I've waited and I can't wait any more; I'm starting a thread about Niki & The Dove.

It will almost feel like cheating when this ends up being my favorite album of the year in December, because I've been listening to more than half of it in 2010 and 2011—but thems the breaks. It's perfect. I wouldn't change a single thing about it.

This is still the case, btw. Nothing has come anywhere near knocking this one off the roost.

Judging by the remixes, I wouldn't mind if NatD had picked a bit harder/more aggressive/dancier line on the album, but then again we have Battlekat etc. for that.

God, I hate teasers! But in this case, it's successful in getting me HYPE!

This song is sick AF.

Love it. I hope this means there's possibly a new full-length on the horizon.

Chantilly Bass, Friday, 23 October 2015 17:53 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, I hope they're not on the same schedule they were on with the first one where there's a single every 6 months, then an ep, THEN the album sometime in 2017.

I'm going to trust Play It on My Radio is more of an indicator of its quality than that warmed over boring-ass album cover is.

(tbh, this is my most anticipated album of the year now that the KING record is already out there.)

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 29 January 2016 02:29 (eight years ago) link

"Play It On My Radio" is so good.

So Much It Hurts premiered on Popjustice today

^^^^ that one is superb!

two months pass...

There's apparently a delay in the album being available outside of Sweden at the moment, but*cough*itsonsoulseek*cough*

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 12 April 2016 02:38 (eight years ago) link

So this is quite a bit different from the initial singles/first album, but very much in line with the two songs that came out in the last few months. Again, they're really good and utilizing 80s sounds and atmosphere without turning out a bunch of pastiche pieces, but this time it's less Kate Bush/Stevie Nicks and more Italians Do It Better—which is an okay twist, because who knows when those Chromatics and Glass Candy albums are ever going to come out.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 12 April 2016 02:58 (eight years ago) link

This is an extraordinary album imo. The ballads are some of the best Prince approximations I've heard in a while.

art baengels (monotony), Thursday, 14 April 2016 04:57 (eight years ago) link

I'm not really getting an IDIB vibe on first impressions but I'm really enjoying this. It was the right move to tone down the bombastic production as her voice is strong enough on its own and it felt a little overblown at times on the debut. I wish the big ballads were right at the end of the album though, the pacing is a bit off.

Yeah, after I wrote that I made a dumb face when reading it back. Maybe I was just thinking of the overall "slow-burn" nature of the record.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 14 April 2016 13:15 (eight years ago) link

wow this is great.

prince vibes prob even more striking given the timing of release.

dc, Friday, 22 April 2016 17:01 (eight years ago) link

This new album is fantastic. Feels like a big step up from the debut.

this has been my go-to summer jam. even the b-sides from the deluxe version are rockin.

KevRus, Saturday, 16 July 2016 04:33 (seven years ago) link

four weeks pass...

I love this album so much and at times it makes me extremely emotional. "brand new", "everybody wants to be you", "ode to dancefloor", & "you want the sun" are all such magnificent songs

art baengels (monotony), Saturday, 13 August 2016 00:06 (seven years ago) link

yeah this has crept on me as a recent favourite in a big way

boxedjoy, Saturday, 13 August 2016 09:45 (seven years ago) link

four months pass...

"Coconut Kiss" is such a jam. "Lost UB" and "You want the sun" also top drawer.

was the last one underrated? seems to be

tinnitus the night (Ross), Wednesday, 28 March 2018 21:57 (six years ago) link

yeah it was great despite getting very little attention

ufo, Wednesday, 28 March 2018 22:27 (six years ago) link

it's one of my favourite albums of the decade!

monotony, Wednesday, 28 March 2018 22:42 (six years ago) link

first five tracks on it would make for the greatest EP of all time and the way I feel about "Play It On My Radio", it's probably the most powerful song I've ever heard about my relation to pop and growing older

boxedjoy, Thursday, 29 March 2018 09:20 (six years ago) link

Ode To The Dancefloor is such a great closer
