NITE JEWEL thread

Thks mizzell! lovin' it!

he's been dropping her name a bunch. makes so much sense now.

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".

stop smoking that shit for once

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

But that shit is bomb, Shasta...oh so bomb.

good evening being reissued on stones throw?

also nite funk= whole album! (sorry if that's old news but i just assumed am i gonna make it was a 1 off)

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.

Nite Jewel show.

weird! i was just trying to think of nite jewel driving last night, keep meaning to investigate

"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.

new ep comin'

woo at tonight
makes me want to walk down the street shadowboxing like a dick

YOU F O sort of came and went without anyone noticing it seems.

new song "am i real?" w/ teen inc is really good:

http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/off-the-record/nite-jewel-teen-inc-am-i-real-mp3/

speaking of teen inc, they rule. "fountains" is ridiculous:

http://teen-inc.net/

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??

I figured it was maybe tour only. I got one from them on the road.

that's how i bought teh first one

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

teen inc is good when they have more than 2 songs we should give them a thread

oh cool someone tell them

nose goes

Forget You and I is gorgeous.

Weak For Me is perfect. The rest of the songs tend to get a little too moody and lost.

The newer stuff is much more consistent imo.

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.

^^
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).

8/10/2011 Nite Jewel plays Kraftwerk’s Computerworld at Hard Rock Cafe (Hollywood, CA)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p2MrgTVY9A

gonna keep propping up this thread because ^^^
her new rec is done i think

thats good to hear, i've been wanting some new nite jewel in my life for a while.

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!

I was at the Computerworld show. Was v. cool

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.

Any news?

What happened to Nite Funk/Dam Jewel???

Also why isn't thread like 10 times as busy???

Jamming this all the live long day
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPK1NsAQYxU

She should work with Sasu Ripatti next

also uh oh

She has collaborated with Julia Holter and Cole M.G.N. of Haunted Graffiti, curated two exhibitions at the Tiny Creatures gallery, and performed the work of Michael Pisaro. She was a philosophy student at Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles.

Did Max go to school w her? CAN THE SUBALTERN SPEAK?

oh ADAM

MAX...hello

Any news?

What happened to Nite Funk/Dam Jewel???

the NJ record is done & occasionally people on twitter are all omg you gotta hear this!, but there's no release or anything, yet.
& yeah at jamming it goes through my head on repeat -- the dam funk remix particularly, and 'natural causes'. nj is so slinky.
i think nite funk finished an ep, idk what's happening with it though.

her & j holter play with linda perhacs semi-regularly, now, too, i think. oh & there's this -- http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12440-see-blind-through-ft-ramona-gonzalez-of-nite-jewel/

Every once in a while I listen to "Want You Back" just to remind myself it's one of my favorite songs of the last whatever many years. More plz.
