Can someone explain what Crepuscule with Pacman by the Intelligence is?

Are they releasing two new albums?

Anyone heard the orbits - i blame you yet? All the Orbits stuff I've heard is awesome. (of course, it's Rick Froberg, has he ever been involved in anything less-than-awesome)

Baron Von Headless

You mean Obits, right? Like obituaries.

Understandably it's less chaotic than all the other bands but I'm pretty meh about it.

Haha yeah I meant Obits.

I dig what I've heard of the album. Need to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Obviously, there's nothing as good as "Step On Chameleon" or "Bye Nancy Boy" or something, but I wasn't expecting that. Still some cool 2 guitar shit and Froberg's got an awesome voice as usual. May not make my top 100 but we'll see.

I really enjoy the Night Marchers, John Reis's new band.

Their single makes their lack of a sonic vocabulary painfully evident. Basically sounds like anything off The Body, The Blood, The Machine.

Just got lustmord - the dark places of the earth. Awesome album.

future of the left- travels with myself and another
jeffrey lewis- em are i
top class indie pop feelgood albums of recent days...

How do you pronounce Wavves?

i ay it like the thing in the ocean, but spend more time on the "A's" & "V's"
like i say
waaaaaaaavvvvvvves

but thats probably just me

im usually a fan of anything remotely punk, but ive yet to be sold on this wavves character

It's just pop rock.

pop cock more like

ty segall is infinitly better than WAvvves.
but i feel wavves are gonna be this years big thing come the summer....

So I'm exploring this stuff and it seems like every other band is minimalist lofi rock. Is that the next big thing or something?

Daughters Of The Sun - "Rings"

Seriously. Excellent.

Yes
Two new Intelligence LPs. Crepuscule With Pacman is actually out now on Born Bad. "Fake Surfers" comes out sometime in the next month or so on In The Red. C.W.P. is good, but the In The Red one is great. Possibly the best Intelligence album yet.

I agree about Fake Surfers being possibly the best yet. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is. It's kinda like if The Intelligence made five more albums and then collected a greatest hits collection, then Fake Surfers would be that greatest hits collection. Every song has a different guitar sound, different vocal sound, drum sound, mood....yet it's plenty cohesive, and the songs hang together well in sequence. Crepuscule With Pacman is worth tracking down if you are a fan of the more home-recorded 4-tracky style of Boredom & Terror. It's very consistent in that style. The songs are all clever as you have come to expect from The Intelligence. AllHands, I featured this album on my blog last week, and Fake Surfers two weeks before...(in case you need a taste)

Mother Of Fire - "LAMBS"

Essential.

I'm really enjoying Skull Defekts.

Is it just me or is 2009 > 2008?
