theo parrish s/d

Feel like all of the big three albums (First Floor, Parallel Dimensions, American Intelligence) would be fine starting points, though I listen to the latter two more regularly.

oh yes of course, Reaction to Plastic, I forgot about that one, ,always forget thats a Theo track

caning the ugly edits tonight

kind of the definitive version of "the love i lost" for me at this point

god I love the bside on that one

fav prob is the freddie hubbard

yeah.. just gorgeous!!

we just had a dance to "get on down"

are these still impossible to get on vinyl? i've only ever had the cd

not impossible i guess if you want to drop $30 and gamble on international shipping right now...

i really love "slick" too. listening to these after a long time because we watched "foxy brown" for the first time tonight (wow!) and the willie hutch soundtrack and all

this is the release i needed this year

Proud to announce the forthcoming LP from
Theo Parrish, "Wuddaji"
Available Friday September 18th
on soundsignature.net

Wow that first track snippet is IT

it all sounds super dope tbh.

got nicely toasted and put this on

thank u based theo

omfg the title track

incredible album

it's more raw than the last one but spins so much out of it incl. a lot of joy.

the sound is more raw but i mean the keyboarding is next-level jazz playing and the palette within the rawness bursts open into this surprising and colorful landscape.

it's also very sick as far as being a rhythmic / dance record and i would like to hear it on a "system" very much.

HennyWeed BuckDance is a right tune!

it's good times

Great stuff. “Knew Better Do Better” and “Angry Purple Birds” are highlights for me.

"angry purple birds" is great, i love when it gets to the piano at the end, reminds me of "parallel dimensions" in a way

this album is amazing, so warm and intricate. the vinyl is way way cheaper thru sound signature direct than anywhere else i've seen

yeah! ss web store is great and really well-designed.

for all the love you give sacrificially, this is for you

^^^^

Also “Knew Better Do Better” is just wiled.

i love how knotty and jazzy this record is, especially when i think about it in comparison with the amazing use of space on american intelligence, which i also love

also "this is for you" just sends me straight up to heaven

Top album of the year right here. He doesn’t sound like anyone else.

Any idea why Kung Fu Shoes is not on spotify?

spacing on which song atm but i love how one of the records starts off sounding like off the cuff improvised noodling that slowly coheres into something really elaborate and purposeful, it's like watching a creation evolve from a sketch to a song in real time

^^

very nicely put, d-40

the sound of this album is low-key incredible, the keys are pillow-soft, the drum machines have such a nice crunch. everything's up-front but and kind of raw but there are layers and blending and full spectrum / space. idk but it sounds like tape was involved? also idk but there's probably sampler-playing to get the subtle phasing effects that show up now and then? pretty sure this is my #2 album of the year after beatrice dillon.

this is becoming one of my favorite albums of the year, it’s so invigorating

Moka, that track is a vinyl-only exclusive.

This record rules.

Chris Richards , Washington Post music critic loves new Theo Parrish album Wuddaji

that's a nice review.

"this is for you" is so, so good.

i know there's a whole other thread for these kinds of songs but Angry Purple Birds reminds me a bit of the Earthbound soundtrack

thought for sure this revive would be about the absolutely massive new 3 chairs release : Parrish, moodyman, and marcellus Pittman laying down endless loose and hypnotic grooves

new? do you mean the digital file comp?

don’t forget rick wilhite

yeah "new" i guess. and yes you're right, my bad.

anyways it slaps

some of the greatest stuff ever. “good kiss”, “blue out”...

RAIN FOR MFING JIMI

yeah, it's really good, I shelled out for it without a moment of hesitation

incredible collection; they make it sound so easy

New EP, Smile, is lovely; having a hard time not listening to Lost Angel over and over right now.

it’s old material (as I think was noted elsewhere):
