Just the distorted guitars and lyrics. Its a lot heavier than Eisley normally is. Just a joke. RELAX MAN TAKE A

I cannot remember Combinations for the life of me. I listened to Room Noises yesterday and I smacked myself for not listening again sooner.

Really like the new song.

Bumping the thread due to the unstoppable urge to tell as many people as possible how fucking AMAZING Combinations is.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #252 on:** January 10, 2011, 11:41:42 PM »

I listened to Combinations on the way to school. No bad songs, but few memorable ones. Need to listen some more to see if it clicks for me the way room Noises did.

That does it.

As much as I love Combinations, it's now perfectly clear that The Valley is going to completely kick its ass.

Psyched about the new album.
Haven't heard Combinations yet (bad i know), i really gotta fix that first.

It's a great album, at this stage I would say that it is on par with room noises.

As for the new songs, ambulance could just about be my favourite Eisley song. Smarter sounds good too but I don't think it's one of their best.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #256 on:** January 12, 2011, 11:55:43 AM »

Is there a date on the new album yet?

Sigz · « **Reply #257 on:** January 12, 2011, 11:56:20 AM »

March 1st.

I found a used copy of the Laughing City EP yesterday and just gave it a spin. A random collections of thoughts:

It made me realize how happy I am with their production nowadays. The versions of I Wasn't Prepared and Telescope Eyes sounds like demos compared to what appeared on Room Noises.

Holy fuck distorted guitar. They didn't save it for special occasions back then, it's in every song!

I really like the three B-sides on the album, Tree Tops, Over the Mountain, and Laughing City. I'm glad I picked this up just for them.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #260 on:** January 15, 2011, 03:22:15 PM »

After hearing all the talk about this band here, I'm going to try them later today.

They pretty much stole my middle name for their band name, so they better be good.

contest_sanity · « **Reply #261 on:** January 15, 2011, 03:30:36 PM »

After finally buying the hype you guys have been pimping, I stop by to say that I am now enjoying Room Noises.

Carry on.

Gadough · « **Reply #262 on:** January 15, 2011, 08:38:58 PM »

Our hype has not taken full effect until you begin listening to Room Noises 10 times every day and you've built a shrine to it in your closet.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #263 on:** January 15, 2011, 08:43:08 PM »

I don't think I've regularly listened to Room Noises since 2006. I don't know why.

The timing is rarely right. That's it.

Room Noises doesn't have enough bleeps and bloops for you.

Also, it stopped being indie in 06 when someone else heard of them.

I have EP2 but not Laughing City so I'm not sure if the versions are the same, but I love the old arrangement of Telescope Eyes with the distorted guitars.

Blackened Crown is also one of my favorite songs of theirs.

NEW SONG?!?!?!

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #268 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:28:37 AM »

I'm holding off on all the new songs until I hear the album in full.

glaurung · « **Reply #269 on:** January 25, 2011, 12:57:48 PM »

Pre-orders now available: https://equalvision.merchnow.com/

It's weird that the lithograph isn't also signed by Garron and Weston. I mean, I know they have penises but they are in the band too.

Sigz · « **Reply #270 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:07:41 PM »

Yeah that's kinda lame, though they suffer from being the non-female, non-singing, rhythm section of a band that has basically no focus on the bass or drums at all.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #271 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:08:38 PM »

Preordering the vinyl now

glaurung · « **Reply #272 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:12:07 PM »

I would have ordered the CD and a Lithograph if there was an option for it. I don't listen to vinyl, so I don't really want to pay that much more just to get the parts I do want. I got the CD though, so I'm happy.

Sigz · « **Reply #273 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:13:29 PM »

Agreed. I have access to a turntable almost none of the time, and even when I do it's total shit and doesn't have a good sound system to hook into. Totally useless.

glaurung · « **Reply #274 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:18:05 PM »

I asked about the Garron and Weston signature thing on their status update and my comment has gotten a few likes already, so clearly we're not the only ones who think it weird.

Nathan: The Litho will be signed by everyone... like, real signatures. The art was created by the girls... so we added their sig's on the print so you'd know who drew/painted what.

Ah, my mistake. Nice of them to clarify though.

As cruel as it sounds, I don't care about Garron...at all. They could lose him and not have a bass player at all, and I wouldn't give half a fuck.

What? There are some pretty nice bass parts. Nothing uber technical or in your face, but I think you would notice if the bass was actually taken out.

wot

I only know Room Noises (heard Combinations once), but the bass definitely enhances the music, and fills it out nicely on the bottom end of the scale (their songs seem to tend to higher registers, which the bass complements nicely).
