Seems unlikely they would have seen the EitS cover. Most likely, both bands just stumbled across the same stock image/weird, cheesy painting and thought it would make a good album cover. In any case, I’d personally take two bars from Nudge over EitS’s entire recorded output. As Good as Gone was the best album of 2009 and it demands to be purchased – on vinyl.

If their covers are that unoriginal, I’m not inclined to download the music. Sorry for the late response – I only just discovered this blog.

Seriously, though: (a) Since writing the previous U.S. post-rock post, I’ve been in awe of how beautiful Labradford’s A Stable Reference still sounds and (b) I honestly think Nudge’s record might be the album of the year – certainly it’s the one I’ve listened to most compulsively.

Admittedly, I’m probably the only person who’s ever described the Nudge record as”post-rock” but the similarities with Papa Sprain are really quite striking – especially Brian Foote’s vocals. This has too be a coincidence, doesn’t it? He couldn’t possibly have heard of Papa Sprain, could he?
