This Weeks Best Albums - Week of March 19th, 2013
“Glistening guitar textures and extra-thick bass licks again lead the way, but there are more than a few simple and harmonized vocal refrains to go with intermittent usage of voice as texture. And with sonic switcheroos in the form of trumpet, flute, and synthesizers, the latest from ASIWYFA announces the band’s own bright future.” - Alarm
“The sun is shining, the party’s started. ASIWYFA sound like they’re having fun shaping and performing this music, and you’ll want to be part of it. ” - BBC Music
“their new album is definitely their best yet.” - The 405
“If All Hail Bright Futures is anything, it’s definitely not more of the same. It is daring, adventurous, breathtaking and – above all else – bloody brilliant.” - State.IE
“Everything about And So I Watch You From Afar’s third record is staggeringly delightful. From beginning to end it is a wonderful medley full of bombast and cheer” - The Line of Best Fit
“ASIWYFA reveal that beneath the sixteenth notes and rapid drum fills there is a beating, vivacious heart. All Hail Bright Futures indeed.”
- Pop Matters
“It’s hard for some instrumental acts to keep their sound fresh, but ASIWYFA have exploded out in every direction and pulled together an album that is totally new, but cogent, and yet familiar and true to their sound and sensibilities—some might say ‘fresh to death.’” - Decoy
” Initially it took me off-guard, but even Gangs took me a while to fully wrap my head around at first. Some may wonder why they’ve tweaked the formula. For me I think it’s a refusal to play it “safe” or stand still for too long. I’m all for evolution, especially when it sounds so damn good.”- Echoes and Dust
“The best way to describe And So I Watch You From Afar’s latest full length album All Hail Bright Futures is as 12 tracks of 100% pure positivity. This album just exudes good vibes, which is a change in the band’s sound. Where ASIWYFA’s previous album Gangs seemed like a battle cry on the way into some epic and gory battle, All Hail Bright Futures is the celebration after a long hard-fought victory. ” - Bearded Gentlemen Music
Here are some cameraphone photos which I took at last night’s incredible opening show of Kraftwerk’s run at London’s Tate Modern (several were snapped through the 3D glasses). It was nominally the Autobahn show but quickly morphed into a greatest hits set. You can read Alexis Petridis’s review of a quite magical night here. CS
