let me just say that i hate tortoise, "post-rock" or whatever, etc...
to say i was skeptical when someone told me i should listen to the new
trans am would be an understatement
forget the rock songs, the rest of this lp (makes up more than half if i
remember correctly) is pure, 808-driven, melodic and nostalgic electronica
... that is to say, it's very good indeed
the fact that indie-rock people are loving this is very confusing, but
don't let it put you off (this sounds snobby i know, but an indie-rock
association tends to make some of us skeptical)
there's even a wicked afx-y distorted track!
