holy smokes thats a strange video

Pleasant surprise, she has a new project with Angel Deradoorian called Decisive Pink. First single is more conventional synth pop than her solo stuff but it has a nice trippy shining future vibe (via focus on dominant 7th chord): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLrdPMAguUQ

It's hitting me in my nostalgic feels. Fantastic.

Nice. She's coming to Big Ears next year, I'm intrigued.

yeah that single is nice, looking forward to the full album. it kind of sounds like a direction Stereolab could've gone in. hope they emphasize the vocal harmonies because they're damn good
in other news apparently she's also doing a show in Chicago? I might have to try to make that

yesss Macdonald Duck Eclair are excellent, plus they have a Longmont Potion Castle name
― frogbs, Thursday, 9 February 2023 22:00 (one year ago) link
yeah i like what they got goin'!

Wow is upon us! Sounds good, if mostly back in not-actual-pop-songy territory, just as the previews were suggesting.

huge Rainbow Islands vibes from "confessions at the dinner table"

Love this
― nxd, Friday, 3 March 2023 17:18 (one year ago) link
yeah it's exactly what I was hoping for given the preview tracks. no real songs but a lot of nice sounds. I know this comparison is lame but you know how all the animals and people in Katamari are only capable of making weird wordless noises? well this is like if you put together a barnyard jam band there
― frogbs, Tuesday, 7 March 2023 03:28 (one year ago) link
this is lots of fun. love the pings and pops, tho at times they did make me think i was getting a work notification lol

first album from her other project due in June
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/decisive-pink/ticket-to-fame/
that's pretty quick but I am pretty sure nearly all of WOW was recorded before Room for the Moon. in fact you can hear proto versions of those tracks on here if you listen closely. so I guess it makes sense that her actual "new project" is actually something upcoming and not this.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 14:12 (one year ago) link
yeah her instagram post for Wow's release says it was made around the same time as Moon

this album's gonna be real good I think. vocals remind me a bit of Stereolab
― frogbs, Monday, 24 April 2023 19:38 (one year ago) link
yeah, i'm more excited for this than the Kate NV album. which is saying something.
― alpine static, Monday, 24 April 2023 22:01 (one year ago) link
Completely missed these posts - I had not heard them before and they *are* a very emil.y band. Loving this.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 13:09 (one year ago) link
xp All the Decisive Pink preview tracks so far have been great. Wish the album were coming out sooner!
― Vaguely Threatening CAPTCHAs, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 15:29 (one year ago) link
Love this new project.

So Ticket to Fame is out and it's a lovely treat.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 June 2023 17:01 (eleven months ago) link
Lovely treat is exactly right, especially "Cosmic Dancer." Optimistic space-pop perfection. Also love the flute throughout--shades of early Kraftwerk.
― J. Sam, Sunday, 11 June 2023 21:04 (eleven months ago) link
I like this!
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Monday, 12 June 2023 15:32 (eleven months ago) link
oooh yeah. this is something ILX needs to hear. in the sense that it reminds me of a lot of things that ILX likes. and yeah it totally has that Ralf & Florian/Autobahn sound! would be a shame if this didn't get the attention that WOW did, I mean I'm a fan of everything she does but this one I think makes good on the promises of her best stuff
― frogbs, Monday, 19 June 2023 03:07 (eleven months ago) link
yeah this is very good stuff, easily my favourite album she's been involved with
― ufo, Monday, 19 June 2023 09:01 (eleven months ago) link
a bunch of this album reminds me of this Telex song in particular

Decisive Pink euro touro announced:https://www.instagram.com/p/CuXGShMNCT6/
Bizarrely they're playing here in the tiniest pub (capacity 100!), just a mile away at the bottom of the hill from where i live. Am completely losing my mind about this, holy heck
― NickB, Thursday, 6 July 2023 21:51 (ten months ago) link
i mean, this is what the stage looks like in there:

Only two UK dates and one at the Rose Hill? Bloody hell!
― emil.y, Friday, 7 July 2023 13:11 (ten months ago) link
wow, that's crazy. I was really close to seeing her in Chicago but that's kind of a drive and I couldn't make it work. but the show seemed to just be at some bar/coffee shop, would've been super cool
― frogbs, Friday, 7 July 2023 14:24 (ten months ago) link
Ticket booked for the Brighton show. Pumped!

any idea why?
― blazin' squab (NickB), Monday, 6 November 2023 20:16 (six months ago) link
None at all. I just received a Dice notification. I was looking forward to it :(
― mmmm, Monday, 6 November 2023 20:49 (six months ago) link
Weird! Can't find any further info online. Still tickets available for brighton though, so don't think that's affected.

Sad to say it looks like the Rose Hill show is also cancelled. I saw visa issues mentioned.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 7 November 2023 16:48 (six months ago) link
huh. i went as surrealism for halloween and as part of that i wore a tank top with a kandinsky print on the front.
― Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 7 November 2023 17:18 (six months ago) link
i used to have a cd called "live at the knitting, factory, vol. iii" and this piece called "kandinsky" was on it. i like it.

I meant to listen to this and maybe go to the gig but forgot until tonight, then I was like oh shit the gig was tonight wasn't it? but turns out it wasn't anyway. oh well. I am going to too many gigs this month already anyway. my ears still hurt from Slowdive last week
