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:

No, IMO, and this coming from someone that likes "the way", "everything is embarrassing", "losing you", and "chamakay" (mostly b/c of caroline polachek)

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

war correspondent ≠ soldier iirc ;)
tbh if we're pulling irl full disclosure cards the perp had a thing with a girl i knew circa 05 so we were on passing terms for a bit... he was totally full to the absolute brim of shit but laying down more pipe than thames water as a result so can't knock the hustle i guess. (eagerly await now being told i'm butthurt because jel obv)
lol at feeling strongly enough about him either way to be throwing up wanker signs tbh, it's just just kinda ambiguous referential apologetically-shuffling-off-this-mortal-coil slop for ppl too daunted by the world to find art in it

Can we all agree that Circle, Square, Triangle by Test Icicles is still a legit 10/10 banger.

just to build on that earlier point, i mean i was gonna say this on the sky f thread but i'm p cool with having a flavour of circumspect disposable devdom as part of a balanced diet... it's a question of degrees though and if you begin to self-identify with it in an oppositional rather than complementary sense (so like believing the sky album an everlasting best of 2013 classic etc) then it does get to a pop-not-indie shambalalala type personal precious cubbyhole that requires summary clotheslining u feel me

Sometimes, because of a condition Hynes has called synesthesia, which links the senses of sight and sound in his brain, the city’s noisiness can overwhelm him, especially at crowded bars. But he likes the way the Empire State Building sounds. “It’s a G major ninth up here,” he says, scribbling that fact in a notepad.
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 16:07 (ten years ago) link
ha he sound exhausting but im happy to know hes out there doing his thing being an artist
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 16:18 (ten years ago) link
a lot of musicians do operate on synesthesiac level whether its really a condition or just an approach seeing the colors in music and so forth
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 16:20 (ten years ago) link
recall talking to this guy i knew in passing who worked at the studio where mobb deep were recording maybe hell on earth and he said they would get completely fucked up and pass out head on the mixing board then wake up and start mumbling about colors and how they could see the music and then continue recording
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 16:24 (ten years ago) link
I know synesthesia is a real thing and I'm sure it affects different people to different degrees, but the way reporters always treat it like it's OMG SO AMAZING is funny to me. Like, associating colors or tastes or textures to sounds or shapes or words is not really that hard to understand -- it's a basic tool of poetry, and even of a lot of criticism (e.g. "angular guitars"), it's a normal metaphorical way of talking about sensory experience. I'm sure it operates on a different, more instinctive level for synesthetes, but it does not blow my mind that a certain tone or chord sounds "blue" or "pink" to someone.
