was inititally turned off by the ariel pink associations & first listen didn't grab me but this has really gotten its hooks in me....quite a beautiful album

not stylistically (not much jazz or r&b in this), but there's some spirit here some sadness that reminds me of laura nyro

i really hate to be that guy but i've listened to tears on fire a couple of times and it just makes me want AP to get back to his 'roots'.

I can't find much to dislike

calstars, Thursday, 12 January 2017 01:25 (seven years ago) link

Is the full EP out there? I've listened to Tears on Fire nonstop for the last couple of days. It's very addictive.

It's out and it's good. In fact I prefer some of it to her last album, which was mostly quite down-trodden but beautiful nonetheless. Especially like the callback to Shangri-Las girl group narration on the second track.

Saw them live in SF for Noise Pop. Good god is Natalie Mering's voice is incredible. Well worth checking out if they're nearby.

octobeard, Saturday, 25 February 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link

Yeah she strikes me as the real thing

calstars, Saturday, 25 February 2017 21:19 (seven years ago) link

I love their new record. Are the older ones good too?

kornrulez6969, Sunday, 26 February 2017 16:35 (seven years ago) link

Are "they" a band now? When I saw Weyes Blood it was just Mering backed by tapes.

they're a really good band, soft machine covers and all (and yeah when I saw 'them' first it was just her)

imago, Sunday, 26 February 2017 17:29 (seven years ago) link

It was Nilsson covers when I saw her.

example (crüt), Sunday, 26 February 2017 17:52 (seven years ago) link

maybe it was just a special treat for her british audience

imago, Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:31 (seven years ago) link

For lack of a better term she's a part of the A Pink "family" in LA. Shares 5hags with Pink's touring band. Video directed by Pink's girlfriend. Etc

calstars, Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:50 (seven years ago) link

Sorry for staring the obvious. Just trying and failing to make the point that she's the band. Like No Joy is Jasmine's, Lansing Dreiden is Jorge's and so on.

calstars, Sunday, 26 February 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link

The further back you go, the noisier her music gets, and the melodies turn medieval. The Outside Room is excellent in a very different way - more like Marissa Nadler collaborating with Demdike Stare.

Oh wow... OK that sounds interesting.

Evan, Monday, 27 February 2017 15:17 (seven years ago) link

I meant to type "her" above. There is no band

six months pass...

excellent new single

i segued into it right in the middle of the new susanne sundfor album and tt didn't even notice, they've converged somewhat lol

imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 07:30 (six years ago) link

what's the new one called? It's passed me by completely

boxedjoy, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:19 (six years ago) link

'a certain kind'

good 'everybody's talkin'' cover on the b-side too. releasing singles with b-sides in 2017 is a cool move and i endorse it

imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:26 (six years ago) link

Oh cool, she's been playing "Everybody's Talkin" at live shows for a few years now

crüt, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:43 (six years ago) link

still absolutely can't fucking believe brainwashed.com readers voted FRSTE the second-WORST album of last year. proper fucking neckbeard shit

imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 17:15 (six years ago) link

maybe weyes blood triggers sensitive swansbro morons particularly effectively

imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link

gira sucks

Week of Wonders (Ross), Friday, 8 September 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link

was she particularly vocal in larkin's corner

imago, Saturday, 9 September 2017 02:46 (six years ago) link

or are these people simply threatened by a woman daring to write psych-pop

imago, Saturday, 9 September 2017 03:06 (six years ago) link

The single is so great, I was just thinking/hoping she'd release studio versions of those covers a few days ago!

🔱 Holger Jowday ^🌑^ (Dancing on the Pylons), Saturday, 9 September 2017 13:48 (six years ago) link

Oh shit I didn't realise the A-side was that awesome Soft Machine cover she'd been doing!

imago, Sunday, 10 September 2017 12:08 (six years ago) link

Yeah! I so hope to see her play it in concert one day 🙏 It wasn't on the setlist (yet) for her great great great Raleigh show last... November? A couple of days before the election, ugh.

Her last EP is up there but that last LP sums up heartbreak so well and the fall out of a relationship. A +

kolakube (Ross), Saturday, 13 January 2018 06:48 (six years ago) link

four weeks pass...

Ariel pink collab is some of her finest stuff

kolakube (Ross), Monday, 12 February 2018 17:37 (six years ago) link

Wouldn't go that far, but it's very good. Her last two solo albums have been amongst the best music of the decade

imago, Monday, 12 February 2018 17:39 (six years ago) link

Absolutely love the last full length but there's a playfulness on the EP that's a nice change

kolakube (Ross), Monday, 12 February 2018 17:43 (six years ago) link

Yes - and in the covers single from last year as well. It will be extremely interesting to see what her next move is.

imago, Monday, 12 February 2018 17:47 (six years ago) link

damn thanks for the reminder regarding the covers imago, will check again

kolakube (Ross), Monday, 12 February 2018 17:48 (six years ago) link

The second verse of Used To Be should be sent into space as a document of humanity

imago, Monday, 12 February 2018 17:49 (six years ago) link

^ yeah!

couldn't find any posts or threads but i think this band has something to do with weyes blood? lush psych, excellent stuff

Very good record, that one. What's the Weyes Blood connection?

Mungolian Jerryset (bendy), Thursday, 10 May 2018 01:33 (five years ago) link

ya this is nice

imago, Thursday, 10 May 2018 08:58 (five years ago) link

i think they did a split w/ weyes blood and possibly shared a member or two at some point

man if lana del rey had put out 'front row seat to earth' yall wdve gone *apeshit*

imago, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 16:38 (five years ago) link

Not enough swear words.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 16:50 (five years ago) link

not enough going for the most obvious melody in any given situation

imago, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 16:52 (five years ago) link

that's harsh, ldr isn't bad. but god what did weyes blood have to do to get everyone's attention. she even wrote do you need my love' and got shrugs

imago, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 16:53 (five years ago) link

Maybe it would help if she re-wrote a famous Radiohead song.

But seriously, the reason why LDR gets so much more attention is because she's had a lot of mainstream success and Weyes Blood hasn't.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 17:18 (five years ago) link

also maybe sooooooomething to do with image? they are both extremely pretty but LDR makes much more of a show of it/her visage

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link

also Weyes Blood's music was pretty "weird" before Front Row

alpine static, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 17:47 (five years ago) link

Weyes rules. Drug dealer collbs dope too
