Beauty Pill - Beauty Pill Describes Things As They Are

^^ tbh, i never listened to the album since then, and at the time i didn't really gave it that much of a chance.

I discovered Describes in late February and have been kicking my own ass ever since: the album I wished I'd heard in 2015.

Plus he wrote liner notes for the new Arto Lindsay album coming out in APril

I've had this back in rotation the past month and it is sooo good

it really really holds up, last five tracks are an especially amazing run

think 'dog with rabbit in mouth, unharmed' is my pick these days

listening to king krule's new album, reflecting on how if it weren't rubbish it might sound a bit like this album

On Tuesday in a post shared w/ the public on Facebook, Jean Cook said she is leaving Beauty Pill. Her last live gig with them is tonight at a special $49 ticket benefit with panel discussion thing at the Howard Theatre in DC. She notes she has deep love and respect for the generosity and commitment of the group’s members.

My brother sent me this album for my birthday this year. My god, it's incredible. I've been humming "Ann the Word," "For Pretend," and "Steven and Tiwonge" nonstop since I heard them.

:)

very good album, hope they do another one at some pont

.... why did i imagine this whole time that you already loved this record djp

So glad I got to see them record parts of this at Artisphere in Arlington, then saw the installation, then finally heard the finished thing - it's an amazing record that clearly took a long time to gestate, and it all paid off. By the sounds of it their old label can get fucked, although hopefully it'll be back up on streaming soon. (IIRC Chad has the rights, finally, and it's tied up in some sort of legal issue at the moment.)

XP: probably because it is an extremely DJP album

Amazing album

this is the best album ever made

there's a new EP coming soon, they just put it on bandcamp if you want to join the preordering fun. preview track is lovely

one of my favorite prince quotes is a heavily featured lyric in that song

I was pretty sure I instantly knew which lyric you meant, but had to look it up and I'm glad I did.

Upsetting news from yesterday that Chad Clark was hospitalized due to problems with his artificial heart

This tweet from today is encouraging

Hello, good people. I am alive another day!

I am in a very good hospital with very smart doctors. I have health insurance.

Some other good news: I am at the very top of the heart transplant list.

My current heart is a ticking time bomb, but I remain optimistic I will survive.

Wow

He just posted via Bandcamp that a new heart has been found and he's going into surgery in a few hours.

And good news this morning.

Friends: Chad @beautypill is out of surgery. New ❤️ is working well. He will be sedated to recover until tomorrow.

I will continue to update as I know more. Thank you for all of your love, support, and good vibes.
