So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

this must be some kind of nadir of "this kind of music"

the most conscious hip-hop artist alive today

"After surviving the hype of a major label deal, the band parted ways with Epic Records in order to pursue a distinct creative vision

lol

NO.

NO!

FUCK YOU

somehow, the bit after the song finishes is even worse

the misfortune i wish upon them is probably disease-related, or maybe they're forced to choose between their dog and their home studio at gunpoint

sexi vid

Her expression in the screenshot above is enough to make me want to punch things, I'm not putting myself through actually watching it. These people are an easy target for rage but my god do they deserve it.

Also this is brilliant:

why is he shaking an apple?

how can they live with themeselves. i would be so embarassed.

You never hear about Pomplamoose anymore...

They got married, assume they're spending their time trying to make an awful, awful child.

I think there's a 99% chance that the 'moose has seen this thread. Wonder what they make of it.

their baby is named ILM

"I guess I kinda don't like how there's such a pedestal for music culture and especially for band culture, it just feels fake; it feels like smoke and mirrors. I feel like music doesn't have to be like that. It can be something that's very normal and very accessible."

fwiw they're talking about the way their videos play out: like the kutiman "thru you" thing, all the images on the screen correspond to sounds being produced in the song. so like if there's four-part harmony they shove in four shots of the girl singing all the different parts, etc.

i guess they imagine a world where no one understands multi-track recording

i mean you gotta sing it four times, right. like that actually happens in reality, for your four-part harmony you gotta sing four times.

I was today years old when I learned the guy in Pomplamoose is the co-founder/CEO of Patreon

twee aesthetic has been barely held back from the mainstream for a long time. xmas 2k10 was the dam breaking. there's no turning back now.

chillingly prophetic

the 'moose has juice

man this has made me long strongly for the days when pomplamousse was the most offensive thing we had to talk about
:(

Amazing that with all the money they're raking in from Patreon itself they're still milking fans for $10k a month.

kudos to those twee ass bitches

is this the band that made a music video to explain why they got divorced

Given such a gift for the separation of fools from their monies, it's no wonder they've attracted some many Alt-Righters to the service.

Just realized I have been conflating them with Karmin

karmin are like 35% more drama kid which is to say theyre 100% drama kid

lmao aren't all the "alt-right"/"intellectual dark web" folks like Jordan Peterson boycotting patreon because they banned Milo

it was intellectual titan sargon of akkad's banning that caused the uproar iirc, they've long since abandoned milo

No idea where else to put this, he's obviously supernaturally blessed with the gift of making music but the weapons-grade smugness in the way they all telegraph the music is at once heroic and confusing.

wow i hate that, good job
that fucking faux-bobby mcferrin-mouth-rhythm intro to the third song

Jacob Collier is an English singer, arranger, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in London, England. In 2012, his homemade split-screen video covers of popular songs, such as Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing", began to go viral on YouTube.

yes, of course

On January 1 2018, Collier began working on Djesse, an ambitious four-volume, 40-song album. It's been described as a "journey through every musical genre under the sun",[citation needed] featuring more than two dozen artists and ensembles.

great

yeah, jacob is a musical genius, clearly blessed with a supernatural understanding of harmony, but whose original music i can't stand for more than half a second. he'd prob be a pretty good producer.

Meanwhile, Karmin is busy flipping houses in Studio City
https://www.latimes.com/business/real-estate/story/2019-07-19/pop-duo-karmin-find-fan-of-studio-city-midcentury

“their hits include”

citation needed

I had literally forgotten about the very existence of Karmin.

That house is beautiful, though.

Can't believe the writer completely snubs the Qveen Herby era.

YouTube keeps telling me I might like this trending new video that is apparently nataly dawn covering “truth hurts” on solo banjo and I assure the algorithm that no, I might not

*would like to assure wtf

"Patreon has started a program called Patreon Capital, which grants micro-loans to creators. It’s essentially a cash advance: you get money now in exchange for some of your future earnings plus a small premium. It’s different from Patreon’s usual business — which is enabling direct subscriptions to people whose work you like, then taking a cut off the top — but it will diversify the company’s revenue, which should make Patreon a more sustainable business."

slowly reinventing the traditional music label model, but with fewer obligations?

I just watched the first half of "We've Got To Break Up" again and I am transported back into a 2012 lol vortex

Trying to imagine eight more nausea inducing words than "Nataly Dawn covering “Truth Hurts” on solo banjo" other than "Donald Trump reelected President of the United States."

Oddly, this just came up in a Facebook ad for me today and I was like, “Hmm yeah this is kinda cool, that bassist and drummer are tight... something a little corny about it though...that keyboard part sounds a little too anxious... why is that guy making such dumb faces...oh”
