that "artificial intelligence" song upthread is really nice. the synths are very nostalgic to me. they remind me of joe jackson or something. or like 80s yes.

Love this. Heard from folks who saw her in London that it was a bit dull live, but I guess I can see it might. Great stuff though.

I had high hopes for this but my goodness, is this ever the wrong end of the 80s for me
I do like the hook on the chorus, though, when her voice comes in and it's all pretty
it just reminds me of the "nightclub" scene in so many cop operas on telly in the late 80s

There is going to be a Nite Jewel thread on the roof of a building in my town in a couple of weeks and I'm pretty stoked.I just hope it gets some promotional help, or that the right few people tell their friends about it. It's the kind of event that could easily fly under the radar.

Weak For Me is perfect. The rest of the songs tend to get a little too moody and lost.

i think i'm just waiting til the next LP to see if she's kinda jumped the shark in terms of ditching her woozy futuristic bedroom-synths thing, in favour of overtly celebratory eighties music. i like it all just as much, but it seems like a weird, deliberate step, that doesn't usually bode well for musicians.
the new one is pretty jiving anyhow

How many copies of Good Evening were made on vinyl? I wanna bid on one but don't wanna over pay.

^^a bunch, i thought?, in case you're still thinking about it. it's getting re-pressed on stones throw sometime, anyway.
she's collaborating with julia holter at the minute, which sounds like a good combo

― call all destroyer, Saturday, 13 August 2011 23:30 (1 year ago) Permalink
the ep & 12" were both v compelling in different ways, i thought. 'natural causes' or its remix popped up on shuffle a few days ago and really struck me. so nice texturally. i'm kinda curious to hear what the new one's like - i think because i assume it'll be hi-fi & lively, & so not bear the lo-fi, slo-mo & slinky characteristics that made me love the first one - but sorta feel like i'll just love it regardless. NJ are kinda special to me because i didn't listen to a lot of this kind of synth music beforehand, or only to some of the particular reference points it seems to swirl up, & so they maybe get extra credit for like concocting stuff they didn't actually invent. but yeah it thrills me that some is en route!
