Slow Motion is really fucking horrible and so I'm very relieved it's not all in that vein.

this is great. listening to the first two songs (didn't really enjoy the ultra-compressed 'slow motion', tbh) i was afraid this could be an absolute mess, but thankfully it turned out to be a benign mess that works.
also, 'pulse of the city' (the song) is reminding me of something (most likely the overall feel of it, other than the melody), but i can't quite put my finger on it...

iirc there was one song on shafiq-en-afreeka that blew my mind. i don't have speakers/headphones with me rn but "lil girl" looks familiar?

"Uh Oh It's Love" always makes me think of Ultra Vivid Scene.

the "explode" thru "u know i want u" stretch is so glorious - love the sudden shift into twinkling electro on "the luckiest one"

Agreed.
He should do more slow jams like "You're The Only One 4 Me" IMO.

This album kind of eludes me. Feels all surface.

there's some good tracks but i'd like if it were a bit hookier

feel like people into om'mas would dig the new jesse boykins iii record http://www.npr.org/2014/04/06/299889937/first-listen-jesse-boykins-iii-love-apparatus
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 20:41 (ten years ago) link
I am into Jesse Boykins III so I expect to dig his new album.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 21:38 (ten years ago) link
yeah i like dude
― IKEA metaballs (Spottie), Thursday, 10 April 2014 05:02 (ten years ago) link
that jesse boykins record is lovely
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 21:04 (ten years ago) link
it's wonderful, deserves a bit more than to be in someone else's thread!
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 13:54 (ten years ago) link
the om'mas comparison is good i guess, it's less LOUD and a bit less immediately hooky
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 13:55 (ten years ago) link
Would people actually post in a Jesse Boykins thread? Don't remember much (if any) talk about Zulu Guru
― tsrobodo, Wednesday, 16 April 2014 14:21 (ten years ago) link
I couldn't get into Zulu Guru but loved the EP before that.
