join me in anticipating musics by FEVER RAY (aka one half of the knife)

'Silent Shout' was a slow burner for me, too, because I think I was so enamored of their poppier side. But this one hit immediately for me.

it's just too bad the name makes it sound like a psychobilly band.

straight lol

I'm not really sure why I LOVE this album while I always found The Knife irritating (in twee-scary way)

Sounds like you might be due for a re-appraisal, then? That could be a thrill--to suddenly have three great albums "click" at once. . .

raddddd album

yeah this is good

sick cover art too (charles burns? or his style at least)

awez a+ job dude

Like it says in the artwork/booklet pdf that was included with the release when you bought it: " Artwork by Martin Ander. http://www.mander.nu "

i'll buy the vinyl when it comes out in march. thx for being a dick though

Also unless my dl fucked up or something you don't get the artwork if you buy it from Amazon.

max can probably send over the originals... good work dude

Sadly, I don't think Amazon ever offers the extras with their mp3 downloads. They are cheaper, though, so it kinda balances out.

yeah have to echo all above me great work on this max

thx for being a dick though

Didn't know about the Amazon thing, got it from clicktrack.com - and fuck you too.

the art, as drawn by ilx's own max, is just simply beautiful

(re: dick/fuck etc. - honestly though, did I miss something? what did I do?)

you disrespected max by not acknowledging what good job he did

OMG! Sorry max :-(
Well done though! Sue that other bastard!

I misread your tone, sorry dude, I had googled to tried and find the artist and your post came off as "just look in the booklet dumbass". guess i am mr. defensive today my bad let's squash the beef etc.

thanks for the kind words guys

max you can do better

i spoke too soon i guess

thank YOU for all the great art :)

very low key but very effective record....

COCONUT is an amazing closer.

No prob mdr, sorry that my tone could be misread that way. Peace!

(dmr)

didnt know this thread existed cuz i suck at searching for threads, amaaaaaaazing album though...
wish she would tour in the states

Srsly, I haven't liked an album this much for a long time. At first I was unimpressed, it was just quietly rippling intimate unassuming, but over more listens it has kept growing and growing.

And ILM's very own Max drew the cover, how awesome is that?

yeah, i wish i could take back any criticisms i made earlier in this thread. i'm now completely in love with this album.

good stuff

good stuff max

I agree, this is wicked.

That artwork is wicked max, whats your working fees? I intend to release my debut album in 2011 and I want you in.

This has been my shit this winter, yall

this is pretty much my favorite album of the decade by now.

just listened to this for the 1st time. it's good, but nowhere near as immediate as deep cuts/silent house. songs are less distinctive & distinct from one another -- hooks (to the extent that there are any) are much more subdued, textural. so, a mood piece. a few standout tracks: "if i had a heart", "dry and dusty", "keep the streets empty for me". <333 "coconut" builds slow but pays off okay.

a lot of the rest is a bit too vague, tastefully atmospheric for my crude tastes. "i'm not done" actually kinda killed me with boring, even with only half an ear tuned. perhaps the whole thing will grow on me, but i dunno. i tune out quick.

i tuned out kind of quick on the first listen too. after being initially impressed, that is. but after a few songs, it sounded a little monotone, and she kept hitting those notes that she likes to hit. i should listen again tho.

Only half of it is actually good. I have never been able to listen to it completely needs more sounds on her palette.

wrong, listen again, wrong

think i agree with previous 3 comments - was v impressed when i first heard it, but it never hit me/sunk in as i expected to, 'if i had a heart' apart. i'm not done giving it chances yet though.

xp

wrong, listen again, wrong

^^^^ i think people who don't like this have bad/boring taste in music

that's funny, cuz i figure this record will appeal most strongly to people with fascinating opinions about "good taste" lol

not hating, but the A+ design factor is v high

are you talking about the cover illustration i did
