They do have a very similar compressed production like M83, and a feel of that teenage omg life is awesome joy.

Just listening to Alive, Joshua's new album under the Chaim moniker.It's awesome. Some of it comes across as a less glacial Luomo, of that makes sense.

Huh? Shit you're right. Quickly scanning the RA blurb about the album mentioning bpitch and tel aviv probably set off some dyslexic association process. My bad! Great album though!

The "I Lied" video is mesmerizing. A few years ago, listened to this album every night as I went to sleep.

I didn't like this album at the time, and I'm still not sure about the vocals, but it certainly sounds like it could have been released yesterday. Prefigures the current wave of pop/r&b over pretty trap beats by a decade at least.

i didn't realize he was still recording w/out cooper - or are these older recordings released for the first time?
― Mordy, Friday, 27 September 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
incidentally immolate yourself is on my top 50 00's ballot
Brand new (haven't listened yet, except for the single, which was good)

I think the passage of time and the idea this is TTA material is the reason for a new album under that name
if you haven't checked it out, Josh Eustis has done a lot of production/remix work in the intervening years, Sons of Magdalene being a solo project and Second Woman with collaborator Turk Dietrich

TTA came across as a groovier version of Slowdive with 2002 style glitch beats, without ever sounding forced. It was a sound for the moment, to be sure. I couldn't help but wonder though if the same group of guys wouldn't have written the same exact batch of songs in 1995 using scratchy trip hop loops, and if they wouldn't be writing a similar batch of songs in 5 years using whatever new software will be available at the time.
i've never heard these guys / this cat before but i find the new one really impressive, just the opposite of this superficial modernization old timey ilm poster above is talking about.
i've sampled several elaborate indie-poppish vocal-focused albums this year and last, on the strength of their reviews, the kind of thing where they talk about how the production is so intricate and 80s inspire and &c &c &c, and it's getting tedious finding yet again that it sounds like overwritten rootless 21st c. goop
as opposed to 'dreams are not enough', which sounds like the product of an actual musical conception, perceptive ideas about sound design, and a real patience and ability to self-edit and make committed, coherent decisions when confronted with infinite studio possibilities
