They've put out a couple of EP's worth of material since Embryonic. An EP w/ Neon Indian, the weirdass Songs From the Gummy Skulls/SFt Gummy Fetuses, an EP w/ Lightning Bolt...
I really love Embryonic too. It's definitely not the kind of record you'd expect from a bunch of 40-something dudes. It's actually challenging. I swear, it could pass for a debut or sophomore effort from an up-and-comer...
It was a bit cold, though- lacked the warmth of Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi, and the better moments from Mystics (which, I don't care what anyone says, contains some GREAT songs, even if it's not a great
album). So I really don't spin Embryonic that much. I have to be in that exact mood and frame of mind... Most of their other albums I could listen to all day.
Newer shit is in the Embryonic vein. More angular and jilted, even the soft songs.
Whatever- they're one of my faves and they've released more good music (and with a higher ratio of good-to-bad) than just about anyone this side of SY. I just hope they don't lose their... um..... *heart* I guess.
