i need to check this out
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 16 April 2009 09:20 (fifteen years ago) link
It's only available on vinyl, right? I love all the IDIB stuff (a lot) but this one hasn't appeared for sale on iTunes or eMusic or anything. I have heard one song on a sampler and it was really, really great. Can't get enough haunting icy horror movie soundtrack-y stuff.

i think i like "universal mind" much better than everything else on here, and sonically it's quite an outlier. the rest is there but doesnt do much for me
― europeen handball (k3vin k.), Thursday, 16 April 2009 15:18 (fifteen years ago) link
its available on CD too! or it was--may be sold out. mike had it at the italians store for a while. the album is actually out on human ear (vinyl) and gloriette (cd), not italians... she just has done a couple 12" w/ them, plus opened for glass candy a couple times.

still waiting on "want you back" 12" on idib. i will flatly not hear most of this summer's best songs but it is the kind of thing i want to christen THIS SUMMER'S SUMMEREST JAM.
lp is a real grower. the lover cover used to fade by but its slink has swayed me.

the album is actually out on human ear (vinyl) and gloriette (cd), not italians...
aha... looks like it's the reverse: Human Ear has the CD, but it's still listed as a "pre-order" (even though the release date is listed as December 25th, 2008). It's $12. The vinyl on Gloriette is sold out. Another Google link showed there was some other CD-R thing (different from the album) sold exclusively through the Other Music site last year, but that's all gone.
Is it not really worth it, money-wise, for small labels like IDIB/Gloriette/Human Ear to sell stuff digitally? Or why else wouldn't they?
Mike was putting the IDIB stuff on iTunes for a while, but the newest ones (Bottin, Nite Jewel, Twisted Wires) haven't shown up on there.

whoops yeah, youre right
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Thursday, 16 April 2009 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link
the CD-R that was other music only is mostly stuff that ended up on good evening i think
in one form or another
yeah I think "Good Evening" = "My CD" (the cdr thing) plus some bonus tracks off her 12"s

― Spinspin Sugah, Friday, 31 July 2009 20:21 (fifteen years ago) link
still haven't heard the album but the first 12" has been played all year since i got in like november i think. really good. i see it as a dark and moody take on all those great sassy female vocalled west end tracks like "another man"
is she good live? playing over here in august

― Spinspin Sugah, Sunday, 16 August 2009 05:18 (fifteen years ago) link
ha, no. the album does have some weakish tracks, but they don't bother me in the context of the album. but "want you back" is peak material. it's not afraid of itself.

Can't stop listening to Want You Back
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 27 August 2009 22:27 (fifteen years ago) link
that "artificial intelligence" song upthread is really nice. the synths are very nostalgic to me. they remind me of joe jackson or something. or like 80s yes.

Love this. Heard from folks who saw her in London that it was a bit dull live, but I guess I can see it might. Great stuff though.

I had high hopes for this but my goodness, is this ever the wrong end of the 80s for me
I do like the hook on the chorus, though, when her voice comes in and it's all pretty
it just reminds me of the "nightclub" scene in so many cop operas on telly in the late 80s

I assumed Nite-Funk as a one-off as well, but this news of a whole album is the kind of shit that gets me excited.

There is going to be a Nite Jewel thread on the roof of a building in my town in a couple of weeks and I'm pretty stoked.I just hope it gets some promotional help, or that the right few people tell their friends about it. It's the kind of event that could easily fly under the radar.

I went to see her last week because it was only £7 and I thought that seemed like a decent deal. I had forgotten just how many truly great songs she's made over the years and it was brilliant, her live voice was flawless.

ultra lush, from the "Obsession" EP - which is a perfect transitional record from "Liquid Cool" to "Real High". EP starts with the title track from the newest and is book-ended by "Real Low", an instrumental version with more pronounced surface noise and an extended outro. Whole EP feels like a come-down and falls more in line with the nite-funk feel. PM me if you're interested

First para of the press release
In 2018, Gonzalez’s twelve year marriage dissolved. This left her alone and displaced, drifting from friend’s couch to friend’s couch. At the same time, she began her PhD in Musicology at UCLA. Gonzalez’s research on women’s musical lament practices formed a historical backbone for what became No Sun. Dating back to ancient Greece, the lament has utilized female voices as a vehicle for expressing communal and personal grief. In her research, Gonzalez considers this tradition within the context of contemporary pop divas, asking the question “What does it mean to be a professional mourner?” or to be a woman hired as an emotional vessel for a historically male composer? Gonzalez’s research considers the creative power of such singers, arguing that while often seen as visceral performers alone, these women are agents in their own right.

i am deeply here for reflective sad nite jewel - super excited for her artistically at how she's taken her core sound and driven it somewhere you wouldn't have thought it could go? listening to that first single felt a bit like watching s3 of twin peaks - the familiar made somehow strange, the denial of expectations leading to something more deeply satisfying

Actually I like the vibe of this. I wasn’t sold on the tracks that came out pre-release, but overall I think it’s really nice. A “mature” album I guess? Contemplative and all that. But still has some of her late-night grooves.
