Listen to samples here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fall-Be-Kind-An ... 002RD4UZY/

The song "I Think I Can" sounds like it is going to be epic!

Cant wait for this.

I've heard a lot of good things. If anyone wants to nudge me in the right direction of listening to it, that would be greatly appreciated

I'm going to wait till release.
Not drinking alcohol saves a lot of money for record consumption... and 'What Would I Want? Sky' sounds exactly like the sort of thing I want to spend my cash on.

its even fucking better than merriweather which i never would have thought. this could be their best release up to date.

Yeah, I'll wait till release I reckon. I also have that What would I want? Sky on my iTunes, and it sounds quite static compared to live recordings.. lacks Avey Tare's nonsensical ramblings at the beginning I guess

I thought it was quite weak compared to the other four tracks. Still nice though, a return to Feels-era kinda stuff.

Bleeding's one of the better tracks on there

No need to wait further, if you're willing to grab this digitally. It's out now on Bleep and other digital distributors. Just DLed it last night. (:

This is a much less straight-forward, more intricate release than Merriweather, by far. Definitely more of an introspective journey, too. Fantastic EP...really look forward to listening to it more this weekend.

Worries me a bit that the vocals have obviously been processed/pitch-corrected, which makes me think this could be a hard act to replicate on the road. Anyone heard these tracks live?

IanRedpoint · Post by **IanRedpoint** » Fri Nov 27, 2009 5:06 pm

Heard Graze, What Would I Want? Sky and Bleeding live and all sounded fine. Can't say I noticed the pitch correction, but then I wasn't listening out for it at all, just taking in the overall swirl of sound.

I know what you mean about it being more of an introspective journey. Utterly hooked/obsessing over On A Highway at the moment. AC and Bibio have completely consumed my listening this year. Nothing else has come close.

Yeah, What Would I Want? Sky was great, Avey was really good. Panda Bear less so, as much as I hate to say. He couldn't hit a note properly all night really.

that's the only piece of evidence on the tube of the gig i saw
