moonrise kingdom is terrific

getting a bit obsessed with this album. i love when the beats buckle and distort, i love how she turns pain into power both in her metaphors and her narratives, i love that she's so convincing that she even gets away with actually howling like a wolf

I've been playing it non-stop since Thursday, "D-Day," "Exposed," "The Wolves" especially.

despite deep deep reservations due to how much I disliked the previous album, I finally played this
holy shit

This is an incredibly strong contender for my album of the year.

i was initially drawn to the hard-ass ones where she rips your face off, but wow, the melodies on this thing as well. seems like the one she took from her unfortunate major label experience was how to write better ~emotional hooks than sia. and the way she switches between rapping and singing works so well every time.
love the recurrent wolves and moons, so many lyrics that stop you in your tracks. "i know n*ggas ignore / that the blood in a queen runs the same in a whore", "my brain is a cage, it's the place where the beasts that i'm battling lay, man it's a wrap, i relax in my rage like a bat or a rat in a trap or a cave", "if suffering makes a god then let me know more of it"...those are just from "on fire". "detox" is fucking epic, "exposed" is just so raw

sorry, they, wasn't thinking
i wasn't really put off by dirty gold bc it's always seemed inevitable they'd make better music outside the major label system

i saw angel live a month or so ago and was somewhat put off by her playing new songs for the first 3/4 of the set and jumping into the audience for the second half of the set, making it impossible to actually see her in a crowd of some 6kshe was okay live but it's a single person hip hop show in a huge crowd, unless you're amazing it's hard for that to be the best possible concertanyway, i really need to listen to the new one.

So good. In my top 5 for the year to date, for sure. "The Wolves" is :o and don't overlook "Bruises" near the end - a great bit of pop on top of everything else we've been offered up to that point.

in moonrise kingdom its something v obvious but what does the 'you gotta run / or theyll catch us and stop us from growing' sound like? partic how the second half is phrased

http://sobs.com/2015/6177/angel-haze-back-to-the-woods-tourAngel at SOBs in NYC on November 23 at 8pmGood option for those of you doing the solo Tday thing in the city; except for her penchant for literally taking herself off the stage and general pontification, she puts on a show

I like how on “Dark Places,” Haze alternates between rapid, snarled patter and mournful sung verses over nicely programmed instrumentation from Tk Kayembe.

back to the woods is a great slept-on record. Fraught with more paranoia and psychosis than the debut but wonderful all the same

Don't know if it was mentioned on here anywhere, but Angel Haze is now called Roes

i think she poisoned the water a while back by dropping her album online without coordinating with her label.https://www.mtv.com/news/1719290/angel-haze-dirty-gold-album-leak/
