Yeah so Jenny Death gets 8.1 but not BNM... perfect example of PF walking their top-down branding tightrope. Gotta appease the kids who align their indie identity with DG image marketing, but not unnerve the Pomplamoose set.

A WOC - and an electronic musician, no less (is this a first?) - gets a BNM today. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20450-dark-energy/
― bae sremmurd (monotony), Thursday, 2 April 2015 05:32 (eleven years ago)
no capt-save-a-fork here but just flipping idly through the BNM reviews it seems like females, electronic musicians and female electronic musicians are pretty well-represented in BNM. women of color who are electronic musicians less so, last one i saw was FKA twigs back in august. but they only bestow BNM like every other week or something?

I still want to know why the Vampire Weekend guy was cut out of the piece.
I assume because Batmanglij is of Iranian heritage and the others are South Asian?
― jaymc, Thursday, 2 April 2015 06:42 (eleven years ago)
oh cool I've basically spent the last week raving about that album to anyone who will listen
― The Reverend, Thursday, 2 April 2015 06:58 (eleven years ago)
That will have been known by the author. The line was too easily misinterpreted as throwing shade at Batmanglij and Khan, i think.

Yeah any indie track there is a dud; you've gotta go for something the crowd can sing along to. It's sports, a time for us to drop pretensions and share collective emotions. If you feel the need to be standoffish in that context you're beyond repair. Might as well give up and write for Pitchfork.
I'd go for "Friday" myself.

There's 2 "indie" bands on there, Led Savy Fav and Oh Sees which both rock and are catchy as hell
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 9 April 2015 15:02 (eleven years ago)
Lol at ilx no nothings acting like every band they haven't heard is like The Decemberists
I would like to know what Led Savy Fav sound like. Sort of an indie rock take on Dread Zeppelin maybe?

in a nutshell: belle & sebastian are going DOWN.
yes, I'm sure a Decemberists show evokes the same level of hysteria as a One Direction show.
