I didn't realize the new Alanis was an ambient meditation album.
I don't love or dislike it, but it's not what I expected at all!

My wife, who I would typically say is a much bigger Alanis fan than I, absolutely hates it though.

Yeah, had it not been for @Bluecloud777 identifying the genre in the post above I wouldn't have checked it out myself (thanks @Bluecloud777 for that!).

It's a bit too sparse and ethereal for my taste when it comes to ambient, so the "meditation" tag is on point there. I tend towards Huerco S. and KMRU when it comes to ambient. That said, good on her for branching out, respect. And I definitely have a chortle thinking of all her regular fans checking this out thinking it's a usual Alanis record.

This Perfume Genius album is weird. It tracks in progression of sound for him but it's kind of like ambient techno sound collages with some occasional lyrics

It's not weird 😂 You're weird you weirdo 🤣🤣🤣
No seriously it's his most ambitious and experimental work to date. It's modern classical art pop and I like it 😃
 
I knew nothing about this release until reading the Daily Bandcamp's picks for this week. As a fan of Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones AND of James Brandon Lewis I decided I should probably just go ahead and order it without even listening! 😶‍🌫️



I'm sure I'll listen to it digitally at least once before my copy arrives in late August/early September.
