Promising, indeed. I can't imagine what she's going through in Russia right now.

new album, looks like it's gonna be full of the Zoolook-style digital sampling she's been doing lately. so maybe not exactly a follow up to Room for the Moon but I have liked those tracks so far

holy smokes thats a strange video
― frogbs, Thursday, 8 December 2022 23:02 (one year ago) link
Pleasant surprise, she has a new project with Angel Deradoorian called Decisive Pink. First single is more conventional synth pop than her solo stuff but it has a nice trippy shining future vibe (via focus on dominant 7th chord): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLrdPMAguUQ

It's hitting me in my nostalgic feels. Fantastic.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 15 December 2022 04:28 (one year ago) link
Nice. She's coming to Big Ears next year, I'm intrigued.

yeah that single is nice, looking forward to the full album. it kind of sounds like a direction Stereolab could've gone in. hope they emphasize the vocal harmonies because they're damn good
in other news apparently she's also doing a show in Chicago? I might have to try to make that

oh wow i hadn't heard macdonald duck eclair before and they sound like a very emil.y band :)

yesss Macdonald Duck Eclair are excellent, plus they have a Longmont Potion Castle name
― frogbs, Thursday, 9 February 2023 22:00 (one year ago) link
yeah i like what they got goin'!
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Thursday, 9 February 2023 22:03 (one year ago) link
Wow is upon us! Sounds good, if mostly back in not-actual-pop-songy territory, just as the previews were suggesting.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 3 March 2023 04:57 (one year ago) link
huge Rainbow Islands vibes from "confessions at the dinner table"
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 3 March 2023 11:50 (one year ago) link
Love this
― nxd, Friday, 3 March 2023 17:18 (one year ago) link
yeah it's exactly what I was hoping for given the preview tracks. no real songs but a lot of nice sounds. I know this comparison is lame but you know how all the animals and people in Katamari are only capable of making weird wordless noises? well this is like if you put together a barnyard jam band there
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 03:28 (one year ago) link
this is lots of fun. love the pings and pops, tho at times they did make me think i was getting a work notification lol

first album from her other project due in June
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/decisive-pink/ticket-to-fame/
that's pretty quick but I am pretty sure nearly all of WOW was recorded before Room for the Moon. in fact you can hear proto versions of those tracks on here if you listen closely. so I guess it makes sense that her actual "new project" is actually something upcoming and not this.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 14:12 (one year ago) link
yeah her instagram post for Wow's release says it was made around the same time as Moon

this album's gonna be real good I think. vocals remind me a bit of Stereolab
― frogbs, Monday, 24 April 2023 19:38 (one year ago) link
yeah, i'm more excited for this than the Kate NV album. which is saying something.
― alpine static, Monday, 24 April 2023 22:01 (one year ago) link
Completely missed these posts - I had not heard them before and they *are* a very emil.y band. Loving this.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 13:09 (one year ago) link
xp All the Decisive Pink preview tracks so far have been great. Wish the album were coming out sooner!

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 June 2023 17:01 (eleven months ago) link
Lovely treat is exactly right, especially "Cosmic Dancer." Optimistic space-pop perfection. Also love the flute throughout--shades of early Kraftwerk.
― J. Sam, Sunday, 11 June 2023 21:04 (eleven months ago) link
I like this!
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 12 June 2023 15:32 (eleven months ago) link
oooh yeah. this is something ILX needs to hear. in the sense that it reminds me of a lot of things that ILX likes. and yeah it totally has that Ralf & Florian/Autobahn sound! would be a shame if this didn't get the attention that WOW did, I mean I'm a fan of everything she does but this one I think makes good on the promises of her best stuff
― frogbs, Monday, 19 June 2023 03:07 (eleven months ago) link
yeah this is very good stuff, easily my favourite album she's been involved with
― ufo, Monday, 19 June 2023 09:01 (eleven months ago) link
a bunch of this album reminds me of this Telex song in particular

wow, that's crazy. I was really close to seeing her in Chicago but that's kind of a drive and I couldn't make it work. but the show seemed to just be at some bar/coffee shop, would've been super cool
