i'll give you that. xiu xiu and frog eyes are mainly incomparable.
i guess i was thinking of the "sound" more along the lines of interpol, the walkmen, type of stuff. All this reverb produced stuff that is out.
in any event, i have bought every album brand new of above mentioned artists.

I take back what i said previously.. you cannot really compare Frog Eyes to interpol or the walkmen. the more and more i listen, the more i dig the new album. sorry for being an ignorant critical jerk. frog eyes is pretty damn important.

Frog Eyes are fun. Not as good as Xiu Xiu in terms of emotional depth. Not as good songwriting. You can really only compare the two from the similar yelping sometimes.

Frog Eyes=Xiu Xiu
They're both from the West Coast and they have that thing, you know... lots of chords... always melodic... like the way Black Flag could never be from NYC and Television could never be from LA.
They're equal in that they're both entirely separate from any other school of "rock" music-making.
And their fans are the same... except people who only like Xiu Xiu to crush on Jamie, which is cool, but Carey's pretty sexy too... like a big raspberry sponge cake is sexy.
The only difference I can think of is that "A Promise" is the greatest album ever made... and Frog Eyes haven't made that album yet. It'll happen.
Oh. BY THE WAY! This part's important:
Frog Eyes are perhaps on the verge of breaking up because (according to Mike the bassist) the turnouts on their latest tour were staggeringly underwhelming.
Which sucks because they DO put on the greatest shows. Better than Arcade Fire? Yes... but only barely.
So don't fuck it up next time, k?
