There's a new Hope Sandoval record! Any one excited or heard anything about the sound?

I haven't heard the new album yet but the single with Massive Attack is wonderful

Heard the track with Kurt Vile and I prefer Hope without a vocal companion. Music sounded good though.

Been streaming on NPR for a few days now. It's all fantastic to these ears, esp that nine-minute dreamsong... http://www.npr.org/2016/10/27/499145209/first-listen-hope-sandoval-the-warm-inventions-until-the-hunter

^ Nice, thanks! I love the Burial remix of "Paradise Circus". Perfect track to come down to at the end of the night.

The new album is so good!

It is good in inverse proportion to the extent that it sounds like the Doors. Listening to it a lot, skipping some tracks regularly.

i like the ep, her voice is still as sexy as ever. i didn't like the last album though which had the effect of a sleeping pill on me. somehow an ep seems to be the right form for her music as a complete album is too long as usually there is not enough variation in between the songs, i find.

“Bavarian Fruit Bread” is one of the most perfect albums ever made if you’re in the mood for it.

Also better than any Mazzy Star or Hope Sandoval solo album by a wide margin.

Terrible takes on this thread btw

i was once nurturing a zesty opinion that her second solo LP was better than BFB and all the Mazzy Star LPs, I will need to revisit to see if this feeling even remotely holds up
also saw her live touring that LP and it was an all-time great and beautiful show, which felt at odds with the general reception for her post-Mazzy Star tours (i saw Mazzy Star back in 1994 and they were also great and beautiful)
