happy early birthday! I just discovered I'm getting a Trump-Biden debate on my birthday, fml

Well, this album certainly delivers.
My favourite thing about it after one listen is how it ends with song that would fit on Minnie Riperton's Come To My Garden.

one last great single before it's out
― ufo, Thursday, 25 June 2020 01:49 (three years ago) link
this really is going to be the best album <3 <3
― Roz, Thursday, 25 June 2020 02:06 (three years ago) link
is this the morgan geist one? kinda sounds like it. chintzy boogie vibe
― anza808, Thursday, 25 June 2020 04:06 (three years ago) link
yeah he co-wrote & produced it
― ufo, Thursday, 25 June 2020 04:44 (three years ago) link
album rules, unsurprisingly
― ufo, Thursday, 25 June 2020 12:17 (three years ago) link
wow "soul control" is funky
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 June 2020 13:26 (three years ago) link
all of this was fabulous but jaw hit the floor the most probably on the last song
― monotony, Friday, 26 June 2020 02:29 (three years ago) link
weird how "adore you" felt so monumental when it came out last year and yet amongst all this it feels slight and subtle. still such an incredible song!
also shout out to the title track
glad I mostly steered clear of the singles, this is massive

I like that this week has brought us multiple albums seemingly designed in a lab to please each and every single ILMer between them
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 02:52 (three years ago) link
xpost the last track my god
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 26 June 2020 02:55 (three years ago) link
I haven't responded this well to a record in this vein since...the second Natalie Prass album, I wanna say?
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 02:56 (three years ago) link
this is a very different beast (much more upbeat for starters) but the combo of new and 'retro" sounds/signifiers brought it to mind
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:02 (three years ago) link
The album mix of "Spotlight" mutes that weird synth (?) noise I loved in the single edit
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:12 (three years ago) link
Sorry I should probably know what that sound is as an ilxor whatever who cares
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:13 (three years ago) link
yeah, my only qualms with this are that she dialed down spotlight slightly on the album version and also that overtime should've been included
― monotony, Friday, 26 June 2020 03:17 (three years ago) link
Omg the synth bips were what MADE spotlight
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:41 (three years ago) link
As much as I love "Overtime", its exclusion makes sense considering the sound of the rest of the album
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:53 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I also thought those little synth hiccups had been quietened on the album version for some reason. I thought it might have just been the vinyl.
This should be a massive record for her. Why haven't all these singles been huge?
― kitchen person, Friday, 26 June 2020 04:32 (three years ago) link
Too retro and/or lack of label push imo
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 04:47 (three years ago) link
This is ILM bait not chart bait
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 04:49 (three years ago) link
I guess with something like Dua Lipa's Don't Start Now becoming such a huge worldwide hit, it wouldn't have been that weird if some of these single could have at least cracked the top 100 somewhere.
― kitchen person, Friday, 26 June 2020 04:56 (three years ago) link
The extended intro of the album mix of “Save A Kiss” doesn’t really introduce elements that we didn’t hear in the single version but it still makes the song so much better. The value of an intro, y’all

Oh shit I just got to Remember Where You Are
floored
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 26 June 2020 05:34 (three years ago) link
“Step Into My Life” is the best Roisin Murphy song
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 05:59 (three years ago) link
Well well, if it isn't the best album ever made.
And yes, the (sorta) "Les Fleur" tribute on the final track is superb.
― Tim F, Friday, 26 June 2020 07:55 (three years ago) link
this is everything

"That's the Way of Les Fleurs"
― Andy K, Friday, 26 June 2020 11:19 (three years ago) link
"The Kill" is quite something.
― Nourry, Friday, 26 June 2020 12:04 (three years ago) link
THE HEART OF THE CITY IS ON FIIIIIIIRRRREEE
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 26 June 2020 12:06 (three years ago) link
Very strong Rotary Connection vibes to the last track.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 June 2020 12:12 (three years ago) link
This is magnificent
― dip to dup (rob), Friday, 26 June 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link
I… don't hate this.
― pomenitul, Friday, 26 June 2020 14:23 (three years ago) link
the closer is EXTREMELY familiar / reminds me of something specific but I can't quite reach what it is yet
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 14:39 (three years ago) link
Between this and the also brilliant HAIM album this is such a great weekend for music.

not to mention we had Bobby D and Phoebe Bridgers just last week (the latter of which I haven't even gotten to yet).
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:07 (three years ago) link
and Hum!!!!
― ufo, Friday, 26 June 2020 15:09 (three years ago) link
this is probably the best album of the year that I will virtually never listen to as an album
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:19 (three years ago) link
that's not a dis really
Johnny Jewel is going to cry with joy or jealousy if/when he hears "The Kill"
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:27 (three years ago) link
fuck
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:32 (three years ago) link
Everyone’s said nearly everything I wanted to already, but my god, “The Kill”: starts off like a freakin’ Pye Corner Audio track but then the switch to a major key and THEN the gospel ending holy shit
and THEN the Rotary Connection tribute to close the record!
― Jeff W, Friday, 26 June 2020 17:17 (three years ago) link
this is a killer fuckin disco boogie
