I support Grimes and her right to be as messy as she needs to be, but yeah, I had to unfollow her on Twitter a while back.

The thing I have trouble forgiving her for, though, was having her boyfriend open for her in 2012. He performed solo as Elite Gymnastics and it was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. He opened with a cover — no — he announced that he would be opening with a cover, then did so. This gambit presaged the weakness to come. His music was bad, and he kept talking about how shy and nervous he was, but also about how inspiring he finds the work of Andrea Dworkin, which made the whole thing even more :staredog:. That man did not deserve a stage and she gave him one. Jesus.

She was super cool after the show, though. I think I was gushing about how good Visions was and how much great electronic music was coming out of Canada, and she gave me an unsolicited hug, signed my album, and it was great, so I guess I forgive her, but I still can't forget how badly she enabled that guy.

I really liked the album he dropped called Ruin and it's a shame that immediately after he decided he was too cool for music and decided to spend all his time making woke entry-level college course feminism tweets instead

The second Disclosure album loving rules too, but Sam Smith has literally only ever been good on Disclosure songs. Songs like Latch and Omen are all-time classics while all Sam Smith's solo stuff is hot garbage.

Hell, Disclosure even made Lorde sound good.

i'll totally go to bat for the second disclosure album too, but the first is like this weird high mark in the crossover of house and pop before it got completely hosed up by edm

apparently they're working on a third record now! mostly i just wanna see them in concert again because the first time i saw them they had tnght as an opener, and the second time they had anderson paak, so i hope they will have an equally insane double bill next time around. not that they're not worth seeing on their own

I saw them in...2015 I think? It was shortly after Caracal came out. They played in this giant warehouse, there were thousands of people there and they put on such a dope live show. It ruled. I'd love to go see them again.

The tickets were like $50 but it was easily worth that and I'd gladly pay that to see them again.

This is probably the best place to ask this, but I'm looking for recommendations on more atmospheric indie (vocals or no vocals).. basically something that straddles the line between movie score and soundtrack. Something that feels cinematic but has more body than a traditional score.

Would recommend El Ten Eleven, Tycho, Stars of the Lid. The first two are typically more upbeat, the last is great if you just need something closer to white noise (these are all no-vocal bands, save for some distant samples in some SotL songs)

El Ten Eleven and Tycho are two of my favorite bands. I've seen ETE twice and Tycho 4 times I think. They both put on a killer live show.

Also a related artist who falls more under the "electrogaze" genre but is also definitely indie: Ulrich Schnauss.

Eh. The light guitar and talk-singing in plain terms about his wife, his daughter, he's sad, here's something we did once, etc., feels a little tired at this point. A Crow Looked at Me was good because it was so startling how frank and moving it was - this just sounds like more of the same but without that startle factor. It's like releasing a concept album about eating lasagna Monday through Saturday and then nearly a year later putting out a track about how you also eat it on Sunday.

that is very jaded and dismissive.

i found quite a lot to appreciate in that track that differentiates it, the longer scale of memories and that the instrumentation feels less skeletal than the previous album

All I said was the new song is too derivative of previous work, probably the most basic and barely offensive criticism one could level at a musician. I am entirely sympathetic to Phil's personal situation, but his public presence is as an artist, which is how I judge him.

Yeah that's pretty fair criticism to level at a difficult topic, honestly. I don't really have much of an opinion on Mount Eerie one way or another, but we should still be able to be subjective about music no matter its themes.

BonoMan
Feb 20, 2002

Jade Ear Joe
I've never listened to Mt Erie, but yeah if he's putting a product out there to sell it's open to critique. Just because it's about something that's sadder than most song topics doesn't give it an automatic pass for whatever reason.

On a personal level of course you want him to write however many song he needs to write to deal with such a loss, but on a retail level that kind of criticism is fair game.

Henchman of Santa
Aug 21, 2010
It’s fair criticism, but I think the lasagna analogy is worth making fun of

Princeps32
Nov 9, 2012
of course the critique is legitimate and worth sharing, i just think it is also jaded and dismissive. it opened with “eh.” and closed with stating he is regurgitating material (won’t discuss the slightly insulting lasagna analogy directly i got the overall point). the primary criticism is the shock value wore off and that takes away from the piece, and i subjectively disagree. there are thematic and musical differences from the last album and it affected me all over again. if the whole album is the same as this song we’ll see how i feel, but i found the individual track moving and somewhat warm in a way the last album wasn’t

What up! I've been going nuts over the exact same stuff today. Been taking about Janelle in the regular Pop thread but wasn't sure if I missed a bunch of talk about US Girls in this or another thread. I still don't really know when it came out, I just heard some songs on college radio the last few days and decided to listen to the album. 2nd listen today and I'm already thinking this is a must-buy. Never even heard of this artist before but it's just a really drat good album on so many levels.
