Is the Carly Rae Jepsen album something I might appreciate?

can scarcely believe i'm saying this but that FFS is almost TOO progge - the bit that kicks in after the intro and returns at the end is awesome but there's a but too much (arch and intentional) noodling for me. might well investigate further
this TFUL album is the fucken nuts :D

'tuning notes' is where it leaps off the cliff and becomes a classic album maybe

I was thinking a little bit more today about those "difficult" pieces on MOAS. Although I appreciate the pared-down song-oriented tracklist someone posted in this (or the other) thread, the spacing of those tracks really helps with the sequencing and overall epic flow of the record.. I think that at the time there was some criticism of teh "practice room" pieces in the press but it was also kind of a statement of purpose by the band. At any rate, "Tuning Notes" has perversely become one of my fave tracks from that record as the years have gone by. It's just such a perfect window into their world, a distillation of the practice room experience.

imago, has anyone made you listen to 'mud' off the GABI album entitled 'sympathy' yet and if not, why not?

i'm listening in the minutes before leaving for the doctor's with severe tonsillitis. the fact it's choral is making me plain envious if anything

this is cool, like if someone decided to make slowdive's 'pygmalion' into an opera

I don't wonder if you might dig Japan's Vampillia

apologies my man but that doesn't quite do it for me…a bit lol random w/o much in the way of memorable songwriting or sonic intrigue…but you are encouraged to keep chucking 'em down
― twunty fifteen (imago), Tuesday, 13 October 2015 10:57 (eight years ago) link
Vampillia are frustrating because they can be brilliant but can also be sort of irritating. I like that they're kind of multifaceted but their mix of sincerity and wanton goofball tendencies don't really gel. I have to say that personally I think Ice Fist is a great track though.
They remind me a lot of another band from Japan, Mutyumu, who came a bit before. They're less polished but more refined if that makes sense.
One of their "pop" songs

They had/have some more black metal-tinged material as well. It might be worth pointing out that I despise opera but for some reason I like the voice in this context.

Thanks UUG, never heard of those guys. A couple of friends and I have just started a little radio show playing non mainstream music from Japan, from the last few decades, it's been fun researching lot's of different crazy bands to play.

Yes indeed! Well, I might check out some of your solo votes. Everyone else, check out Re-TROS, a band only denied a place in this poll because they had the ghastly temerity to release more than one excellent song last year

― imago, Thursday, 25 January 2018 22:58 (yesterday)
Just so I'm not cluttering up the singles ballots thread - not sure if any of my other singles votes are particularly LJ-aligned apart from "The Doctrines Of Swedenborg" & "Que Du Bon", but there's a few bits & pieces you might find interesting:
i.e. crazy - non compos mentis (hysterical industrial folk)
https://muzai.bandcamp.com/album/non-compos-mentis
Some vaguely recent Chinese stuff that I'd cluster w/Re-TROS:
Beijing's Chui Wan:
https://chui-wan.bandcamp.com/album/chui-wan
Chengdu's STOLEN: https://site.douban.com/stolen/http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJLuT0Pmg_qaL1-Kb0TD1sALBlp9h4fuJhttps://mimixingdong.bandcamp.com/
Shanghai's Mirrors:https://separatemirrors.bandcamp.com/album/separate-reality
& if you squint a bunch you can vaguely compare this to Jute Gyte...
Shandong black metal band Zuriaake:
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/lake-of-buried-corpses-chinese-metal-band-digs-out-ancient-9872674https://pestproductions.bandcamp.com/album/gu-yan-album
Also you probably saw Siegbran repping Lingua Ignota's two EPs, which are excellent.

ok ie crazy is kind of wonderful
― imago, Friday, 26 January 2018 08:26 (six years ago) link
yeah that was really amazing. wish i'd discovered it before the albums poll deadline! ah well. really strong songwriting all the way through and a wickedly delirious atmosphere.
chui wan closing track 'beijing is sinking' was wonderful
mirrors seem fun, loved the 3rd track. they're one to watch. is there a thread for chinese psych?
diving into the zuriaake now...
― imago, Friday, 26 January 2018 10:33 (six years ago) link
It was very pleasant!
But yeah, i.e. crazy. Incredible. Would have threatened my top 5 if I'd known about it
― imago, Friday, 26 January 2018 12:35 (six years ago) link
Funnily enough, I'd been half-thinking of recommending you Baby Zionov's Henrietta but I unexpectedly stumbled across you repping it on Twitter! There's a nice out-of-flux-y scene in Auckland at the moment with lots of side projects (including their dungeon synth project Gayblade).
There's new i.e. crazy singles trickling out, and you might like Grecco Romank - acid-friend bogan industrial:

i am pals with Baby Zionov on RYM - been mutuals for about 5 years, v thrilled she is finally turning her taste in weird stuff into weird stuff
i forgot that this thread was where i learnt about i.e. crazy too. her new stuff is sounding killer, the comeback single had a great run on the latest peoples_pop poll too
