RÓISÍN MURPHY

Album announcement is imminent I believe. Rumoured title: Róisín Machine

OMG. What a title.

oh my fucking GOD

must've finally got tired of all the mispronunciations

She's been posting snippets of a single called "Something More" this week and it's already my favorite thing she's made since Overpowered.

Róisín Machine is indeed the title and it comes out on September 25th.

Not many new songs but it will nice to have all those singles together.

1. Simulation
2. Kingdom of Ends
3. Something More
4. Shellfish Mademoiselle
5. Incapable
6. We Got Together
7. Murphy's Law
8. Game Changer
9. Narcissus
10. Jealousy

I hope they've tightened up Simulation, it really drags on.

TIL how to pronounce "Róisín" so I guess it works!

I can’t believe I’m getting new Róisín and new Sufjan within my birthday week this year

here's a quarter
go put it in the roisin machine

omg yeah that's great.

I hope they've tightened up Simulation, it really drags on.

Narcissus was tightened from 12 minute to 8 minutes for the single release. I'd expect a new mix, if not a whole re-recording, for Simulation eight (!) years after the original

I've always known it's pronounced Ro-sheen but that doesn't stop my stupid brain from reading it as Roy-sin every single time xps

I think the point is it's actually rosh-in

just put on "Murphy's Law" on Sp*t*fy and the original 8-minute track has an "- Extended Mix" added to it when it wasn't there before (in addition to the ~4-minute edit), so my guess is the length of the album version (and the other album tracks) are gonna be somewhere in between those running times

8 years since Simulation!

and more timely than ever imo! it's been my song of the (quar) summer

also what a fucking way to open an album -- I'm guessing this "live @ home" performance should reflect the edit of the album version:

"something more" is so so good

also what a fucking way to open an album

yeah, I have it as the opener on this:

move Simulation from 'Róisíngles ‎2012-2014 (As)'

this is such a great, solid hour of disco-ish cruisers I can't

Full tracklist if anyone wants to have fun:

Simulation (Original Mix) [2012] 11:35
Golden Era (David Morales Disco Mix) [2012 - David Morales & Róisín Murphy] 6:51

this bit bangs!

I think maybe we should start calling Róisín's bangers "bing bong ding donger"s

the only song I know by her is the one that goes "bing bong ding dong" and it's in my head all the time

that remix is track 3 on "Róisíngles ‎2008-2011 [Bs]" btw :)

it's nice (especially to be occasionally reminded of House Of House, RIP) but the original version is such a great bing bonger

Any idea what happened to them?

One of them was also half of Still Going. It's possible HoH only ever intended to do the one single and just got a few remix gigs off the back of it.

what a single though!

for those who have never heard it, this is the House of House single we're talking about:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GLJ7-SO4Ag

if the other four tracks are as good as the six we've already heard this will surely be her best album?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ8dJ4b4zMA

interestingly this version of "jealousy" transitions from the disco mix to the house mix at the end, i wonder if that's what the album edit will be like? the album edit is around 4 minutes

the new single might be the best one yet

from the press bio:

"Although packed to the rafters with masterclass singles, including 'Simulation', 'Jealousy', 'Incapable', 'Narcissus' and 'Murphy’s Law', it is also an ingeniously and seamlessly edited listening experience, designed to be listened to in one uninterrupted sitting, from start to dazzling finish."

xp though at the same time i've returned to "murphy's law" over and over in lockdown to the point where it's pretty well solidified as one of my top songs of 2020

good spot!

I'm totally into the idea of the album being a tight comp of edits of bongers we already know, though it has the potential of being a waste without radio play to send ppl out to earning appearances by Mickey Murphy's Daughter :(

(xpost ooh)

I hope they've tightened up Simulation, it really drags on.

drunk midnight youtubing, it also turns out there was an eight-minute cutdown of the 12-minute original for the Simulation video btw

if the other four tracks are as good as the six we've already heard this will surely be her best album?

the first two solo albums are still very good! but no problem assuming this will be on par with those, and it's lovely that she's held onto the Parrot collaboration so long and finally made a single album out of their work.

the album version of simulation is 8 min but a little longer than the video edit

vinyl pre-ordered. saddened by absence of jacuzzi rollercoaster on the album.

This album is all Crooked Man joints! Jacuzzi Rollercoaster was one of eight tracks on her Maurice Fulton collab 12"s

it would have been nice if she'd put out an album compiling those 2018 singles but you can just do that yourself at least

"Something More" is new on UK Spotify today: 4:01 edit, 7:57 extended.

“The album is called Róisín Machine because I am a machine. I never stop.”

omg "something more." just imagining the silly shit i would pull to this on the dance floor.

i would pre-order but i'm not sure if i would ever get it :|. ordered a PAN vinyl in may and i think it's still in the uk.

This album is all Crooked Man joints!

Is it all Parrot? Don't get me wrong, I like each of these tracks, to a point, sometimes a high point, but most of them really do drag. Almost every one outstays it's welcome and even though this bpm is *very me* I want them to be zippier. There's a lethargy in them that I find a bit depressing. I'm sure that's a very unpopular opinion on here, though.

It's quite possible that R Machine feels the same way, actually, as she mentioned on something (was it the chat with Jessie Ware?) that the parrot collab was done now.

“Róisín Machine is the culmination of a rich, decades-long partnership between Murphy and one of her most trusted collaborators Crooked Man aka DJ Parrot.”

while I'm c+p'ing, Something More was written by Amy Douglas:

"I asked her to write me a song about never being full or satisfied, exponential need," Murphy says. "She sent a very basic but brilliant demo very soon after, just her singing and playing a piano. The challenge then is to get the music direction right, the arrangement and the voicing."

Murphy described "Something More" as "a swansong to how we once lived, there's plenty of bravado in the lyrics and the character is a kind of antihero but the indefinable yearning and the feeling of arriving at a point of emptiness is universal right now!"

I'm assuming the Amy Douglas who is half of Peach Melba with Juan Maclean
