TBA, *Annule*

You can hear some Brinkmann influence, load up all the mp3 from his 12 inches at Juno and compare notes :)

Going by those samples at least TBA's stuff in this vein is actually a little more distinctly her than I'd have imagined.

Hello!

I am led to believe she has, basically, three new albums out??

and she even found time to make Ryuichi Sakamoto cry....

bump

i'm interested. i thought the TBA/TBA Empty albums were patchy but had some gorgeous things on them. i don't think i ever made it to the end of one TBH.

so she has a double album "size and tears" out on max.ernst and "the other" which is out on chain music?

well, one of these albums "The Other" is a relatively straight 13 tracks. The one mentioned in that xlr8r link above.

and the other package "Size And Tears / Alice In Wonderland" is the 2CD all-you-can-eat type.

I still listen to 'Anulle' a lot actually, though I might skip one or two tracks on the journey I will make it to the end often too it's kind of cumulatively sad/moving by that point I find.

how bizarre.

i missed the last bump and was surprised when i saw all three albums in the shop today! i think i might like the double disc one better from the soundclips.

still not heard... must do!

Yeah, they are all aces - the double one ended being my album of the year. Even if it is flawed, the emotional effect and the narration really got to me.

Quite like the (new?) track "Nor what will come" that is on her myspace.

"Size and Tears" is still an incredible unique album to experience and journey through, although it is admittedly trying to get through it all. And "The Other" is still my go-to listen for those weary, gray days when I'm yearning for something both cold and melancholic.

Wow, she (and Max Ernst) seem to have like no internet presence/promotion - only just found out she released a new album "Pending" last year which is sounding awesome. Plus there are four more new vocal songs on her myspace. She's so intriguing (mysterious?), I wish there was more information out there about here, or at least a lyric sheet available.

thanks for the bump on this!

I wrote the press release for "Pending," which came out on Laboratory Instinct -- it is indeed great stuff. Hard to come by, I think that most of the Lab.Instinct stuff sells in Japan? Worth looking for though.

Max Ernst is a magnificent label, they really deserve more attention from the blogosphere. I remember once reading TBA was a great example of communism in music, at first the quote struck me as odd but it sort iof makes sense when you hear a song like 'smashed' where every musical element seems to be echoing each other, doing the same work in their own element. Ok, I suck at describing it but I swear it makes sense when you hear the song in this context.

Oh look, more news: she has another album, "ForgetFulness," scheduled to come out on Monika later this year.

So ForgetFulness is out in March! And it's got 3 tracks from the What About Things Like Bullets EP from last year.

This video is pretty amazing, even if you don't care for the song:

Also, her gorgeous sing-spoken cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" has been slept on:

Gahhh, Forgetfulness is brilliant. It may be her most consistent record yet, and her sing/sung poetry has improved, along with her vocal presence. I know I am in a bit of an echo chamber on this thread, but thank you, thank you Earth for Natalie Beridze.

Have I really never posted on this thread? She's quite excellent...

Looks like her new ambient record, Between The Naps, snuck out in February as a digital-only release (it's available on Boomkat & Amazon)

I like a bunch of the unreleased stuff she's posted on her soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/natalie-tba-beridze) and she sung a couple of tracks on the last EP by Gatcha:
