NPR/Uncut catnip though it may be, I love the Father John Misty record. Who's with me? *silence across ILX*
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I really like it too. Nowhere near as mopey as I expected, in fact quite joful and even funny at times. I was really surprised by it.

It has the same kind of slow, environmental build as The Necks music does, which I like

that's what her friends call her
Yeah that Julia Holter album is great, I love how each track seems to end up in a totally different place from where it began without seeming meandering.
I've come round to the Frankie Rose album as well since the nights have been drawing in. Not sure I've seen that one anywhere.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:22 (eleven years ago) link
Thought the Frankie Rose was insubstantial; only "Pair of Wings", corny as it is, held up to repeated play for me.
Julia Holter album is fantastic, of course.

i feel like there's loads of this sort of ethereal pop about but the level of detail in this really separates it, and the different tones, very easy to become dirgey with this kind of sound but as you say, it's pretty bold in terms of how it jumps from one mood to another. can tell it'll be one i listen to for a few weeks.
― Heterocyclic ring ring (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:27 (eleven years ago) link
Sad to see the Marissa Nadler and Georgia Anne Muldrow albums pass under everyone's radar; both albums are career highlights for me.

I never got around to listening to Julia Holter; rectifying that now

Love this as well, but after half a dozen listens those transitions start to feel forced, as if too over-conscious of the genre she's playing in. Sometimes I think the songs could've subsisted - and have been great - w/ just a small amount of consistency. "Marienbad" manages to avoid this, but I thought it was especially noticeable on songs like "In The Same Room" where songs would transmutate not out of necessity but a seeming desire to keep things from ever being overtly pop
― kelpolaris, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
still putting the record in my year-end top 5 tho, it's incredible
I thought goddess eyes I and II were so dominant that they made the rest of the album seem a little less alive. still a nice album, though...
― Dan S, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
Has Rick Rodd even made any other lists?

"rich forever" should be on more lists, i guess ppl just forgot about it because it was released in january and yeah because the album didn't have a huge impact. but it's still great, listened to it just the other day
― flopson, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 22:17 (eleven years ago) link
it was in my top ten until a few weeks ago

Honestly releasing an album in the first Q is like saying "fuck critical concensus" or "we so trill it hurts"

I'll let Animal Collective know.

Vampire Weekend too.
yeah or even, can you imagine, in december
i dont have a top ten but there weren't many other rap albums in 2012 that i enjoyed more

Yeah, that too

Diddy's the only one I can think of recently that was really hurt by the December release thing.

I'm not saying that dropping in Jan means no one will remember you in Dec guys
Just that the odds aren't great
― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 23:03 (eleven years ago) link
true.
jon otm: Diddy and R. Kelly in Dec '10 most egregious examples.

T.I.'s record is dropping in a couple weeks, right? not that he needs critics necessarily, but i thought it was supposed to be his serious old man rapper album.
― have a sandwich or ice cream sandwich (Jordan), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 23:06 (eleven years ago) link
Last Train To Paris took more than a year to grow to its current critical stature, don't think it would've mattered that much if it dropped in June (although i voted for it at the time ha)
― RIP Gramp C (some dude), Wednesday, 5 December 2012 23:09 (eleven years ago) link
T.I. ain't gonna win with critics this time around either way
