has everyone had enough space to appreciate how good she is?

has she quit music? she hasn't done anything in a while

The remix of Magic by The Swiss is so strong! I had never heard the original until just now, but the remix is so much better.

Good lord, how have I never made the Jem connection? She's working on a new album and it's rumoured to be leaning towards a hip-hop sound...

has she quit music? she hasn't done anything in a while

six months since last tour and you think she's quit, not that she might be recording a second solo?

She was one of the worst live performers I have ever seen. No natural charisma whatsoever.

a hip hop sound, really? has she spoken of this in interviews? i caught her UK tour 2 or 3 years ago and yep, she wasn't very good onstage then either. when did you see her, boxedjoy?

weren't there stories of her really suffering badly from stage fright ?

suspect that would account for her lack of presence, and unimpressive shows.

I saw her on US tv last year and, despite liking the album quite a bit, I found her live performance just left of terrible.

she caught a Craig Nicholls diagnosis on the road

I think the whole charisma/stage-fright thing must certainly be down to her alleged Aspergers Syndrome.

Ugh, this new album. Such a letdown after her first pretty good one.

Yeah, it's a dud. I do like Cellophane though - M83 with a stronger vocalist.

we made this! you guys might like it..

looking forward to hearing this.

the pre-release songs were good! last album was somewhat lacking imo but i'm excited to hear this one

haven't listened to ladyhawke since the first album :X

anything on this as good as back of the van?

This is a better new Tegan & Sara album than the new Tegan & Sara album.

one listen in. i really enjoyed it.
if you liked the debut, then you will like this.

Hmm. I think I'll be giving this a miss - I enjoyed one or two tracks on the debut, but not enough to keep following her work.

ah, I had totally forgotten about her !
the first album was very good : hooks and hooks and hooks !(a bit in the same category as HAIM for me : very catchy retro pop).
never got to listen to the second...

never got to listen to the second...

Skip it and move right to this one.

I just went to my local record store to buy either the new Ladyhawke or the Kristin Kontrol album. They didn't have either so I bought the Tegan & Sara album instead. I have a feeling I might end up regretting that.

this.

The second album really was terrible. Happy to hear she's back on track with the new one.

yeah, the press release implies things were not good re the time of the second album,
hence the whole folk singer blues groove,
whereas this is back to the synths,
and happy grooves.

am I the only person who really likes the second album

Newest album hasn't been reviewed too favourably (57 on metacritic), but I'm finding it a more-than-passable 2016 Sky Ferreira substitute

"the river" and "chills" are essentially the same song though

a more-than-passable 2016 Sky Ferreira substitute

So this is the bar now, eh?

Following this thread I went back to the first album and found it... average which is a surprise since I really liked it at the time.
I guess that's what ageing does to you (or to an album) !
