whoa nice! intriguing softer sound, interpolating pop-rap tropes while keeping it decidedly recondite & modernist

that sounds much better than the earlier album
also I still h8 lyric videos but that lyric video is cool

what didn't you like about the earlier album? one of my favourite rap albums of...all time, really - completely stunning to me

it was literally unlistenable iirc

Williams Mix (Feat. Tom Erbe)
very cool Tom chose this way to put this out instead of some new music compilation. this track is actually a realization of a piece by John Cage from 1952, thousands of samples all splices together in under five minutes. original version took 1-2 years for Cage / Tudor / the Barrons to assemble by hand, Tom's written software that assembles a brand new edit from a library of source files every time you hit play. but yeah if they ended their last album essentially with a cover version of 'It's Gonna Rain' putting a Cage realization at the end of this one makes perfect sense
their SF show at Public Works last year was great, want to hear this

It's got some crazy strong points but the sound of his singing in the chorus of "Tonight" is grating as hell and really drags down the middle of the album for me. When I remember to skip it the album's significantly more satisfying.
― Fetchboy, Thursday, 1 May 2014 02:47 (nine years ago) link
I like the way "Get Up" blossoms around 2:15, but for the first two minutes I want to smash the snooze button on my stereo.
― franklin, Thursday, 1 May 2014 03:34 (nine years ago) link
Am I being crazy or does the chorus of Tonight sound like a purposeful vamp on fun.'s big hit?

I think its a mistake to take all of the lyrics on face value.
― it definitely wasn't designed to be a pants pocket player (stevie), Tuesday, 3 June 2014 07:34 (nine years ago) link
i was grabbed by the production first, with a mental note to come back and figure out what's going on with the lyrics.
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 3 June 2014 14:04 (nine years ago) link
'story 2' is a fun little time signature game, it works too.
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 3 June 2014 15:59 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I'm assuming there's some irony/subtext/etc going on with the lyrics I didn't catch on my one superficial listen but for now file it under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF2ayWcJfxo

Yeah I don't know, "satire" is a pretty weak defense if the satire just consists of repeating the same tropes. I really have no interest in debating about this, I'm just saying it's keeping me from fully connecting with the album.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 3 June 2014 16:20 (nine years ago) link
luckily i'm suuuper good at ignoring lyrics
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 3 June 2014 16:23 (nine years ago) link
not sure which lyrics ppl are thinking of but all the women on this album are badass/in control whereas all the male characters are despondent/ridiculous/doomed. that's what I took away from it

New album, Splendor and Misery is out on September 9. It's an (deep breath)...
Afrofuturist, dystopian concept album that follows the sole survivor of a slave uprising on an interstellar cargo ship, and the onboard computer that falls in love with him. Thinking he is alone and lost in space, the character discovers music in the ship’s shuddering hull and chirping instrument panels. William and Jonathan’s tracks draw an imaginary sonic map of the ship’s decks, hallways, and quarters, while Daveed’s lyrics ride the rhythms produced by its engines and machinery. In a reversal of H.P. Lovecraft’s concept of cosmic insignificance, the character finds relief in learning that humanity is of no consequence to the vast, uncaring universe. It turns out, pulling the rug out from under anthropocentrism is only horrifying to those who thought they were the center of everything to begin with. Ultimately, the character decides to pilot his ship into the unknown—and possibly into oblivion—instead of continuing on to worlds whose systems of governance and economy have violently oppressed him.
