SKY FERREIRA

After several minutes of trying to figure out what this song reminded me of I realized it was this Kesha demo from when she was going to cut an album with The Flaming Lips:

(...which I certainly don’t mind.)

This Is Hardcore is an absolute belter, I think Pulp released Help The Aged as the first single off that record rather than the title track.

hasn't sunk in yet that this album a) is coming out
I wouldn't hold my breath on that tbh

you were right simon :(

I mean even in the pitchfork piece she said there were still more songs to work on

probably could have gone in the charli thread but new sky ferreira songs are significantly rarer

Also, the ILM pop singularity may be upon us

it certainly was in 2012

It's baaaaack

maybe grimes can pull some strings and recreate that shoot in space

I have new music. It’s coming out. I’m not at liberty to say when (YET). Lol. OKAY?****

not a new sky ferreira single, but a new single with sky ferreira on it, full synthwave is absolutely a great idea if she wants to go that route

I mean, take this with a mountain of salt, but https://www.nylon.com/life/sky-ferreira-new-album-masochism-2022

she just posted a teaser for a new single "Don't Forget" on IG

!!!!!!

It didn't drop at midnight EDT afaict but maybe soon. Also, if this is an April Fools Day prank I will punch a wall.

It’s been almost ten years now.. just ridiculous at this point

if the wait for the first album seemed interminable...

it's actually funny that she has still maintained people's interest despite these enormous hiatuses

The first album is def top 10 of the last decade for me. I want to believe Masochism is coming, but she's let us down so many times...

Also I wonder whether "Downhill Lullaby" will make the album or if it will remain a one-off

here's hoping the new single is more memorable than "Downhill Lullaby"

single coming on the 25th, supposedly

single has also apparently leaked but i haven't bothered to track it down yet

Finding leaks feels like so much work now lol I'm fine with waiting 6 days.

I lied.

But tbh I should have waited. It's...fine, no more.

unfortunately i probably will forget this

sounds like dirty 80s ass, 2 days no shower

sounds good to me

I'm just happy she is out there (hopefully she sticks around). I really need to stop liking part time models who are singers. They love throwing crumbs and then going back to hiding. Looking at you Grace Jones and Cassie.

I appreciate her commitment to this particular overheated and utterly bit crushed aesthetic

there's no tune though

This song should soundtrack the scene in an 80s movie where the rich old guy paid for his girlfriend's demo tape and then there's a shot where he's listening to the playback and realizes he just threw his money away.

The song is just ok, but it's great to hear her voice again. Also digging the quasi-MBV whammy guitar on the chorus

I guess it makes sense that this already sounds so dated considering we've been waiting for Masochism since 2015. I suspect this song's been sitting around either finished or unfinished for as long as 8 years.

here's hoping the new single is more memorable than "Downhill Lullaby"

lol welp

i like them both

I really like this, not sure it was worth waiting a decade for but I love the bending guitars in the chorus and her voice sounds great.

It’s too bad this stuff couldn’t have just come out as an album as opposed to drop by drop. (There are probably extenuating circumstances for why, of course.) As a mass of tunes, there would be a different feel to things.

As it happens, listening to NTRT last weekend, first time in years, I thought, this is surely one of the decade's most powerful albums, no? One of the more searing album-long inquiries into industry exploitation.

she's still calling it masochism? i would have guessed it wouldn't be that similar to what she had planned for it way back when -- but then again based on this song, maybe it is lol

i like the song tho! it's no revelation but it's solid. btw "downhill lullaby" was great in its way and would probably be viewed more favorably if it had actually been followed with the album instead of being some random one-off thing

new song is like a shattered '80s synth pop song with the shards reassembled out of order, love listening to it

"downhill lullaby" still like a cigarette drag in slow motion 10/10

"out of order" is actually the first thing i thought of when i listened to the song! it sounds like a good song with all the elements out of order

downhill lullaby is amazing (havent listened to this yet just needed to intervene)

ok I listened to the new one, also great

downhill lullaby makes me think of bobbie gentry, 100/10

ooh "Don't Forget" works
