i want to put "i know alone" on a mix with one of the garage tracks from notes on a conditional form

i didn't listen to "don't wanna" very much before the album came out and right now i have to play that one a few times in a row before progressing, the hook is like the ultimate haim hook

The first time you hear the 'you go left and I'll go right' bit on The Steps is fun on headphones.
Lots of little gremlin voices throughout.

Early 00s German techno fans will note the big Monstertruckdriver energy on Up From The Dream.

Synths in 3AM sound like BOC’s Roygbiv to me.
I love this album so much. It has such a distinctive personality and cool, laidback cool. It’s also surprisingly cohesive as a whole considering how much variety in sounds and ideas they attempt in here compared to previous albums where they didn’t stray too much from a certain style.

3 times hearing 3AM it’s an early obsession. They nail that 90’s R&B sound.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 26 June 2020 14:46 (three years ago) link
Yeah there's a real 1993 feel to this, even the rock songs sound like the kind of give-the-boomers-what-they-want records that came out around then. And it's the first time I've actually believed that there was a real R&B influence at work.

"Yeah there's a real 1993 feel to this, even the rock songs sound like the kind of give-the-boomers-what-they-want records that came out around then"
interesting, could you expand on this? do you mean like Counting Crows, or records from 1993 made by actual boomers?

3am, Another Try, I Know Alone are the three I’m more obsessed about but there isn’t a single song in here that I feel like skipping.

As the interest in Tango in the Night synth arabesques fades, now we enter the period when Sheryl Crow's an influence on contemporary bands.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 26 June 2020 14:59 (three years ago) link
I don’t hate Sheryl Crow as a “cool” influence for the next decade. she was unjustly maligned and I blame the rockist attitude of the 90’s where you either made pop or rock but walking the line in between got you sniped down. She has some legit great songs.

Something to Tell You felt a bit like it was done on auto-pilot. I like that they've taken more care with creating interesting textures and sounds on this new one, which was a big part of what made Days Are Gone so good.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:31 (three years ago) link
I'm a little shocked at how well tacking the singles on at the end works. "Summer Girl" is a great closer.
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:53 (three years ago) link
In yet another early 90’s influence, the faux-reggae pop in Another Try reminds me of Ace of Base.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 26 June 2020 15:56 (three years ago) link
Sheryl Crow was what I was thinking of yeah.

We're probably no more than 18 months out from everyone trying to sound like Jagged Little Pill so strap in.

I only hear the sheryl crow / mid 90s MOR influence on a few songs tbh

I can’t find credits for the album. I want to know if Thundercat is somehow involved in 3AM?
There’s a song title connection with him, sounds a bit like his style and the Haim sisters make a cameo on Dragonball Durag’s video.

fluttering G-funk (3am), homages to Walk on the Wild Side (Summer Girl) and Joni Mitchell at her most seething (Man from the Magazine, an acoustic riposte to a leering journalist), and Led Zep bounce (Up From a Dream).

yeah this is just as eclectic as the 1975 album, just less showy about it imo

it is flat-out ridiculous how good this record is. from “don’t wanna” thru “fubt” especially is just a blissed-out listening experience

said the same thing yesterday
Been listening to this all day and it's great.
So is "Man From the Magazine" more a Joni tribute than a Joni parody? It works as either.
