The remix of this track is far better and has much more of that YB sound that I love so much. You can download a legit copy for free from here: http://www.themahoganyblog.com/2010/10/younger-brother/

I enjoy heaps of pop, electronica..."gay music" like lady gaga.

YB's first album was different. I love it.
This is shit. Even their last album was a complete meh..

whatttt

last album meh?

Sleepwalker just by itself (well its 2 parts) is more than enough to keep me going back to that album again and again.

Trust me - put on sleepwalker, take a spirit molecule trip and tell me that it doesn't move you to the astral realms and beyond

IMHO, what a steaming pile of turds.

But hey, if it makes 'em happy, I am sure there is an audience for this middle of the road, plastic corporate sounding consumerist fast food pop (at least to my ears and mind).


Just not my cup of (mushroom) tea.

I like this a lot. Very cosy and shoegazish. I'm looking forward to receiving all the great stuff I pledged for It's been quite a while that I've been looking forward to an album so much. Just prooves that Twisted still delivers.

Not that I mind too much, but it strikes me that a lot of people in the world of electronic music automatically refer to music as gay or coldplayish if it doesn't feature any banging bassline, contains lyrics etc. Quite a limited way of thinking, ain't it. And the irony is that, for people who are into Indie music, nothing could be more gay than popping acid and dancing barefoot in the forest. So, after all it might really be time we extended our vocabulary a bit.

I haven't listened to the new stuff cos I don't need or want to, but I can say right away that.. I would probably do the same thing if I were Simon. Why not? I'm a musician who probably played music like this before getting into electronic twiddling, so why not play in a band again? It's fun. Writing songs, jamming with band mates.
The music may sound gay or whatever but hell, its fun to make and maybe it'll even sell records and he'll open for coldplay. As far as I see it, Simon has given a lot to psychedelic music and if he wants to get his feet wet with indie pop, good for him. Nobody has to like it, but it's a shame to lose respect for the man cos this is what he wants to do now.
I just listened to those two tracks Aluxe posted of older YB and feel very satisfied. He has my respect to carry on with new music however it turns out, even if it's nothing I would ever listen to on purpose.

First of all - you make awesome music. Thank you I'm more excited about an album from you than this YB album to be quite honest

Secondly...I'm quite a big fan of the entirety of Twisted's catalog (as you can see from my sometimes obsessively fanboyish comments across various message boards) and I love how they experiment in different directions...but the direction that they seem to be going in based off the night lead me astray track...idk, seems more mainstreamy/accessable/pop than anything else. I would absolutely love to be completely wrong though and have the album blow my brains apart when it (finally) drops
