maybe a single a year isn't so cruel
i mean a full album of this all at once could be beyond the limits of human capacity

but yeah when i interviewed them they pretty much said it took them a year to do three songs

they were totally wonderful tonight and uh all the new songs are basically the same caliber as everything they've released so far

When "The Story" is the weakest thing they've put out to date, that's pretty astonishing.

Even the Red Hot + Fela track is amazing.

(talked to some industry people who i respect who saw them at APAP and said they seemed "academic"; i am very curious to hear for myself)
― from the perspective of a gay man, i will post them now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:33 (eight years ago) link
what does "academic" mean in that context?
paris (the multi-instrumentalist) is a tremendous synth nerd
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:35 (eight years ago) link
nah i live in boston and am traveling too much. but i am writing about them. i thought they were incredible at great scott in 2014.
― maura, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:36 (eight years ago) link
yeah they're great live. i saw them at lpr two years ago and it was such a gentle, sweet show
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:37 (eight years ago) link
xp by "academic" i believe she meant technically polished but not especially present... which she hastened to point out could mean they just had an off night and were falling back on training to keep them afloat. She buttressed all that with a "it's not that every act has to lead with their soul but i thought KING certainly would"

If it follows the pattern of the annual song they've released for the past few years, this...should be close to my favourite album of the decade.
sounding good so far!
― art baengels (monotony), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:15 (eight years ago) link
yeah this is pretty nuts, the first song wasn't my fav but glad i stuck with it instead of going over to rihanna right away cos damn does everything sound good. need to hear hq tho

I stopped the Rihanna to play this haha.

chord progression in the bridge of "the right one" is essentially the peak of music for me
i know i'm gonna fill this thread with hyperbole but i really feel that
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:50 (eight years ago) link
does "the greatest" sound even more like an infinite swirl in album context? yes

^ so great, and his song with Kadhja Bonet is even better (guess it was on last year's album but there's a new, more Sade-fied version that's amazing)

have you guys listened to this deutsche grammophon thing they did?
https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/catalogue/products/prelude-en-la-mineur-we-are-king-12510
it's . . . absolutely gorgeous and i guess i'd like an ambient album from them now.

i mean . . . singers unlimited meets debussy doesn't seem like such a bad idea, now that i think of it.
anyway, if you have ninety seconds and enjoy beautiful sounds, there you go.
