recorded version of "a change of heart" completely justifies me comparing it to "say hello wave goodbye" upthread

if "she's american" is "settle down pt. 2" the production goes harder

ok one thing i know blue nile and scritti politti were thrown around as referents from the beginning of this thread but they are REALLY embodied here, "please be naked" is like a lost hats instrumental
ok that's it i'm shutting up now

i mean i don't want to overhype this or anything but this is above and beyond the debut in every considerable way, and it properly absorbs the eps into its texture

I recall a year ago, they said something about possibly sampling D'Angelo on the album. Is there any traces of that?
― MarkoP, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 19:42 (eight years ago) link
<spoiler> i mean "if i believe you" SOUNDS like d'angelo (w/ gospel choir) </spoiler>

This album is going to cause mass fatalities on ILX I fear.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 21:07 (eight years ago) link
"she's american" is basically the only song that resembles the debut, other than the few moments i'm reminded of "menswear"

i mean cool if they go all gooey but i hope there some songs with big, prominent drums on this album as that was one of my favourite features of the first one (see: "the city", "talk", "heart out")
― art baengels (monotony), Thursday, 18 February 2016 04:47 (eight years ago) link
it is way less of a thing on this record (in fact you've prob heard most of the songs with enormous drums) but they're there on "she's american" and "the ballad of me & my brain"
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 February 2016 14:37 (eight years ago) link
Tango In The Night is a really big record for us as well, by Fleetwood Mac. That really inspired this record. Yeah, Scritti Polliti. Alexander O’Neal, funnily enough, was a big part of this record; we love that album Hearsay. Michael and Janet Jackson too.

Off topic a bit, but just listened to M83's "Graveyard Girl" for the first time in probably a few years and noticed how strikingly similar the verses are to those in "Milk".
― art baengels (monotony), Friday, 19 February 2016 06:27 (eight years ago) link
This is a great record and I hope it's huge.
