hahahahaha ... i knew she was slow playing the non-country stuff. this gives me great hope.

song sounds good but I don't think the lyrics go to well with the vibe
― niels, Thursday, 22 March 2018 17:27 (six years ago) link
"High Horse" makes it two for three for me

That's like Phoenix doing country.

yeah the first few seconds sound like air france or something

lol otm

a bit 'Love at First Sight' too
― omar little, Thursday, 22 March 2018 18:41 (six years ago) link
this song is def an outlier on the album in the sense that it's her doing something experimental in a very specific way. the album in general more or less sounds nothing like the other two but in ways that i think are more natural & organic. "high horse" does give an idea of how fun the production on the album is tho.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 March 2018 19:05 (six years ago) link
love at first sight was what i thought of too or daft punk...it gives me country futurism vibes through its use of country signifiers which is funny
awesome song
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 22 March 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
I meant through its use of RETRO signifiers. not country
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 22 March 2018 19:08 (six years ago) link
its odd how certain retro signifiers convey 'futurism' in a country space, what i mean

This is kind of what I'm hoping Kylie's Golden will sound like?

definitely get J0rdan's comment re. "high horse" after my first listen. phenomenal album still though.
― ripersnifle, Monday, 26 March 2018 14:15 (six years ago) link
album is good but jesus if i have to see one more comment about "transcending country"
― lowercase (eric), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:27 (six years ago) link
oh good i'm glad i don't read the internet
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:29 (six years ago) link
I haven't seen much of that crap yet, to be honest, and NPR got Jewly Hight, one of our best writers about country.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:30 (six years ago) link
or should I say "best writers" because she transcends country
her writing on this album definitely made me check her other articles
― niels, Monday, 26 March 2018 14:33 (six years ago) link
yeah, she's great!
― ripersnifle, Monday, 26 March 2018 14:35 (six years ago) link
the sound of this record is so rich
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 26 March 2018 14:38 (six years ago) link
love the fleetwood mac groove and gleam on "lonely weekend"
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 26 March 2018 15:24 (six years ago) link
taking the moment to give Pageant Material another chance & it's much stronger than I remember. I get annoyed by the attempts to redo "Follow Your Arrow" ("Biscuits", "Family Is Family", to a less extent "Good Ol' Boys Club") but the rest of the album is outstanding.
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 26 March 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
i knew this album was gonna fuck my shit up when i heard the drum fill on “lonely weekend” for the first time
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 March 2018 17:00 (six years ago) link
there's an occasional clunky line but man this just /sounds/ so good
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 March 2018 17:03 (six years ago) link
I know I'll warm up to it sometime this week.

kinda interesting to imagine how thos would've been received if this was the follow up to "STDP" instead of "PM"
― ripersnifle, Monday, 26 March 2018 18:11 (six years ago) link
also been noticing a general trend of people having kinda "slept on" or overlooked "PM" upon release and only giving it a fair listen now, interestingly.
feel like - from a Building a Career Arc Narrative pov - it was a bit of a wrong move to follow up "STDP" with it. that said, i am one of the late comers to appreciating it, so i am clearly biased.
― ripersnifle, Monday, 26 March 2018 18:16 (six years ago) link
i always felt the 'PM' was way underappreciated. it's almost as good as 'STDP'.
― Nourry, Monday, 26 March 2018 19:26 (six years ago) link
maybe i am just excited but i feel like this sounds pretty much perfect
― alpine static, Monday, 26 March 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link
i don't normally post my writing on ilx but for fans of this record i think there's some good stuff in here about how it came together https://www.spin.com/featured/kacey-musgraves-golden-hour-march-2018-cover-story/
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2018 21:55 (six years ago) link
lots of good stuff, thanks!

can't wait to read that piece today, thanks j0rd

it's excellent!

it nails the oddness of shopping at any Walgreens that isn't your own.

I enjoyed that article also, thanks J0rd. Was "Grand Folks" a typo? A good one if so.
― Tim, Wednesday, 28 March 2018 13:34 (six years ago) link
hahaha. yes... i'm gonna fix that, thanks
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 28 March 2018 13:45 (six years ago) link
i need to spend more time with this to fully process it but for now it's safe to say "slow burn" is one of the most hauntingly gorgeous songs i've heard in ages
― dyl, Friday, 30 March 2018 05:27 (six years ago) link
Yeah, just saw her play that on Colbert and wow
― albvivertine, Friday, 30 March 2018 11:28 (six years ago) link
oh this record is so painfully sweetly good, i don't know if i can stand to listen to it all year

has anyone written a piece comparing this to the new frankie cosmos
