she's playing out some, saw her last night at Nashville's Exit/In.

how was it? I'm having a hard time imagining how this material would translate live.
― bernard snowy, Sunday, 2 March 2008 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I'd seen Cortney before, at a small club, and she was really effective, playing her acoustic and Omnichord, and singing her songs. The Exit/In's sound system was wack Sat. nite--all bass, no snare drum, her voice lost amid the haze, so it didn't come across too well. However, she's fantastic, one powerful singer, and so the (brief) set was mainly her gettin' crazy and wailing over the repetitions of two guitars/bass/drums/keys w/ little subtlety. No "La La" melodicism on hand, and that's the stuff--like, actual songs; Cortney could easily be the Gal Costa of Nashville--I myself like the best, altho I pretty much love the EP and full-length she's done.

I'm a year late, but this is blowing my mind. I've listened to it ten times in a row.
― Tape Store, Sunday, 23 March 2008 04:02 (sixteen years ago) link
I felt the same way. When I first got it, it had crazy replay value.

OMG last half of "Palace"
― Tape Store, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
just saw her do an amazing set at Basement in Nashville--in incredible swooping voice, band creating truly multi-layered settings that moved in sections, atmospheric yet really grounded. something else.

this album is fucking great. watusi sounds like something portishead would have made if they had gone for a summer vibe. the producer on this deserves props

not really hearing much of a song in those two clips to be honest. heard this on the radio today also, minus the maddeningly busy video... still not convinced.
not very Björk-y either, although recently, feh. That's probably for the best.
― fandango, Sunday, 10 May 2009 18:43 (fourteen years ago) link
17 Horses reminds me of PJ Harvey rather than Bjork. Something about the way she only uses a very small number of notes and really bellows them out against those massive incessant chords.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Watusi already sounds a bit like its own Jacques Lu Cont or Alan Braxe remix. This stuff is really great - I'd always assumed Cortney Tidwell is normal unremixed form was a lot more folky than this. Maybe I should listen to the album.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Sunday, 10 May 2009 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
is this thing out now, or just leaked?

the track this thread is about remains A+, I stick it on my iPod pretty often still. Those other youtubes getting posted are pretty boring in comparison.

Too inextricably pulled in by the portentous loveliness of "Oh Suicide" to pay attention to the rest of the album yet. Haha.
― Turangalila, Saturday, 23 May 2009 03:13 (fourteen years ago) link
The new album is so, so lovely. Think Oslo is my favourite so far, especially the last minute or so.

"So We Sing" and "Oh, Suicide" are my favorites right now. But it changes every couple days.

I think because they're the same song!

This album is great. The whole damn thing. Love "Watusii" but I think "Son and Moon" is my favorite at the moment.
― van smack, Friday, 19 June 2009 00:14 (fourteen years ago) link
I understand the Bjork comparisons on "Son and Moon" -- it reminds me of "Cocoon."

played a house show with cortney tidwell last summer, she is kind of weird and shy but holy shit she can sing, the new album is fucking fantastic

Pretty sure you could stick 'Sun and Moon' on Vespertine and no one would notice.

The Immer 3 mix of this is different from the old Ewan Pearson mixes, right?

Love love love the Immer 3 version of this. Don't think I ever heard the earlier remix, although I always intended to one day. How different are they?

hmmm...she's done a record with kurt wagner, i'd rather it was just her but pretty. seems like it is more his thing than hers.

Their album's ok at but the Ewan Pearson re-edit of A.M. is rather special.
