at some point in recent months my impression of this guy has gone from 'purveyor of upper-middlebrow background music' to 'flipping genius', but i'm not quite sure how that happened

"Black Snow" has become one of my favorite songs of the year. I love that this album has caused so many about-faces!

really dig the new one... beautiful moments throughout, it flows well, and it's cohesive. never really got on with GoD, or R Plus 7, though this feels roughly like a blend between the two, with add'l timbres and generally honed in a bit. it does seem front-loaded, but that impression is only from 3-4 cursory listens

It does get a bit drifty towards the end. I enjoy it but with this kind of thing it takes a long time for me to get my head round it, though this one is more obviously listener-friendly than GoD (which I have ended up liking quite a lot)

there are a couple moments on this album that remind me of country pop. There are also several tracks that sound extremely similar to Frank Zappa's Civilization Phase III, an electronic album that was waaaayy ahead of its time.

just hearing Channel Pressure for the first time and holy shit is it good
are there any other records like this
― frogbs, Monday, 9 July 2018 02:50 (five years ago) link
I actually preferred the Games EP that preceded it, especially Strawberry Skies.
They also had these mixes of Italo Disco slowed down that were really great, the Heaven Can Wait series.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 9 July 2018 05:26 (five years ago) link
Yeah loved Games (tho the territory it was meaning is pretty run of the mill by now) whereas Channel Pressure never clicked

Anyone else see the Myriad show at the Barbican over the weekend?
I have to admit I had mixed feelings, I enjoyed it, but having seen him like 5 times now, it wasn't my favourite performance.
― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 12:13 (five years ago) link
Lucky duck. he's toured Europe way more than he's toured North America (not including the NIN/Soundgarden shows). I've only seen him twice: in July 2010 and March 2016. first was great, second was ehh... bummed I missed out on the Replica & R Plus Seven shows. Would love to see the Myriad show but afaik he's not touring that much right?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 July 2018 17:49 (five years ago) link
yesterday I saw him at roundhouse. i'm still overwhelmed. it's probably the best thing I've seen live. gotta love daniel lopatin.
― Nourry, Saturday, 9 March 2019 22:04 (five years ago) link
was it the 'Myriad' show or was it just him?
― flappy bird, Saturday, 9 March 2019 22:04 (five years ago) link
the 'Myriad' show. but a slightly different line up. he started with 'replica'. i died at that moment. and played 'chrome country' and 'boring angel'.
― Nourry, Saturday, 9 March 2019 22:54 (five years ago) link
it was the last myriad show, i think
Damn!
― flappy bird, Saturday, 9 March 2019 23:04 (five years ago) link
Was at it too. Boring Angel was fuckin' special. Didn't really get a sense of the Myriad thing, really enjoyed it nonetheless. His female keyboardist (Kelly Moran, I think) was amazing.
― in twelve parts (lamonti), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 12:04 (five years ago) link
yeah, i was very surprised with Kelly Moran.i confess i felt very emotional during 'boring angel'.

Yeah I need to find a better thread for Kelly Moran street promo team, it's so beautiful and lush, it's just exactly what I want from music right now.

Uncut Gems soundtrack (as Daniel Lopatin) is out now. I think the Good Time soundtrack was stronger, but this has some nice tracks.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 14 December 2019 01:25 (four years ago) link
why did he decide to release the sound on his own name?i have the idea that the good time ost was released as opn, but i may be mistaken.

It was

His soundtrack was definitely one of the highlights of the film for me.

that looks and sounds very cool! his soundtrack work has been so excellent recently, but i haven't really felt the urge to listen to them outside of the context of the films.

― ufo, Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:09 (three years ago) link
yeah he's a relic of the 10s imo, accelerationist art used to excite me but it jumped the shark with his 'music CEO' tour for AOE which went in one ear and out the other, far less than the sum of its parts. GOD is my favorite of his, it pushes the ugliness inherent in his aesthetic to the forefront and fuses it with the beta-as-alpha male musings that now seem so lame. five years ago i would have said he is the GOAT so, ... i'll probably return to some midpoint between the two, deep in the negative dialectic at the moment tho
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:12 (three years ago) link
i'm a little on the fence about him. every time I listen to R+7 I go through the same thought process..."this is brilliant" -> "nothing's really happening" -> "wait, it's over?". a think a lot of his albums are like that. but man sometimes they really do hit the spot
