"give up the ghost" has a kind of grizzly bear feel, like the soft-spoken songs from their 'friend' ep. "morning mr magpie" has more of the vibe-like guitar riffs, with thom wailing as usual. "codex" has a kind of coldplay feel, if that isn't sacreligious. melancholy piano chords resonant as a single bass drum beats.
my favorite track is "little by little", though. i'm a chord progression girl, and this one has some good'uns. the incessant drum chattering also keeps it propelled, never stagnant.
the whole album is dreamy, one you could listen to while lying on your carpet, bemoaning your exhausting life, or celebrating the dots on your ceiling.
I feel like describing Radiohead with a Coldplay feel is a little backwards, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt till I listen. I have been exhausted lately
ReplyDeleteit's the beginning of the song, it's just the solo piano. and yes, chronologically speaking, it's a backwards reference. i think what i meant was that it had that sort of root piano feeling with the psychedelic undertones and indistinct warbling added on top of it.
ReplyDeletewhere is the download
ReplyDeletewell radiohead has a download page on their site, but i torrented it because i am poor.
