Me and my dad love these two. This new wave of lo-fi/no-fi goodness keeps getting better and better. It's all very "cable access performance".

I had high hopes for this but my goodness, is this ever the wrong end of the 80s for me
I do like the hook on the chorus, though, when her voice comes in and it's all pretty
it just reminds me of the "nightclub" scene in so many cop operas on telly in the late 80s

I assumed Nite-Funk as a one-off as well, but this news of a whole album is the kind of shit that gets me excited.

There is going to be a Nite Jewel thread on the roof of a building in my town in a couple of weeks and I'm pretty stoked.I just hope it gets some promotional help, or that the right few people tell their friends about it. It's the kind of event that could easily fly under the radar.

"Want You Back" is my favorite. I've only got a crummy rip of Good Evening, it'd be nice to hear that on vinyl.

you f o was pretty hard to get hold of though. some of the new one is revised versions of what was on it.

what was that? new alb??
― titchyschneiderhouserules (s1ocki), Thursday, 29 July 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link
I figured it was maybe tour only. I got one from them on the road.
― Trip Maker, Thursday, 29 July 2010 19:54 (thirteen years ago) link
that's how i bought teh first one
― titchyschneiderhouserules (s1ocki), Thursday, 29 July 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
tour only, uh huh. some of it was on a japanese 7" too i think. i liked another horizon the most. think stones throw are rereleasing her LP, too.

this teen inc stuff sounds like level 42. not a knock of course
― uptown churl, Friday, 30 July 2010 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
teen inc is good when they have more than 2 songs we should give them a thread

Forget You and I is gorgeous.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 13:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Weak For Me is perfect. The rest of the songs tend to get a little too moody and lost.
― coolsundays, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link
The newer stuff is much more consistent imo.
― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i hadn't been paying attention and missed this whole EP, but it's gorgeous.

i think i'm just waiting til the next LP to see if she's kinda jumped the shark in terms of ditching her woozy futuristic bedroom-synths thing, in favour of overtly celebratory eighties music. i like it all just as much, but it seems like a weird, deliberate step, that doesn't usually bode well for musicians.
the new one is pretty jiving anyhow

How many copies of Good Evening were made on vinyl? I wanna bid on one but don't wanna over pay.
― sarahsmiles, Friday, 21 January 2011 21:11 (thirteen years ago) link
^^a bunch, i thought?, in case you're still thinking about it. it's getting re-pressed on stones throw sometime, anyway.
she's collaborating with julia holter at the minute, which sounds like a good combo

it does go for crazy money though, yeah
Blatant self-promo: I'm DJing with Nite Jewel after their show with James Blake tonight in San Francisco. Shock is playing, too (new band w/Dan Judd aka Sorcerer also from cosmic disco outfit Windsurf).

thats good to hear, i've been wanting some new nite jewel in my life for a while.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
the ep & 12" were both v compelling in different ways, i thought. 'natural causes' or its remix popped up on shuffle a few days ago and really struck me. so nice texturally. i'm kinda curious to hear what the new one's like - i think because i assume it'll be hi-fi & lively, & so not bear the lo-fi, slo-mo & slinky characteristics that made me love the first one - but sorta feel like i'll just love it regardless. NJ are kinda special to me because i didn't listen to a lot of this kind of synth music beforehand, or only to some of the particular reference points it seems to swirl up, & so they maybe get extra credit for like concocting stuff they didn't actually invent. but yeah it thrills me that some is en route!

the clip above is terrific. it sorta sounded like live drums on another clip, but it was just her or ..?

Just her. The drums/rhythm track seemed to originate from her laptop.
