spin loved that album, they put it in their 90 albums of the 90's list and said it was a link between john fahey and wilco, or something to thast effect.

atsonicpark · 07.30.2008, 10:57 PM

hahaha.

The line between John Fahey and Wilco is Jim O'Rourke.

Everyneurotic · 07.30.2008, 11:34 PM

of course it was a moronic thing to say, but it's spin afterall.

I think a thousand leaves is like a more mature version of bad moon rising.

You know, Mark Prindle said something to that effect in his review for it, but I just don't hear it at all. They couldn't sound more opposite to my ears.

atsonicpark · 07.31.2008, 12:02 AM

they just both sound very autumny to me.

atsonicpark · 07.31.2008, 12:03 AM

"hoarfrost" and "intro" for example.. both have very cold distant but lovely chiming notes.. haha. I dunno. I just get a similiar somewhat dark detached vibe from both albums.

07.31.2008, 03:14 AM

still one of my favourites. murray street on top, after that 1kleaves, DDN, NYG&F, Sister are constantly fighting agaist each other

SonicBebs · 07.31.2008, 04:18 AM

"i'll start a thread and talk about 1000 Leaves"
cause its fucking awsome

greedrex · 07.31.2008, 04:32 AM

Hmm, interesting. I always related Bad Moon Rising and NYC Ghosts & Flowers, because they both have that nocturnal atmosphere... but I also always related NYC Ghosts & Flowers and A Thousand Leaves, so I guess you may be right

SonicBebs · 07.31.2008, 06:58 AM

ATL and NYCGAF got it on and had baby Murray St and Baby Nurse. Then ATL played away and ended up with RR

silly ATL

noisereductions · 07.31.2008, 07:07 AM

I wasn't aware that they stopped making amazing records.

My only problem with ATL is the vocals. I've never felt they sit quite right in the mix. But the songs are great.

whorefrost · 08.02.2008, 07:24 PM

I genuinely think this may be thee quintessential SY record. first one I ever got (Christimas 98, present from my aunt)
have since acquired the luscious double wax edition.

jennthebenn · 08.02.2008, 08:02 PM

fucking hell, i should be able to give whorefrost rep whenever i damn well
please.

A Thousand Leaves=impeccable

ahh very good observation, I see the connection.

I still don't enjoy ATL though hah. Well, it's alright, I'm just not into the bulk of the tracks.

diskaholic-anonymous · 08.03.2008, 04:21 AM

i love the delicate balance between the melodic noise and the
"fragile" structure of their songs.

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.03.2008, 05:57 AM

its a damn fine record... love it.

greedrex · 08.03.2008, 06:51 AM

i third the autumny vibe

absolutely
