Oh nice. It would have benefited from a lengthy trimming session though.

Oh wow, wasn't expecting this to place, good one, super chill and groovy
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:42 (six years ago)
big fan of this one

Re:Ignota - Her persona is inexplicably offputting and garish to me, and the music similarly so, though that’s definitely paradoxical in relation to most of what I listen to. I did briefly really like the previous album (it has a lot of attributes I consider very much my thing) but on repeated listens I found it getting emptier and emptier. I get that the performance of artifice and theatricality is intended, but it just does not gel for me in this project. There’s also always a more negative association to music I know I should like but don’t.

never heard of this. what is it?

Shambhala ish group from Montreal. Not jazz.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:53 (six years ago)
completely forgot to vote for this even though i made the album thread lol
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:53 (six years ago)
Had no idea there was any support here at all or I might have given it a vote.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:54 (six years ago)
Never heard of this, but that's an awful band name + album name + album cover combo.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:57 (six years ago)
^agreed -_-
― dad genes (morrisp), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:57 (six years ago)
lol this is one of the few I have heard

Can't argue with that.

Tuomas... otm
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:58 (six years ago)
I kinda like the cover for some reason
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:59 (six years ago)
well it manages to be fuckin great despite all of that
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:59 (six years ago)
most band names are terrible, we're just used to them.
― omar little, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:59 (six years ago)
On the subject of Montreal trios featuring a female vocalist, may I remind everyone of how fucking awesome Big Brave's A Gaze Among Them is? You better vote for it in the metal poll, because I doubt it made this one.
― toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:00 (six years ago)
I wish more albums had a pleasant lil intro track that made explicitly clear the name of the album I'm listening to
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:00 (six years ago)
my invisalign is out, and this is oncle jazz

lol
― toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:01 (six years ago)
Never heard of this either and agree with Tuomas. Kind of enjoying the actual music though, I'm gonna have to shut it off before I fall asleep though, no way am going to be able to make it through 71 minutes of this while working.
― silverfish, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:01 (six years ago)
Fwiw bits of it reminded me of Air.
― toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:02 (six years ago)
now for something else completely different

yesss

2 I fck with in a row what is going on

Hate the Danny Brown Voice more than any other sound in pop music right now. Is he doing the Danny Brown Voice on this or has he worked something else out?
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:04 (six years ago)
he's doing The Voice less of late
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:05 (six years ago)
Hellz yeah!
My third one to place. Fewer highs than on Atrocity Exhibition but considerably tighter overall. Probably the hip hop album I played the most last year alongside Billy Woods & Kenny Segal's Hiding Places (is there still a chance?)
― toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:05 (six years ago)
I sure hope so
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:06 (six years ago)
good album, yet a clear step down from his previous three.
i haven't returned to it much tbh
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:07 (six years ago)
Love this one. Combat stands out.
― beard papa, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:07 (six years ago)
I'd take the Danny Brown voice over the Glass Beach voice any day.
― enochroot, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:08 (six years ago)
otm
― toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:08 (six years ago)
Liking the Men I Trust, too. Seems to be coming from a space between Air (as mentioned a few posts ago) and maybe We Are KING?
― beard papa, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:09 (six years ago)
reminds me most of quadron/rhye
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:10 (six years ago)
Yes, Danny Brown voice > Glass Beach voice, but it's still rough going.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:14 (six years ago)
Huh, Men I Trust has multiple songs on Spotify with > 15 million listens.
― enochroot, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:15 (six years ago)
When Danny Brown switches his voice, it's always a thrill, but I don't want him doing it for a whole album.
I love this record.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:15 (six years ago)
Are they huge in Canada?
xp
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:16 (six years ago)
They're on a couple big Chillout type playlists. I'm betting they get a lot of play in stores.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:22 (six years ago)
I live in Montreal and had never heard of them so I don't think so.

Tailwhip by Men I Trust is one of the best songs of the decade imho.
Love the sound of that - palm muted? - bass in their sound.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:24 (six years ago)
Not my thing, alas. I'll give it another shot some time.
