Everyones screaming about Geese, i listened to the album that came out last year but I dont get it. I like a couple of the singles but a lot of it proper washed over me.

Yeah,I agree, I think the praise a bit OTT but it's probably because there are so little new bands breaking through to the 'big time' these days

I like that the fella has a lot of Julian Casablancas from The Strokes in his voice but its too arty for me. Give me some power chords and a chorus and im happy.

And i agree on the second part, we're still living in the post-Mr Brightside world where nearly every "rock" band that breaks into the mainstream sounds like the killers. Looking at you Sam Fender.

Fontaines are one of the few who've broke into there while being a little different.

On the radio before, what a tune, with a monster bass line.

Pure 80’s floor filler.

I might not get Geese, but Portishead has clicked recently.

I think it's a lot better to like Portishead

There is a good doc on how this album was made, cos of Geoff's hiphop obsession, he recorded it to an LP, stood on the LP for scratches and layered it to make it sound like the records of the time

Ive tried with Portishead before and it didnt stick. Happened a few times with bands that require a few rounds, My Bloody Valentine was another one.

I was listening to a podcast called Bandsplain that sparked the recent try. I'll have a look at that doc.

The doc is done by the YouTube channel 'trash theory' they do loads of documentaries on albums/genres/scenes

Suppose Massive Attack will have to be next
