FKA twigs

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.

arca thing was to say he was not pound for pound as skilled as young chop

apples, oranges

right, hence the "entirely diff producers stylewise" caveat below

damn it why did i think it was clams

that floated around as a rumor for a couple of days before CC debunked it on Twitter

Pretty much with deej on this. I like Pendulum a lot tho

clams is on 'Hours' along with dev hynes (and apparently haynie too)

her contrasting bridges/middle eights are so key to this album - they really provide a focus to some songs that would otherwise just be about sound design. "how would you like it if my lips touched yours", "how does it feel to have me thinking about you", "feel your body closing i can rip it open" etc

Yeah I feel like the real emotive momentum of a lot of these songs is in the bridges - Two Weeks especially.

She's like a broken Anita Baker singing at you from a far so you can only hear parts of her

That makes it sound pretty cool.

has anyone heard the bonus tracks off this + are they good

I didn't know there were any, let alone FOUR of them! :D

Wait, FIVE of them!

Oh wait, the Japanese bonus tracks are the contents of "EP1".

and this one it looks like:

oh lol

i hope twigs & inc do more stuff together

There is one bonus track that came on a 7" with vinyl copies of LP1, though, but I can't seem to find a stream of it online that hasn't been pulled down.

isn't that the one i just posted?

FKA x inc. actually doesn't have a title (it's just listed as "FKA x inc."), but the song on the 7" is titled "One Time."
