New Glaive dropped last week:

It's very good. Glaive is definitely one of the high points of the Hyperpop crowd. I love his voice,and look forward to watching his career as he gets older.


Speaking of younger hyperpop artists, torrr put out a new album called Eel earlier this week:
https://soundcloud.com/t0rr/sets/eel
ITs very good, very emotive, and it makes me excited to see their future work as well! Torr's voice is amazing, and their production is very crisp. Highlights include Dammit and Acetone.


Also just learned about the underscores. If you like 100 gecs, but didnt think they were emo enough, listen to the underscores.

Their album fishmonger is great, the back half especially seems to find its sound and keep going down a path that works well.
of course my fav song off the album features vocals from 8485:

Marina is really just amazing.

I was a pretty big fan just based on what I'd heard, but once I started getting into her unreleased material/'outtakes' it became pretty apparent that she's just unmatched.

Here is email she just sent out


quote:

You ready?

There’s someone I want you to meet. Her feet are bare at all times. She’s sexy, playful, feral, and free. She’s a modern girl in a deadstock bikini, in touch with her past and her future, vibrating at the highest level when summer comes around. Her skin is glowing, her lovers are many. I’m completely obsessed with her, and soon you will be too.
It’s my divine pleasure to be introducing you, at long last, to my third studio album, SOLAR POWER.
The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.

The first song, also called SOLAR POWER and written and produced by myself and Jack, is the first of the rays. It’s about that infectious, flirtatious summer energy that takes hold of us all, come June (or December, if you’re a Southern Hemisphere baby like me but I know that’s literally IMPOSSIBLE for you all to wrap your little heads around so don’t worry about it!!).

I made everything with friends here in New Zealand. My best mate Ophelia took the cover photo, lying on the sand as I leapt over her, both of us laughing. The director who made my first ever music video, Joel, helped me create the videos, building an entire cinematic universe that I can’t wait for you to see. I made something that encapsulates where I’m from — my family, my girlfriends, my outdoors, my constant ruminations, and my unending search for the divine.
There’s SO much more detail to come — a truly comical amount of detail, honestly. You can look to the natural calendar for clues. I’m trying to listen to what’s out there more, and the vibe I got was that you’re ready for this, that you need it. I want this album to be your summer companion, the one you pump on the drive to the beach. The one that lingers on your skin like a tan as the months get cooler again.

Today’s the only solar eclipse of the year, did you know that? Feels right.
LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LET’S GO
SOLAR POWER TODAY — TOMORROW — FOREVER
ELLA XX

I can't see this doing anything. There's no chorus, instead choosing to build up for a finale that just doesn't deliver. Ella's obviously been working out though dang.

The album is just about being outside. Maybe she goes to the dump in one song or something. Could be a song about Lyme disease.

I feel like it could have been much more energetic. It has a great melody and they could have gone full George Michael with a big backing chorus and more powerful vocals (which is one thing I liked about Green Light) but really muted, "smaller" feeling production is in, even for poppier songs like this. Lorde was one of the people that originally pushed pop in that direction so I guess it's fitting, but I feel like it could have benefitted from feeling huge, especially as what seems to be a comeback single and "power" is in the name.

This is how I feel, but I still really liked it. I'm so glad that she's back.

I feel like I'm alone in never really rating Lorde. She did that one song for the Hunger Games that was a belter but besides that nothing I've ever heard from her has ever registered.

Double posting cause I've listened to the Marina album and it's so drat good. Besides the singles which are all still dope there's New America which is just savage, Goodbye and Highly Emotional People are both really moving and then my personal fave I Love You But I Love Me More which is gonna be the soundtrack to so many hot girl summers. The only problem I have with the album is that it's only 10 songs :negative:

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I actually think Pure Heroine is a little overrated. Team is a classic and Royals obviously influenced so much of what pop is now but I think Melodrama was just way better all around. The Louvre and Supercut and Green Light and Perfect Places that whole thing is just a blast. I’m a little bummed that this album seems to be taking a u-turn and going in a different direction but I think there’s still the possibility that Solar Power might be a little more varied in its sound as an album. Green Light was a grower too but by the time the album came out it was solid.

Pretty much entirely agree with the above post.

I’m not a massive fan of this song - I feel a certain type of way about songs that feel like they’re building up to something that never happens - but Melodrama was so good that I’ll give her some leeway

Honestly this is what happened for me with Green Light so yeah I could absolutely see it happening again. Green Light didn't grab me right away but within a month or so Melodrama was one of my favorite albums of that year.

Solar Power has the vibe of something that might work better in the context of a full album, too.

I think Solar Power is fuckin rad, just in a different way. Has me excited for the rest of the album. Melodrama was stunning.

Royals was like the worst song on the album to me. I’ll listen to Buzzcut Season, Glory and Gore, Ribs, and A World Alone(plus Magnets, Bravado, Swingin Party, Yellow Flicker Beat, Meltdown) before Melodrama. And personally I would not call Solar Power a U-Turn from Melodrama at all, seems to be more in that direction.

e: may have been too harsh about Melodrama, I don’t think it’s terrible. I do love Sober.

The album is really good. Some really cheesy over-written stuff like Purge the Poison, but Highly Emotional People and Goodbye are up there with Obsessions/Numb, and Venus Fly Trap and Ancient Dreams are instant classics for her.
