Ebay. Record shops, especially those of the 2nd hand variety. Or travelling to Norway with the express purpose of offering Royksopp and the rest of Telle Records a blowjob. Each.

No I agree. Well I got into "Chewing Gum" alot more after repeated listens but it doesn't have the twee feel sorry for yourself factor of "Heartbeat".

If Chewing Gum can manage to be a monster hit among that lot...
Nah, it's probably held back till next year and 'The New Milkshake!!!' status will hopefully follow. Ideally without being kept off number one by Michelle McManus and LMC.

there isn't a bad track on it (although the 7 minute-long 'come together' is like a generic early 90's rave pop anthem from the title down) i managed to actually *dance at a party* to chewing gum on sunday!

Love that writeup, willem. This really is the best thing she's ever released. I wish it were getting more attention. The production is stunning and the melodies are achingly gorgeous. I wanna bop my head to 'Miracle Mile' forever.
― KevRus, Monday, 19 October 2020 18:39 (three years ago) link
My favorite track right now is Stay Tomorrow. I'm getting some mid-eighties French pop vibe from it. Maybe Mylene Farmer? I dunno.
― daavid, Monday, 19 October 2020 20:36 (three years ago) link
Yes, really feeling your write-up Willem, nice that it coincided with that particular area of NL :) Will try and save it for a similar experience in the near future.

was disappointed/bored with this initially but it's really grown on me - beautiful, perfect music for cold, rainy evenings.
"Mermaid Dreams" is incredible.
― Roz, Saturday, 14 November 2020 03:43 (three years ago) link
I had the same experience. On my first few plays not much really stood out, but I love it now. I'm really drawn to the dark mood of the whole thing and I think it's easily her best work lyrically. A lot of it is really devastating me right now.

this is really cheesy and I think the spoken-word bit takes it so far that it becomes endearingly naff rather than just a bit embarassing.
The 5 track EP will feature this collaboration with Jake Shears, a new track with old production flame Richard X, and covers of Jesus & Mary Chain’s ‘Just Like Honey’ and Patrick Swayze’s ‘She’s Like the Wind
this will be interesting
