Going back a bit, but I thought we talked about Sisu on this thread, but I guess not - I liked this song but never got around to hearing morehttps://thisisthatsong.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/12-13-13-harpoons-by-sisu/

Man I wish I wasn't a year behind on the shambhala thread. I need a weekend to zip through the '15 thread!

I take back what I said upthread. The song X-Communicate is fantastic.

So this Kristin Kontrol album is a motherfucking scorcher!

As a pretty big Dee Dee fan I hope it grows on me a bit more. Lots to love overall but some of it feels a little too generic/anonymous pop to me . . . e.g. parts of Wannabe, Skin Shed, Going Thru the Motions. I'm only like three listens in though and I suspect it'll sound better on the speakers in the living room this weekend then it has on my sleepy morning train commute. Wish I could've caught her DJ set last night but plan to see one or two of her shows next month.
She hasn't actually announced the dissolution of Dum Dum Girls, has she? Interview in Hollywood Reporter this week said that she "announced in January her departure from the band to focus on her solo project" but I don't think I'd read that anywhere else and am hoping it's just a misinterpretation of what she said. Haven't checked my iTunes stats but I wouldn't be surprised if Too True was my most played album over the last two years.

Isn't she the Billy Corgan of DDG?

DDG was mostly her yeah at least until the last album. I don't think she announced her 'departure from the band' she just said there was different sorts of music she felt like making and it didn't fit into the DDG ethos.

as for the Kristin Kontrol album: I'm not feeling it at all and I like absolutely everything else she's done. It's not that I disagree with the approach, I just think the songs aren't very interesting or strong musically, or at worst they are bad (Skin Shed).

There's some good stuff on the album, I was just expecting way more based on how much I loved the first single.

i like the few kristin kontrol tracks i've heard. everyone needs to break out the synths at some point or other in their career.
