Can someone explain what Crepuscule with Pacman by the Intelligence is?

http://www.bornbad.fr/epages/240383....ducts/694-0001

Are they releasing two new albums?

Anyone heard the orbits - i blame you yet? All the Orbits stuff I've heard is awesome. (of course, it's Rick Froberg, has he ever been involved in anything less-than-awesome)

You mean Obits, right? Like obituaries.

Understandably it's less chaotic than all the other bands but I'm pretty meh about it.

atsonicpark 04.23.2009 04:24 PM

Haha yeah I meant Obits.

I dig what I've heard of the album. Need to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Obviously, there's nothing as good as "Step On Chameleon" or "Bye Nancy Boy" or something, but I wasn't expecting that. Still some cool 2 guitar shit and Froberg's got an awesome voice as usual. May not make my top 100 but we'll see.

I really enjoy the Night Marchers, John Reis's new band.

Their single makes their lack of a sonic vocabulary painfully evident. Basically sounds like anything off The Body, The Blood, The Machine.

Just got lustmord - the dark places of the earth. Awesome album.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.01.2009 04:00 PM

So I'm exploring this stuff and it seems like every other band is minimalist lofi rock. Is that the next big thing or something?

Savage Clone 05.01.2009 04:04 PM

Daughters Of The Sun - "Rings"

Seriously. Excellent.

Yes
Two new Intelligence LPs. Crepuscule With Pacman is actually out now on Born Bad. "Fake Surfers" comes out sometime in the next month or so on In The Red. C.W.P. is good, but the In The Red one is great. Possibly the best Intelligence album yet.

DJ Rick 05.01.2009 04:13 PM

I agree about Fake Surfers being possibly the best yet. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is. It's kinda like if The Intelligence made five more albums and then collected a greatest hits collection, then Fake Surfers would be that greatest hits collection. Every song has a different guitar sound, different vocal sound, drum sound, mood....yet it's plenty cohesive, and the songs hang together well in sequence. Crepuscule With Pacman is worth tracking down if you are a fan of the more home-recorded 4-tracky style of Boredom & Terror. It's very consistent in that style. The songs are all clever as you have come to expect from The Intelligence. AllHands, I featured this album on my blog last week, and Fake Surfers two weeks before...(in case you need a taste)

Savage Clone 05.01.2009 04:27 PM

Mother Of Fire - "LAMBS"

Essential.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 05.01.2009 08:40 PM

I'm really enjoying Skull Defekts.

Is it just me or is 2009 > 2008?
