I really love the dds record, and while it's obviously doing different things than the Fire-Toolz record, one of the things that appeals about dds and some Orange Milk associated products is that the vocals are heavily processed but pleasant to listen to. Once the black metal vocals come in with Fire-Toolz, I nope out— totally ruins it for me.

p sure Fire-Toolz knows her vocals are an aesthetic choice that will alienate a lot of otherwise receptive listeners, but I can only commend her boldness in not compromising the vision. glad to have you on one of the shipboards at least!

oh i know, and at first with FT i sort of liked it, but there's a reason i don't listen to a lot of black metal— i just don't like the scratchy incomprehensible vocals. if FT utilized the low, cookie-monter demon growl, I might be more receptive.

Darklife really seems like the kind of album that ought to have its own thread on here but it would just be like the 4 of us
― frogbs, Monday, 31 October 2022 02:14 (one year ago) link
That’s because it’s not very good
― calstars, Monday, 31 October 2022 02:34 (one year ago) link
i think i did an orange milk one but dds as an individual thread sounds good
interesting what the next step is
what didn't u enjoy about darklife calstars?
― nxd, Monday, 31 October 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link
Just not a dds fan is all. Except for the last song on Try Living Like This. But generally find their stuff too kinetic for my taste

don't know what thread this belongs in but I discovered it yesterday and it's one of the few times in recent years I've been able to say "holy shit, I've never heard anything that sounds like this". maybe like if No Now by Clarence Clarity was remixed by Max Tundra and produced by James Ferraro. dunno if it's "good" exactly but it seems to be popular in certain corners of the internet and there's a lot of mystery behind it. I mean whoever these people are it doesn't seem like they did anything else yet

there were two earlier singles from this year that were also more in this vein. it's quite a good wall of sound but not as exciting as frailty was
― ufo, Thursday, 17 November 2022 12:38 (one year ago) link
well no, there's far less there even if the atmosphere is the focus, but bring back frailty's writing with these sonics...
how are you choosing to begin Imago Day at Australian midnight btw lol
― imago, Thursday, 17 November 2022 12:44 (one year ago) link
it's not midnight my time but elsewhere in the country it is, so i'm very very tempted to give the ruby cord a listen immediately but it'll have to wait until the morning

― imago, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 10:19 (one year ago) link
pas tasta is some sort of japanese soundcloud weirdo supergroup i think? amane uyama is one of its members (which is how i stumbled across them). "peanuts phenomenon" is a song they did with the vtuber/"peanuts-kun" who is the very nasally guy who raps a bit in the middle

i posted this album by sexual jeremy on "music that rocks in 2022" bc it does rock but i think the weirdo art-noise skronkiness of it might possibly appeal to people on this thread as well: https://sexyjerry.bandcamp.com/album/the-real-sexual-jeremy
