Listening now, 4 tracks in. I quite like this. Young Galaxy were a band I'd unfairly pegged as being vaguely peripheral Stars/Broken Social Scene adjacent inheritors due to their first LP being on Arts & Crafts. This takes the best of what I'd heard from them with gorgeous gorgeous Lissvik stuff. "We Have Everything" sounds like a disco-house remix classic waiting to happen.

their first LP
I loved "The Alchemy Between Us" which closed that record out, but thought the rest was kinda in one ear/out the other (and thought that about the entire second record). This new one is superb, thanks in no small part to Lissvik I imagine.

i think i like the dude's vocals better than the female ones but overall i don't mind either.
some dub/remix versions would be cool to hear though.

I agree with FITS, this would be miles better without the vocals. The female singer in particular is hard to listen to.

the vocals works sometimes (really like the interplay on 'peripheral visions') less so other times (cover your tracks) but i agree that a dubbier remix wld be rad

― lextasy refix (lex pretend), Wednesday, 2 February 2011 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
Peripheral Visions is easily the best vocal on the album. The woman's singing style is all 'i'm very important and saying something very deep and important'. B.S.E. would be an amazing instrumental closer but unfortunately it's a song i'll probably never listen to again.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 22:01 (thirteen years ago) link
this isn't the case of uh vocals thrown over music - the music/arrangements were created around the vocals, in large part by lissvik, without feedback from the band.
i think it's lovely - forceful, much more personal than studio's stuff - but if the vocals bug you don't misinterpret this as "young galaxy fucking with the music".
― sean gramophone, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Lissvik was incredibly successful using the same technique to produce Victoria Bergman's album so this is definitely a case of terrible vocals ruining otherwise spectacular music. I understand the process used but the downfall of the album is still the vocals, not the music. I guess it's Lissvik's fault for agreeing to use the vocals they provided. Also, echoing castanets are my new favorite sound.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 22:16 (thirteen years ago) link
The guy reminds me more than a bit of Kelley Polar - direct delivery, medium-thin tone, inconsistent application of vibrato, and good pitch. This is how most male singers sound before they get a lot of training and I like the effect. The woman's singing has an alt-rock tinge and a similar 'accomplished amateur' sound. I'm not sure what the problem is with either of them.
― skip, Wednesday, 2 February 2011 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
for me what's irksome isn't so much the sound of their voices but the lyrics themselves; they're dramatic to the point of parody.

lotta picky ppl in this thread. if the 'indieness' of the vocals is seriously ruining your enjoyment of this excellent music then I don't know what to tell you, except maybe grow a pair (of ears). but I suspect that at least a handful of y'all will eventually get over it and discover, once the stockholm syndrome sets in, that yr earlier dismissiveness was just the new 2k11 twist on the 'guilty pleasure' mindset.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:11 (thirteen years ago) link
i do blame him for agreeing to work with these people in the first place, rather than just making lovely instrumental music or maybe working with singers with a modicum of talent - tho iirc picking decent vocalists was not a studio strong point either
― lextasy refix (lex pretend), Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Lissvik's hand is definitely heavy in this. It's almost as if he's turned Young Galaxy into his own Vanity 6.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:14 (thirteen years ago) link
lex — I understand having "standards" but like... the vocal parts aren't demanding! and they aren't all that prominent in the mix! at the risk of cliche, they're 'just another instrument' — and I don't know what "singers with a modicum of talent" (presumably more than just carrying a tune, which, as skip points out, they both do just fine) would bring to the table, apart from the risk of upending the whole thing.
to sum up my beef in a single sentence: I feel like people here are reacting more to the perceived connotations of 'indieness' than to the actual music.
― proso_Opopoeia (bernard snowy), Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:32 (thirteen years ago) link
then again, I love the vocals in this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hg2qZLB5_Yso perhaps I am just an odd duck
having come of age musically in the laptop era, I guess I've always kind of associated electronic music with (the possibility of) charmingly amateurish singing — but I don't see it as "indie" at all in either intention or results
― proso_Opopoeia (bernard snowy), Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't know what "singers with a modicum of talent" (presumably more than just carrying a tune, which, as skip points out, they both do just fine) would bring to the table
well, what attracts me to the music is basically the blissed-out ~cosmic~ vibes it brings - the spaciousness that you can sink into. basically it creates this perfect mood. but the ordinariness of the vocals - the lack of reach and the lack of ecstasy in them - works against that mood for me, and kind of ruins it. (cf vocalists who i think have worked really well on balearic-sounding music - christabelle, kathy diamond, qzen...)
― lextasy refix (lex pretend), Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:51 (thirteen years ago) link
okay, that's cool, I can understand faulting them for "lack of ecstasy" if that's what you feel the music is calling for — appreciate you taking the time to elaborate yr position!
― proso_Opopoeia (bernard snowy), Thursday, 3 February 2011 12:55 (thirteen years ago) link
(... but I might have to disagree with you on "We Have Everything", which is easily my favorite track so far — I think the vocals there do achieve a level of genuine ecstasy)
― proso_Opopoeia (bernard snowy), Thursday, 3 February 2011 13:19 (thirteen years ago) link
The bloke's vocals are fine. Also, the two duetting sound good cf. 'visionaries', but yeah, it's just a shame that the woman's vocals are foregrounded at any point. Still I am sure I will make my peace w/ them
― Vasco da Gama, Thursday, 3 February 2011 13:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Having heard the first half of this I think you're guilty of misunderstanding what Lissvik and the band are attempting here. The vocals are totally appropriate for the music, vocalists actually SOUNDED like this in the 80s, on records that Lissvik is obviously hugely influenced by.
It's telling that the three vocalists you mention are all from the glossier and more disco-oriented end of the spectrum whereas Lissvik and Studio draw from naff 80s yacht pop and (on West Coast at least) post-punk as much if not more as they do from disco. The vibe is 'seaside wine bar' more than 'ecstacy'.
That said I'm not sure how much I like this record, the vocalists are almost too studied in their manner for the music and in there with the backing the whole thing feels a bit pastichey in a bad way.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 3 February 2011 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link
What I'm getting I think is that you like Lissvik/Studio more that most of what they're influenced by (which is often a bit naff, kind of cheesy, and amateurish as much as it's transcendent) and then when he goes and does something like this, which is totally consistent with his whole aesthetic, you try and rationalise out the bits that you don't like when they're really part and parcel of what he's been doing all along.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 3 February 2011 14:13 (thirteen years ago) link
if he wants to make wine bar music why can't he get sade-calibre singers in :(
― lextasy refix (lex pretend), Thursday, 3 February 2011 14:22 (thirteen years ago) link
Because he wants to sound amateurish! That's the whole point.

aaaargh @ the cult of amateurishness
― lextasy refix (lex pretend), Thursday, 3 February 2011 14:30 (thirteen years ago) link
Actually, I'd say less "amateurish" and more "democratic". The idea that anyone can get involved and you don't necessarily need to sound like Sade - exclusivity and Balearic vibes don't go well together.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 3 February 2011 14:32 (thirteen years ago) link
(As an aside, no one who reps for Waka Flocka Flame and early grime can really go "aaaargh @ the cult of amateurishness" with any credibility)
― Matt DC, Thursday, 3 February 2011 14:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Matt DC, you seem much more knowledgeable abt this than me, but we are basically in agreement re: the album's vibe — esp less "amateurish" and more "democratic". "cult of amateurishness" is precisely what I was trying to distance this from — they don't strike me as opposed (in principle or in practice) to expertise and polish, nor do their vocals set off my affectation-alarms; I think they're good singers who have given it their best effort (rather than e.g. cloying 'moose-whispering), and I find the end result aesthetically pleasing.

Standout tracks so far are 'High and Goodbye', which is a haunting, eerie and dark song with a piano outro to simply die for. And 'B.S.E.' which starts out like a Kim Wilde track, and undergoes a monumental transformation in the middle of the song... Wow. Such a great, fascinating record.

― Tim F, Saturday, 5 February 2011 03:25 (thirteen years ago) link
i want to like this record, i really do. but the truth is that there are aspects of the lissvik/studio aesthetic that i prefer more than what they're exploring here and i'll leave it at that until i give this a real chance to sink in (i came completely full circle on the little ones remix, so i'm definitely not ruling out the possibility of changing my mind).
annie lennox is a good comparison, and that makes me want to like this even more. especially since divisive vocals are so common amongst great balearic records almost by definition

it doesn't, but nor can you separate balearic from "the indie shit". In particular, "balearic" has heavy historical grounding in effete white pop-rock, which lends itself to indie revivalism as readily as disco revivalism.
Steely Dan don't have similar vocals to destroyer, but I'm just curious as to the limits of your aversion to (in this case only slightly) whiny white male vocals.

I've always thought that encoded in the concept of "balearic" was a kind of aesthetic redemption of certain kinds of stylistic "failure" - which is perhaps the most anti-Lex notion I can concoct (at least excluding notions about whiny white male vocals). Expounded on this here and here.

I've been loving this album the past month or so (helped by the great weather we've been having in the UK) but whenever I listen to it I'm inevitably left with a sense of yearning for Yearbook 3 and I don't think that's ever going to happen :(

The bigger tracks on the new album are spectacular, world conquering songs. In particular "Fall For You" which sounds like a more strident (lol this is young galaxy) take on The Tough Alliance's "A New Wave".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 10 April 2013 22:15 (eleven years ago) link
See also "Fever", "Out The Gate Backwards", "Sleepwalk With Me".
"Out The Gate Backwards" is on that Studio go Happy Mondays tip in a way nothing has been since the actual Studio album.

I've pre-ordered but have been looking almost daily to see if it's leaked as this is possibly my most anticipated album of 2013. Loved Shapeshifting and the little I've heard of this so far sounds great.

this is v good, and agreed with Brad and Tim - Shapeshifting always sounded lovely but it felt that for the most part somehow the songs weren't really linking up with the production so it just floated around being nice, this feels a lot fuller and more dynamic.

I think I felt this when I was first listening to "Pretty Boy", and I definitely still feel this way about "What We Want", but the songs are sonically diverse enough, and (this time) the songwriting strong enough, to get away with the fact that it's basically a 2007 record.

They were really good in Toronto tonight, despite Catherine suffering from a chest cold that prompted her to stop the set and ask the crowd if they thought she sounded OK enough for the show to be worthwhile - then gritted through another 10 or so songs like a trooper.
Fuck the loud, beer-clinking bros behind me, though. An unexpected nuisance, doubly annoying because the band was relatively quiet.

The first sample of the record arrives with lead single "Under My Wing," which Young Galaxy describe as being "about the failure of capitalism, the isolation of suburbia, and the drive to discover sensuality, connection, and a spark of life in the face of despair."
All my faves have become radicalized over time and it rules
― Simon H., Thursday, 11 January 2018 13:16 (six years ago) link
We want to say what we want to say when and how we want to say it. We own all Young Galaxy representations from this point onward, we are the generative sourceof all its emissions. There will be no spin, packaging or look we didn’t choose, determined by someone else’s worship of the almighty dollar/social media algorithm. We worship that deep consensus that comes with getting lost in music. We want to speak music as fluently as we’re able – by tuning in, listening, sharing coordinates, mapping the unfixed and unhinged places we all find ourselves at times. We wade in, fall apart, fail and hold up – articulate as a search for the right words for others trying to hold up, live and love. We found ourselves at a crossroads after our last album Falsework. We felt represented inaccurately through agents, labels, and other specialists in their fields because we haddeferred to their experience and therefore their values; we just focused on the music. But wehave been packaged wrong: It’s not accurate. We’re not nice. We are fucking kind. The truth is, we feel less and less interested in being represented by the music industry in itscurrent state. The routes of communication that we are expected to pump content into feel likesomeone else’s, and like its values, are commercial and superficial with no subtlety in itspreferred approach. Just sledgehammer. For us, art communicates best in nuance, vulnerability, and fluid interpretations. It can speak toand be made by outsiders, and can access counterculture in a way the industry machine cannot. So after more than 10 years in the music business, we ended many partnerships. As a female fronted act, popular culture has told us that we should be youthful, hip, and seductive. We felt anomalous in an industry that seemed intent on promoting The Rich, The New, The Wild. That’s NOT US. We own our age, our feminism, our human animal appetites, our role as parents, our grey hairs, rages and introspection. We call out from our autonomous, moving point in the dark because making music is a dialogue for Young Galaxy. We’re trying to reach others, we need to know where they are. But it’s pitch dark out here and experiencing it can make you hang in pieces, be as grizzled as we are, make you wake in desire, make you rage with pain or loneliness, so we have to call out in all the ways we have and can’t let someone else do it for us. We’ve now created and run multiple imprints to sustain our art, including our upcoming April 2018 self release of Down Time. Now, we collaborate on and co-produce all our music, artwork, photos, videos, merchandise, social media - the content and the cost of all we create is exclusively ours to bear. It is a site, an ever widening map of collective imaginings, dialogue and collaboration. So we’re calling out. We would like your support to be heard and we need your coordinates toNavigate.
