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.
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 3 May 2010 22:47 (fourteen years ago) link
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:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffMZMya9Uhs
Also, her gorgeous sing-spoken cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" has been slept on:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKWKBeu49M

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)http://dadorecords.com/album/between-the-naps/
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:
