It’s a little bizarre having these songs [on Torres] still feel fresh to so many ’cause to me they’re so old. I mean even when I released it originally I’d had some songs for like three years.

“I don’t really get obsessed with artists or records very often.”

“I tend to get stuck on a musician and don’t really branch out a lot. I get really obsessive about my music and I will listen to one artist for a year or two, and then I’ll have a new one.”

“When I get obsessed with a band or singer or album or song I tend to wear it out.”

“I’m obsessed with Johnny Cash and Kurt Cobain.”

The Growlers - Scala, London 30/10/13 | The 405 Reviews

"...already there are beer cans passing heads and shielded pedal boards. Singer Brooks Nielsen's signature bop takes full swing as tunes covering their entire back catalogue are delivered in their own inimitably lackadaisically baled way."

I wrote a review of thegrowlers @The SCALA in London for TheFourOhFive just t'other day. I'll write about another band one day, I promise.

12 years later, The Mountain Goats' All Hail West Texas has been remastered, and Kevin Dunn from the 405 has reviewed it, in part, by referencing some of my sentiment from an earlier Lovely Arc post. That makes me feel good. I'm going to listen to this record now while I clean my bedroom.

Conor Mason // The 405 Review

A jolly nice review from thefourohfive for Conor's new album. Did we mention it's out on Monday!

"I’d synced the entire album onto my iPod meaning to listen to it on the bus at some point, when Lights came on over shuffle. It was one of those songs that made me stop and check to see who it was, not just because I’d never heard it before, but because it was so refreshing."
