LP13 - Just Give Us Some F*&king News...

[last unicorn]

Now I listened to it again very closely and loud on earphones. It's definitely a Danger Mouse track. It sounds like Broken Bells a bit, but also has an Oriental vibe about it, you can hear it most clearly in the end. Sounds interesting, but it's impossible to make a judgment with such a bad sound quality.

im pretty sure the beach clip is better than what will eventually get released

Once everyone's opinion latches itself onto it, most definitely!

Sadly.

Everyone will fill in the gaps with what they want and then get disappointed when they hear the real thing.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'm pretty sure those who hear what they want to hear from this incredibly muddled clip will be sorely disappointed

 

[dan_smee]

I'll have a crack at cleaning it up later. Won't be able to until tonight. Without headphones, all I can discern is falsetto, broken bells type vocal syncopation, and as last unicorn described what is a strangely oriental feel. Interesting is all I can say

Painful listen, commenting on all the freaking background noise purely, interesting, guessing the finished version will sound totally different since we like to fill in the gaps with our imagination when we get clips like these.

Just real quick messed with the equalizer on iTunes and from 2:00 on I can actually hear REALLY well. There's got to be a chick on this song, though, or that's the best falsetto I've ever heard.

Coconuts clips!

y'all realize that the soundcloud clip is only half as long as the mp3 floating around, right?

I noticed that, but the MP3 has about two minutes of people talking to the point that you can't hear the music in the background, so perhaps the version uploaded was kindly edited to not waste time? I've been listening to the MP3 so I don't know.

 

[last unicorn]

I also thought I heard a woman sing, I don't think it's Edge or Bono's falsetto, sounds like a female voice indeed. I wonder who this could be

yep... you're not missing much in the 5 minute version.. though there is obviously a bit more to (not) hear.

could be Angel Deradoorian, who sang backing vocals on Ordinary Love. she used to be in Dirty Projectors

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Well we know the band have lost their balls

Hiyo

How do you go about finding that?

You guys, I have a confession. I've been hiding it for months, and have been disguising my anxiety over the secret with silly gifs.

That woman you hear singing on the track?














It's me.

after about 8 listens, I can confirm the song has one catchy hook. much catchier than Invisible.

my money's on this being the first single

It would be pretty ballsy of them to have this as the lead single. I mean, from what I can make out of it.

It's hard to say if it's 'epic' enough for a lead single. Didn't people who listened to the new music call it 'epic'?

The beach clip cuts out the part where Avicii and Justin Bieber come in. The kids'll love it.

So things that you can tell from this clip
--it sounds like a danger mouse produced track
--it's mid tempo
--it's u2
--there is a falsetto sung by someone, maybe bono, maybe the edge, maybe a yet unknown female

Things you can't tell from this clip
--it's "epicness"
--if it's good, bad or in between
--it's single worthyness
--what bono is eating

Weren't some people in favor of a midtempo/ballad-like song being a lead single not too long ago?

And without having heard it, I can guess a fair amount of...pareidolia, for lack of a better term, where people attribute the literal atmosphere of the beach where it's being recorded to the actual recording itself and then wonder what happened to the atmospherics when the actual recording comes out.

"Magnificent sounded so much better as a beach clip!"

Yet it was the exact same as the album version...only imagined 'atmosphere!'

That said, the song structure of the Breathe beach clip was literally different.
