this songs not great. WAP was not very good, but ethereal numetal could work in theory.. im kind of scared that i gaslighted myself into liking art angels and im reluctant to revisit it...

Each song will be a different embodiment of human extinction as depicted through a Pop star Demonology....but enough about Man of the Woods.

Anyway, I look forward to this, Evanescence comparisons and all.
Hum. I got off after REALiTi (demo) although I loved her previous stuff... and it doesn't look like her evolution will pull me back in...

art angels still rules and while it's a little less consistent and cohesive than visions, the highs are way higher

““I see the polar bear and want to kill myself. No one wants to look at it, you know? I want to make a reason to look at it. I want to make it beautiful.” She wants the album’s iconography to include “pro-apocalypse PSAs” and a shoot in which she sits naked at a table a la The Last Supper eating bloodied corpses of endangered animals: “Like, I’m eating an elephant head.””

I haven't read the full interview, but just going from that quote above, I think I see what she's getting at... seems maybe similar to how, in the Cold War era, the terror of nuclear annihilation [which has hardly diminished, btw] was "processed" and represented in many different ways through movies, art, narrative, etc.?

Like, without knowing (or even judging) whether her album is good, bad, or whatever, it seems like a very understandable thing for "an artist" to try to do.
― What's that Phish song that goes "Bag it, Tag it"? (morrisp), Wednesday, 20 March 2019 20:36 (five years ago) link
Yeah, it also doesn't seem that far away from what Oneohtrix Point Never did on his last album.

I mean, it’s not that her intentions are cryptic, the execution just seems irredeemably bad
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Wednesday, 20 March 2019 20:40 (five years ago) link
Iirc she described one of the themes of art angels (or one of its songs?) as a story about a transexual al pacino who was also a vampire, so I wouldn’t worry much about this one.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 20 March 2019 20:59 (five years ago) link
Did you know that at one time Al Pacino was rumored to be up for the role of Lestat in the 1994 feature film adaptation of Interview with a Vampire? Even though Tom Cruise ended up in the role, the studio apparently wanted to see what Al Pacino would look like as the character. They hired concept artist Miles Teves from Stan Winston Studios to give them idea of that vision. Teves said,"For a short time, at the beginning of the production, Al Pacino was rumored to have wanted the role of LeStat [sic]. I provided this image to help the studio make a decision. His presence as an actor, though an unusual choice, might have infused the character with more gravitas. Few command the screen like the indomitable Pacino."

lol this is so batty, does anyone genuinely think Claire Boucher thinks climate change is fake, or good, or not an actual problem? it feels super disingenuous and faux-naif to pretend that you actually believe she thinks this

She has this idea, though she thinks it’s likely too expensive to pull off: She’s sitting naked at a table like it’s The Last Supper, only she’s surrounded by endangered-animal corpses, and she—Grimes/Miss Anthropocine—is eating the bloodied bits of raw flesh. “Like, I’m eating an elephant head.” She’s got bigger plans even than that. “What I really want to do are these pro-apocalypse PSAs, where I light a tree on fire and I’m like—” she snaps her fingers, does jazz hands, “Climate change! Yeah. Or, I’m there eating zebras and elephants...all this terrible stuff.” Ideally, she’d like to see these PSAs on MSNBC.
so edgy
― Simon H., Wednesday, 20 March 2019 21:25 (five years ago) link
it seems kinda of obvious to me that there's a sense of helplessness w/r/t climate change from those who believe it to be an issue, bc so many forces are in opposition to altering the course. half this country, likely most of the rest of the world, etc...they either deny it or they don't care. i think her point about being guilted is a fair one too, since it's become a partisan issue and it owns the libs to gleefully cackle about rolling back clean air regulations and so on. if she wants to make an album such as this it makes artistic sense. idk.

The idea that we should not feel guilty about ruining the planet ...
The kernel of an interesting discussion is what is the extent something can be criticized by exaggerating it? A lot of acclerationist art romanticizes capitalism and uses this as an out and I’m more and more not buying it
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Wednesday, 20 March 2019 21:41 (five years ago) link

xp that is also not the idea of what she's saying. the idea would be to create the feelings inside people that spur the most positive action or maybe to trick them into feeling the guilt they would close themselves off to otherwise.
