yeah I dunno, not into this at all

Thought the same at first, but warming to it.

Feat. Anohni. Prurient's apparently on the new record too.

"Black Snow lyrics inspired by The Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, published by Time Spiral Press (2015)"

I have never heard of this and it is... something

ccru had a number of notable alumni/associates, not surprised!

there are a few people around here who could probably elaborate on that better than myself

Video > song

cool song

Sounds like the album has several ballads like this

basically the same chord progression as "praying" by kesha lol. i like it though. similar aesthetic to garden of delete, but less agro and more whimsical.

boneohtrix point iver

it reminds me a bit of his music with ford & lopatin. which i enjoy, but listen less frequently than OPN

i keep getting "wolves" vibes, rip kanye

Yeah, "wolves" is also what came to mind.

adore this song

It’s better than anything on GoD

nah, but it is good

Exactly

sticky drama was like my #2 song of that year so it's a high bar

Feel like he’s only a hair or two away from being as bad as Squarepusher at this point. A great shame.

Single sounds like some mopey drake robot shit

oneohtrix post malone

yeah i'm bummed out by all of this

I don't love the track, but I'm willing to check out the album.

i'm not a huge fan of his vocoder stylings but i still want to hear it in the context of the rest of the album.

For sure

p cool

A bit apprehensive about the CCRU ref, but the track is v. cool. Stoked for the album.

Track is dope. Really come around to it.

Defeated minimalist noise dry throat post apocalyptic “robot drake shit” ballad.

i like this song

full album art is great. partic the cd.

yeah, it looks fantastic. that's a lot of lyrics! not sure how i feel about that but we'll see

that is pretty sweet.

love the sound waves on the tracklists, border community used to do that

enhance those sound waves! we need to fully recreate the album from these images alone.

that CD looks amazing, holy cow

Lopatin's preferred format. Unsurprisingly. Also comes with a booklet, the LP doesn't.

Might buy my first CD in a decade.

I have a bad feeling about this one, and his trajectory as an artist... Nevertheless looking forward to hearing it soon.

dude's been shedding/gaining fans with each album from Returnal onward. that's been one constant.

I dig the “Ecco” graphic and its presumed reference to eccojams

Ecco harvest excess bondage

Come on Flappy you can't just drop this and not say *why* you feel bad about his "trajectory" as an artist.. Why the bad hunch?

Artwork is very special.

I think I said some stuff upthread. Just doesn't seem conceptually interesting or emotionally engaging - the singles, at least. Like I've said before the beautiful thing about Replica and R Plus Seven are that they are brilliant conceptually/intellectually AND the music is utterly original and moving. Garden of Delete was a cool concept but it's not an enjoyable listen for me. This, I just don't know what to make of. Sounds like boring pop music. Definitely not going to ditch him though, and I can't wait to hear the record. I just... it's an awful thing when an artist you love and whose work you find compelling and exciting in ways that are ineffable or very difficult to describe... starts making work that's almost a parody or cliche take on what they've done before...

Sounds like boring pop music.

what up it's your boy post malone jammin out to the only station that's bumpin the latest 0pn noise dirge, mix 96.1

more like it sounds like NIN. or NIN-adjacent. which is pop adjacent. or pop on the spectrum. sort of

HOMIE WHAT THE FUCK

sorry that was too loud

homie, what the fuck

I'd say Replica and R+7 are 'warmer' album, and Garden of Delete suddenly turned out to be a lot cooler. If that is something akin to what you mean by the music being moving next to conceptual, I can see that. I'm going to have to draw a line at 'sounds like boring pop music' though, and (quietly) echo m bison ;)

it's pop on the spectrum. like "My Girls," or "Ping Pong."

I agree that Replica & R+7 are 'warmer' compared to GOD but that's not what I meant. It's so rare to have a musician that is making progressive, intellectually compelling work that can be mulled over and discussed at length that is also just beautiful music, thesis aside. With those two records Lopatin conveyed some really disturbing stuff about consumerism, technology, and nostalgia where the conceptual underpinnings reinforced the music and vice versa.

i'll just echo "homie, what the fuck" cuz i'm not hearing NIN or pop (outside of the use of autotune) in that Black Snow single at all

i'll listen again

i mean there are lyrics and a melody, but there's way more there pushing against a pop-sensibility than embracing it. parts of it make my physically uncomfortable.
