What song is "Last Dance" based on? It's bugging me.

haha I figured it out. really a banner year for obscure rap references in indie music.

contains best mbv review of all time

Agreed but tbh for a sec if it felt like mbv sounds I'd consider sourcing a better form of lubricant. I guess amyl might make the whole exercise a bit "To Here Knows When" though.

My favourite piece of that article was the simplicity of "They will realize that you are as calculated as you are."

i mean that is the basic primal fear that runs through me at all times

i have definitely played a few tracks from mbv during a session

i fundamentally disagree with the pretext of this blog post because music is a handy stylistic cue and the more overtly it signifies the more explicitly it directs. which is convenient.

everything we do is a performance

:)>

i can't really ever imagine experiencing mbv again like i did before encountering richjuz's observation (and for this i am very grateful in truth)

even the loveless tracklisting on its own now just looks like snatches of muffled dialogue during

plus the selfexplanatory 'is this and yes'

real time lol

hahahaha

I will never hear "When You Sleep" or "What You Want" or "Only Shallow" the same way again.

Oh god "Blown A Wish".

all in

this album is gorgeous.

was this last years 'kindness' ?

i.e. major label funding, lots of mystery/hype/promo, beautiful photography = no sales.

i really REALLY love this LP and keep coming back to it. great summer sunday morning / romantic meal vibez.

still listening v. regularly. any clues as to a followup lp?

They're touring now, which is one hint.

new songs!

both are on spotify as well

sound good, esp please

this songs are really good people i promise!!!

yeah nice

yup please is a treat

The new songs are nice and I'm looking forward to an album, but I would rather have a new Quadron album first.

this new one is really lovely: https://youtu.be/sxUqBS_gzfM

New album out next week! There doesn't seem to be any hype at all about this.

I’m in

I haven't been into this band in the past but I love everything I've heard from this one

i slept so hard on "plesae" jesus

"please"** lol smh

this live version they play about halfway through this video is really really nice

this album didn't stand out to me the first few times i listened to it. but it's really growing on me. the instrumentation is more live and pronounced on this album & it kinda reminded me of what i wanted the last jamie woon record to be... a kind of muted neo-soul. this is warm and well produced, a little aqueous in an embrya way maybe. idk how memorable the songwriting will be in the long run (i struggled w/ this w/ the last record) but it's very very nice to listen to. and "please" is as good as any of the big songs from the last record imo.

The last Rhye album just made me want to listen to Quadron but these new songs are gorgeous in their own right.

apparently robin left the band before the release of the last album which i had no idea about until very recently. this one was milosh and various collaborators.

Weird, I didn't know anything about that either. Hopefully that means he has some spare time to make another Quadron album. Avalanche is a masterpiece.

robin co-wrote/co-produced a song on the recent dsvn album that i liked

thats good

Really like the sound of the new songs. The Jamie Woon comparison is otm, and I love that record.

I've liked all of the advance tracks.

The opening track on the new album is like Horny Talk Talk.

Yes, I know Talk Talk was probably already horny.

had not heard the but spotted the new one in "new releases" on Spotify and it's lovely imo

Checking out his old Milosh albums on Spotify today and it's pleasant work listening. Kind of like old Telefon Tel Aviv-style idm with vocals, not quite as lush as that but better than the TTA records that actually had vocals.

The first one, with more lo-fi home recordings of bottles as percussion etc, is maybe the most distinctive?

yeah good comp. I really like a lot of the milosh stuff

not a lot of variety in his vox throughout his discography is my main gripe. he overuses the fade-in mmmmmmmmmmmmms and ooooooooooooos too much.

I also learned that he was a jazz drummer in college and played drums on the new record, so I like that obv.

It was this interview, which is good: https://player.fm/series/no-effects-with-jesse-cohen-1537939/ep-103-rhye

He also claims that the first Rhye record sold a million copies worldwide, which seems nuts?

1st album got a lot of traction though with the whole 'is it a woman singing?' pr i seem to recall.
that and the fact its a really gorgeous album.
not got the new one yet, but no doubt i will do at some point.
i have the 'III' album that came out on k7!, and still listen to it loads.

oops. this was in regards to Milsoh.

new Spotify Single features a jammy version of "Taste" and a super low key cover of "A Whiter Shade of Pale"

finally got around to the new album and it's super lovely. about as smooth and warm as its possible to get and the way the songs slowly swell with the strings is gorgeous. "horny talk talk" otm lol

New album 'Hope' is out today, on first listen it's everything you expect from a new album from Rhye, which is good not bad imo.

Welp.

I couldn't read all that (it gets very graphic) but yeesh what a creep

"a profound metanoia" is a v graceful and forgiving wish considering how fucked up the allegations are

oh damn that's really fucked up

None of the stuff in here is bad on its own but with the allegations it’s very “we gave you all the clues”: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vBRtOT_1AKUJ:https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/article-rampb-musician-mike-milosh-on-femininity-and-nakedness-in-art/+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca
