FKA twigs

she'd kill tony the tiger with some sugar-fueled crane kicks, obvs.

album is still flames idc how many commercials she appears in.

lol is that the corniest bit of musician-product synergy since

That was a fast sellout.

Damn millenials.

thnx fka googs works gr8

on that brief note can we just say how jay elecyarmulke is...maybe...not...that...good...and will never be that good even if he puts out the album he's never gonna put out *runs from backpackers at lightspeed*

is brian depalma going to get co-production credit or is this one of those 'curated reblog' type things

Thought this was really cool

"Give Up" has become the secret heart of the album for me, although I like the contradictory mishearing I first came away with in the chorus more than the actual lyrics:

Just nod your head and give up
I'm not gonna let you give up, babe

Never noticed how "Video Girl" outros with metronome from "Water Me".

She was on the Jimmy Fallon show the other night, and I just saw her in DC last night at a packed sold out show. Impressive stage presence and dancing and her r'n'b meets Kate Bush vocals with her 3 member band adding electro/hiphop & whatever percussive sounds & more on synths, drums & bass (switching around ). Plus a good light show. Only criticism--Some of the songs sound a bit samey to me though (both melodically and rhythmically)

thats a pretty dope performance - lol i think it might have either broken jimmy fallon's brain or caused him to spontaneously orgasm or both

just been listening to the album for the first time in a couple months and it really holds up

Yeah it was a p good performance

Kinda wish she had used some more backing vocals or even brought along singers

the fabric dancing is amazing, i wonder if it's just a matter of turning fans on and off at different times?

pretty brave as a firs ustv appearence considering it looked like it couldve got wrapped irretrievably around her face at any time

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/nov/30/-sp-fka-twigs-interview-lp1-two-weeks-video-girl-robert-pattinson

the jools holland performance she did of that same song earlier this year was better than in the fallon video, where her singing sounds pretty weak (not totally sure what the writer was seeing, though maybe his eyes were cloudy from all the sobbing he did with twigs). excited to see her live next year, though yeah, a lot of her songs are pretty samey. hoping that for lp2, her songs get a bit more distinct.

interesting interview. nice to not read anything stupid about how she 'gets sex', even that has now just become how she 'gets relationships', albeit ones with famous movie stars.

*even if that

i think i've recognized that the songs i like best on this album sound like james blake (whose name hasn't been mentioned anywhere on this thread prior?) and now i'm really hoping they do something together

I've pretty much ignored James Blake; which songs on LP1 sound like his work?

It's a trap!

lol

i love james blake tho' i dig it's not for everyone. You've managed to avoid retrograde till now dan? it was his single off the last album, one of my fave songs of the year and seems like the sorta thing you might like.

Lights On / Two Weeks / Numbers / Pendulum are the songs i like on the album and they've got similar mouthfeel imo

tbf I'd never listened to JB's second album. That's a good song.

I like Blake and Twigs. A collab would be pretty cool, but honestly, she's got a lot of people on her production roster already!

personally holding out hope for twigs to do something with Lone, Machinedrum, Cooly G or CREEP

second album is pretty lean for great tracks tbqh but i will ride for these two as well

Lone, Machinedrum, Cooly G or CREEP

basically

it's worth going back to. if I only get one shot for you to click a track, try this one:

also love the early dubstep production work; this is aaliyah heavy if that's something you can dig

his first 3 eps are still gold, everything since has been combining & refining those elements.

Finally listened to this album, trash imo

xpost the sort of nuanced and measured opinion one would expect from the world's foremost chief keef apostle

I think James Blake took it to another level with Overgrown and that it's significantly underrated. It seems very cohesive and well thought-out to me, and with it's peculiar vocals and melodic/harmonic choices it doesn't sound like anything else out there. I have hopes that he makes another big leap with his next project

eh I can agree on that to a certain extent. when made by young chop they are, arca isn't that good

whoops ilx mobile posting error toggling between ILM and ILH

deej

i mean

in what context are you judging this as"trash"

xp Arca only produced two tracks and helped on a couple of others. There are seven other producers. The fact that it all sounds so cohesive is down to twigs so let's not credit one producer dude with all her beats.

im just being a hater its not for me.

xp i love this album, the arca thing was to say he was not pound for pound as skilled as young chop IMO but i also was under the impression he produced most of LP1 aside from a few things (like two weeks, which i knew was a clams beat). his work on lp1 is still good

(also they are entiiiiirely different producers stylewise, stating the obv)

'two weeks' is not clams at all, it's credited as twigs + arca + emile haynie.
