belatedly listening to lemonade for the first time. it could actually be really good if it stuck to the hyper-sacharine-delirium-pop segment and got rid of the rest. but otherwise, its just a very weird throwaway. keep thinking there must be a better edit of it somewhere and that this is just a (terrible) teaser. hard is a tiny bit better though the vocals are still on a ting tings level of irritation and it just seems like someone is trying too hard/thinking theyre being hilariously challenging. reminds me a bit of raffertie.

So for those of you who missed it the Boiler Room stream was a lot of fun (excluding the long gaps where setup for the next act took too long and we were stuck with a minimal dj / random shots of the club accompanied by downtempo music). The "Sophie" performance featured some muscular girl up at the decks playing new tunes while the genuine article flitted about dressed as a security guard; the new stuff was pretty great, generally really uptempo (though I suppose he wouldn't unveil the downtempo stuff at a club gig). Also none of them ran under 2 minutes. :)I've excerpted a few of my faves:http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/27521424/file.htmlhttp://www46.zippyshare.com/v/69964662/file.htmlhttp://www55.zippyshare.com/v/9516052/file.html
The QT segment of the show was basically an in-club ad for the "energy elixir" (played over the speakers while she sat on a couch reading a magazine) followed by "Hey QT" - interestingly she seemed to be singing along even though her mic wasn't turned on. I've got that audio too:http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/31601250/file.html

Managed to snag a video of her Teragram show before it got flagged on Youtube, and suffice to say if she has an album on the way t' the material is there for it to be a killer.Also her live thing is coming to NYC in Februrary 2018, which will probably have even more new stuff on the setlist:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sophie-elsewhere-hall-tickets-41120273846?_eboga=112619228.1512754472(Watch out for returned tickets, I guess?)

I saw her live on Friday night and it was pretty mediocre - a trance breakdown that went nowhere for a good ten mins and then some bouncing David Guetta nonsense that used interesting sound design to disguise a lack of innovation

I love most of this but Ponyboy, Faceshopping and Whole New World (Pretend World is good though) don't really do much for me
so much better than Product which was such a disappointment - she had so many good unreleased tracks she'd played live and in mixes but none of them made it onto that

as far as the 'heavier' tracks go i love the sound design on them but grooves they settle into don't do much for me? maybe I'd like them more with less of the vocals on Faceshopping and Ponyboy?
Immaterial is my favourite thing she's done since Bipp and the whole sequence from Is It Cold In The Water? to it is fantastic.

I had never really understood her music-- just felt like it wasn't my thing. Yesterday I listened to a bunch of her songs, and felt profound grief that I'd somehow missed something before, and that I wouldn't be able to enjoy more in the future. Then, last night, I had a lucid dream where I was a helper to a neuroatypical adult who was trying to communicate with their friend, another neuroatypical adult, through a Plexiglas screen, and the both of them were crying because they couldn't communicate properly, then 'Its Okay to Cry' started playing in the dream and I woke up sobbing.
Something in the air. Horrible news.

Great thoughts Ned, and loved the quote you singled out, the desire "to make the brightest, most intense, engaging thing." It started me thinking who else was doing that and the most obvious answer (apart from AG Cook of course) was Yasutaka Nakata (Perfume, Capsule, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu etc.). Does anyone know if SOPHIE and Nakata interacted? I was thrilled when Autechre did the first ever SOPHIE remix.Also apologies for my use of "her" to refer to the artist upthread, I learned from Philip Sherburne's brilliant p4k piece that SOPHIE disliked both gendered and nonbinary pronouns. https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/remembering-sophies-radical-futurism/
