OUT OF FLUX WITH THE UNIVERSE: the canada trans electropop scene

this is my favourite scene in music right now tbh

start here: https://blackdresses.bandcamp.com/album/wasteisolation

proceed to: girls rituals, rook, anyone else from this compilation that catches your ear

note that for the purposes of this thread, katie dey is a canadian

Cool thread !

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.

rook put out an album today and it rules and you should send her some money.

oh sick I'll listen to this presently

this is sounding amazing

seems like rook is putting out another album tonight, stay tuned

Katie Dey deleted her twitter :( a lot of her tweets in recent months were really concerning, I hope she's okay

who needed a new black dresses? yes that's right - all of us! and this one they made while in the same room...

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

boom

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?

On the new moon in Scorpio ♏️ Wednesday November 7th at 16:01 EST @katie_dey and i will be releasing our first full length album together! 💌 pic.twitter.com/PD5OeBq24Z

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

I do suspect it'll grow on me too

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

New BD on Feb 5

voila

"wheel of fortune" struck me on first listen

good continuation of a great sound

will give it a few more goes this week
and hopefully over the next few months too

WATER is the one for me, on first listen

new album is v v good

opening for Odonis Odonis on 04/04 which is an inspired pairing

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

xp yesss love odonis odonis

oh wow I hadn't realized that was their first-ever live show. they killed it

You went???? I AM SO JEALOUS.

honestly best show I've seen in month, such an inspired pairing, great receptive crowd for them to debut to. kudos to whoever thought it up.

i love this music and these people and support the general premise of this thread

omg 'dreams come true' (the track)

https://blackdresses.bandcamp.com/album/dreams-come-true-2019

heyhi i wasn't aware of this when it came out and now the download has vanished w/out a trace! does anyone know what happened/have a zip they can send me? i've thought about just going and collecting the tracklist one by one but i'd like prefer just to have the comp!

^^^i didn't download it at the time, sorry. someone must have surely

ANYWAY
