Why is cleaner production for a band that sounds like that better?

I prefer their cleaner sound to what they sounded like in Nouns. Plus the songwriting and vocals are much better in their second record. Don't disregard the fact that I find Nouns an extremely well made album, but to me they only seem to be getting better. Now only if they just make another album, see if it can top Everything in Between.

We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic - Foxygen

I was really floored by this. It isn't some masterful record that's going to redefine indie music, but damn if it isn't one of the catchiest, cleverest albums I've heard so far this year. The tracks where he especially sounds like Jagger are the best.

Can't believe it's been ten years since this record dropped. Oh how time just flies right by us

Alameda is easily one of the best songs ever written. And also very fun to play on guitar.

This is just brilliant. "No Return" and "End of the Season" in particular are gorgeous. I really think that The Kinks don't get enough credit in terms of 60's british rock music. Everyone talks about The Beatles and The Stones, but the run of Kinks albums from Face to Face to Lola vs. Powerman is flawless.

Goddamn right. I think The Beatles' consistency was a bit better than that of The Kinks, but they're at least as consistent as The Stones were.

I'd definitely give The Beatles the edge in consistency, though it's a bit unfair since The Beatles probably have one of the most consistent discographies in music history. In terms of other comparable 60's bands, though, The Kinks did really well.
