I've just finished listening to this entire album, and you've really got to hear it. It's pure outsider art - fucking brilliant. Makes Peaches and Le Tigre sound like Taylor Swift. Seriously, here's the Spotify link, judge for yourself. I haven't heard anything this alienating in years - the Autotune abuse is so over the top and jarring, the lyrics are so disconnected and seemingly random, there's no way this happened by accident. This girl (because I think she produced this herself, I can't find credits anywhere) is some kind of insane genius.

i'm always hoping people go back to the 2 minute single. and definitely in her case. it makes the dementia more concise and easier to focus on.

Did she just leave autotune on its default setting or something?
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 19 August 2012 02:25 (9 months ago) Permalink
the autotune is really the least weird thing about it, lots of people have made more raw/amateurish use of it the last of people. the words and the random meter are just bizarre.

super interesting thing about it is that it really is an audible lesson in what autotune can't fix. compare this to the flavor flav single from a few years back. flav can't sing for shit, but he has the basic idea down - he just has bad pitch. he sings the song, they autotune the shit out of it, now when he sings "deeeeep" it sounds like a robot hitting the note. on this, her leaps are so far from the actual melody that AT or melodyne just corrects to something near it, and it's still audibly wrong. then they build the track around that, it sounds like. this is less outsider than...like those sound-library discs collectors get obsessed with?

oops here
You guys haven't even seen the video! She and her daughter visit the father's grave (if you're not a Teen Mom viewer, you should know that Farrah's kid's father is dead):
The whole song repeats twice - it's like the Residents' "Commercial Album" principle applied without a wink.

love how that song ends with the phrase "this is the best i can do," delivered with an autotuned shrug
― some dude, Sunday, 19 August 2012 02:39 (9 months ago) Permalink
not having seen the show & having only these to go on I gotta say there's something in the earnestness of her delivery and the unrevised bluntness of the lines that's kind of moving in the way some GUYS I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING ABOUT THE WORLD hardcore used to be, these lyrics that'd be like THERE HAS TO BE! A BETTER WAY!
at any rate enjoy it while you can, by this time next week you will be as sick of this as you got of Rebecca Black

I'll have moved on to something else for sure, but this is a completely different kind of kick for me. Rebecca Black (who I never got even momentarily interested in) was a girl trying to make pop music and mostly failing; this is something else. I'm genuinely unsure whether this girl thinks she's making pop records which could be hits, or whether she's making some kind of bizarro confessional art-song. To tie it into something Scott said on Facebook, I feel like Editions Mego should license this album and put it out with cover art designed by Stephen O'Malley and see what happens.
― 誤訳侮辱, Sunday, 19 August 2012 02:47 (9 months ago) Permalink
yeah i mean the album is a soundtrack to her book right? i kinda wonder if she has any misguided pop ambitions or just threw it together as part of her media platform

The album is quite remarkable. As mentioned upthread, it really doesn't sound like it ended up being weird, abrasive and disjointed accidentally. Appalling music can certainly take on a strange avant-garde quality without meaning to but this sounds more deliberate and focused somehow.

this girl's persona on the show is completely tragic btw. a lot of legitimately bad things have happened to her (boyfriend dying, her mom is abusive iirc) but she's also kind of awful. her speaking voice is one of the least appealing sounds.

If you make a poll amongst middle class, single American moms asking them to do a hardcore video (anal included) for that amount of money I wouldnt be surprised if most of them said yes.
― Moka, Thursday, 23 May 2013 06:54 (Yesterday) Permalink
Regarding the straight up porn: at first the idea was to create it as an accidental sex tape leak but co-star James Deen refused to do it argumenting that if you want to do a sex tape you dont hire a well known pornstar. (I think he was hired per Farrah's request).
― Moka, Thursday, 23 May 2013 07:19 (Yesterday) Permalink
Also apparently she thinks she was the highlight of a lifetime for James Deen and that he has been stalking her and wants to date her. I dont know if she's seriously that delusional or she just loves saying idiotic things for the attention but I want to slap her. Hardly.
