most west coast sounding thing he's done in 10 years

Lissvik has really let himself go. I can't believe I turned off L'Rain to listen to that.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:53 (six years ago) link
Is the whole L'Rain album in this vein? Because this is astonishing.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:54 (six years ago) link
also, as someone recently pointed out on the thread, "atejle" is swedish for "studio", from the same etymology as "atelier"
― gr8080, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:54 (six years ago) link
On one hand this is very light and bouncy and "west coast," but on the other hand it sounds like a mid-90s Blur album cut.

Tinseltown is one of the good songs on one of the year's most disappointing records.I must protest, dunno where ILM got the idea that there's anything disappointing about that record, it's as good as most Destroyer records, that is, it's not as good as Rubies or Kaputt or Nighthawk, but it's pretty damn good!
47 DUA LIPA ft. MIGUEL "Lost In Your Light" [179 points, 5 votes, 2 first place votes]this otoh I have no idea what the appeal is and there is so much compression on her voice it's hardly human
― niels, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link
I should've voted for 'Zephyr' over '50/50' really - the former is as good as his stuff from ten years ago if you prefer his long instrumental meanders.
― nashwan, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:57 (six years ago) link
Pretty much all mainstream pop is mastered like that now and TBF Dua Lipa has a good enough voice that she'd probably benefit from a lot more space in her records.

Meant to vote for Atelje but did tracks ballot in a rush and forgot (same for Oktoberklubben although don't imagine that will place).Great track and as mentioned the most Studio thing he's done in years.
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:00 (six years ago) link
i voted for 'zephyr' instead. also voted for oktoberklubben, but i'm guessing i'm the only one

The brightness of the production does that Lissvik record no favours at all, particularly the vocals - part of the whole appeal of West Coast was the *haze*, this just feels like its sitting there in the unforgiving bright lights.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:03 (six years ago) link
you're an unforgiving bright light

I liked the Atelje album from a year or two back, but this is pretty weakkinda want to punch this guy for singing "ring the alarm" :/

that 'girl front' is the best k-pop to place so far imo, i voted for 'new' though

oh hey what's up karl. hope "new" places but it's seeming rll unlikely at this point
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:09 (six years ago) link
oh I didn't know Atelje had done new stuff. The dubby album he did a while ago was amazing

This for me too, but I've compensated by listening to it 1000 times in the past two weeks

actually, further to Matt's question about L'Rain...while the rest is in that vein, it's probably a bit chiller - this one, being longer and climactic, gets a bit more into a swirling-death-disco-jam vibe. but hopefully you'll like the rest just as much
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:18 (six years ago) link
I didn't realize Atelje was the guy from Studio. I heard the song through the noms and was getting bad late 90s vibes of stuff like Sublime, Smash Mouth and Jack Johnson from it for some reason.

In 40 tracks, we've only spread across 56 points. A few votes could've shifted a lot of these around.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
the Little Big Town album from a couple years back is pretty classic, never got around to The Breaker tho.
love the Atelje, gj voting for it gr8080.it didn't make my ballot bc i forgot it. Lissvik hasn't stepped wrong much in the post-Studio years imo.
― omar little, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
Really happy with the results so far, got a bunch of electronic stuff to check out and very few duds (look what you made me do, I'm looking at you)

77 LUIS FONSI ft. DADDY YANKEE "Despacito" [146 points, 8 votes] As someone from Latin America I don’t know if I should feel proud or ashamed of this one conquering the world in 2017.
75 MINOR SCIENCE "Volumes" [150 points, 5 votes]This sounds amazing on headphones. I don’t remember if I voted for it but happy it made it.
72 LAUREL HALO "Moontalk" [152 points, 4 votes, 1 first place vote]This was pretty high on my ballot. It makes the alien-sounding familiar-sounding.
71 TORNADO WALLACE ft. SUI ZHEN "Today" [153 points, 5 votes, 1 first place vote]I got married in March and this album was one of the soundtracks of my honeymoon while vacationing on some tropical paradises so I have extra fondness for it.
69 KEDR LIVANSKIY "Ariadna" [156 points, 5 votes]I’ll take credit for being the first person to mention her on ilxor. Hasn’t evolved her sound that much and I liked her past EP much better.
61 BRIAN ENO with KEVIN SHIELDS "Only Once Away My Son" [163 points, 6 votes]Only listened to it for the names of the people involved but can’t imagine they were too excited about working together.
TIE-59 DRAKE "Passionfruit" [164 points, 8 votes] I’m sorry Drake haters on ilm, I unashamedly love this. Sat comfortably alongside all the reggaeton and tropical house trends this year but still sounded refreshingly different from everything else at the top 40.
TIE-59 CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG "Deadly Valentine (Soulwax Remix)" [164 points, 8 votes] [80 points for original] I was a bit disappointed with the songs Soulwax released this year but this remix makes up for it.
56 NILÜFER YANYA "Baby Luv" [168 points, 5 votes] Love her voice. Not many singers can make a song this naked feel interesting and powerful.
TIE-54 L'RAIN "Which Fork/I'll Be" [170 points, 5 votes] This is a new one for me. Super saturated but I can vibe to this. Cool discovery.
51 ST. VINCENT "New York" [172 points, 8 votes] Odd choice for a single in 2017. Pretending this song is an eulogy for David Bowie makes me like it.
50 PATRICE BÄUMEL "Glutes" [175 points, 5 votes, 1 first place vote] I want to take this song for a ride.
49 KAMASI WASHINGTON "Truth" [176 points, 7 votes] Didn’t paid attention to this one until now and it’s really majestic. Those drum fills!
48 DESTROYER "Tinseltown Swimming In Blood" [177 points, 6 votes, 1 first place vote] I’m an absolute idiot for any song that has that signature “new order” bass sound. One of the best songs he has released in an 80’s style but got me falsely excited for the Ken album.
46 CHILDISH GAMBINO "Redbone" [181 points, 6 votes] My younger friends are fans of this album and I don’t really get the appeal.
43 ATELJE "50/50" [197 points, 6 votes, 1 first place vote] Yes, the lyrics are too stupid but I have a weak spot for any balearic pop revival and Lissvik is one of the best ones working on this sound.
41 WOLF ALICE "Don't Delete The Kisses" [202 points, 8 votes] This song becomes a magic spell after 3am.
