My liner notes of After Dark 2 say that "The Magician" was co-written by Mike & Johnny and performed by Mike.

hasn't simonetti dicked over a bunch of people in the past? why's everyone w/ this label an asshole? i was disappointed with after dark 2 and i've all but lost complete interest since the chromatics album is never coming out

Still waiting for another Desire album, that track on After Dark 2 was so so excellent

Still waiting for Dear Tommy and the Glass Candy album. I'd welcome a new Desire album but I'm not sure that's even on the cards is it? They've been hinting at new Chromatics and Glass Candy for years now.

Back in December 2014, Chromatics announced their new album Dear Tommy. Although they shared multiple songs from the record, the album never surfaced. Recently, nearly all of those songs were removed from the internet. Now, in a string of tweets, Johnny Jewel’s manager Alexis Rivera has revealed what happened to Dear Tommy. “Christmas day 2015, Johnny almost died in Hawaii,” Rivera wrote on Twitter. “When he came back home to California he destroyed all copies of Tommy. 15K CDs & 10K vinyl in the Italians warehouse in Glendale, all gone.” So yeah, those broken copies of Dear Tommy in that promotional “Twin Peaks” photo were just a few of the thousands of copies that got demolished.

Anticipating this album so much
― Carlotta's Portrait (Ross), Thursday, 4 May 2017 05:33 (seven years ago) link
The new Air France commercial is awful. It ruins Warm In The Winter, which is probably my alltime favorite song from this whole label. And it runs about 2000 times a day. That's good for Glass Candy and Johnny Jewel's wallet no doubt, but geez couldn't they have come up with something better than "France in the air"?
― kornrulez6969, Monday, September 28, 2015 1:41 PM (two years ago)
ha I hadn't heard this song until flying air france this summer & now the song is a big hit chez nous. haven't heard it outside flights/home though.

Seems like someone else heard the Air France commercials ...

Dear Tommy slowly becoming a "sequel to Loveless" type album.

Windswept is really great. Some kind of Barry Adamson shit. Kind of him to recreate the winky’s diner scene from mulholland drive

^ this is great stuff. not really the sound i'd usually associate with IDIB, makes me think of julia holter, colleen, nico
― i'm surprised to see your screwface at the door (NickB), Saturday, 12 May 2018 06:53 (six years ago) link
I was gonna say, that Tess Roby is really good and far too short. I love the stridency of her voice.
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 12 May 2018 09:10 (six years ago) link
Probably should get the tess album

Is it really industrial ?
― Blood roses (Ross), Saturday, 12 May 2018 13:29 (six years ago) link
not at all industrial, more of a folky indie electronic thing

only just seen nico on that list, there's definitely a similarity in their voices

Windswept is so good. Anyone care to recommend another album that is solid “fake soundtrack” music. Barry Adamson comes to mind but I’m drawing blanks

Tess tony record really grew on me
― Slippage (Ross), Thursday, 7 June 2018 17:51 (six years ago) link
lol tess tony xpost, sheesh
tess roby record is pretty cool - sort of like nico mashed with early nite jewel, with a more victorian twist/more guitars
― Ross, Wednesday, 29 August 2018 01:23 (five years ago) link
i am really loving the Tess Roby album, it's perfect sunset music. it's bringing to mind Hannah Peel's Awake But Always Dreaming, Kate Bush's A Sky of Honey, and Emeralds' Does It Look Like I'm Here? which are all favourites
― ufo, Friday, 31 August 2018 06:43 (five years ago) link
minor regret from this year is hearing the tess roby album immediately after she played a show
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 31 August 2018 14:49 (five years ago) link
just re-ripping my IDIB cd collection and listening to the 'music to drive' compilation.feeling the urge to dive back in and pick up the more recent stuff, but from their website other than the soundtrack stuff by johnny, i dont think i have missed out on that much actually.seems to be mainly the tess roby/twisted wires/jorah chalmers releases.or is there something i have missed via their hard work website?
― mark e, Sunday, 11 August 2019 18:47 (four years ago) link
yeah I think there's been a bit of a lull since Twin Peaks. Maybe they're saving their time and energy for Dear Tommy which they claimed several times was coming this year.
