Todd Terje: "Snooze 4 Love" (masterpiece alert)

has this leaked? i can't find it

nope

http://hasitleaked.com/2014/todd-terje-its-album-time/

artist of the century imo

^_^

I don't even want to hear this until spring is in the air.

Listening to the album for the first time and the track with Bryan Ferry is giving me chills.

Is this out there now?

depressing thread title

plz 2 start another one! still believe and like the terje

You have the power to make it so

i know but i don't follow music that much, i feel a better terje fan should do it. feels more right.

@ kitchen person I think it leaked at like 128 or something

ha this album did not have the staying power i thought it would when i was enthusiastic upthread. it's fine, i guess, it's not special like terje can be/has been

yeah its good but idk not blowing me away. i do really love the ferry cover

yeah i hate bryan ferry, tory cunt with a terrible voice, that one was the dud from the off

haha i don't get the ferry track at all

this album is cool it also suffers a bit from the best tracks being old

Agreed. "Norse" just doesn't work as an album-capping climax when it's been around for years now. Nor does "Strandbar" work as well pared down to 4 minutes.

That said, first listen was pretty great.

yeah i hate bryan ferry, tory cunt with a terrible voice,

lol

Inspector Norse always works FYI

welp it's probably good that everyone's lukewarm on this now, my expectations were sorta getting impossibly high

I knew I should've waited until temps reached the 60s before listening to it.

Same reaction here. Just beautiful.

As someone who also had impossibly high expectations for this, I was not disappointed in the slightest. It's just so much fun all the way through. Can't wait to play it when it gets nicer out.

I really can't be doing with the corny white tuxedo lounge wibbling in the first third of this, even though I was expecting it from the second I saw the cover.

I like this album but could have done without the Bryan Ferry song.

is "Oh Joy" the unanimous clear standout here?

this rules

is "Oh Joy" the unanimous clear standout here?

assumed of the non-singles it'd be "delorean dynamite", which i've already heard on the radio and seen in track lists

though agreeing with matt dc for the most part now

I like it quite a bit from Strandbar onwards, fwiw, but it feels frustratingly lopsided as a single listen.

Oh Joy is def not the standout for me.

I love the first set of tracks. They have a total Rinder & Lewis feel to them.

"Oh Joy" hasn't really grown on me yet.

That's a really great comparison. I was trying to put my finger on who they reminded me of but all I could come up with was Sebastien Tellier in his most playful mode.

damn how cool would a Tellier/Terje collab LP be

cooler than the other side of the pillow

I really love the first part too. "Preben Goes to Acapulco" reminds me of Zeus B. Held a little bit.

forcing myself not to listen to this until my LP shows up but I am stupidly excited for this album

-___- not happy about this cover but I don't think I could ever be happy about a cover of this perfect song

How about that husk.

Who, Ferry's? He's amazing I mean it's a great cover but the wiriness of the original, the cold delivery

it's album time

I interviewed Todd the other week. Highlights included him telling me that the only reason any man DJs is to "make the ladies wet"

I guess the possibility of him being on my team was too good to be true, and sort of tricky since I'm convinced he's actually a distant relative.

The husk in Ferrys voice is really shocking to me. There's a geriatric buzz, the way WS Burroughs voice would appear in 80s avant music, and it was weird to hear an old man in a modern landscape. I couldn't believe this was Ferry at first- I haven't heard any recent singing from him, and wonder if the Jazz Age was intentionally instrumental because of the change in his tone. Or is he affecting something here?

It's just a really understated and hushed vocal from Ferry, not the kind of thing he typically does.

He's lost a lot of range -- it's rasped and gotten more epicene with age -- but as recently as 2010 he didn't sound like this.

When does this album actually come out?
