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

I have new music. It’s coming out. I’m not at liberty to say when (YET). Lol. OKAY?****— Sky Ferreira (@skyferreira) November 12, 2019
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 22:59 (four years ago) link
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

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 actually funny that she has still maintained people's interest despite these enormous hiatuses
― dyl, Saturday, 2 April 2022 01:14 (two years ago) link
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...
― J. Sam, Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:14 (two years ago) link
Also I wonder whether "Downhill Lullaby" will make the album or if it will remain a one-off
― J. Sam, Saturday, 2 April 2022 02:17 (two years ago) link
here's hoping the new single is more memorable than "Downhill Lullaby"

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.

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

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.
― lilsoulbrother, Wednesday, 25 May 2022 23:50 (one year ago) link
I appreciate her commitment to this particular overheated and utterly bit crushed aesthetic
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Wednesday, 25 May 2022 23:53 (one year ago) link
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.
― PBKR, Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:37 (one year ago) link
The song is just ok, but it's great to hear her voice again. Also digging the quasi-MBV whammy guitar on the chorus
― J. Sam, Thursday, 26 May 2022 01:44 (one year ago) link
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.

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.
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 26 May 2022 07:36 (one year ago) link
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.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 26 May 2022 10:09 (one year ago) link
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.
― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 May 2022 11:56 (one year ago) link
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
― dyl, Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:06 (one year ago) link
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
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 26 May 2022 15:11 (one year ago) link
"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
― Murgatroid, Thursday, 26 May 2022 16:45 (one year ago) link
downhill lullaby is amazing (havent listened to this yet just needed to intervene)

it's a good song, reminds me of michael damian's version of "rock on" at times lol

I never became a music writer for a reason, but even I would never use the phrases "pretty bland" or "rock-tinged." I guess everyone's got to start somewhere, and that's what blogspot used to be for. Is there nowhere else to practice writing now before Pitchfork hires you?
Anyway, agree with the overall assertion that it's not a great single, but whew that review.
