New from the DFA...

man that holy ghost 'stat on the wire' is a banger

ik,r?

Album is surely gonna turn up sometime soon?

i have a pretty short attn span and i'm abt 20% as excited as i would have been had they released it like a 6 months ago

That's a little harsh - I think they were kinda fucked up by Jerry Fuchs's death which put everything back.

yeah i guess :-(

i hear your voice in fragments darlin

new shit robot album is streaming here: http://www.dfarecords.com/promo/dfa2253/

awesome

"Take 'Em Up" is awesome indeed

this sounds pretty great

that Michoacan record. look, i like unconventional singers, but really if this is the absolute best you can do vocally then you really should be getting someone else in to do the singing part.

that tbd twelve is good though!

The Shit Robot album arrived in the post today. The basslines are so gloopy it's unreal.

WANT

The track with Alexis Taylor is better than anything on the last Hot Chip LP pretty much. And I really like that album.

love the peter gordon 12" (well, i got myself the aac's) - never knew that a collaboration with arthur russell would be on the flip. it's a riot.

Got that Peter Gordon 12" two days ago, it is so great.

Also, it'd be interesting to do DFA POX after 4 and a half years of thread inactivity. Don't know what I'd choose.

i think a lot would be fairly recent stuff, esp from last summer which was such a great dfa moment imo.

adore the fleetwood mac refs on HG!'s 'i know i hear'

curious to hear that Bruno Pronsato record

Is that the NDF thing? If so, it's a strange one (but very pretty). Very quiet, with a beat that sounds like a brush on a snare drum; sort of a hushed shuffle. There are some very indie sad-sack vocals on the top about running into a girl he used to know in the street or something like that. It goes on for ten minutes but doesn't build necessarily. There is an 18 minute Ricardo Villalobos remix as the b-side.

hmm. yes that's the one I meant. doesn't sound so great.

from your description I mean. I haven't heard it.

I like the NDF 12" but I agree it's confusing, as with a good deal of Pronsato's work it doesn't sit comfortably in a dancefloor set. The other guy in NDF is called Sergio and did that great Birds and Souls 12" on Spectral earlier this year.

I didn't mean to undersell it so badly, it really is pretty and unique. But by no means would it belong anywhere near a dancefloor.

The other element which I forgot about when I originally described it is that it has these very echo-y field recording style samples that almost sound like they were taped in a locker room or a warehouse or something.

It's all very spare. Even though it sounds nothing like it, it reminded me of that Pantha du Prince song with Panda Bear singing on it.

i like the NDF a lot

maxreax will probably be real into it

~smokes a doob & thinks abt internet homie~

bruno pronsato's "the make up/the break up" was the best thing to happen to electronic music last year

shit robot album cover kinda awesome

Ugh when is it going to leak?? DFA took the album stream down a while back for some reason.

the Shit Robot leaked many moons ago. there are only a couple good songs on it. the best on is the song Nancy sings on. someone please give her a solo LP on dfa. she deserves it.

I show it added to iTunes on July 20 so it must have leaked a day or so before then.

maybe it was a rip of the stream. it's not in the usual places so it's probably 160 kbps or something. I loved it while streaming at work but who knows.

The version i have is 320. Agree on the need for a Nancy solo album. You could get an all-star cast of DFA producers on there.

Ended up disliking the SR album after a few plays. The tracks where he does the vocals are seriously, seriously dull.

I think it's comfortably one of the best albums of the year. Simple Things especially is a beast. The only track I'm not fond of is "Losing my Patience" with Alexis Taylor. Outclasses the LCD album in my opinion.

As I think about it more and more, the Peter Gordon 12 is growing closer to my favourite 12" released this year. Don't Don't is, at moment, just sublime, just immense.

i'm liking this new shit robot quite a bit upon first listen, guess we'll see if it holds up after a few more but i already know and love "simple things" and "i got a feeling" so i suppose that's a good omen

sleeve of 'track five' is my favourite record cover of this year

song ain't half bad either

how is the ame rmx

^ awesome, based on samples. i need to acquire the full version ASAP

i like the orig mix a lot more than the ame

ha, seems odd but i already found a digital copy and i really dig the entire ame remix. comparing it to the original kinda doesn't make sense though, they aim for such different things. both are great

the ndf is great....and can totally imagine it on a dancefloor, just prob at 10am

^ justine and the victorian punks, "beautiful dreamer"

not mad on that actually...

i'm digging it!

didn't realize how little overlap there was between 'geneva' and this dfa love of life orchestra full length

also, looks like the other track on that 12" is an english-language cover of this...
