Why is that, the costumes? It's just these 2 guys playing music. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were signed to Touch 'N Go Records. Framed that way, this stuff is pretty tame.
nah, those girls were all legal already. otherwise i would have to delete the one or other wet dream from back in the days when i was like 13.
an angular melody is when it is using bigger intervals as usual. the opposite is a lyrical melody, which mostly uses second intervals for a good part. the more angular a melody is, the more it makes sense / the more it is bearable when a phrase is repeated multiple times.
It's like you're conceptually building something using the algorithm, but in reverse: they "dress up", stare at themselves in the mirror before playing and go: —Parfait, we’re freaky enough for the algorithm! To hell with making conventional performances... the ultimate goal is to be the biggest freak show possible, mon cher! I’m genuinely rooting for their success, and they might even be appreciated by musicians (the pro‑prog market share), but for the general crowd it’s just a failed performance art stunt: —What kind of bargain‑basement acid trip cosplay was that, for fuck's sake? But, as I said, I think it's valid... music doesn’t need a salvation label, it just needs space to exist! Last edited: Mar 25, 2026 at 10:15 PM
I'm just at a loss of what kind of dumb comment this possibly is. Do White Middle-Aged American men hate them, because all their influences seem to be other White Middle-Aged American men? Or is it the costumes they get mad about, because they are just hiding the fact they are flappy flapping-headed Canadians? Slint influence? ✅ Shellac influence? ✅ Danny Carey math drum influence? ✅ Man or Astroman surf-guitars in space influence? ✅ Feel free to let me know if I missed any, because I probably did. It will be more middle-aged white american men anyway.
