The purpose built next generation interstellar Dawn Richard thread

is new orleans on the record tho? she said the remix is a la Save Me From U and SMFU (Remix)

It's also that the breakbeat just doesn't QUITE fit on Miles, it feels like it's been fairly awkwardly cropped to fit in with everything else. The whole execution feels slapdash basically.

I'm not really feeling the EP as a whole, the songwriting feels a bit flimsy in comparison to Armor On, it's atmospheric enough but the whole thing gives off major stopgap vibes.

otm

she's dropped a mix of album snippets if ppl are into that sort of thing

kinda had perpetual chills for 20 minutes, this sounds so fucking next level

oh sweet is the release date still next week? for some reason i was starting to lose hope and think there was another delay

kinda hesitating to listen to a 20 min preview, shall i just wait and savour for once in my life

yes, stand with me and wait. fuck a preview, that's the motto.

nigga #fap

djp will you hit me if i say "are there enough ilx posters for that?"

lol

that's what I get for making a bad Drake joke

well really you were just finishing the bad joke i started

dawn no matter how much I love you I'm not gonna buy your steampunk sunglasses

so am i going to be able to buy this album in 2 hours? wild

oh man appropriate intro or what

hello phil collins

all these little flutes and shit

i can totally see the dwarves feasting and merrymaking around the pre battle campfire

Works for me, then.

haha can't wait to hear this

Dawn Dick did it again

why did rtc stop, i was looking fwd to that liveblog

he died with 5 seconds left in the intro, RIP

"riot" and "in your eyes" work so well as the album's two big, banging peaks; "northern lights" blows my mind the most (swear this needs to be the big single this year, that fucking beat and those fucking vox), "frequency" is gorgeously voluptuous in that "vibrate" kinda style, pretty much every beat in the first half (before it winds down into balladry) is stunning, and i have a huge soft spot for how ludicrously OTT "300" is with the fantasy imagery (has anyone itt actually seen the film 300?)

heh somewhat shamefully i took recourse to pad & pen

xp: i tried once. i was watching it at a friend's place and he turned it off cos i was making fun of it too much. true story.

anyway, this is pretty great so far! frequency is beautiful.

i need to figure out how i feel about these 'rock' drum sounds (tug of war, ode to you)

The production is stunning, maybe even more so than Armor On, but the songwriting is seriously spotty. With the constant stream of "prepare for battle"/"I gave all I can"/"I'm gonna break down these walls"/"see my scars"/"you did this to me" messaging it's like she's just stealing Linkin Park lyrics

i can't get this to stream... doesn't work in canada maybe?

works for me

the switch-up in "gleaux" >>>>>>

i have seen 300 but role models was the first film that came to mind initially

nah joeks i'm being cruel

evan r is the enemy of r&b, pour boiling oil and fire catapults at this bitch

^^ repost. sorry - must have been the excitment or something...

I WANT TO CRY

ok somebody jog my memory: Goldenheart (Outro) -- what is that piano piece?

i need to figure out how i feel about these 'rock' drum sounds (tug of war, ode to you)

not really very rock and not a problem at all either way

thank you for the help

Claire De Lune - Debussy

eh i'm just sayin you had me expecting some session player bombast and instead i just heard drum machine snares that sound like actual snares xp

yeah well drum machine snares that sound like actual snares get me wrinkling my nose instinctually

thx DJP -- i was off hunting for ryuichi sakamoto youtubes lol

love "Break Of Dawn," so shamelessly gooey

Four tracks in and this is already such an ridiculously well sequenced album!

yeah sequencing is great

Seriously, flows like no tomorrow. Currently on "Gleaux."

300 is so good

this is kinda cheesy in parts. i cant deal with 'in your eyes'

love "Break Of Dawn," so shamelessly gooey

no air, air

haha that is what i was trying to figure out what it reminded me of

woah, good ear!

doesn't work in canada and i am SO UPSET.

This album's length really works in its favor; this is a satisfying one to lose yourself in. So much beautiful empty space, especially in that final stretch

yeah it's not quite as sprawling as Last Train To Paris but it's probably more immersive.
