Dawn beating the Destroyer-Bon Iver crew at Best Instrumental Peter Gabriel Track with "86."

huh, I didn't really care for 86 (or Pretty Wicked Things) that much when I listened to them a while back, which might be the reason for slightly overrating Whiteout (agree with Matt about that "sellotaped" beat) once it clicked: relief that she wasn't heading into a direction I wasn't feeling. You all raving about 86 though means I'm going to give it another listen.

heard whiteout once, never bothered to listen to it again
86 pretty much instantly became one of my favorite things this year
― teledyldonix, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
okay 86 is really good. did anyone else notice it's followed on the album by a song called "In Your Eyes"?actually I don't the tracklist was posted here yet:
1. Intro (In The Hearts Tonight)2. Return of A Queen3. Goliath4. Riot5. Gleaux6. Northern Lights7. Pretty Wicked Things8. Frequency9. Warfaire10. Tug of War11. Ode To You12. 8613. In Your Eyes14. Break of Dawn15. [300]16. Goldenheart

ok i've heard this fully mastered now and h.o.l.y.f.u.c.k.y.e.s.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 20:14 (eleven years ago) link
i also think it was a very good idea to move "riot" right up front rather than the originally intended bonus track stuck on the end
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 20:15 (eleven years ago) link
if the world ends Friday, lex will be the only one of us who got to hear this album

"Gleaux"
― GIMME SOME REGGAE (DJP), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:04 (eleven years ago) link
i've been wanting to know this for like a decade now, but is the "-eaux" suffix to replace "-o" an actual louisiana thing, maybe referencing french heritage? back in the day on a tennis msgboard i was on, there was a significant contingent of obsessive chanda rubin fans from louisiana, and they'd all say "geaux chanda" instead of "go chanda"
i know this is a big statement but HOUNDS OF FUCKING LOVE is seriously a comparison point for the...grandeur of this thing
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:07 (eleven years ago) link
"Gleaux" is one thing but "Warfaire"??
Also "Break of Dawn" is kinda like, jeez DR don't put sub-editors out of a job, they've got mouths to feed.

I do wonder why she didn't go with Lionheart
― rob, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 23:54 (eleven years ago) link
So that she can still use "Richard The LyinHeart" on BrownHeart: A Feast For Creauxs.

I love how she's seemingly gone through these anime dork --> superhero comix dork --> fantasy dork periods of her career.

i just realized the '86 single artwork has the apostrophe after the number like 86', what a disaster
or maybe it's about her slaying an 86 foot tall dragon i guess

"I have a song called “Northern Lights” which is an ode to New Orleans. If you know anything about bounce music it’s quite interesting how we incorporated that in the record. "

It's also that the breakbeat just doesn't QUITE fit on Miles, it feels like it's been fairly awkwardly cropped to fit in with everything else. The whole execution feels slapdash basically.
I'm not really feeling the EP as a whole, the songwriting feels a bit flimsy in comparison to Armor On, it's atmospheric enough but the whole thing gives off major stopgap vibes.
