excited to hear this one

yes!

As posted upthread, the Payfone remix of that sounds great.

Also loving the Lil Louis influenced Can't Replicate

that whole ALFOS mix is excellent, the Alison Goldfrapp single sounds amazing in it as well as this Payfone remix

Wait what are you talking about? Has it leaked?

they're talking about the remix of "you knew" in this mix at ~1:55:00, which was linked upthread

Ok this is officially out. You were right the Payfone remix is great

amazing vocal performance in the original which the payfone mix downplays a little

singles all amazing so far. shaping up as potential aoty contender

She's such a badass.

Clearly this is one of the world's best songwriters, yes?

What a run she's on. Jesus.

Just copped tickets to the Terminal 5 show.
Been a fan since the first Moloko album, but this will be my first show.
September 27th can't come fast enough.

Hmmm, she's coming to the Wiltern in LA just before that. Tix from $68.

$55 all in for NY.
Which doesn't seem that bad for somebody who's made loads of my favorite records.

No doubt. I'd pay considerably more for that for this woman. She's brought me more joy than just about anyone else, musically speaking, in the past decade plus.

*more than that

Got two GA. Given that she is playing only two US dates, this was surprisingly easy.

Feel like we made good decisions tonight, jim.

will this dethrone hairless toys as her best?

Her Glastonbury show on BBC iPlayer brought me as much joy as any other musical *thing* last year, I think.

"free will" might be one of the best songs she's ever done based on section in that set

setlist for those curious:

"two ways"
"hurtz so bad"
"free will"
"the house"
"incapable"
"coocool"
"can't replicate"
"fader"

why is this album still over a month away, it's too far given we've heard nearly every track at least in part now

teaser for a moodymann remix of "what not to do" sounds intersting

back in the pandemic year of disco, there were so many awesome albums dropped from some legends but I think Roisin Machine was the best one. super psyched for this.

ok here it is. kdj and rm go together really well imo, he's a great foil for her. also it's the best thing i've heard from him in a while? i haven't been feeling his output for a minute for whatever reason.

A huge disappointment if it's real

Is this real and why can’t I find anyone else talking about it pic.twitter.com/lziHKVWP8C

yeah, a painful one to never want to listen to again but here we are

The accent's missing in her name, though?

You can find the account pretty easily. No accents present.

ugh ugh ugh

nooooooo

yeah this seems to be real - the account is in a few FB music groups I'm in, and it seems convincing enough to make me believe it's definitely her own personal/private profile. Really fucking grim when you consider that so much of her profile is based on leaning into being the "hip" choice of gay icon, it feels like the LGBT+ audience are worthy of using for acclaim and profit but not affording autonomy and respect to.

one of the grimmest aspects of the transphobic war has been this endless parade of allies and libs deciding that they've reached the threshold of their tolerance and have no choice but to side with hate

i guess at least there's some masks off

not her real account.

this is her official space :

https://twitter.com/roisinmurphy

different avatar pic.

been through recent likes/replies and this aint in the listings i can see.

it's not from the twitter account as far as i understand this

isn't it from her FB page?

ooh bugger .. dont follow her on FB so missed that small detail.

:/

yeah, this is from her Facebook page, and I mean "her" page - her own private profile, not the page you can like and follow her as a fan of an artist. I've seen her pop up in threads on groups like W0rld 0F Ech0es and in the comments of mutual friends, not just recently but a good few times over the years. Much as I would love for this to be fake I don't have much doubt at all about it being real.

someone on that Twitter thread describing this as her "Donna Summer" moment and it does feel apt. She could have kept this private opinion to herself, and been this awful, with the fanbase being none the wiser. The fact she felt compelled to make this comment despite being fully aware it could be screenshotted and shared tells me how little she actually values the fanbase that she's built over the past thirty years.

I was today years old when I discovered Roisin was a TERF. Really saddened and shocked particularly as she moves and thrives in LGBTQI+ spaces

people are saying it's real & she doubled down when challenged by a trans

which, fucking hell. hard to think of someone who this would be more disappointing from

Just awful.

as disappointing and fucked up as this situation might be, it is v funny seeing TERFs who odds are have never listened to a note of her music before today suddenly proclaim her to be a genius goddess

She's also on record admitting to previous drug-fuelled hedonism in her younger days. So... drugs to alter up your brain chemistry are fine, except when they might actually help trans kids be able to live life authentically?

I mean this is not the thread for a debate on puberty blockers and it doesn't need to be but ugh what a fucking massive disappointment

it is v funny seeing TERFs who odds are have never listened to a note of her music before today suddenly proclaim her to be a genius goddess

this is a core terf behaviour, like all culture wars fascists

I'm pretty gutted by this to be honest. This is someone that I would classify as an all-time favourite artist and I have to agree with boxedjoy that it seems especially perverse that she would hold these views when the queer community constitute such a large part of her fanbase.

Her posts are now being boosted by Glinner and his TERF armies, so unless she unequivocally apologises for her ignorance, then frankly I'll...have to check out of this album campaign, unfortunately, and re-evaluate how I engage with her work generally.

i'm honestly not surprised by this, though of course it sucks. hasn't she been kind of nasty to her queer audience previously?

also she old
