I was expecting a more folksy tune from you, but I was pleasantly surprised when I pressed play. The percussion and background part was great, and the vocals only slightly less so. Keep up the good work! You also got the stamp of disapproval from Trollheart, so now you know it's a great track.

I loved it

And yes, Cake

Sounds kind of folksy to me.

Yes I hear the Cake comparison because of the talking parts but I can also hear it being similar to The Uncluded. It has the same folksy vibe that those two have together.

You're right that this track is meant to be minimalistic, all the percussive bits are being played on household objects (mason jars, water bottles, a 2x4, etc). The gong sound you hear are actually three mixing bowls filled with different amounts of pennies being hit with a mallet. :laughing:

Thanks man. I'll be interested to hear what you think about some of our other releases, especially in terms of instrumentation.

:D You'll have to come to a gig when we tour the PacNW next summer.

Thanks for turning me on to The Olivia Tremor Control. Good luck in your endeavors.

Wild horses 'n shit. :)

Like Frownland, I was expecting something a little more folksy too. Well, a lot more folksy, Are you suggesting that some of the other tracks on the record may sound more like that?

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Whatever it sounds like I'll be keeping up with the rest of the album. :thumb:

Dude. That was great! Seriously something I'd listen to even if I didn't know the person who made it. :)

And since everyone is tossing out comparisons, here's mine: Tom Zé with Anticon.

Sounded like Mr Rogers to me, and yes Cake too.

Good stuffs. Looking forward to the next one.

Released on the landmark beard-punk No Idea Records label based in Gainesville, alongside the likes of Against Me!’s “Reinventing Axl Rose,” Ghost Mice’s “DEATH AND HATRED TO MANKIND,” and Paul Baribeau’s “Unbearable,” (as well as material released by Alkaline Trio, Less Than Jake, A Wilhelm Scream, etc.), Creepoid’s sophomore album is a novel and altogether time-travelling blend of noisy psychedelic folk-punk that reeks of stale beer and feels like the come down of an opiate fueled head rush.

I caught Creepoid on tour with Against Me! this August and I’ve kept them in constant rotation since. I wish I had chatted them up after the show in retrospect, but I was so jazzed to meet Laura Jane Grace that the most I could muster was a meek “thanks, great set” to the bassist after she gave me a free sticker from the passenger seat of their van before they left the venue.

The album dark, it’s gritty, and it’s loud. But most of all, it’s cool. I highly recommend trying to catch these guys as they’re seemingly always on tour.
