Robyn

This is flippant next to that news but actually I am kind of desperate for that behind the scenes with Robyn's boyfriend/director to be a parody otherwise it's like, how could you, Robyn, how could you cheat on me this way? How could you cheat on me with Garth Algar?

show was fun yesterday but way too much Royksopp...

Arthur Russell can be a vexing subject for tribute, for all the many reasons he was peculiar and unique. Few other expressive cellists have proven to be especially good with disco, as he was, and the same applies even more the other way around. Add his capacity — from the 1970s until his death in 1992 — for expressive synth-pop, free-flowing folk and even airs of country music, and the makings of a truly inimitable character are born.

Count it as a feat, then, that Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell pays tribute by throwing more at Russell's musical persona than a musical persona would seem suited to withstand. Assembled as a benefit for the Red Hot Organization's ongoing fight against AIDS (which counts Russell among its victims), the double-length collection gathers figures from indiedom and outsider-music circles of various kinds. José González starts stirringly with a spacey take on "This Is How We Walk On The Moon" that captures the wavering, quavering grain of Russell's singing voice while wandering through sonic flights of fancy that sound out-there and bizarre, but also totally natural. A haunting short bit by the mystical keyboard tickler Lonnie Holley follows before the mood shifts abruptly into one of disco exaltation, by way of Robyn's bright, joyful, intensely horn-strewn cover of "Tell You (Today)."

Yes, came here to post about that--her track is deelightful! The whole thing's really good (although Hot Chip should pump up the volume, esp. if 11 minutes plus, by far the longest, I think; feels it, anyway)(and Banhart is a bit murmury for "Losing My Taste For The Night Life," but esp. considering it's him, not bad). Good range and cohesion, tho my personal faves are disco prisms: versions by Scissor Sisters, Vega Intl., and Robyn.

I really like the Jose Gonzalez cover even thought he does nothing particularly innovative with it.

Can anyone recommend some good remixes of Robyn songs?

Rex The Dog mix of Who's That Girl

i prefer the Feed Me remix of Call Your Girlfriend to the original.

be mine (ocelot mthrfckrs remix)
with every heartbeat (tong & spoon wonderland remix)

Well, this is clearly one of the best things ever:

No idea if it's been mentioned on ILM someplace yet.

it's awesome, as is the indestructible remix by the black madonna

Those are both fantastic, thanks. (christ, that lonely yearning synth line in that GAS remix...)

thank you! the number of views tho Dxx

Robyn + Wolfgang Voigt is the greatest "why didn't I think of that / this was made just for me" collaboration since S'Express + Philip Glass. It's so great.

was listening to Body Talk on the train the other day, still rocks

Youtube number of views? The spotify playlist is the one she links to on her homepage: http://robyn.com/
and it's all here as well: https://soundcloud.com/robyn/sets/rmx-rbn

all 10 tracks = 1 hour = 1 CD too?

duh. should have scrolled down, spotify is 23 tracks already (2 every week still?)

That new Mr. Tophat EP featuring Robyn is too good

kind of wish she'd stop faffing around with these electronic collaboration EPs and get on with the next proper album

yup

it's happening

https://soundcloud.com/snookercrunk/robyn

... very slowly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhGoRj3fn7s

last ep with tophat was dope

https://www.stereogum.com/2007113/new-robyn-single-missing-u-out-next-week/news/

new music coming at last!

it's leaked - and it goes hard

wow - after 8 years and all those not-amazing dance EPs i really did not have confidence she still had the impulses i fell in love with way back when but... this is wonderful!

look i don't wanna take full credit for this solely because my six-week-old daughter's middle name is 'robyn' but i think i deserve say 75% of the credit

This is a brilliant return. I'm so relieved!

Hope the album announcement comes soon.

she's still as good as ever, super excited for this album between this and Honey

can somebody link goddamn it

please please please

need this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqtpFQRjuOU

this might work but is blocked in some places

blocked 4 me :(

i will VPN it tonight

I like this, but also it drives me crazy the same way With Every Heartbeat did. It's all build without the explosive payoff. I need some goddamn snare and not just kick and high hat.

the not-amazing dance eps were still very solid!

It's streaming here. I like it (the synths especially) but think I prefer Honey - https://newhothiphop.co/robyn-missing-u/amp

i absolutely love the top hat ep - especially disco devato (sp)

hm ok this is cute but also feels really contrived and self-canonizing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICiyddrnqdw

Five years from Robyn to the Body Talk EPs felt like an eternity. Her cancelling both solo tours and the Royksopp tour to Australia might be contributing, but eight years since Body Talk just feels like "I wonder if those EPs that never got CD releases were any good?"

but monument tho

that is a bop

non-film version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o5BHH9U2Mg

brilliant stuff

'a bop' now simply refers to any good track regardless of how it sounds? gigi masin's latest album is full of bops

love this

yeah this needs to stop
