It would appear that with this recording the artist has taken the unique artistic decision of removing every element that made his music interesting; a bold choice.
Yes, I am one of those big dumb dopes; compared to the various drone/noise bands on Not Not Fun, this is woefully uninteresting, and makes me pine for the DB of ‘Shangri-La’ and ‘Lone Runner’.
i mean, i can’t argue with the superb consistency of not not fun’s artists, but i think the soundtrack work and recent string of EPs he’s done over the last few years rack up there with my favorite nnf releases. personally, i don’t see this as a new ground DB is trying out–he’s had releases devoid of the qualities of old blood and night city and badlands since bird EP. i respect not enjoying any of his endeavors not showcasing that sound which has become his popular trademark sound and admittedly is fantastic, but this release, especially the last two songs, are not a new side of alex either. at the same time, i don’t think the dark DB of the releases you name is gone forever either. sorry for calling you tho mane. jumped the gun
No problem, it was mainly frustration speaking earlier; I’ll give this another listen minus the preconceptions; the final song has started to grow on me a bit.
