This Andrés track isn't so bad.

Chromatics is the sort of aesthetic wash that I find pleasant on the ears, but it's not got enough about it to make it stand out in any way.

I didn't vote for it (didn't fully come around to it til very recently) but I really hope "Au Seve" beats this. "New For U" is alright tho.
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:47 (eleven years ago) link
"au seve" will surely place? so much better
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:48 (eleven years ago) link
New for U is fun, I'm boppin

Chromatics is really really nice aesthetic wash imo. Like, you could give it as a Christmas present.

it's a gorgeous sample, but they just hammer you with it. there is little else to the song. no structure, very little variance in the drums. I like repetitious music, but I found it hard to make it through the whole five minutes of it.
― beard papa, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
'New For U' probably is about context, I imagine. I've never heard it out.

The Alunageorge track just makes me wish it was by Jessie Ware.
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
got round to d/lding but not listening yet
let me know when u do! i'm curious to hear what u think. esp the track "life happens"
― Mordy, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
If 'Au Seve' doesn't place then there'll have been a really poor showing for dance music this year.
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:50 (eleven years ago) link
hadnt heard new for u before but i like it. could listen to that string sample all day
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
More of a DJ tool than a fully realized track.

is anyone updating a spotify playlist for this thread?
― Mordy, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:51 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, andres lacks subtle variation needed for a near 6 min track. many xps

A couple weeks ago I was listening to a mix in my truck on the way to a party that had "Au Seve" in it, then was singing it walking down the street, then when I walked into the party "Au Seve" was playing. It was a very synchronistic moment in my life.
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
i am intrigued about where the first really good song will place.

i don't think i've heard 'new for u' out either but it captures a certain dance floor moment and def. makes me feel like i have. quite charming really.
― tpp, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
probably at #77 becuase all songs are really good
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
jesus christ yeah it'd be a great track with a stronger voice carrying it, thank you for bringing me this revelation rev

Someone said it sounds like a hiphop producer's first stab at a house track, which yeah, it kinda does in exactly that way.

it is def a strange choice for track of the year for sure but i think it's nice enough. works great on the excellent deetron ra podcast.

73. JAVIERA MENA "Luz de Piedra de Luna" [190 points, 7 votes]
Spotify / Youtube
― J0rdan S., Monday, 21 January 2013 18:57 (eleven years ago) link
this shit is awesome wtf
Yeah! So good, great video as well.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:57 (eleven years ago) link
My first vote to place! Kind of conflicted given that it originally came out as an album track in 2010, but it's still great.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
Love this one!
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, fun video
the synths at the end of this are dope
― J0rdan S., Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
first holy shit wow of the list so far, track and video go the lengths
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
whoa she had an awesome disco song in the tracks poll 2 years ago right? or am i thinking of someone else
― ciderpress, Monday, 21 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, I dont remember what it was called though
― flag posts in the dust (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
this is rad too but i liked that other one better
"Hasta la Verdad" iirc
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i remember she had a song in a previous poll that i wasn't bowled over by but this is really excellent
― lex pretend, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
a necessary condition for a good song would be that i listen to it till the end when i hear it first. this didn't happen to any of the first 5 songs. for a really good song i would need to want to listen again. obviously this did not happen neither yet...
― alex in mainhattan, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
"Luz de Piedra de Luna" video is by ILX-approved misogynist CANADA btw.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, this song is v v good. The best to place so far.
― The Reverend, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
Someone tell me which thread this was being discussed on so I can bookmark it. I love it when these out-of-the-blue picks appear.
― Matt DC, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
"Hasta la Verdad"'s placing in the 2010 poll inspired latin american hipster shit but I don't recall "Luz de Piedra de Luna" being discussed much on ILX since then. It was the highest-scoring song of 2012 on the Singles Jukebox though.
― questino (seandalai), Monday, 21 January 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I was going to say, The Singles Jukebox got me onto it: http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=6030
― MikoMcha, Monday, 21 January 2013 19:04 (eleven years ago) link
I'm guessing javiera mena and maybe latin american hipster shit xxp

The synths are a little too cheesy-rave for my liking, but the Javiera Mena song is fun, yeah.
