I'm the guy with the lights - and yes, I do have a kid 😉 Great episode! Thanks for mentioning me in the links.

[@mylarmelodies]

Ah thanks for checking this out! Yeah I’m defo gonna get on the Teletype train at some point, reckon I’ll build a Pusherman one. Then I’ll be knocking on your door for inspiration 😜

[@kauwgomboom]

@@mylarmelodiesyou’ll love it once you get into it, it would be a monster sequencer for you live dance systems! And not only did Attowatt make the lights blink, they designed a wonderful module that makes Teletype spit out MIDI :)

[@Frisqo]

One of my absolute favourite bands, thanks for the interview 🖤

[@midierror]

E.E brought me here. ...Think I might stay. It's so nice to hear bright people going a little bit deeper without any ego bullsh*t. Thank you.

[@synthmage00]

Crossover event of the century! It's super exciting to see one of my all time favorite bands on this channel! Ace Edit, now that I've heard the whole episode: Alex's description of how he processes the guitars through the modular has helped me pick out *tons* more guitar stuff in their recent albums that I had never noticed before. They blend everything (everything) together so masterfully that it's very difficult to tell sometimes where the electronics end and the organic elements begin. I've got a whole new appreciation for this band that I already loved very intensely. A really wonderful episode, Mr. Mylar!

[@lesliemakin]

I’m giving a 👍 for Signal Sounds. Great friendly service and also a great shop to visit if you’re in Glasgow - lots of old synths you can look at plus lots of new synths you can play with.

[@AllTheNuttyBits]

Ngl wanna hear Reggae Hapsburg Lippp

[@mell144]

Nice work! I caught them in Liverpool on Monday night and I can confirm Pete keeps himself busy!

[@jebhardwick]

I've been hoping for a deep dive with these guys for a while, rather than the press junket interviews. They're one of the most exciting bands around for my money. Thanks buddy!

[@soundforce_nicolas]

Stoked for this one!!

[@joebelham7378]

We HAVE to hear the reggae Hapsburg Lippp 🙏

[@richsadler2661]

Loved this, thanks!

[@hybridalienrob]

Great interview! Thanks

[@ellaaa1498]

These guys are just fabulous, thanks for interviewing them 🖤

[@ellaaa1498]

Also thank you for mentioning TV dog, that’s one of my favourite songs from the album. 👍

[@mod.3x]

OMG i didn't expect a collab like this :D awesome!

[@mod.3x]

did't even know the guys were bleepers haha

[@browe]

What a fantastic band! Every album has delivered a pressure wave of awesome.

[@hailcedar]

well they certainly still know how to play Photoshop handsome, wasn't expecting it at the MH tour but a welcome surprise! I would kill to see Suffragette Suffragette live

[@ScarKord]

Cracking interview. Made me both incredibly happy and sad at the same time. Happy because it introduced me to Everything Everything. Sad because I hadn't discovered them sooner! I must have been living under a rock!

[@mylarmelodies]

Love it!!

[@ScarKord]

Two weeks on, I now own all the albums and am currently on my way to see them at the Troxy tonight! Thanks again 😀

[@mylarmelodies]

Ha amazing - and good venue, used to live in Whitechapel!! Give the band a wave from me pls x

[@808sos7]

We want reggae Hapsburg Lippp!

[@philip6252]

You absolutely can set warp to off by default. I know because it’s a bad default and I changed it.

[@compucorder64]

As well as very electronic leaning bands, I reckon most people who are focused on pretty heavy electronic music that are looking for bands they might like would get on well at the extreme end of the spectrum too. Noise, Industrial, Doom, Stoner etc. Because it's all about the texture, mood, groove, and often sheer sound pressure. More recently, thinking of things like Boris - Pink, Earth - Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I&II, Swans, Sunn o))), Sleep. Then older things, going back to Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, DAF and so many others.

[@mylarmelodies]

Great shouts these thanks for the reccs!! And I actually saw Sunn o))) play once and the experience will stay with me forever 🫨

[@compucorder64]

@@mylarmelodiesNo worries. There's some weird and wonderful music about in the UK scene too. Freak / psych folk can be great. Cornwall's own Daisy Rickman's album Donsya a'n Loryow is great. Stoner metal albums like Sleep - Dopesmoker. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone is very cool. Earth. Then psych music can be interesting, like Hermanos Gutiérrez - Sonido Cósmico. a supremely funky and hypnotic psychedelic guitar duo. The tone / texture is really nice and those brothers lock so well into a groove together. If you like Sunn 0))) and Swans, there's an incredible folk band from Dublin called Lankum that are one of the best around. Drones and tragi-doom folk. Melvins are great too. Viagra Boys are pretty unhinged too. They're series of Shrimp Session videos, like #3 are awesome performances, and videos like 16 Wheeler Horse, which remind me of Alan Vega's Suicide.

[@TheNimasan]

alex i would die to see thom yorke on why we bleep. i know you can do it......come on alex for my sake brother. love you! ps: j.greenwood were great as well

[@JamesBernardohk]

great listen after having the new album on all week! seems a lot more bands using Ableton these-days. King Gizzard pumping out mountains of music via Ableton!

[@alwysgreen1781]

its just the best ad ever

[@signal-sounds]

NICE!

[@MrNamaikisaru]

Sesame Street? Sesame Street!? Animal was from the muppet show. If you were a newspaper Mr Mylar melodies I would have written an angry letter demanding that you print a retraction.

[@mylarmelodies]

I read this whole thing in the voice of Statler & Waldorf 😂

[@MrNamaikisaru]

@@mylarmelodies very good. You are forgiven.

[@tylerapsley7298]

Release reggae hapsburg lip lol

This guy asks such interesting questions, but has no confidence asking them. Stop stressing :)
