Heard this album for the first time this week and this is an earworm. Didn't really grabbed me the first time but it has now become one of my favorite releases this year.

First listen it's like between Halfaxa and Visions, but without the joy of Visions. Exciting talent but like some others in here find the music sterile at times, other than Two Weeks.

btw I think she is everything Grimes admires to be look and style wise
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 22 September 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link
ppl reaching for the grimes comparisons really have a small frame of reference even within the always-compare-women-to-women trope (that i'm probably falling into when i bring up vespertine as the closest comparison) (and this year, one of the few records doing a similar thing is probably the new cooly g one, though they *sound* very different)

Yes she wrote all the songs about him in advance of actually dating him because she had a premonition.

Hats of to whoever engineered and recorded vocals for Pendulum.

idg the Grimes comparison, esp considering that Grimes is totally unlistenable
― The Reverend, Monday, 22 September 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
Grimes comparison is consistently the most baffling thing in this thread.
Pendulum was co-produced by Twigs and Paul Epworth and the whole album was engineered by David Wrench, who also did the last three Caribou albums and is on a hell of a roll this year.
― Re-Make/Re-Model, Monday, 22 September 2014 19:31 (nine years ago) link
I get the Grimes comparison, but still, stop.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Monday, 22 September 2014 19:34 (nine years ago) link
not really baffling though is it when she has a very similar voice over electronic production and dances around in the same way? You just sound like you don't like the comparison.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 22 September 2014 20:06 (nine years ago) link
You sound like you're paying a fuck of a lot more attention to the "dancing around" (bcz that's what gurls do, amirite?) than to the music, the production, or even their voices.

― Aphex T (wins) (Branwell with an N), Monday, 22 September 2014 20:13 (nine years ago) link
"electronic production" is not really a similarity, is it
they definitely don't have similar voices
just realised i've never seen a video by either! had no idea about the dancing, not that it's relevant

HA, yeah because her dance isn't like a key part of everything she is and does at all is it? And her image shes carefully created again means nothing does it? You've managed to be condescending to dance while trying to be condescending to someone mentioning it
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 22 September 2014 20:23 (nine years ago) link
You're the guy who acts like her dates are career moves, and you're calling me condescending?
This is a boring new troll, and I'm not engaging it further.

Riiiight, yeah their voices aren't ssimilar at all, I mean i doubt one of them is even human and has human like vocal chords
I've been a fan of her music before I even knew who made it.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Monday, 22 September 2014 20:26 (nine years ago) link
Would you have a problem with someone saying Jay and Beyonce, Chris Brown Rihanna, Ye/Kim and every other celeb couple are in it for careers too? Or is that too sensitive topic?

"every celebrity couple is faking their relationship for the sake of their career" is an interesting one. #illuminati territory?

I can hear the Martina thing but the crucial difference for me is that when Martina (or Cooly G) sing it's all...unaffected, half speaking, regipnal accents, some girl you'd overhear on the bus, anygirl in the best way. Whereas Twigs is more deliberate and conscious detachment, lofty unaccented pure "playing a role in art school" voices
― lex pretend, Monday, 22 September 2014 21:24 (nine years ago) link
this sounds absolutely nothing like martina. or grimes. (it would be a lot more interesting if it sounded like martina)
as for the "dates as career moves" thing, the obvious elephant in the room is rpattz and kristen stewart during twilight
― katherine, Monday, 22 September 2014 21:39 (nine years ago) link
i think the detached/lofty/art school voices i'd compare her to are, like, holly herndon and julia holter
― lex pretend, Monday, 22 September 2014 21:57 (nine years ago) link
Shh, use your art school voice.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Monday, 22 September 2014 22:08 (nine years ago) link
holly herndon i almost said for vocally, but as an act the image and sound seem v tricky throwback. this is a compliment.
