oh man I'm in one of those towns on one of those dates, for work

Seeing her at the Scott Walker Prom I really wasn't prepared for the sheer power of her voice in a live setting.
― Matt DC, Friday, 28 July 2017 18:11 (six years ago) link
Just got my sf tix. Even if she doesn't do a lot from TLS I'll still relish getting to see her in a venue that small.

stylistic shift reminds me of Sol Seppy changing gears on "Bird Calls" (EP) from her former dream-pop stylings
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 28 July 2017 18:43 (six years ago) link
oh wow montreal! nice
― flippy bard (Will M.), Sunday, 30 July 2017 02:29 (six years ago) link
The Brothel was my first Sundfør album. This seems less a stylistic shift than a return to form.

Dang, Paris is sold out too, gig's close to my place too, bleh

Weird, not only do I not know this person, I also don't think I have ever even heard of the venue she is playing here in November, which appears to be some sort of restaurant/club.

"stylistic shift reminds me of Sol Seppy changing gears on "Bird Calls" (EP) from her former dream-pop stylings"
wow you're the only person I've ever seen mention Sol Seppy. I love her stuff. What has happened to her? Where is she? What a mysterious person
Missing the London show by one day as I have to leave that morning. But hoping I can see her in SF.
― akm, Sunday, 30 July 2017 17:09 (six years ago) link
( https://www.facebook.com/Sol-Seppy-292583807466864/ she recently moved, apparently )
― StanM, Sunday, 30 July 2017 17:25 (six years ago) link
i'm assuming you're talking about the chop shop? yeah definitely a weird venue, but they do put shows on every once in a while. last one i recall worth going to was machinedrum. they also hosted some free CRJ show the other week

"Due to unforeseen manufacturing delays the release of Music For People In Trouble has been delayed.

Hi Akm, just saw your post regarding Sol Seppy itt. Sophie's last release was in 2012 and I can't find anything new since then. She seems to have dropped off.
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Sunday, 20 August 2017 19:05 (six years ago) link
Wow, the new album <3 <3 <3It's not as immediate as the previous one but what a grower
― StanM, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 15:25 (six years ago) link
Yeah, this album is so beautiful. In a way it's like a more stripped down version of The Brothel.
She's pretty much the best songwriter around at this point isn't she?
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 29 August 2017 15:44 (six years ago) link
all the beats and organs are gone aren't they
― northwest pass-agg (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 29 August 2017 19:28 (six years ago) link
not if by beats and organs you mean piano and pedal steel!
anyway I'm a miserable prick so of course I love this but it's not gonna be another ILX zeitgeist crasher
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 30 August 2017 00:29 (six years ago) link
i'm all over the record.

i don't like much of the first half, but i love the second half
― ufo, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 12:35 (six years ago) link
i really like the last half of 'the sound of war'
― just another (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 30 August 2017 21:56 (six years ago) link
and the first half
Really beautiful album. Perhaps not every melody and song is stellar but it's a very high bar she's setting. So confident in the material. Can't wait to hear the new stuff in Glasgow.

And where's Lex?
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 1 September 2017 15:58 (six years ago) link
So intrigued by the lyrical content too. What's been going on for her since the last album...
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Friday, 1 September 2017 16:00 (six years ago) link
Jealous of you guys who have the album. In the meantime I'll have to make do with this recording on a mountaintop

The live vocals on the last third..

wow, that live performance of Undercover blew me away. This song captures the lovesick feeling so perfectly

That's a beautiful performance. Lyrics of love lost. Which seems to be the theme of the album imo.

Thanks for those YT links StanM. Really great stuff.
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Wednesday, 6 September 2017 16:26 (six years ago) link
I'm obsessed with Music For People In Trouble right now. It's pretty much the perfect follow-up for me. It's going to be a great autumn soundtrack.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 6 September 2017 16:32 (six years ago) link
On non stop repeat for me
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Thursday, 7 September 2017 05:45 (six years ago) link
this is.....quite good. REALLY reminding me of Weyes Blood (and not just coz she just released a single) so if you didn't hear her album from last year then hear it, it's amazing. 'the golden age' is p much a Weyes Blood song

who's the actor sampled btw? tt reckons ben whishaw
― imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:14 (six years ago) link
this isn't like Ten Love Songs where it's immediately lovable and I don't see this ending up an all-time favourite, but it is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. The last two minutes of Undercover is an incredible performance.
― boxedjoy, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:17 (six years ago) link
This is very different but very good. The sound of it is amazing.
