'Short Court Style' is so likeable.

It doesn't seem to be on Youtube, can I listen to it anywhere without having to sign up for a streaming service?

simon otm, i had very low expectations for the new prass album based on the first one, which i didn't like at all, but i was intrigued by "short court style" and the rest blew me away, especially "hot for the mountain"

I think his misgivings are similar to mine tbh but he's expressed them even more awkwardly than I would have done

listening to this Roisin song after 58 minutes of autechre is weirdly unsettling

like it more than the other Mr Twin Sister track. this is freaky

59: Prince Kaybee featuring Busiswa and TNS - “Banomoya”
This is my favourite discovery of today's rollout. Not so keen on the male vox coming in, but the construction of space and movement with the bass & synths kills.
Also into Die Wilde Jagd, which somehow I'd missed before, though it feels thinner than it should be in places, not quite as epic as I want it to be.

(fuckin' ilx and the 1975 tho', ffs)
― emil.y, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:02 (five years ago) link
Trying to work out if I'm going to have any other placements aside from that Helena Hauff track... surely Blackpink will make it? Maybe Hen Ogledd & Yemi Alade?
― emil.y, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:04 (five years ago) link
This Roisin track makes me want to listen to Dreamer by Livin' Joy. More bland comments as they arrive.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
I really like Jaipur and a couple of the other songs on Salt, but overall I didn't find the album anywhere near as compelling as their previous album which was perfect. Really wish they'd put Power Of Two and Echo Arms on there.

the 1975 is a psyop
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:08 (five years ago) link
I've been sleeping on this twin sister record too much probably
― davey, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:08 (five years ago) link
Ok, I actually listened to this Mr. Sister tune, and it is quite different from the previous one, and definitely better. Is most of their music like this, or like the earlier track?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:09 (five years ago) link
salt > s/t
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:09 (five years ago) link
tuomas: listen to "in the house of yes"
I wanted to like the 1975's new record but couldn't make it through the first listen
― davey, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:10 (five years ago) link
yeah i kinda think so too, the s/t drops off a tiny bit in the second half imo
xxp

salt wasn't as immediate as the s/t but it's the better record

lol I'm just now getting to Smoko. You guys there are 12 million songs released in 2018 better than this.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:12 (five years ago) link
I tried this, and I really like the basic disco groove and the vocals, but the arrangement is way too loaded! Why do they need to have all those extra sounds there, like the weird scratching? Just trust what you have!
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:12 (five years ago) link
going to 45 today. to 29 tomorrow. final 13 on friday.

that is a new breakdown but i can dig it

xpost Guess I'll have to give Salt another go. I feel like I'm really missing out. I just played the S/T this morning and it sounded so good.

Hopefully the title track will make it as well, as it's the best of the lot.

I don't rate this song at all btw but they pastiche cronenberg well

and the mutated harmony between the synth line and vocal melody
― my tweet portal is whack (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:19 (five years ago) link
should be noted that the video of 2000 elefanten isn’t the best way to hear the song because that stretch of dead air in the middle really kills it
― my name is leee john, for we are many (NickB), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 19:19 (five years ago) link
the one thing I've been gathering from this list so far is that ILX really loves deadpan, disaffected vocals
