"Gleaux"

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"

some song titles have a kinda kate bush vibe

i know this is a big statement but HOUNDS OF FUCKING LOVE is seriously a comparison point for the...grandeur of this thing

"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.

the tracklisting's been out for months hasn't it? i feel like we've all lolled at "warfaire" before

that's the first it's been posted itt

wait till blackheart's "heartillery"

oh god, you weren't joking

WTF

heartillery!!!!! of course

btw if any of the writers itt want to hear the album they should probably just contact http://www.asa-pr.com/about.html about it, i'm sure they'd love to hear from you

"hi, I write for ILX, I would love to hear this album"

otm

think i can already hear 'goliath' in my head

he is my david, love is his slingshot, s on my chest yada yada

I had a dream I was in a real life version of Mario Kart. I was racing against Mary J. Blige, Prince & Frankie (Keyshia's mom)

I just remember MJB power was those chicken sandwiches from Burger King. I wish I was making this up.

@mastamoore89 they would surround her car like the green/red shells.

I do wonder why she didn't go with Lionheart

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

86' 87' 88' hut

xp is that really any way to talk about aubrey o'day

think i can already hear 'goliath' in my head

more like "i face the beast with my bare hands" type stuff

"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. "

:)

is new orleans on the record tho? she said the remix is a la Save Me From U and SMFU (Remix)

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.

otm

she's dropped a mix of album snippets if ppl are into that sort of thing

https://soundcloud.com/dawn_richard/dawn-richard-goldenheart-album

kinda had perpetual chills for 20 minutes, this sounds so fucking next level

oh sweet is the release date still next week? for some reason i was starting to lose hope and think there was another delay

kinda hesitating to listen to a 20 min preview, shall i just wait and savour for once in my life

yes, stand with me and wait. fuck a preview, that's the motto.

nigga #fap

djp will you hit me if i say "are there enough ilx posters for that?"

lol

that's what I get for making a bad Drake joke

well really you were just finishing the bad joke i started

dawn no matter how much I love you I'm not gonna buy your steampunk sunglasses

so am i going to be able to buy this album in 2 hours? wild

[dons helmet, straps up bow & arrow, makes tea, presses play]

oh man appropriate intro or what

hello phil collins

all these little flutes and shit

i can totally see the dwarves feasting and merrymaking around the pre battle campfire

Works for me, then.

haha can't wait to hear this

Dawn Dick did it again

why did rtc stop, i was looking fwd to that liveblog

he died with 5 seconds left in the intro, RIP

"riot" and "in your eyes" work so well as the album's two big, banging peaks; "northern lights" blows my mind the most (swear this needs to be the big single this year, that fucking beat and those fucking vox), "frequency" is gorgeously voluptuous in that "vibrate" kinda style, pretty much every beat in the first half (before it winds down into balladry) is stunning, and i have a huge soft spot for how ludicrously OTT "300" is with the fantasy imagery (has anyone itt actually seen the film 300?)

heh somewhat shamefully i took recourse to pad & pen

xp: i tried once. i was watching it at a friend's place and he turned it off cos i was making fun of it too much. true story.

anyway, this is pretty great so far! frequency is beautiful.

i need to figure out how i feel about these 'rock' drum sounds (tug of war, ode to you)

The production is stunning, maybe even more so than Armor On, but the songwriting is seriously spotty. With the constant stream of "prepare for battle"/"I gave all I can"/"I'm gonna break down these walls"/"see my scars"/"you did this to me" messaging it's like she's just stealing Linkin Park lyrics
