omg you guys, can you believe this?!?! **motions at no one**
I KNOW! holy sh**! holy effing sh**ting f**kcakes! i can't believe this!
THE BELLE GAME, a band from Vancouver I found out about AGES ago just made the 'Best New Track' list on Pitchfork's main page! No seriously, I remember learning about this band like back in 2010 when one of my facebook friends who lives in Vancouver was like "you should check out this band" and i was like "okay" and i did and i loved them and i totally included them on compilation CDs i made for my friends because this was 2010.
and i'm really digging this new song. Pitchfork describes it as "a fairly standard and agreeable piece of indie rock" and because i'm lazy and can't even begin to come up with a phrase like "anachronistic hollowed-out reverb", i'm going to agree. (why do i always feel like people who write for Pitchfork have PhDs in music from some obscure mid-western university no one's ever heard of? "yeah, I did my dissertation on hollowed-out reverb in late nineteenth century neo-classical shoegaze with a specialization in baroque sub-synth acoustics and new-wave dream pop" file under: i dont even know)
so anyway this is just one of those moments where being really into an obscure band pays off and in my head i'm like, "ugh i am so ahead of the game." The Belle Game, that is. AHAHAHAHAHhaHAHAH!! ugh thank god no one's reading this.
i need to stop talking ("put the keyboard down, and back away from the clamshell.") but i'm really excited to see an up-and-coming Canadian band get a little bit more attention, especially one i'm a fan of.
yay Curhnurhdurh!
