SKY FERREIRA

masochism has become the pop chinese democracy

oh hm well she's a guest on the new SSION album: https://www.stereogum.com/1989529/ssion-at-least-the-sky-is-blue-johnny-jewels-moody-midnight-mix-feat-ariel-pink/music/

oh wow Patty Schemel is on the same track! sick

so much for that visual EP lol

if anybody missed it she's also on that new Iceage track, which is pretty good

:(

Is Night Time, My Time one of the more radical albums of the last decade? Like, what else even sounds like this. It's so insanely noisy and bit crushed, but still so damn catchy. I hope the new sees the light of day.

love it, went on another listen yesterday after '24 hours' came up on one of my old playlists

yeah one song sounds just like stereolab on night time - fantastic record tho, absolutely stands the test of time

the album is called masochism because that describes the act of opening this thread still expecting new music

lol otm

this is gonna become like the cassie thread

i mean it already kind of has been for a while

Probably will finish in the top ten if/when we do an albums of the 2010s poll

I still have it in regular rotation on my "new music" playlist

remember how we were supposed to get a 'visual EP' back in March lol

The way I Will pulsates forwards + the riff still thrill me, 5 years later. When it's me your messing, I'm going to teach you a lesson oooh-oh.

sounds like she has stuff she wants to put out but her label doesn't want it out etc.

here she says she's almost done with the first two singles for Masochism.. hopefully they'll indeed see the light of day soon

sigh not again. seems like she has so few consistent allies at her label

another recent-ish "really hope i can put out something very very soon, my label's been screwing me over for years" post

Why does anyone sign with a label at this point

i still believe

I'll wait years between albums if it means she's spared by the label from recording Ryan Tedder shit like "Obsession" ad infinitum.

On a bit of a tweet spree this evening

'Why does anyone sign with a label at this point"

I assume she's under contract from several years ago and can't extricate herself yet.

she signed to a major as a teen 9 years ago and has had nothing but drama with them ever since they failed to get an early hit with her

wait which song sounds like Stereolab? “Ain’t Your Right”?

Omanko sounds like OLV 26

With a healthy dose of of Suicide as well as Stereolab

oh yeah I was thinking that one too

after seeing her interviews and clips of her live performances tho I really do worry NTMT was a fluke and her follow up could very well be a dud.

now starring in the black metal biopic Lords of Chaos(!!)

chromatics dear tommy vs. masochism

Omanko sounds like OLV 26

YEP Nailed it bud

GUESS WHAT THERE'S FINALLY A GOOD REASON TO UPDATE THIS THREAD

YASSSSS!

miracles really do happen, y'all

This exactly what I wanted from her! What I deserved. So happy for Sky.

ok i take back waht i said

Is there a thread yet for "most disturbing pop songs to crack the top ten" yet?

Pretty faithful to the original, but also very 2018.

that Elliot Smith cover upthread is disturbing

cover is surprisingly great for a scratch thing

yeah I was pretty impressed with his guitar playing - that is a hard song to play. no indication in any of DIIV's music that he can play that well. her vocals sound good, too. but it is a heroin song, given the circumstances of the time, i get why it's dark.

the slight dip in the melody of "of" in "there must be something he's thinking of." is great.

Great cover - on record at least she's always had about twice the vocal presence and intensity of Aimee Mann, so it's no surprise that she plumbs something more from this obviously good song than fools like me ever knew was there.

On the topic of the follow-up album, can't anybody Extraordinary Machine this shit? Free Sky!

Aimee>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sky

Yeah, it's a good song for her, but as a demo it sounds pretty undercooked, and doesn't add much to the original.

I am glad that she's starting to put stuff out there and communicate more. I take it as a sign that we will get a new album before too long.

on record at least she's always had about twice the vocal presence and intensity of Aimee Mann

excuse me

Well, she's louder...
