Sleigh Bells: Treats

yo alex they're playing with die antwoord for pop, eh?

I think my early faves are "Infinite Guitars" and "Rill Rill" and maybe "Crown on the Ground".

I like every song on this album but "rill rill"

i feel since last summer of the internet putting up anything that "evokes summer," this year there's now so much of the stuff that quality control has gone to shit, and "rill rill" is the one shining beacon of truth and real summer pop

"rill rill" is the only song on the album that i really like

Um...yeah, last I heard, samosa it was w/ die antwoord but then the tour announcement through p4k or whatever had different people listed. unless there are two shows. i'll double check w/ people and get back to you when i'm sober.

Rill rill is like the classic puff daddy definition of not doing anything with a sample and it's annoying to see the indie brigade who dogged puff for "I'll be missing you" get so hard behind it.

Maybe if puff put a "chillwave/anco/summer" filter on the police?

you're still pissed about indie brigade doggings from 1997?

Rill rill is like the classic puff daddy definition of not doing anything with a sample

what's the sample in rill rill?

Funkadelic's 'Can You Get to That'. Sure it's not super-ingenious sampling, but they're completely different songs, so I'm fine with that.

i was not into the demo version of rill rill but i like the final version a lot.

what a "Rill Rill" ripoff

Okay I get it, this is seriously good. It's so wrackingly heavy yet so sing-song pop!

Masonic Boom would like this if she's around.

glad so many people are liking this. for some reason, i figured there'd be more backlash than love.

not sure why people need more slow loud, distorted mushmouth (albeit with updated drum programming) in their lives, but I have enough of it from the 90s that I can't really throw stones. I mean "rill rill" is the one shining beacon of truth and real summer pop reads like indie crack talk to me, but you know, people were saying that about Olivia Tremor Control probably.

whatever happened to summer pop titans United States Of Electonica?

i think people might be more okay with "i'll be missing you" if it was some dope summer pop like "rill rill" instead of a cheap and overly maudlin tribute to a dead dude

they do like "rapper's delight," though i still think this "dope summer pop" definition for "rill rill" probably has no validity outside a smattering of dorm rooms and williamsburg.

yeah you might be right -- that was personal opinion anyway tho

Pfork went over the goddamn top calling every chillwave song "summer music" are we gonna do this every year now?

Who are these people who have "summer songs." I listen to the same music YEAR ROUND. Just imagining some clown "summering it up" on his porch listening to sleigh bells and drinking a corona in wayfarers makes me want to puke

this is otm

on the other hand, you can't deny that some music sounds better in the summer! and some in the winter.

not me, I'm bumping Liquid Swords at the beach right now

(or actually bumping Kelis in my bedroom, I should probably get out)

it's windows-down driving music and i have no comprehension of ppl who don't change shit up with the seasons

I keep my Pitbull CDs in my shorts because i won't need the former until I pull out the latter

yeah, i don't drive and even when i did, i put on the air conditioner

wld not complain about being that guy since he's driving a vintage ferrari

Also I swear that opening drum roll from Riot Rhythm is a sample from something..

Also for something with fingers so many RnB or dance pop pies, the guitars on this thing are absolutely epic. Seriously the second half of Infinity Guitars (!!!!) is like head-explode Super AE uber distortion!

Also, this can be my quasi-MIA record of the year, with all the so-so reports coming in of '/\/\ /\ Y /\'

my very nonscientific impression is that you're overstating the degree of "so-so reports" about the new mia album.

I PREDICT AN 8.8 BNM

Come on it might as well be 'so-so' if it's weaker than Arular or Kala.

mods, please replace the number score in my prior post with whatever rating '/\/\ /\ Y /\' actually gets from p4k.

then please delete this post. thanks.

that link I posted was the saddest thing I read all week :(

actually definitely not...it's just I'm such a believer in her first two albums, and I'm not looking forward to having to defend her when all this backlash to her music comes in.

ehhh perpetua can be pretty off. plus he is "reviewing" the crap-quality leak from last week, which seems weird.

what the fuck dude

i mean are people no longer entitled to recognize qualities in music, and listen to whatever music they want when they most feel like it? are you just going to be vomiting regardless? these are the questions that i am pondering

also it doesn't mean they don't listen to that shit year round, it's just the finer qualities of some songs are magnified when married to sun and heat and rolled down windows. stuff that's particularly conducive to being loud and outside.

"there is no such thing as summer music" is the weirdest opinion for a thinks-about-music dude to have, like to the point of wondering whether you are high or something
