Edith Frost - "It's A Game"

saw edith's new band's first show in colorado this week, about a minute away from where i live. turns out the guitarist/songwriter lives down the street from me...
this sounds good! kinda shoegazey/4AD-ish.

I like!

glad she's back! I thought she mostly just knitted and tweeted these days :P

that song's pretty good, but I never would have guessed it was Edith if I heard it of context. I hope the vocals are less whispery/more emphatic on their other material. I really just wish she'd record a covers album of obscure old country songs, since she seems to be a big geek for that sort of thing.

I still love her stuff. Telescopic has remained in the current rotation pile of lps for a long time.

Three new songs on her Bandcamp:

Reviving this because the other thread isn't great.

Wow, that's a name from the past for me. Glad she's still doing stuff

she got banned from twitter for impersonating Elon Musk

also saw on her twitter (pre-banning) an older tweet where she suggested that Brian Gray Howe pitchfork review from upthread basically played some role in her quitting the music game.

impersonating elon *and* making elon poop jokes! (i feel it's important to give full credit when full credit is due!)

^^ David Berman said the same about that critic.

i hadn't seen a tweet from her in years, even though I followed her.

Wow – that review, complaining of her "unattractive desperation," must be one of the worst on Pitchfork (at least that hasn't been scrubbed from the site).

She's on Mastodon now and of course I immediately followed her. (Kindly, she followed back.)
