Katie Dey - Flood Network

agreed that it's a grower, it isn't perfect like flood network ("reflection"/"escaping" feel a little slight & halt the flow) but the added expansiveness otherwise fits perfectly, it's great that she's moved in this direction

prob my favorite artist of the second half of the decade

sent the album i've been working on to my label 3 weeks ago and haven't heard from them since i think that means they love it

she said 'data' from last year is planned to be part of her next album!

darkness
dancing
happiness
leaving
hurting
word
hopeless
loving
closeness
bearing
hoping
data

This is her best imo. Painfully beautiful songwriting start to finish.

'happiness' is a clear SOTY contender, it is up there with 'debt -> (f8)', which if you know me is a pretty big up

well this is delightful!

I sometimes find stuff in this "scene" tends to coast on cool sonics, which this has plenty of, but the songs are really striking as well, and they leverage each other beautifully

gonna just post it here as well

i mean how good

So uh, she deleted the tweets about it but Katie’s been getting bombarded by Taylor Swift stans all day

Anyways the new album’s really good! The back half is especially strong — and the new version of data is stunning

why did she get bombarded? for...releasing an album on the same day?

she made a joke saying her "ass was fatter than taylor's" and swift stans are mad at her for "body shaming"

can we uncancel the r-word pls

This album blows taytay's latest effort out of the water. It's a sublime and truthful and daring vision laid down from beginning to end in such a gorgeous way. Dancing-Happiness-LeavIng is a hattrick.

yeah those 3 songs in a row

I have not listened to Katie Dey very much, but I kind of stumbled on the new remix/covers album (urdata) and I like it a lot — more than mydata, I think, although I only went to that after hearing urdata first.

my favourite is still flood network

never falter hero girl out on friday, love both of the songs released so far. thought I'd somehow started playing the the's "sweet bird of truth" when "hoarder" came on.

I heard Flood Network for the first time a few days ago and it is my new favourite album.

!!

Welcome :)

What the fuck this album is incredible

The new one, I'm a longstanding Flood Network proponent obv

Everyone buy it and support Katie!!
