MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Pts 1-5)

Spencer Krug’s debut LP from his solo-project, Moonface, titled Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped via Jagjaguwar. After a week Sarah started to dig it while Brandon said it didn’t make him want to stab himself in the face with a rusty spade. That’s a good thing, right? All five parts of what turned … Continue reading

MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 5)

In this thrilling conclusion to the Organ Music dialectic, Sarah accuses Brandon of being dramatic and makes up an acronym, which she then explains, thus eliminating the efficacy of the acronym. Also, listen to the final song of the album.

MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 4)

Brandon takes issue with a few of Sarah’s statements. It seems like the album’s souring on him. That’ll happen when you listen to organ music over and over again for a week. Unless you’re Sarah, apparently.

MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 3)

So, it appears Sarah has come around and thinks Krug found himself in the organ. She also tells us that she has a little “pop dude” living inside of her and presumes that this is normal and universal. Let me be the first to point out that only Scientologists and pregnant ladies have little people … Continue reading

MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 2)

Brandon digs into Moonface and whines that it’s not more like Sunset Rubdown’s Dragonslayer or Wolf Parade’s Apologies to the Queen Mary. He also seems to make an allusion to dead horses being beaten. In summation, Brandon is a pointlessly violent whiner.

MOONFACE – Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped (Part 1)

Spencer Krug’s debut LP from his 4,756th project, this his solo-effort, Moonface titled Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I’d Hoped is out today via Jagjaguwar. I think Sarah has listened to the album, though she seems to have preferred opening the dialectic by musing on the prolific music machine that is Spencer Krug. Who can … Continue reading

THE HORRORS – Skying (Pts 1-4)

Instead of posting Part 4 separately, because we’re running a little behind this week, we just went right for the full Friday compilation. The full dialectic, including Megan’s final, insecurity-laden statement about a specific British pop music torch, can be found after the jump along with a link to the full album stream, which is … Continue reading

THE HORRORS – Skying (Part 3)

The Horrors‘ Skying is their best album to date, gimmick or no, says Brandon. He’s also wasted, so take that with a grain of salt. Furthermore, he’d like you to know that this is not a dance album. Well, it is and it isn’t. (This section is also being written by Brandon, who remains in … Continue reading

THE HORRORS – Skying (Part 2)

Megan is back with a scathing account of the 80s and queries about band “gimmicks” on the path to success. Also, she still wishes she were a DJ. She doesn’t come right out and say it, but…c’mon. DJing is way sweeter than med school.

THE HORRORS – Skying (Part 1)

The Horrors are set to release their third album, Skying, stateside in a couple weeks via XL. These guys started out as a goth-punk group in 2007 and are now releasing maybe the most upbeat record of 2011. What? Megan Bowers swings by for another dialectic as we unravel the the mysteries and bury ourselves … Continue reading
