Same here with Mr. Bibs and AC. Was hoping the new FLips LP would do the same, but it just hasn't stuck with me. I did spend a lot of the year going through heaps of old vinyl though, and I found plenty of good ear fodder there (Steppenwolf still sounds golden).IanRedpoint wrote: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.
Regarding pitch-correction, I know they used it a bit on Merriweather. The vocal arpegios on Fall Be Kind (especially on I Think I Can) are even more detailed and pitch-perfect. They're a solid live act, but not really known for hitting notes spot on like that...has to have been done in post-production. Not that it matters too much. I do the same for vox on my tracks, albeit in a much less sophisticated way than what they probably have access to.
Cheers for the link! Always seems that either Avey or Panda Bear are on-pitch, but rarely both at the same time. It worked better in the earlier days when their music didn't depend so much on solid harmonies and pop hooks, just random hoots and howls.saurus wrote: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.Skytree wrote:. Anyone heard these tracks live?
that's the only piece of evidence on the tube of the gig i saw
Still, their new stuff is fucking superb, so I'll shut up and just enjoy the ride.
