'ten miles high' on repeat

Album sampler. Properly bonkers as expected. I feel like Róisín is now fully in her own world... and what a beautiful and mysterious world that is!

Róisín DGAF!
tbh I'm not into very much of this, at least at this early stage, but good on her
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 6 July 2016 03:55 (nine years ago)
It seems to lose a bit of momentum towards the second half. But the first four tracks or so have some incredible moments.
― daavid, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 04:02 (nine years ago)
I love that the bass is used so sparsely (both here and in Hairless Toys) but when it's there, it's fucking there. No messing around.
― daavid, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 04:12 (nine years ago)
this record is super fucking wacky. also "ten miles high" is a masterpiece

I don't have any fully-formed opinions yet but this album is amazing.
― ǂbait (seandalai), Saturday, 9 July 2016 00:42 (nine years ago)
New album is utterly bonkers.
― chap, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:38 (nine years ago)
It sounds like Disco Volante era Mr Bungle in some sections.
― chap, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:39 (nine years ago)
I'm not liking this new direction.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:39 (nine years ago)
I think I like it, but it'll take me a few listens to confirm.
― chap, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:41 (nine years ago)
She has too powerful a voice and presence to murmur over slow tracks.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:42 (nine years ago)
It's not all that though. I get the impression that they're the kind of tracks which will reveal their underlying structure and power over time.
― chap, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:45 (nine years ago)
"ten miles high" reminds me heavily of moloko
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:45 (nine years ago)
also idk if sustained murmuring is really a new direction for róisín
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:49 (nine years ago)
The beats tended to be kinetic ("Dear Miami").
I like "Ten Miles High" too.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:50 (nine years ago)
imo it's the best song from both albums
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:51 (nine years ago)
btw can someone tell me how to pronounce her first name? Is it RO-SHEEN?
I don't want to embarrass myself this weekend around fellow music nerds.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:53 (nine years ago)
iirc yes
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 13 July 2016 14:56 (nine years ago)
Nervous Sleep is pretty extraordinary (this may be the one that Alfred is thinking of most with his "mumbling over slow tracks" description)
― chap, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 15:06 (nine years ago)
Enjoying this a lot. It was less instant than Hairless Toys but I'm enjoying it more as a whole after a few plays. Some of it reminds me of a more mellow version of Ruby Blue.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 15:09 (nine years ago)
that's correct Alfred. The accents indicate an elongated vowel sound
― Number None, Wednesday, 13 July 2016 19:36 (nine years ago)
whoa take her up to monto is really great. sort of like if all the weird sui generis organically sprouting ideas of hairless toys were pushed even further and the carefulness abandoned
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 11:24 (nine years ago)
^^^ yep
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 August 2016 12:40 (nine years ago)
like the surprise groove in "evil eyes" but happening all the time
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 August 2016 12:41 (nine years ago)
it's all much more labyrinthine than the way most of the tracks on Hairless Toys would slowly unfold. i don't enjoy it quite as much but it's definitely an incredible 2 hours or so that have come from those sessions
― ufo, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 13:03 (nine years ago)
This album just gets better and better. Lip Service is my current favourite. I keep getting it stuck in my head.
― Kitchen Person, Sunday, 14 August 2016 23:19 (nine years ago)
It really does get better and better.That bit in the middle of 'Thoughts Wasted' when the flutey noises start poppin' and the male vocal accompanies her is #1.
Serious contender for best of the year.
― mr.raffles, Tuesday, 16 August 2016 13:52 (nine years ago)
Fuck, she's brilliant.
― Ross, Sunday, 30 October 2016 05:11 (nine years ago)
i know right?
― piscesx, Saturday, 7 January 2017 00:32 (nine years ago)
I seriously regret not seeing her in Chicago in November. I didn't take to Take Her Up to Monto as much as Hairless Toys, but I think I need to spend more time with it.
― Wozniak on Kimye's Baby (jaymc), Saturday, 7 January 2017 07:52 (nine years ago)
Love the moment on "Uninvited guests" where the devil may care slacker vibe turns into a gorgeous wide screen bridge. Roisin excels at these emotional shifts in songs, sections that change your perception of the narrative

*roisin
are you referring to the DJ Koze tracks or has something been announced??
― joshywinty (josh), Friday, 16 March 2018 18:59 (eight years ago)
the DJ Koze tracks (which I still need to hear but that involves prying myself away from essaie pas)
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 16 March 2018 19:08 (eight years ago)
Definitely worth prying from Katherine. roisin can do no wrong but the album version of seeing aliens I’d probably better tbh (cut by 3 mins )

My 5yo watched some Roisin Murphy videos with me last night, and now she is a full-on fan. Especially enjoys the dresses, I think.

isn't that Gladys Knight's voice?

Yeah looks like it is - totally mistook it for roisin
― after party for the apocalypse (Ross), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 20:34 (eight years ago)
that really does sound a lot like roisin though tbh
