The purpose built next generation interstellar Dawn Richard thread

Has she ever listened to Nona Hendryx's Skindiver?

I was always a nerd

Lots of celebrities say things like that -- I was a nerd, I was a geek -- and I'm sure it's true for some number of them. But Dawn's nerd cred is pretty undeniable. Not many people have named a band after their own anime character.

Also, reading that made me finally finish the review of Redemption I started a while ago, so fwiw it's here: http://bit.ly/2jnV2z4

ive been listening to this album a tonne in the past week. so many good tracks it's hard to pick a favorite. hell even valhalla has one of my favorite moments of the album on it

Nice piece, tipsy.

Thanks!

yeah very nice!

There's also a remix of "Vines" up on soundcloud:

oh and a CD of Redemption with "unreleased bonus tracks" (more remixes?) coming in Feb, I gather

So she's got a collaboration with David Longstreth (Dirty Projectors) coming out, according to his interview in Pitchfork

I shouldna doubted her - https://twitter.com/DawnRichard/status/823990273512353792

11 folks voted for her album in the Voice critics poll

are we going to talk about this or what

you mean this dirty projectors/dawn richard track? kicks ass

Love that Solange wrote this track

Dirty Projectors are real hit and miss with me but this is dope

Lol at Dave Longstreth's mastery of one facial expression in this video

i fuck with this

Video is unwatchable but the song is cool

I hear violence?

Redemption is out on CD and vinyl as of last Monday (in the UK anyways). More accurately, the title RedemptionHeart appears to have been revived for the physical release.

The CD has two previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Hurricane" and "Van Gogh". The latter sounds like a keeper judging by the clips on Juno:

You can listen to both "Hurricane" and "Van Gogh" here. "Van Gogh" is ace

She was excellent in her Pitchfork debut last Friday afternoon.

I am so bummed that I missed her! (And you!) Damn redeye jetlag. But she's playing down the block from me tomorrow, so.

you were there? Aw.

yay maura

maura and I caught this last night. Holy shit. She was INCREDIBLE. She gave a rapturous audience in a small club 2 straight hours of fire, and THAT VOICE. Holy shit.

damn

She was greeting people and taking pictures with fans afterward. I thought about sticking around to talk to her but a) after doing what she just did, I didn't want to make her talk any more than she had to, and b) I am old and wanted to go home.

sounds awesome DJP

love Gravity

Redemptionheart is probably my fave album of last year. Impeccable sequencing and the album has both sides of a coin, the second half is super chill and a great way to go after the euphoric highs of the first. Lilies picks up the momentum but doesn't deliver the beats the way the first half does, and for that it's all the more powerful, and the vocalizations in the track harken back to early dawn (like goldenheart) so that makes me happy!
