Really excited for a new album from her, but I'm sure I'm the only person on ILM that thought the last one was a minor disappointment. It seemed to be universally loved, but I wasn't as excited by it as I was by her debut.

The last one wasn't a disappoint, but it wasn't nearly as entrancing as Marry Me.

Wow. Yeah. "eyefucking". Great.
And you guys have a problem with how *I* talk about, say, Patrick Wolf on this board?

I have absolutely no problem with how you talk about Patrick Wolf, so long as you agree that he's mind-blowingly pretty and totally fuckworthy.
But, yeah, while Annie Clark is v. attractive, the proper focus should totally be on the fact that she is a total musical genius.

I'd assumed DL was going "great!" at the cover rather than the weirdo posting above him.

I should probably go back to the last album, I liked it but it never quite resonated with me.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 20:07 (1 year ago) Permalink
after seeing this thread i relistened to the last one again. i loved it before, still loving it.

Aw, Alex, I've come around on Patrick Wolf, but this isn't the thread for that.
I've just realised I've never actually listened to Marry Me. Which is completely remiss considering how much I loved Actor.
So it's like I get a brand new album now instead of having to wait for one!

Quick trainspotting question for the ILX brane:
The descending vocal part in the intro of this new song, "Surgeon?" It's referencing a big string melody from some kind of soundtrack, something John Barry-ish, or maybe 60s sci-fi -- something I remember mostly because it was prominently sampled as the breakdown of a rave/hardcore track at some point. It's sort of bugging me; anyone recognize those first two lines?

I would absolutely love this song if it wasn't for the lyric repetition part at the end of each verse phrase. Feels so unnecessary to me for it to happen eevvvvrryy time like that
― Deverly (Bangelo), Friday, 12 August 2011 22:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
That new song is incredibe, best thing I've heard all year. Loved both her albums I'm now really excited about the new one.
― Kitchen Person, Friday, 12 August 2011 22:44 (1 year ago) Permalink
Actor was a weird album for me - I could tell it was good and not unpleasant to listen to but for some reason I could never really engage with it. Listening to Surgeon now and it's gorgeous... not sure about the prog workout at the end though.

Another really great song from the new album. The video is really good too, very creepy.

I think I might get quite militant about championing this new album. Absolutely wonderful. Everything I liked about the last one, only moreso.

― Kitchen Person, Friday, 2 September 2011 01:38 (1 year ago) Permalink
Streaming on NPR right now. There is sounding really good so far, some really kinda wtf moments too. On first listen I'm liking this more than Actor (which, I know I'm alone on, but I thought it was a minor step down from the debut).

There's like several songs with these weird-ass moments with like spacey-synth and guitars that wouldn't have sounded out of place on that Destroyer album.

Five tracks in and it's breaking my heart to hear such a lovely voice being wasted in the service of such useless deliberate indie shambolism. That enormous fuzzy bass noise she uses on everything is horrible.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 17:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
Too many annoying Fiery Furnaces style "ooh look at me" tangents as well.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 17:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
Difference here is that Fiery Furnaces often forget the song and never come back to it, where St. Vincent always does.
Also, what the hell does "useless deliberate indie shambolism" mean?
