Same here. Even Dawn Chorus is kinda of blah.

i guess i like their sadder music with the bends being my fav thing so it makes sense why i like this.

for me so far the final 2 tracks are the weakest on the album so i'm curious to hear what the vinyl closer is

The PTA short is phenomenal man

by **bluemovers** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 3:17 pm

my kids were really into the short on netflix this morning. i picked my 6yo daughter up from camp an hour ago and Traffic came on and she said 'daddy, this is the dancing song from the movie this morning! i love this music and the singing. this is my new favorite singer!'

so, you know. i win at parenting.

also agree on the twist to dawn chorus note. thoms still got it

by **zajaxi dynamos** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 4:47 pm

it's fine background music that I will probably never really listen to

by **ripersnifle** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 6:13 pm

im not sure if this stoinks or not
stoinks is probly a strong word in this case

pleasant enough but will probly forget this came out
slightly surprised by the BNM - pretty solid 7ish tranche for me. maybe the BNM from 2019 p4k means it was a good week of press lol

i'm not saying it's particularly trippy, just like, he's really stuck on this vibe. like "close your eyes, and get ready, guys"

If the Modeselektor/FlyLo/AFP club bleepsbloops period was ecstasy then this is his microdosing period

by **tgk** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 7:51 pm

more like yawn chorus

traffic is good tho

by **bluemovers** » Thu Jun 27, 2019 8:14 pm

that’s a real bad take

I’m speechless after watching it just now. Got chills during Dawn Chorus. The visuals and choreography on it are unreal. Excited for more PTA/Head collaborations in the future If they keep happening.

Absolutely.

I only got a chance to listen to the album once this morning on a walk but looking forward to listening to it again on my morning walk tomorrow.

can someone db the pta short pls thx

by **inmate** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 1:36 am

i forgot the short came out today so it was a nice treat when i got high and went on netflix and this was the first thing that came up. blew me away

by **Hugh** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 6:06 am

The short made me feel really good about finally buying a 4K TV.

It was really refreshing to see Thom in such a personal light.

by **bluemovers** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 6:11 am

agreed.

by **Swelling Itching Brain** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 7:53 pm

I guess I've written so many hundreds of words about 'head related stuff in the past I can't be bothered giving a real lengthy appraisal of this album

after a few listens it sounds very cool, and would make excellent soundtrack/library music, but I can't ever see myself wanting to listen to it in a 'I wanna hear some songs' way like I do with proper 'head tracks

I think it's probably his best and most interesting sounding solo record and way better than atoms for peace or modern boxes
I think we're too far separated from the eraser for me to make a comparison beyond 'that one sounds like that and this one sounds like this'

by **Swelling Itching Brain** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:08 pm

I guess it just reinforces for my tastes, Radiohead truly are a gestalt phenomenon

by **The Beast** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:22 pm

This is super good however I'm unsure of if it's because our in spite of sounding like Depeche mode 1999-2008

by **brent** » Fri Jun 28, 2019 10:09 pm

the pta thing is awesome

the album is enjoyable

by **mego** » Sat Jun 29, 2019 2:22 am

Love the vid

The album is great but I think it’d be better if it ended with The Axe.

Impossible Knots and Runwayaway are clearly the two weakest tracks imo. Shave those off and you have a really good 38 minute album.

Actually I guess Impossible Knots isn’t a bad track on its own but it doesn’t fit the rest of he album
