I haven't heard Blood Orange but I am arrandbey kru and I have nothing against this guy other than that terrible Solange song. I haven't really followed him that closely (never heard Test Icicles or Lightspeed Champion) tbh. This is one of my fave songs this year and he was involved:

yeah it's kinda meant to be suggestive of this bleary, droning, numbed torpid mumblecore inarticulacy indicating longing and heartache beyond words or whatever. simple is real cos of ~how hard it is to feel things~, to be decisive and put a fine point on it is too painful if not even by implication dishonest. the whole thing's of a piece, you got the washed out instagrammed visuals, the 80s comfort blanket for the emotional foetal position... blah blah the familiar prepack set of lies agreed upon
it's all v boring

like most of his albums i feel like the last one features a few really strong songs interspersed with lots of texture and contextual production vibes. always feels a bit uneven, although i really dig the sounds and spaces he creates with them

i found most of those hooks to be p tepid at best & annoyingly condensed at worst (like, that crj song) so i prefer his songwriting stretched out as it is on the new one. still not totally converted yet but
― lowercase (eric), Tuesday, 13 November 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link

also this is otm
yeah i think it earns its digressiony qualities bc the swirls of melody and structure that appear and disappear are, individually, pretty much always commanding and interesting. (imo, again, i found his previous two solo records, despite having more strictly bound "songs," far less imaginative.) it's a pretty filmic record, tracks run into each other like a cut or dissolve between frames. he's less hemmed in rhythmically here too
