Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 47 - May 2023 /// Ages and Ages "Me You They We"

I couldn't keep up in here as the riddles were solved before I could even have a chance, but I'm listening to the album and loving it. Very catchy and reminds me of a lot of the indie rock I loved in the 00s. Maybe a bit Vampire Weekend esque. I'll be getting a copy, thanks for introducing me to them, and a fun thread to read @Ericj32 !

I didn't know this band.
I'm digging it a lot.

One thing I plan to ask them about in the Q&A is this music video for one of the catchier songs on this album:



Haha, I just have so many questions.

Dude this band reminds me so much of one of my favorite bands, Miniature Tigers. I love it

Bought!

I’m listening to Miniature Tigers now - they’re new to me but I can hear what you’re talking about.

Well, I fell away from checking in on the page and just saw the band/title. I've seen these guys so many times. I really loved the first few albums. Was just thinking about them the other day and if they were up to anything. Used to see him working the counter at Bunk here in Portland a few years back. Good dude.

They're working on a new album! Hopefully that means another round of tour dates in the future - I'd love to see them in DC (or maybe sometime when I'm in Portland).

Nice pick! I'm completely new to this one too, but really digging the sound. It's adjacent to many artists I love, so I'm a bit surprised they've never popped up on my radar.

7 left on bandcamp.

Nice! I thought I saw a post that he was up to something. Great to hear!

I just e-mailed them back about this - I'm pretty sure that they have more than 7 left, they just haven't updated the bandcamp site. They said their bassist had a box of another 30 pink vinyl that they found last week, so, as far as I know, those are still up for grabs.

I'm so happy to hear that you guys are enjoying the album and discovering this band for the first time. I agree that it seems like they should be more widely known.

Gonna be the soundtrack to my ferry ride in a couple minutes! I'm looking forward to it

 

[Matt M]

Saw them up at Bumbershoot in 2011, might've been the first time. Great harmonies and acoustic pieces! Quality phone cameras back then too!

@Ericj32 you’ve got some pull. Impressive!

Haha - I venmo'ed them a chunk of change to cover the int'l shipping costs for anyone from here who wanted to buy the album so I think they're trying to figure out how to make that happen. I hope everyone who wants one is able to snag a copy!

I DID confirm with them just now that the counter on Bandcamp currently doesn't include the extra 30 copies of the pink vinyl that they found last week, so hopefully they'll be able to update that soon.

 

[Ericj32]

Ok - I just heard back that they've fixed the international shipping cost so it should only be like $0.50 now. I'm also seeing that they've updated the counter so there are like 37 copies of the pink vinyl available, so go nuts!!

(Needle and Grooves Int'l) YOINK!

Thanks @Ericj32

Ordered! I like what I've heard so far. Excited to spin this.
