ah! and you know
i put on 'summer in abaddon' for the first time in ages yesterday.
love pinback.
all this good weather is made for pinback.
other men is more experimental but the tunes are still there. i think rob crow is a pretty unique songwriter, he deserves more credit.
Sargeant Pinback from the film 'Dark Star' was awesome
I wonder if the character Pinbacker in Boyle's 'Sunshine' was an intentional nod to him.
Listening to some songs on myspace...
Liking it...
Another album to buy ?
yes
terrifically complex indie-pop music.
Pinback
kick ass. What'd you say the name of his new band is? (I made the mistake of loaning out Summer In Abaddon, so I'll have to find another copy, I suspect.)
they're called
Other Men
I was really disappointed
by summer in abbaddon, never could get into it. This is a pinback CD and Bluescreen Life are so much better!
i thought
summer in abaddon was a good album. it was my first pinback exposure though, before goingback to blue screen life, think that probably made the difference.
I like Summer in Abaddon
it just takes a while to get used to the production. it's a more hi-fi effort than anything else he's done. blue screen life is probably my favourite but i reckon summer has more good songs than the debut.
