any idea what's going on around 3:08? i just started listening to these guys (they're awesome, i love this record) due to their bassist stepping in to tour with foals, and wanted to watch some live vids. it sounds like some DL4-type stuff but after some quick googling, it doesn't seem like he uses one.
100% agree with a lot of the comments. I’m a big fan of Wolf Alice and King Krule but these guys really deserve more recognition. Such an underrated band and I hope they continue to produce their music! Really happy got to see them live at my uni :)
EE should be exactly what the Mercury Prize is about.. Innovation and incredible execution. I always feel weird when they're referred to as 'math rock', doesn't seem like a fair genre. But i guess if you span so many genres, they become irrelevant
Gaming Videos for the Apathetic Youth their stuff the first album and stuff from before that was far more math rock than what they release now, I would agree that math rock doesn’t really fit them now
Simply, THE best band in the UK. And they have been for a good few years now. Yet, inexplicably, they don't have nearly the following they deserve. I just don't get it. It's not like their music is even that 'challenging', a lot of Radiohead's songs are probably more challenging than EE's, but they're massive. I'm off to see them next month in a small/medium sized venue, when they should be filling arenas.
They always divide people-usually into those who think they are self-regarding and pretentious and those who think they are the smartest, humblest, most astute social commentators in music, plus they do write banging tunes. I feel it's better to polarise then be just 'meh'!
The right people won that year - Wolf Alice. I’m a fan of both bands, own their albums, go to their gigs...Visions of a Life by Wolf Alice was the best album. An outstanding album.
