No it's out that way too, Alex. Holler at me.
― heiswagger (rennavate), Friday, 17 August 2012 17:08 (thirteen years ago)
no i meant. it's not available for purchase.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Friday, 17 August 2012 17:10 (thirteen years ago)
i was LOOKING for it on legal purchase type places and it's not out. but it's been reviewed. which confused me.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Friday, 17 August 2012 17:11 (thirteen years ago)
probably means it'll be out next week? The reviews are in advance of the album.

hm. yeah. p4k confused me b/c b/c normally p4k reviews come out when albums do and not with advanced lead times. no?
yeah i think p4k wanted to make sure it was ahead of others on this one
― heiswagger (rennavate), Friday, 17 August 2012 17:12 (thirteen years ago)
which is cynical maybe but still
i tracked it down tho
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Friday, 17 August 2012 17:19 (thirteen years ago)
i really love the first & last tracks on this

Released on the 20th, apparently:

wau @ the guitars in "Night Light." It's like an early eighties Stevie Nicks song.
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:49 (thirteen years ago)
i'm still trying to digest this. some of this (mostly the tracks already released) are like "greatest shit ever" territory... but some of the album tracks fare better than others. there's a weird loudness to some of them that kinda puts me off. all that said, still easily my #2 album of the year so far.
― a hoy hoy heat (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:56 (thirteen years ago)
I don't like the title track as much as you -- it's all overtones.
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:57 (thirteen years ago)
what's your #1 J0rdan?
― Number None, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:59 (thirteen years ago)
i think it's a good opener... "taking in water" is probably the one i fuck w/ the least, and "no to love" is a bit on the nose
― a hoy hoy heat (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:59 (thirteen years ago)
xp frank ocean, pretty easily. new miguel & new xx albums are the only ones on the horizon that i can see unseating it
holy shit @ at the cello in "Something Inside."
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:00 (thirteen years ago)
dawn richard??
xp
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:02 (thirteen years ago)
dawn album is more in the 8-12 range for me probably
― a hoy hoy heat (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:03 (thirteen years ago)
sometimes i really don't understand your taste
― lex pretend, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:10 (thirteen years ago)
me either

dope song
― lag∞n, Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:30 (thirteen years ago)
in "Wildest Moments" does she sing "do wrongs no rights" or "two wrongs"?
The latter, I hope. It's what I've sung to myself for three weeks.
― a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 19 August 2012 22:54 (thirteen years ago)
it's definitely the latter

cool venue

I really want to like this, but I can't stop laughing at the Yacht-Rock guitar solos.
― my god it's full of straw (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Tuesday, 21 August 2012 10:14 (thirteen years ago)
nah, those are awesome
― Number None, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 10:16 (thirteen years ago)
They are awesome, yes, but so absolutely inexplicable in the midst of all those "been around the world ay-yai-yai" orchestral stabs that they are also hilarious.

gonna pop in and see her at rough trade east tonight

'Night Light' is the killer here, sounds like it could have sat in the middle section of the last Beyonce album.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 10:29 (thirteen years ago)
It sounded like Laura Brannigan to me. Not a complaint, BTW, it's just odd how sounds get recycled and reshaped. I'm just old enough to have heard those sounds move from cool to naff to cool again through varying cycles.
― my god it's full of straw (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Tuesday, 21 August 2012 10:42 (thirteen years ago)
some good songs on this, but ultimately it sounds too much like adele/florence with vocals way too high in the mix.
"night light" was the tipping point for me, and i like beyoncé, it's the british 00s pop vibe of this that bothers me.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:24 (thirteen years ago)
I often have a knee-jerk aversion to a lot of British pop/soul—there's something about the sterility of the production, the overloud-ness of the vocals and the general air of politeness that just totally puts me off—so I'm really relieved by how much I've liked everything I've heard from this album. Enjoying how tasteful and restrained most of it is (though the title track is maybe too cute by half).
No American release, though? I can't even find a stream of it anymore. Kinda odd that the American press is tripping over themselves to praise an album that most of its readers can't hear and might not be able to hear for some time.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:36 (thirteen years ago)
it's on spotify
― Mordy, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:38 (thirteen years ago)
Not in American, sadly (or at least not on my account)
― Evan R, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:42 (thirteen years ago)
i've got it and i'm def in america! maybe look again?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:42 (thirteen years ago)
oh, not anymore! weird. maybe they took it down?
try to listen to it thru this playlist? http://open.spotify.com/user/mordys/playlist/2WPKGFgC5xncEu6AfY5gTe
i threw it on there earlier today when it was available and i can still listen to it through there...
― Mordy, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)
Hey, that works! Thanks man! Great playlist, too
― Evan R, Tuesday, 21 August 2012 21:50 (thirteen years ago)
"Taking in Water" and "Something Inside" are one hell of a closing punch.
― heiswagger (rennavate), Wednesday, 22 August 2012 21:12 (thirteen years ago)
yep
