Ah yeah, I never quite got round to that. Basically 'slowlane tā€™was fecking immense. Intense, emotionally charged, but wonderful. Even for a Sufjan newb like myself, it was thoroughly enjoyable. Our group was torn on him, he didnā€™t say a word for the first 30/45 mins then started talking quite a bit about some abstract stuff. I quite enjoyed it, the others could do without it. Thereā€™s such a diverse mix of obvious influences, nods and references going on from Buckley to Floyd, yet itā€™s a really unique sound all on itā€™s own. Blue Bucket of Gold was my favourite, truly stunning. Hope thatā€™s better dude šŸ™‚ This is also getting a good airing on 6music at the moment, which Iā€™m enjoying a lot.

Thanks for the review KRGā€¦like I said before I hesitate to recommend Sufjan because itā€™s often a ā€œwhatā€™s all the fuss aboutā€¦I donā€™t get itā€ reaction as with some of your group. BTW I gave you an ā€œUp Voteā€ā€¦but Iā€™ve also given everyone else an ā€œUp Voteā€ in this thread so everyone, please reciprocate. šŸ˜† ---

Sorry, I may have worded that poorly. Everyone really enjoyed the gig, they just wernt too sure on him when he started talking between the songs. Like me, most of us had only heard a little bit of him previously. But had heard enough positive to go, and it also coincided with the Vivid festival in Sydney and was at the Opera House - all that seemed reason enough to check it out šŸ™‚ ---

Mostly the new Rolo Tomassi album. Shoegaze-y, post rocky-y, mathcore brilliance. Some of the most beautiful, haunting, ethereal (and then **BOOM** , downright crushing) music Iā€™ve ever heard. This trackā€™s a particular highlight: [![]( "YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VcYuI7ORs4) ---
