@hogw: Thanks for confirming. Was wondering if my Oslo ticket suddenly wasn’t valid anymore
@ijustpop: Are you sure about the date? Because they’re playing @ Johan Harstad’s art exhibition in Oslo the same day…
@Deadnautpsychohead: If you ordered through Bandcamp, you should have received an-email with the download link around September 13th.
Doesn’t say which day MP will be playing there though.
After many spins of Neigh!!, I can say that I like it. With the exception of This Is Your Captain. Snah’s vocals really break my immersion + the song does sound like an average jam being patched together into an average semi-coherent song. Riff change at 5th minute into a cool outro groove is too little too late.
But I like the rest of the record. Even Crownee Says
it’s a well-written T.Rex/Bowie/New York Dolls homage.Thanks for the write-up, Bartok. Much appreciated!
Interesting to read that they’ll be playing at Johan Harstad’s art exhibition in Oslo. Sounds like something I should try to attend
Also I’m wondering what will be the next part in the “emulating Fleetwood Mac’s Albatross” collection of songs. We’ve had Cormorant, Snahlbatros and now Condor. I’m guessing Falcon, Seagull, Pigeon and Owlaf are next?
I think my favorite track so far is Revenants. Bent acoustic strummer combined with a sinister synth bass in the background = winner!
@hogw: As much as I love Snah, there’s not a chance in hell he hits those high notes live. A tad studio augmentation there, I reckon.
On the 3rd listen now, and it’s honestly starting to grow.
But the album does feel all over the place, with a bunch of semi-finished/un-produced ideas thrown together haphazardly. But maybe that’s the charm of it.My first impression was that they made the right decisions leaving these songs off the other albums. Because this REALLY sounded like a bunch of outtakes/rejected songs (well they are, but you know…)
And don’t get me started on Snah’s vocals on This Is Your Captain. Biggest WTF moment of the record
Of course there will be repeated listens, and some songs do sound like growers. But first impression was a bit underwhelming even knowing the nature of these lo/no-fi tracks.
It was interesting to hear Bent describe the album. He said a few songs were short, straightforward thingys. While a couple of the songs “could only be played on the night broadcast”, whatever that means.
Also mentioned full promo. So I’m guessing extensive touring in 2025
