Black Dresses is my favorite album this year, but I think it goes in the category of things I love unconditionally that I can't imagine recommending to anyone I currently know IRL.
if you're on the right wavelength, it's basically everything. I'm slightly less enthusiastic about Girls Rituals, but the track "It's Not That Deep" hits similar highs.

dizzy/devi has been doing heroic and slightly scary work unmasking an abusive doctor on twitter btw so there might have to be some sort of legal kickstarter soon. or maybe the guy will kill himself, which would be preferable

The compilation this thread is named after seems to have been removed from Bandcamp. For someone who never got around to buying it: is there anywhere else it can be found? A reason for its absence, related or unrelated to all the other obvious upheaval in these artists’ lives atm?

So this is cool then

i like the weird MIDI pop thing they're going for here in places but the overall sound design doesn't really grab me in the same way that katie's solo work does, and they haven't really made the vocals mesh with it very well (this was a problem for me on girls rituals and black dresses albums too)
like the 'bedroom prog' tag though

It's no Flood Network and it's no WASTEISOLATION, but it's cool imo
― imago, Thursday, 8 November 2018 16:46 (seven months ago) Permalink
I do suspect it'll grow on me too
― imago, Thursday, 8 November 2018 18:29 (seven months ago) Permalink
When it hits the highs there are things on this one that I think might become my absolute favourites out of any of the records, but then there are patches where it just doesn't move me at all (I actually think the first track was one of these, just didn't gel for me at the start).

the run of die or be killed through into the sky is exceptional, as is pigs don't feel pain

went top of the 2019 RYM chart at the last update. chaos has ensued. a bit reminiscent of when they showed up on the ILM albums poll, but maybe a little less polite
