Your so cool. I saw you in jail on carson daly and i just loved it.

[AWindIsRising]

I've been seeing videos and photos of this band for months now, and I still can't figure out what's in the photo on Brian's guitar.

[moogiem]

@AWindIsRising he switches them but it is often a photo of his younger brother 

[Devfogma]

does anyone know what kind of pedals he using to get that sorta dreamy sound? I hear delay but I can't quite figure what else is involved...

[aaecinos]

he's using a boss delay, probably a dd-6 or dd-7, a boss chorus (i think) (it's that light blue pedal at :11)

a black russian muff

and definitely loads of reverb (don't know what pedal specifically though)

[recklesswombat]

Thanks for posting these videos, they're great! Can't wait to see these guys live next week.

[killfrankenstein]

its a soviet big muff

[Sixandsixandsix]

anyone know which fuzz pedal he's using in gigs?

[xthepapersaintx]

Listen closely its obviously a big muff, hes got diff pickups tho than the stock ones.

[thefirstteen]

@xthepapersaintx there is a distinct possibility it could be something from death by audio. a lot of different fuzzes can get that muffy sound. he probably uses a whole bunch of different fuzzes

[aaecinos]

he uses a black russian muff, you can see it on his pedalboard

Profoundly beautiful, on "Post-Nothing" it crackles with energy, here it swirls around like a My Bloody Valentine interlude. Deserves more than 755 hits, and please, please, please come and play in the Netherlands soon.

[flowers321]

@siian I agree.Kevin Shields and Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie would be proud.These dudes are heavily talented!

[Dorchester155]

in these more mellow versions of their songs, he sound so much like ben gibbard

[hammer231984]

Saw these guys a few weeks ago in Montreal. They rock out, and they are from where I'm from. So good luck

[edwardiansnow]
