Lee Scorsby!

Has Lin-Manuel Miranda had something to do with Ibeyi then?

Yes it would appear he has!

Agnes is an icon.

another delightful month on the N&G forum!

 

[Teeeee]

my thought was Ash since the clues pointed more particularly to that album. the video I posted a little after was one of the early singles from it.


* hey @Teeeee, know how I first heard of Ibeyi?

I .... actually don't. I know I've played them in JQBX. But not for a very long time.

Do tell.

 

[Teeeee]

I'm not ready to reveal anything. No one broke the Queen B clue. I think.

They are all women.

WRAP IT UP! I broke the Bey clue.

haha it was broken above in the clue! they were in Lemonade. I personally had my attention drawn to their music around that time because she featured their tracks in some random Instagram videos.

and Christobomb is weaving a cool web of clues about rad (mostly) women. I love.

I was just looking back and I’ve only once had to pay more than €20 inc delivery for any of the N&G AoTMs so far! How awesome is that! We rule!

 

[ChristoBee]

Okey, okey, stop "tourner autour du pot", I admit, the AoTM is Ibeyi's Ash.

I'll focus on the write up and try to fin some cool further listening. Of course, if you like this, the first record of theirs is equally cool, albeit a little more organic, less electronic.

Weird that I just saw this thread. I recently discovered Song Exploder and had the Deathless episode queued up for today.

someone who is not me feel like compiling a dash of Ash with the other not-it-but-could've been songs, I'd love a Christobomb playlist for February!

After listening to the episode..they are a delight and I want to hear them talk about every song they ever wrote.

Streaming the album now and it is .

It took me 2 tracks in to got that order button! I knew Deathless but the rest is just as good.

Man we win fast

Man we win fast

I feel that it was a bit too hard at first, then once it was mentionned, my whole mystery vanished.

And so Gap awoke from her lengthy hibernation, only to find that "oh hey the album has been announced"

I sampled this yesterday when I saw it was becoming a frontrunner and even though I didn't get to give it my full attention at the time, I liked what I heard! Very intrigued to give this a deeper dive
