that's correct Alfred. The accents indicate an elongated vowel sound

whoa take her up to monto is really great. sort of like if all the weird sui generis organically sprouting ideas of hairless toys were pushed even further and the carefulness abandoned

like the surprise groove in "evil eyes" but happening all the time
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 August 2016 12:41 (seven years ago) link
it's all much more labyrinthine than the way most of the tracks on Hairless Toys would slowly unfold. i don't enjoy it quite as much but it's definitely an incredible 2 hours or so that have come from those sessions

This album just gets better and better. Lip Service is my current favourite. I keep getting it stuck in my head.
― Kitchen Person, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:19 (seven years ago) link
It really does get better and better.That bit in the middle of 'Thoughts Wasted' when the flutey noises start poppin' and the male vocal accompanies her is #1.
Serious contender for best of the year.

I seriously regret not seeing her in Chicago in November. I didn't take to Take Her Up to Monto as much as Hairless Toys, but I think I need to spend more time with it.

Love the moment on "Uninvited guests" where the devil may care slacker vibe turns into a gorgeous wide screen bridge. Roisin excels at these emotional shifts in songs, sections that change your perception of the narrative

dunno if people caught this news but roisin is on two tracks on the forthcoming dj koze album. one of them can be heard here:

are you referring to the DJ Koze tracks or has something been announced??
― joshywinty (josh), Friday, 16 March 2018 18:59 (six years ago) link
the DJ Koze tracks (which I still need to hear but that involves prying myself away from essaie pas)
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 16 March 2018 19:08 (six years ago) link
Definitely worth prying from Katherine. roisin can do no wrong but the album version of seeing aliens I’d probably better tbh (cut by 3 mins )

My 5yo watched some Roisin Murphy videos with me last night, and now she is a full-on fan. Especially enjoys the dresses, I think.

Yeah looks like it is - totally mistook it for roisin

that really does sound a lot like roisin though tbh

All My Dreams/Innocence, the first of four 12" singles produced by Maurice Fulton, is now available to preorder from @TheVinylFactory on beautifully artworked 12" vinyl here: https://t.co/pDdyiNNC4m Vinyl is released on 18th May along with the first of a series of visuals...— Roisin Murphy (@roisinmurphy) May 3, 2018
― groovypanda, Thursday, 3 May 2018 08:54 (six years ago) link
It was premiered on Nemone's radio show yesterday. It sounded really good - probably the most "pop" thing either of them have done in a good while.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 3 May 2018 16:37 (six years ago) link
that's out digitally now and both tracks rule

i can’t wait to make these singles my arbitrary album of the year
£20 for a single? £80 for an eight track album is taking the piss.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 5 May 2018 11:42 (six years ago) link
Of the two, I think I prefer 'Innocence'
― Jeff W, Saturday, 5 May 2018 14:53 (six years ago) link
I would bet this turns into an album, the same way Sequins did
― boxedjoy, Saturday, 5 May 2018 17:37 (six years ago) link
I'm just now listening to these
!!!
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 6 May 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link

There's nothing arbitrary about it, surely. When they're all out that's an album. I'm sure it will be sold as such post-vinyl release.

lol i briefly forgot that sequins turned into ruby blue so i trust y’all

The ep is good - very electro - do you like my tight sweater cubes
― Dyslexicon (Ross), Monday, 7 May 2018 05:06 (six years ago) link
I think I prefer Innocence but I also think at this point I prefer Maurice Fulton to Roisin Murphy
― boxedjoy, Monday, 7 May 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link
She reminds me of mike Patton in her dismantling of styles

Was loving that Seinfeld bass on house of glass remix so more of that on all my dreams is alright by me

another new about 32 mins into this:

Sounds a lot like Maurice Fulton's prior work with Kathy Diamond on Miss Diamond to You (2006).
― Microtransgressions as a Business Model (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 14:00 (six years ago) link
pointless anecdote but i met kathy diamond at a carboot fair last summer. would never have recognised her but she was selling a load of household things - furniture and stuff like that - and on the ground under a table i spotted a pile of about 20 records which turned out to be all the last remaining copies of her debut 12" so i was all 'ah wait a second, is this you!?'
― i'm surprised to see your screwface at the door (NickB), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 14:39 (six years ago) link
I always think of the first Kathy Diamond album as being very weightless and floaty in a different way to this. I love her, everything she sings on is instantly brilliant. What did she say when you realised it was her? I heard she had been very ill for a few years.
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 15 May 2018 15:41 (six years ago) link
oh i just asked her some fairly boring general questions about making music cos unfortunately my knowledge of her music is about as deep as an ant's bathtub. all that was running through my mind was 'oooh I seen your name! On ILX!'
