I listened to Undercover here https://songwhisper.tumblr.com/?ref_url=https://s9e.github.io/iframe/tumblr.min.html

agh tumblr link is also being temperamental, this is trump's america
― sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 03:18 (six years ago) link
seems like it's not going to be another pop album like Ten Love Songs unfortunately but the single's quite nice
― ufo, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 03:25 (six years ago) link
I'm not super into her work prior to the last album, and this is reminiscent of all that, but I think the composition is better? Or more to my liking, at least.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 04:17 (six years ago) link
holy shit this is gorgeous

Looks like Reincarnation (posted upthread) is on the album too?
― monotony, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 05:43 (six years ago) link
bleh, a staid ballad
― sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 06:12 (six years ago) link
Differentiating between 'pop Susanne' and 'non-pop Susanne' is kind of meaningless to me cause she's serving the same amazing melodies either way.

This song takes off too.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 06:28 (six years ago) link
Reading an interview about this in a Norwegian newspaper:
Undercover is "inspired by Dolly Parton", and she goes on to say "country and folk music are genres I always come back to". Album inspired by her recent journeys and the political reality of the world today, apparently.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 07:06 (six years ago) link
also bleh, it seems Ten Love Songs is going to be another Love's Victory March i.e. brilliant, sumptuous, colossal album that nothing following will be like
― sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 07:28 (six years ago) link
Parts of Ten Love Songs are like this though
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 07:29 (six years ago) link
those are the parts I don't like
― sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 07:30 (six years ago) link
basically I don't understand how someone can go from "Accelerate" and "Insects" to something one step away from an Adele song

I get the Adele complaint, but c'mon, that pedal steel.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 12:47 (six years ago) link
it's not like this side of her is unprecedented or anything, though I'd definitely prefer it if it had a dance beat
I don't care for The Sound of War (the other new song she was playing live) or Reincarnation at all so I'm just thankful that there's something to like about Undercover
― ufo, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 13:53 (six years ago) link
idk this is great
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 14:12 (six years ago) link
Seems a little early to make that prediction. New album is the same length as the last one, has an intriguing title and opens with a song called "Mantra." I don't think she's lost her ambition.
This track is heavenly. Could easily see it as an outlier on a Ten Love Songs-esque suite, but I'd just as happily take an entire LP of ballads this beautifully composed and personable
― Evan R, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 14:22 (six years ago) link
She started out doing piano ballads - only, her piano ballads are as different from other piano ballads as her pop songs are.

another one of the new songs, live:

i love this even though the songs like it are the ones i skip on ten love songs. she rules, this rules, so does ten love songs, so does the silicone veil, so does that royksopp song
― just another (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 15:35 (six years ago) link
so does reincarnation

welp I guess the whole grandiose goth ABBA thing was a fluke wasn't it
― he not like the banana (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link
As someone who thinks that "Darlings" is secretly the best song on Ten Love Songs, probably not a surprise that I love this. 70s MOR was an important part of that album too - surely that's where 50% of the Abba comparison comes from?

"Mountaineers", which features John Grant: https://open.spotify.com/album/53vgNpVSa0xDdCpY6t7wv4

Not available in my region yet, but hopefully have something to look forward to early tomorrow.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 24 July 2017 02:21 (six years ago) link
Ahh there it is.
This album's going to have some really beautiful parts scattered about it if you can stay awake between them.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 24 July 2017 04:39 (six years ago) link
yeah this won't be an ILX hivemind record but I love her arrangements so much

The pay off is typically beautiful but it feels like it takes a long time to get there. It seems like this is going to be a much harder album to love than Ten Love Songs.
― kitchen person, Monday, 24 July 2017 13:52 (six years ago) link
idk about you guys, but i've been getting my full life from these new tracks. she can do no wrong in my mind.
― joshywinty (josh), Monday, 24 July 2017 18:05 (six years ago) link
definitely my favourite of the new songs so far
― ufo, Monday, 24 July 2017 21:36 (six years ago) link
they kind of feel like the same song
