feel like nancy whang is weirdly unheralded

ooh yeah i am liking the sound of this album
― jaymc, Friday, 12 September 2014 06:28 (nine years ago) link
whoa, "charlotte"!
― jaymc, Friday, 12 September 2014 06:37 (nine years ago) link
ha the retro typeface on the album cover reminds me of the one on the lena dunham memoir.
― jaymc, Friday, 12 September 2014 06:38 (nine years ago) link
i dunno, her unheralding seems pretty pedestrian to me

Really great and solid throughout with APCS the obvious standout. Love A Simple Design right now.Even Love Stops Here and Charlotte are more or less listenable, although I would prefer a vinyl special release with just the Whang-tracks.
It's on Spotify, btw.

Can't find the whole album on Spotify. Can you link to it?

The NYT is still streaming the album.

Love Stops Here is my fav. track that Juan has sung. His tone is just right. This is a beautiful album.

Does Peter Hook get a commission when DFA bands rip him off?

This album is fantastic.
― Kitchen Person, Saturday, 13 September 2014 20:24 (nine years ago) link
album is fantastic. i don’t understand why he doesn’t get more club play. this album is full of bangers (e.g. charlotte is so so so perfect).

i was in berlin when white labels of happy house just started circulating and heard it 0 times. still mad.
― Allen (etaeoe), Saturday, 13 September 2014 20:29 (nine years ago) link
when germans asked “what are americans digging?” and i responded with “JUAN MACLEAN!” they just shrugged and talked about americans not understanding polka techno.

Just got back from hearing his set. Loved the new stuff that I recognized on a system! '

Def heard GMELT and "Happy House" out a lot in their time
― The Reverend, Sunday, 14 September 2014 03:25 (nine years ago) link
Haha I don't go "out" but the only time I ever heard happy house "out" was at the metro before a Hercules and love affair show in like 2009

This album u guys
― jaymc, Sunday, 14 September 2014 07:24 (nine years ago) link
oh damn, "Running Back to You" is gorgeous 80s soul music I was not prepared for this
― The Reverend, Monday, 15 September 2014 03:25 (nine years ago) link
it's like the best song the Mary Jane Girls never recorded
brotherlovesdub, did it appear in the meantime? http://open.spotify.com/album/4BGSy2PuyRofUqvcnqi8K9Inexplicably, it seems to be tagged as just 'Juan MacLean' sometimes.
― the european nikon is here (grauschleier), Monday, 15 September 2014 13:17 (nine years ago) link
Maybe it's not available on mobile? Still can't get it on my phone.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 15 September 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link
Country-specific, most probably.

big thumbs up for this album - "a simple design" is incredible.
― lex pretend, Monday, 15 September 2014 15:22 (nine years ago) link
is "charlotte" a totemic name for veteran trendy dance producers making straightforward bangers? am reminded (not sonically obv) of

I preordered so hopefully the mp3s show up soon. Need this for my commute home.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 15 September 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
Download link appeared in my inbox 3 hrs ago. All fired up and ready to go for tomorrow's commute
― willem, Monday, 15 September 2014 21:15 (nine years ago) link
Oh, I guess I had it in my inbox already. Ended up ordering both the blue vinyl and the test pressing.

Not feeling this yet cuz I don't love Nancy Whang like you guys do.

didn't like her Classixx track either

When I realize I don't like somebody, I stop listening to their music. Diff strokes and all that, I guess.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 15 September 2014 22:54 (nine years ago) link
ugh i am so psyched to get to this song

that track is good but idk dudes i'm not loving the rest yet

"Running Back to You" sounds more like a Catherine Wheel outtake, i.e. DFA stuff circa 2005.

Simple Design is fucking fantastic.

"the sun will never set on our love" is my favorite

"Love Stops Here" is a great late-era LCD Soundsystem homage/ripoff
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 20:29 (nine years ago) link
lol that bands that are on the same label and have overlapping members and have toured together and whose lead members used to be in a band together can rip one another off

Murphy was sometime soundman for 6FS, never a member afaik
― dave matthews' gland (sic), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:24 (nine years ago) link
he also produced an album but sure. it defnitely seems like they influenced eachother quite a bit regardless
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 16 September 2014 22:32 (nine years ago) link
James Murphy was in Pony same time as 6FS. I saw them in Bloomington and have their 7".

The Etienne de Crecy take on "Like An Eagle"/"Comme Un Aigle" is working a lot better than the Audiojack one.

album of the year candidate for me. simply gorgeous.
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 23:33 (nine years ago) link
Same here. I went on a trip last week and it was all I listened to for two days. Played maybe ten times and just did not get bored of it. There may be a couple of higher highs on The Future Will Come but I think I prefer this one overall.
