The show tonight was great! They've really tightened up as a live act. And Georgia's stage presence is great now, she moves so confidently up there without a guitar.

They were insanely good in Philly friday night! @Osceola13 I saw they resposted someone with your username on their insta story, I think I was right behind ya! Crazy that we have another Bolts fan/chorus user in this area lol

Yeah that was me. Since they don't come to Florida (except for when I saw Georgia do a solo set at Fest years ago) I try and catch them whenever they're in Philly. Wish I'd known you were there, would've been cool to say "hey".

part of me kinda doesn’t wanna get too into it bc I feel like a lot of what I could say might be taken in the worst possible way lol, but I think there are probably some issues inherent to the band’s setup (namely, they’re a 3-piece in which the bassist is not necessarily focused on being in sync w the drums and is also using the instrument as a lead and not holding down the low end) that probably make it hard to get a great, full-sounding mix/production out of them. imo there’s just so little information in the low end that almost everything that isn’t bass or vocals end up sounding kinda thin and brittle to me. the cymbals are trashy in an unpleasant way to my ears, I felt like I had to turn it up a little louder than I usually listen to other stuff bc it felt a bit wimpy, but I had to kinda find a delicate balance with it bc if I turned it up too much it legitimately was hurting my ears in the treble frequencies (and it still wasn’t “hitting” right). there’s something about the way the drums and the bass interact that leaves a hollow space in the mix for me, it makes the drums sound almost, idk, disembodied from the rest of the mix. after this album ended, I immediately put the new Kevin Devine album on and it was an immediately stark contrast in terms of “fullness” in the sound, and the intro to the KDev record is literally just a soundscape/ambient noise.

I also think the performances could have been tighter all around, there are moments that are busy and the bass, in particular, is very active but one instrument or another feels like it is rushing or dragging so nothing feels like it lands cleanly on like the 1, and to me it just comes off messy and pulls me out of the song a bit. the title-track is one of the worst offenders in this regard for me personally, the bassline is really cool and busy but it never quite feels in time to me. now, with that said, on the more somber, slower-paced stuff a lot of these issues fall by the wayside to me. the songs with more space in them really really benefit from the breath that space gives them.

in the past I have definitely been pretty critical of this band (the bass playing in particular tbh), and probably not so much in the most productive manner, but genuinely I don’t mean to come off as hyper-critical of them here at all. I overall like the record quite a bit. I think in the future they could benefit from SOMETHING filling in that low end space. it doesn’t have to even be the bass really, Kelly clearly has her style and it obviously is a huge draw for many listeners, and I think fucking with that core element of their identity would probably be a mistake. but even if it’s just a low synth pad or some keyboard textures here and there, some atmosphere, something would be better than nothing, imo, just to round things out and fill that space. do I think it’s utterly necessary? no, they’ll likely get by without it as they have, but I do think if they keep going forward as-is I will probably always feel like something sounds “off” with their recorded material.

I have been pretty critical of the bass work in this band before, but I think it’s mostly pretty interesting here and usually melodically strong. the bass is clearly not trying to do what the bass is “supposed” to do, and I think that’s a cool dynamic! I also think busy bass work can be really really cool and enhance a song’s vibe (the new Nilüfer Yanya album for me has some great examples of this). to me, the parts are less a problem than the performances. I like when a record sounds loose and rough around the edges sometimes, but I think you have to get that equation right to not risk sounding sloppy or under-practiced. the band just doesn’t sound that tight to me here in certain spots.

Thank you for perfectly encapsulating why I don’t love these as much as I should. I love a lot of their songs but don’t like listening to them.

Georgia Maq live ep coming next month, including a cover of Regina Spektor’s Samson

Osceola13 · Nov 17, 2022

So jealous of NYC area people who will get to see Georgia play a solo set on Saturday opening for Queen of Jeans and Oceanator. What a stacked lineup.

manoverboard365 · Feb 7, 2023

Ummmmm, did they just break up???

Osceola13 · Feb 7, 2023

Welp I'm seriously bummed out now

ItsAndrew · Feb 7, 2023

Wow just came to post that

Glad I caught them twice last summer

manoverboard365 · Feb 7, 2023

I’m very lucky that I caught them live 3 times, one for each album cycle.

But anyone else think this all feels strange? Not even an official statement.

Honestly I felt the same, definitely a strange way to announce your breakup but there’s more info to come Sarah said

Noooooooo :(

manoverboard365 · Feb 7, 2023

Georgia posted a story of her FaceTiming Kelly with a caption “Everything is Fine.”

from Tomos tweet it sounds maybe business/label issues? Interesting, as the critical acclaim from RWTH made me think their next album was gonna make them huge.

loudasallgetout · Feb 7, 2023

Kelly also has a baby... so that obviously makes things hard. Still surprised by this.
