There's a 5-track sampler on Spotify though: http://open.spotify.com/album/5YgMGbzIfjwwHw7R4g3iZz

If that isn't it, I apologize - I don't have Spotify myself, just found that link

ah, good to know, it's still downloading here. over 700 people fooled so far!

lex you should be able to get a promo of this, right? i mean i did sooo

fucking webmail! can never get it to work so i'll just say thanks johnny here
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:35 (thirteen years ago) link
"should"
some PRs are more into sending promos than others
People really download those things? I tend to assume they're boxes full of viruses and if you get an album with it it's a bonus.

― blingee cummings (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 17:38 (thirteen years ago) link
It's out there now.
Night Air and Lady Luck are pretty accurate tasters for the album, imho. Immaculately produced, not totally blown away though. Need more listens. Reminded me more of James Blake than I had expected on first listen (i.e. ultimately innocent soul stylings but with somewhat dangerous production).
― StanM, Saturday, 26 March 2011 23:14 (thirteen years ago) link
lol
'somewhat dangerous production'

i just got the Blake album & played Woon a week ago or so, i think the Blake album has both higher highs & lower lows, if that makes sense
― ilxor you've listened to one odd future album once (ilxor), Saturday, 26 March 2011 23:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't get the comparison at all tbh. There's not a single song on the James Blake album that doesn't make me want to punch a baby, whereas the Woon album is close to flawless.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 27 March 2011 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
punching babies not cool; you should settle for punching blake's baby face
― ilxor you've listened to one odd future album once (ilxor), Sunday, 27 March 2011 02:46 (thirteen years ago) link
If I had a baby and it had Blake's face I'd punch it, that wouldn't be natural.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_4AxzvhCPY
There is no way he has got a baby face.
Student Face more like.
I wouldn't compare the two mind, I mean if you throw Woon and Blake together you may as well throw in Katy B. It just doesn't work yeah they all have a bass thing going on beu they all come at it diffrently. Katy B big girl next door pop anthems, Woon electronic indie/soul song writer material, Blake looped-out electronic freakery. Woon and Blake use a simular pallet, Blake sings but doesn't try to make songs, woon has been attempting to make songs for ages as some London free indie mic spot monkey untill he found the bass scene. Nowt wrong with any aproach really but they all have a difference no point comparing them to me at least. They do diffrent things.

I really like this album and the track that's standing out to me the most is the one that has the line 'you can try on anything for free'. I've been playing it while i clean and unpack so I haven't really followed song titles yet.
― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 27 March 2011 21:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Oooh I like this album.

Like, I get as excited listening to this as I did by Portishead's Third and that remained my favorite album for all of 2008.

I'm intrigued and all but the one thing nobody's said much on the thread is...exactly who is this guy? Meaning did "Night Air" come out of nowhere or had he already been building a rep?
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 27 March 2011 22:31 (thirteen years ago) link
he was a guardian reader folk singer i think, his version of wayfaring stranger got a big hyped burial remix around the time of the first burial album and then this collab
― plax (ico), Sunday, 27 March 2011 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
From what I gather, he'd been toiling in obscurity for a couple years before Burial agreed to work with him on "Night Air" and then he went FULL AWESOME and now can't be stopped.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 27 March 2011 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link
i'd heard of him a while before that, just as a random soul singer about town doing vox on uk urban underground tunes (like fatima, ahu etc) - this actually remains one of his finest tracks imo

― lex pretend, Sunday, 27 March 2011 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link
idk if i'd call it toiling in obscurity, as with katy b i think he always meant to build up to this - what both of them did for a few years prior to their breakthrough was more like build up a portfolio
― lex pretend, Sunday, 27 March 2011 22:35 (thirteen years ago) link
like that a lot
