I haven't heard Blood Orange but I am arrandbey kru and I have nothing against this guy other than that terrible Solange song. I haven't really followed him that closely (never heard Test Icicles or Lightspeed Champion) tbh. This is one of my fave songs this year and he was involved:

yeah it's kinda meant to be suggestive of this bleary, droning, numbed torpid mumblecore inarticulacy indicating longing and heartache beyond words or whatever. simple is real cos of ~how hard it is to feel things~, to be decisive and put a fine point on it is too painful if not even by implication dishonest. the whole thing's of a piece, you got the washed out instagrammed visuals, the 80s comfort blanket for the emotional foetal position... blah blah the familiar prepack set of lies agreed upon
it's all v boring

war correspondent ≠ soldier iirc ;)
tbh if we're pulling irl full disclosure cards the perp had a thing with a girl i knew circa 05 so we were on passing terms for a bit... he was totally full to the absolute brim of shit but laying down more pipe than thames water as a result so can't knock the hustle i guess. (eagerly await now being told i'm butthurt because jel obv)
lol at feeling strongly enough about him either way to be throwing up wanker signs tbh, it's just just kinda ambiguous referential apologetically-shuffling-off-this-mortal-coil slop for ppl too daunted by the world to find art in it

Can we all agree that Circle, Square, Triangle by Test Icicles is still a legit 10/10 banger.

just to build on that earlier point, i mean i was gonna say this on the sky f thread but i'm p cool with having a flavour of circumspect disposable devdom as part of a balanced diet... it's a question of degrees though and if you begin to self-identify with it in an oppositional rather than complementary sense (so like believing the sky album an everlasting best of 2013 classic etc) then it does get to a pop-not-indie shambalalala type personal precious cubbyhole that requires summary clotheslining u feel me

i found most of those hooks to be p tepid at best & annoyingly condensed at worst (like, that crj song) so i prefer his songwriting stretched out as it is on the new one. still not totally converted yet but
― lowercase (eric), Tuesday, 13 November 2018 20:11 (seven years ago)
i just love the production throughout... i think it's such a warm palette and fits his songwriting better than arrangements w more structure

also this is otm
yeah i think it earns its digressiony qualities bc the swirls of melody and structure that appear and disappear are, individually, pretty much always commanding and interesting. (imo, again, i found his previous two solo records, despite having more strictly bound "songs," far less imaginative.) it's a pretty filmic record, tracks run into each other like a cut or dissolve between frames. he's less hemmed in rhythmically here too

Lovely. I had started losing interest in him, his work began to sound samey to me. I like how sparse this one is. Am I right in thinking that he usually builds the songs off of loops? Does he ever work with a live drummer?
