i've decided i like "sisters" though i wasn't sure what to make of it before hearing the full record
"everybody's talkin' but there's nothing to say" is chorus of the year for me

that guitar scratching through "ain't nobody," that's the sound i wanna hear all the time
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Friday, 1 June 2018 13:40 (five years ago) link
actually nm it's a synth. or both
I sort of can't believe that it's mostly the same group of folks behind this record and the debut.
― Simon H., Friday, 1 June 2018 13:47 (five years ago) link
I’ll have to hear this based on the fervour
Only song I’ve heard from her is the one that sounded like Disney (think it was the final song on her debut?) anyways her voice and the arrangement was twee to me but perhaps that was an outlier
― synonym toast crunch (Ross), Friday, 1 June 2018 14:22 (five years ago) link
this one sounds nothing like that for the most part
― Simon H., Friday, 1 June 2018 14:31 (five years ago) link
Ok I’ll take the inspiration from this thread and go walk f with this album :)
― synonym toast crunch (Ross), Friday, 1 June 2018 14:31 (five years ago) link
Never Too Late through to Ain't Nobody is a really incredible run of tracks
― ufo, Friday, 1 June 2018 14:54 (five years ago) link
The production on this thing is impeccable. Fantastic sounding album. Didn't expect to like this as much as I do.
― triggercut, Friday, 1 June 2018 15:23 (five years ago) link
Just wanna echo the chorus that this is upper echelon level dope

Surprised I haven't seen more (any?) chatter about it beyond here

As a piano player and music lover, the pfogrsssion In hot for the mountain rules me
― synonym toast crunch (Ross), Monday, 4 June 2018 21:01 (five years ago) link
Some of the backing vocals bring to mind deradoorian and Coffman from dirty projectors

the progresssion In hot for the mountain rules me
Yeah this stood out for me too - liking this album a lot on first listen
― nashwan, Saturday, 9 June 2018 13:18 (five years ago) link
This album is so good
― Slippage (Ross), Saturday, 9 June 2018 16:00 (five years ago) link
Sisters tho sucks
― Slippage (Ross), Sunday, 10 June 2018 07:36 (five years ago) link
Disagree, re sisters. This is one of the three best albums I've heard all year. And this is a very good year.
― Stanley Therapy (stevie), Sunday, 10 June 2018 13:00 (five years ago) link
This is very good. The "Your Fire"/"The Fire"/"Hot…" section is a bit ho hum, but the rest is, um, fire. Will probably buy.

Lost is so gorgeous

Only song I’ve heard from her is the one that sounded like Disney (think it was the final song on her debut?)
Yup, and I said as much as the time. I'll get around to this but something about her's always been a bit offputting, somehow.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 June 2018 18:01 (five years ago) link
That's baffling to me. There's a huge change in style between the debut and the new one, but I can't for the life of me imagine how one would find any of her music offputting. Ymmv though obv.

To clarify: I am allergic to everything remotely Disney, am just not getting it from her.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 11 June 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link
i've heard a lot of ppl compare the first album to disney soundtracks
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 11 June 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link
Madness.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 11 June 2018 18:35 (five years ago) link
She's wearing her influences on her sleeve on her debut: Joni, Mary Margaret O'Hara, symphonic film score music as a background. Sure. But the latter doesn't always equate to "Disney", people.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 11 June 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
I only heard it specifically in that last track but it was definitely the association I made on a cold first listen, having not heard anything else by her/about her before listening to the album as a whole.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 June 2018 18:50 (five years ago) link
Last track wouldn't have raised any eyebrows on the Lalaland soundtrack, in context of the album it's not as idiosyncratic imo, but I get you'd get this Disney feeling now.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 11 June 2018 18:59 (five years ago) link
anyway it doesn't carry through to the new album at all ned
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 11 June 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
Yeah, new one is like it's by someone else entirely.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 11 June 2018 19:03 (five years ago) link
Which does intrigue!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 June 2018 19:04 (five years ago) link
Yeah I love this record and I didn’t care for that Disney esque track - felt like just another Josephine foster devendra freak folk thing
― Slippage (Ross), Monday, 11 June 2018 19:26 (five years ago) link
whoa this is different from her first one

really like the video for 'the fire'
album is still one of my favourites this year
― ufo, Friday, 21 September 2018 14:17 (five years ago) link
yep, I still play it a lot even with the deluge of great new albums
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Friday, 21 September 2018 14:19 (five years ago) link
It's easily in my top 3 of the year

Saw her last night, really really great show. Don't miss this tour, please.

I got to interview her! I'm new to music journalism, so that was pretty exciting.

album definitely in my top 10

great piece Josh!

I’m actually at her Vancouver concert now, any ilx users here? She’s not on for another hour but it’s still heartbreaking how few ppl there are here
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 03:59 (five years ago) link
kinda crazy that you can release critically acclaimed albums and have a label doing promo and everything and still not necessarily fill small venues

my brother once saw Clipse, just slightly past their prime, play a Danish club in front of an audience of about 20 people

picked up this record for the first time in months and i can't believe it exists, what a rush <3

also imo i should not be getting a year-end list ready bc it's still october but for some reason websites are beholden to magazine publishing schedules
