this Boiler Room set has made really excited about the new record
― winters (josh), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 04:13 (three years ago) link
album is fine but doesn't seem as hook-y as the last one on first listen?
― ufo, Friday, 24 July 2020 00:43 (three years ago) link
well this is completely delightful on contact!

texturally wonderful as always and I can sense actual songs in there as well

i really like "over and over" and "alexander"

I've not been motivated to engage with her music for years but the new one is great, so much hookier and full of ideas than her older work. How long has she been making stuff like this?
― Matt DC, Saturday, 25 July 2020 12:24 (three years ago) link
it's not a significant shift from oh no which i'd say was slightly better than this new one

i tried with "lick in heaven" and it's not my thing

i want to like it but the production goes the wrong way for me, flat and fart-y. quirky freestyle shouldn't sound like beat happening. guaranteed if you play it on a dance floor the energy goes to zero. i know that's a weirdly arbitrary thing to level against a pop track because pop can be successful so many different ways but that's just where my head is at rn. is there another "single" from this i should give a chance? i guess i sound like i've already made up my mind but it changes all the time and i'm weird so idk maybe i'll come around.

Still love her first album; nothing since has really clicked for me.

been loving this. Badly has remained a favorite -- makes me curious if jeremy writes any vocals. her delivery of the main verses is so junior boys! very easy to imagine him singing that.

Rules. Flat and farty is just what I needed today.

Enjoying the new record quite a bit – I think it digests Oh No's influences into a more pop-friendly record that still has quite a bit of "weird" detail & sound design hidden inside a minimal electronic/R&B shell. "Anyone Around", "Face", "Ice Creamy", "Over and Over" are highlights for me. Also sounds v. good played v. loud on my tower speakers where you can appreciate the mix.

this is a little thin but if I approach it looking for its textural richness rather than its songwriting I appreciate it a lot more

DJ Kicks mix feels like a very obvious join-the-dots influence map, but I've always liked the stuff her music draws on so I'm really enjoying it

i thought i had posted some thoughts on it somewhere. not sure what else to say except agree.
weird revive because was literally today thinking about selling the 2LP (pressing kinda sucks) but remembered it's the only way you can get the swisha and michael j blood tracks on vinyl

Just speculating here but are she and jr boys Jeremy done working together?
When I first heard those piano/synth chords come in I was sure he had a part in this, but then saw she credited Pearson Sound with co-production and some other guy mixed it; no mention of Jeremy. Seems like this is just a one-off single but I hope not the end of their partnership!
― anza808, Sunday, 2 April 2023 23:26 (one year ago) link
i like this but i fuller song lyrics from her, not just artsy snippets, e.g. the mezzanine tracks

new album love hallucination out 28 july. greenspan is apparently on a few tracks still

how is this not the album cover. anyway can't wait!
― maf you one two (maffew12), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 11:36 (one year ago) link
yet another solid album from her!
― ufo, Friday, 28 July 2023 09:42 (ten months ago) link
so good. The advance description made it sound like a bigger variety of producers this time. But from this new Discogs entry, can see Jeremy Greenspan is still heavily involved

saw that too! their whole dynamic is very curious with the friends, lovers, ex-lovers arc.
honestly impressive they've maintained such a close and consistent creative partnership through it all. also interesting that he seemingly never proactively promotes her work nor his involvement in it.
at the beginning there was sensitivity of overshadowing and it being written off as a junior boys project but at this point certainly she's doing bigger numbers than they ever did. as a long time JBs fan I'm just glad it's still a going concern and a great one at that!
― anza808, Friday, 28 July 2023 20:35 (ten months ago) link
have yet to dig into the album but it looks promising. 'limbo' is A++++

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed her lockdown-era online DJ mixes, when I'd just stay in and drink red wine and listen to online DJ mixes.
