I love that she's not a shredder but still plays guitar in a very deliberately unconventional way. Sort of like St. Vincent, except you know Annie wants to break into a metal speed solo at any moment and stops herself.
Anyway, this song is super dope.

I do like this song (and it's not my usual vibe)

She reminded me surface level of Olsen but Madeline is far more dreamy, love the spectral nature combined with those guitars. Agree song is dope

I feel pretty comfortable calling "Cut Me Off" my song of the summer at this point. I've listened to it about 300 times.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 July 2018 16:50 (five years ago) link
Absolutely otm Gorgeous outro too

Cut me off is underrated and Kenney is in general

Truth

Excellent timing for a revive btw. This just dropped today!

had not listened to her before but these new songs are all very captivating, looking forward to the new album
― ufo, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 17:52 (five years ago) link
they're all very dreamy but delightfully off-kilter
― ufo, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link
produced by jenn wasner iirc. very hyped for this record

fantastic
― ufo, Monday, 1 October 2018 23:47 (five years ago) link
This record is SO GOOD (based on the songs released early).
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 October 2018 00:23 (five years ago) link
damn, have to hear this - she has a bright future

album completely lives up to the singles, it's great! the bass playing is a highlight

gorgeous acoustic version of the title track
― ufo, Saturday, 6 October 2018 11:15 (five years ago) link
Love this so much!
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 6 October 2018 14:35 (five years ago) link
this album is really so good. a perfect album for summer evenings. i am really loving No Weekend - the sax! and when Your Art explodes
― ufo, Monday, 22 October 2018 10:02 (five years ago) link
love this album
― sean gramophone, Monday, 22 October 2018 13:00 (five years ago) link
beatufiul record, ufo otm about 'your art,' a standout among standouts.
― voodoo chili, Monday, 22 October 2018 14:17 (five years ago) link
I've listened to this album 3 times today. Totally took me by surprise. First track with it's Cocteau's style harmonies didn't prepare me for how much it rocks later on.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 23 October 2018 05:24 (five years ago) link
i still adore this and was intending to post about how perfect it is for the summer but i already did that a few months ago
― ufo, Friday, 11 January 2019 06:20 (five years ago) link
heard "cut me off" on the radio today -- so very excellent !! excited to check out the record
― budo jeru, Thursday, 21 February 2019 19:09 (five years ago) link
"cut me off" is the best song i've ever heard, this person is a genius
― budo jeru, Thursday, 28 February 2019 20:36 (five years ago) link
The rest of the album kind of drifted away from me in the end, but Cut Me Off is cemented as a lifelong fave for me.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 2 March 2019 04:09 (five years ago) link
same
― budo jeru, Saturday, 2 March 2019 05:08 (five years ago) link
i still adore the whole album. the new japanese house album feels like it occupies a somewhat similar space to this

New single is subdued but a delight.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 16:28 (three years ago) link
really love the new single, bass sounds fantastic
― sleight return (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 17:43 (three years ago) link
kurt wagner backing vocals too

another new one
had missed "sucker" when it came out but it's delightful, similar in mood to last year's fantastic lambchop album
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 22:58 (three years ago) link
I preordered the lp when Sucker came out, but it got pushed back to August along the way, so this renewed my anticipation.

another new single, album out friday. sounding nice, love that big distortion on the guitar that comes in intermittently.
― mozzy star (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 29 July 2020 00:54 (three years ago) link
fuck me this album is absurdly terrific.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 2 August 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link
it's great. doesn't feel very different from the last album but she's so good at what she does that i don't mind at all
― ufo, Monday, 3 August 2020 00:48 (three years ago) link
It's pretty similar, maybe a bit more muscular and guitar-centric
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 3 August 2020 01:36 (three years ago) link
The last one was drifty in a quiet way. This one seems more anchored? I dunno. That's the best I've got.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 3 August 2020 02:07 (three years ago) link
songs are better this time around
― mozzy star (voodoo chili), Monday, 3 August 2020 03:07 (three years ago) link
New EP just dropped. The title track "Summer Quarter" is great, but the others are also great. I continue to love her instincts and choices made as a guitarist.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 22 January 2021 05:12 (three years ago) link
Good stuff!
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Friday, 22 January 2021 05:31 (three years ago) link
Yay, new LP! I knew she'd been consciously de-emphasizing the guitar in her newer work, but there's still some here even with it being really synth heavy.

That one was nice, but I've listened to this one approximately 847 times since yesterday.

The new album is simply lovely.
Funny how even though I understand Madeline didn’t work with Wye Oak on this one, it still sounds very post Wye Oak (in much the same way that the Japanese House sounds post The 1975).
― Tim F, Tuesday, 1 August 2023 21:44 (eight months ago) link
i didn't even realize jenn wasner wasn't involved here, it doesn't sound markedly different from her wasner-produced work.
agreed that it's lovely. "it carries on" was the standout, at first blush.
