the new album is formally available today. Seems like maybe her most enjoyable album on first contact? "Dreams and Converse" slaps

all the love for this new album

This is terrific, definitely shorter on the pyrotechnics but it's probably her strongest collection of songs. Disco Dawn definitely the most intriguing of the paths previously not taken here.

this is good and nicely of a piece but i definitely prefer pyrotechnic dawn. not that this is without its flourishes. spaces is the one imo

Good stuff.

The disembodied voices on the title track are really quite affecting in a way I can't put my finger on. The Trapgerine Dream backing even more so.

Love this album.
But also it’s funny to think that after so long this is arguably her album that is most reminiscent of Last Train To Paris.

Brad otm. A friend and I assign each other albums to listen to every few weeks, and I've been wondering how best to introduce someone to Dawn. I think this is the one

First time through this. "Vultures" is lovely.

Damn, Dawn. Why did you have to pick a date when I won’t be in the country? 😥😥😥

Guys I just met Dawn Richard after her Glasgow show and it was INCREDIBLE. The show was amazing, she had remixed her whole back catalogue and presented it as a megamix including DDM and DK tracks and it was insane how much energy and charisma she had and how euphoric the music sounded. Then at the end she was hanging about so I chatted to her and she said she had actually spotted me dancing and singing along (!) and then she did a hilariously accurate impression of me (!!!). Then we took some pictures and she was like "nah let's do some silly ones" hence the posing but she was so much fun and easily lovable and I didn't think I could adore her more but here I am

I mean im also quite tipsy but this might be the best night ever
that's awesome!

nice :) I've been hearing reports that the tour dates haven't been very well attended though, which is a shame

The Glasgow show was in a ~200 capacity venue and it wasn't so busy that I didn't have room to dance properly which is always my fear in small venues
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 07:44 (five years ago) link
I mean i can understand why it isn't a big draw - neither of her previous bands were actually that successful this side of the Atlantic and she is still a very niche artist. Which is a shame because it was easily one of the best gigs I've ever been to and the intimate venue really worked for it
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 07:46 (five years ago) link
very rad
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:30 (five years ago) link
cool picture. disappointing that she isn't more popular (just what does 2000 ILX posts get you these days???) but those small gigs are usually awesome.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:46 (five years ago) link
vultures on london tonight was intense. really good gig.

new breed is such a good album. I haven’t been rinsing it like I did her previous albums, I just play it on the regular and it’s always an intensely satisfying listen.
― breastcrawl, Tuesday, 4 June 2019 20:28 (four years ago) link
otm. It’s casually brilliant in a way that makes it harder to rave about than say Blackheart

Like her best in this mode tbh but this seems a bit autopilot? Not bad.

jaaayyyzus how did I miss this album until last Sunday?! She's even weirder recording song with trad R&B underpinings.

spotify too

both great. guitar in "Die Without You" has a "Street Spirit" vibe imo

Just caught up with her collaborative EP (?) (9 tracks, 15 mins long) with Intyce, titled ‘Psyflo : Risqué’ . It dropped about a month ago to little fanfare and I can’t find very much about it online. It’s good, the beats work really well with Dawn’s signature style. Possibly my favourite thing she’s done in a couple of years at least.
― Jeff W, Sunday, 24 May 2020 12:43 (four years ago) link
Thanks for the heads-up, had missed this. Don’t know who Intyce is, but I’m very eager to check this out.
