Yeah listening to it more in full this seems to be more where it's at. But the extended nature of two of the songs had me thinking he's doing some interesting things. But most the individual songs do recall the older material a little bit. I like it a lot.
for me; Amber Mark's and Ibeyi's releases are benchmarks for me this year in the R&B category, and this one is a bit more static than those two)
tier, but a few interesting bits kept it from falling too far)
You give Horsegirl’s Versions of Modern Performance a listen yet? I think it’d be right up your alley.I think I've been an easy grader this week in the same manner I was as a teaching assistant in another life.
- EPROM, G Jones - Acid Disk 2 [EP] (this made the SOPHIE fan in me so overjoyed. Production is similar, sans the bright electronics and glimmer)
- EABS - 2061
- Everything Everything - Raw Data Feel (different from what they've done in the past, no? Strong hooks to be found here. I don't agree with the "art pop" tag at all, though)
- Angel Olsen - Big Time
- Orville Peck - Bronco (first time listening to this country musician. Very impressed with his vocal range + strength)
- POLIÇA - Madness
- UMI - Forest in the City (thanks for this, @nolalady. Just shy of
- Porridge Radio - Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky
- Toro y Moi - Mahal
- Tove Stryke - HARD (narrowly avoided
- 070 Shake - You Can't Kill Me
- Trillmatic x Conway the Machine - Organized Grime 2 (not a fan of the production here)
- Post Malone - Twelve Carat Toothache (the features are horrid, never mind the camp and uninspiring tunes)
I will listen to this later today. Thank you for the recommendation.
I don’t like the new one as much as Soar. Thanks for the tip on the vinyl. I ordered a copy, very nice price and somehow got across the Atlantic without a major warp despite the very skinny box and the thick ten inch booklet in the sleeve.
Great that you could grab one. My one only had to go a few miles and arrived all crumpled so you did better than me. And agreed completely that Soar is better. Still enjoyed the new one though.
Yeah, the new one is good. Soar is just… special.
Adding all these to my 'To Listen To' list. I've been woefully behind on listening of late.I think I've been an easy grader this week in the same manner I was as a teaching assistant in another life.
