Madeline Kenney

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.

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

heard "cut me off" on the radio today -- so very excellent !! excited to check out the record

"cut me off" is the best song i've ever heard, this person is a genius

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.

same

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.

really love the new single, bass sounds fantastic

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

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.

fuck me this album is absurdly terrific.

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

It's pretty similar, maybe a bit more muscular and guitar-centric

The last one was drifty in a quiet way. This one seems more anchored? I dunno. That's the best I've got.

songs are better this time around

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.

Good stuff!

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).

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.
