she ranked it first of all her albums on twitter a while back - it isn't my favourite but then i definitely skew towards her ultramelodic stuff
opening track of Victory Lap ('Hello, I Ruined Music') is possibly the best mash-up i've ever heard, and i've heard everything Cicierega has ever done in that field: https://patriciataxxon.bandcamp.com/album/victory-lap
& seeing as Pix & Bit is still the best album, here's its Neocities page: https://pixandbit.neocities.org/

'best mbv cover' might have a new winner folx

Hm, what is it that clicks with you about this cover? I'm not really sold on the rapping - is this sampled? Do like "Spiral Staircase" quite a bit.

just love the actually-very-convincing schnaussian electrogaze meets high energy shout-rap thing, it's bracing and odd and it works imo

her 'mainstream pop album' and accompanying longform youtube video about pop music are coming tomorrow. it might well be that my favourite pop record of 2020 isn't out yet

she's done an ambient instrumental album and it's kind of incredible (if not THAT ambient at points, more a sort of chilled classical thing)

Fabulous stuff, this.

crocus 3-6 is a genuinely stellar run of music
― imago, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 15:37 (three years ago) link
It is! The whole thing is straight-up gorgeous though. I like how she varies and steers it towards neo-classical, though only in a nuanced way. It's playful but within a pretty clearly defined space.

Her new one is particularly good imo. By her own admission, went binging on Autechre then wrote an EDM pop album

This is fantastic. Some sounds maybe too directly autechre-influenced (not that that's a crime or anything) but not all, way more kinetic than lots of recent ae and huge fat tunes on top.

sean booth's repping pays off :D
it's amazing yes, welcome aboard
― imago, Friday, 17 June 2022 14:30 (one year ago) link
whole album's great but 'her bed' is pretty safely the most successful autechre-but-not-autechre i've ever heard
― imago, Friday, 17 June 2022 14:31 (one year ago) link
Ahhhhh, this is wonderful. She releases a bit too much for me to keep up but so glad I caught this one.

love this
the only record i find myself returning to is 'endless' but this is right up there

"Careful, beaver" from the new one is very dope and unlike anything I've heard from her
― death generator (lukas), Sunday, 9 October 2022 00:54 (one year ago) link
"Visiting Nascissa" is great but I wish it had more going on in the low end. I'm sure it was a considered decision, that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

she was already furry autechre but here's the hypermelodic IDM megapiece we've all been craving. it does NOT disappoint

absolutely cannot stand the aesthetic but I guess I can listen with my eyes closed.

Hah, nice! I'm excited to dig into these.
I really enjoy Patricia Taxxon's music. A few months ago I used some of the more ambient cuts from Traveler, Hotel, Aeroplane, Doraemon, and The Good Night in a documentary series I was working on. She was super cool about it! Her music really enhanced the vibe.
