There appears to be a video in the making:
With all the slomo/lens flare/blurry/double exposure, there’s quite a familiar nostalgic touch to it.
@Bartok! Thanks a lot for the effort!
Oh, i see….so, will it be one record with Olaf and one with Ingvald, or both sessions on one album? i’m confused, haha
@Bartok: Yes, new chapter refered to he actual new material with Ingvald on drums. Which someone wrote would drop in February already.
– Captain is really great
– Psycholab really grew on me. a brilliant VU/Stereolab-bastard and a good portion of bittersweet nostalgic hedonism with that harmonic shift in the chorus….instant classicHad my copy in the mail today…..vinyl looks marvellous and i like the uniform subpop-y label as well.
The record itself might not be life altering, but i enjoy it a lot. Mainly because, like Yay, there’s a lightness and joy to it i missed on the previous albums. The less-is-more drumming is great, bass sound is fantastic and in general the production leaves air to breathe. The Scheps approach definitely fits the records made with Tomas, but i like that side more. Glad I bought it and it will be a good companion until the new chapter starts in february!
all the way! GBD: He wrote that the digital release will not be before vinyls are being shipped.
It’s a nice collector piece….actually i had hoped for the songs to be much more off the rails. Most songs are not far away from what they did recently. I’ll have it spinning and see where it goes and grows
Haha, Beard One and Two, but who is who? ;-)
Also, the closing track Condor has Snah on drums….that’s a first, isn’t it?
The recorded rise of mighty Ingvald is yet to come…i had expected to read his name here already. That only makes me more curious as to what will be after Neigh

So far, I like Psycholab the most. Crownee Says is not really my favourite side of MP, but I definitely love how they don’t overthink the whole thing and just go for whatever genre/musical era they enjoy exploring. The song is full-on late 70s/early 80s radio rock, but i also get a certain 90/00s EP lightness from the tracks. Maybe this would have also worked as a less folky, more electrified Tussler #3. Looking forward to finding out how the tracks will work as a whole. Cheers.

Paywall unfortunately..anyway, rating: 8/12
Due to the heat, the crowd was somewhat dazed and exhausted. Dyse, who played right before MP really know how to win a crowd over, but even for them it took a lot of effort…and they eventually succeeded. Linechecking with Judas Priest’s “Living after Midnight” set a cheerful mood right from the start. With the sun setting behind the stage, the atmosphere wonderfully fit the light-hearted concept regarding the singles-focused setlist. There were a couple of non-psychonauts in my travel party (they are good people, anyway
) who struggled a bit with the more demanding club shows, so for them it was a nice way to find an approach to the band and discover greatness! They enjoyed it and I enjoyed it a lot as well. The sound was really good, especially a little further away from the stage towards FOH. Singing was really good also. Another thing that struck me was Ingvald’s fantastic playing. At Beatpol Dresden last year, I already thought: Wow, he’s got it! This works really well. Yesterday, the interplay between them was on an even higher level. Intuition, precision, nuances…..all magically formed a unit as if they played together since forever! What a band.
