besides lyrically and a few moments on Ixora (like disjointed, lavender) there isn’t a whole lot that sounds like Blushing.

I recommend the Twin version of Ixora as well. It doesn’t sound like Blushing, but it feels a little more like it to me because of the sparse arrangements.

 

Ixora and twin quadraphonic is the only real way to listen

 

I haven't had a ton of time to listen to this yet but it just really clicked this morning at work, I'm in love. It's probably not a great comparison, but this to me is like taking Foxing's "Five Cups" and making an album out of it.

 

Is there a way to listen to Ixora quadraphonic? I have both albums but have no real practical way of listening to the 2 together.

 

I’m legit behind on a bunch of podcasts and other music because of this album.

 

I have a soundlink and edifier speakers and I use my phone and computer, I’ve only done it like 3-4 times, it’s amazing haha. Hard to line up. My post was mostly a joke

 

Yeah, this and the Chamber of Secrets audio book have prevented me from listening to anything else since Friday.

 

I think there’s a YouTube playlist or SoundCloud playlist that had both of them combined. Not the same as a full quality stream but interesting nonetheless. I can search when i get to work.

 

Back when twin was released, someone combined each track into a single cohesive file. I have it. It sounds a little flat so its probably not quite the same effect as putting them both on at the same time. ive probably only listened to it once or twice, as the regular album is more enjoyable IMO

 

I haven't been able to have a good look because I'm at work but I think I might have found it already!

 

Are you listening to the ones read by Jim Dale? Jim Dale is my actual hero. He is unbelievable.

 

Efffff.

I love this so much...

 

Okay colorless is my favorite now y’all win

 

Pope to Waltz on Water is such a great stretch. Best part of the album

 

I see what you did there...

I'm only commenting because for ten seconds, not being overly familiar with the track listing yet, I was confused.

 

Yes!! I knew you would!

 

the combined versions of ICMYFYA and World Turn are to die for. HIALY, Disjointed, and Like a Lie are also pretty decent combined. Like I Want You is good with it's respective versions played separately. together, it sounds like a bit of a mess, in my opinion.

 

Yea he def got lazy on like I want you, but it’s a bonus track so it’s fine lol

 

How is everyone listening to this!? I wants it

 

Make sure all you Apple Music and Spotify people delete the link and add the actual album from the service so the band gets the streams when it’s out lol... I don’t know why I even think about these things

 

Also I’ll try and get the lyric sheet posted after work today. Too lazy to type it all out but I can scan / take photos of the pages if anyone is curious, though Aaron sings pretty clearly.

 

I honestly don't know, it wasn't acquired from the most legal means.. I just know it's a lively British man who I enjoy!

 

Tooth & Nail has gotten really good recently with making hi-res FLAC files available for purchase, mainly in 24-bit, 48khz quality, so unless the digital download from my vinyl order is that or higher (i'm hopeful because the download for Rabbit in the Snare was 24-bit, 96khz Apple Lossless), i'm gonna pick that up.

 

you beautiful, beautiful people
