theo parrish s/d

it's more raw than the last one but spins so much out of it incl. a lot of joy.

the sound is more raw but i mean the keyboarding is next-level jazz playing and the palette within the rawness bursts open into this surprising and colorful landscape.

it's also very sick as far as being a rhythmic / dance record and i would like to hear it on a "system" very much.

HennyWeed BuckDance is a right tune!

it's good times

Great stuff. “Knew Better Do Better” and “Angry Purple Birds” are highlights for me.

"angry purple birds" is great, i love when it gets to the piano at the end, reminds me of "parallel dimensions" in a way

this album is amazing, so warm and intricate. the vinyl is way way cheaper thru sound signature direct than anywhere else i've seen

yeah! ss web store is great and really well-designed.

for all the love you give sacrificially, this is for you

^^^^

Also “Knew Better Do Better” is just wiled.

i love how knotty and jazzy this record is, especially when i think about it in comparison with the amazing use of space on american intelligence, which i also love

also "this is for you" just sends me straight up to heaven

Top album of the year right here. He doesn’t sound like anyone else.

Any idea why Kung Fu Shoes is not on spotify?

spacing on which song atm but i love how one of the records starts off sounding like off the cuff improvised noodling that slowly coheres into something really elaborate and purposeful, it's like watching a creation evolve from a sketch to a song in real time

^^

very nicely put, d-40

the sound of this album is low-key incredible, the keys are pillow-soft, the drum machines have such a nice crunch. everything's up-front but and kind of raw but there are layers and blending and full spectrum / space. idk but it sounds like tape was involved? also idk but there's probably sampler-playing to get the subtle phasing effects that show up now and then? pretty sure this is my #2 album of the year after beatrice dillon.

this is becoming one of my favorite albums of the year, it’s so invigorating

Moka, that track is a vinyl-only exclusive.

This record rules.

Chris Richards , Washington Post music critic loves new Theo Parrish album Wuddaji

that's a nice review.

"this is for you" is so, so good.

i know there's a whole other thread for these kinds of songs but Angry Purple Birds reminds me a bit of the Earthbound soundtrack

thought for sure this revive would be about the absolutely massive new 3 chairs release : Parrish, moodyman, and marcellus Pittman laying down endless loose and hypnotic grooves

new? do you mean the digital file comp?

don’t forget rick wilhite

yeah "new" i guess. and yes you're right, my bad.

anyways it slaps

some of the greatest stuff ever. “good kiss”, “blue out”...

RAIN FOR MFING JIMI

yeah, it's really good, I shelled out for it without a moment of hesitation

incredible collection; they make it sound so easy

New EP, Smile, is lovely; having a hard time not listening to Lost Angel over and over right now.

it’s old material (as I think was noted elsewhere):

Anyone hear him on NTS today? I only caught the last hour. I'd love to have a track list of the whole set but I doubt that's forthcoming.

I'm sure he played some of his Ugly Edits, I also heard some Quasimoto and Erykah Badu. That's all I've got.

i caught the first few hours and then the end, amazing the variety of stuff he can play but it always still sounds like him. i was following the chat a bit in the first part and there were lots of tracks that weren't identified, some edits and blends and whatever, maybe the mixes.db guys will work their magic when the recording gets released

I'm still listening to Wuddaji on a regular basis. The king

I need to pick that one up! I’ve been mostly into the Ugly edits lately myself.

Dogs who are the ‘db guys’? Database?

mixes.db is a site with a big database of mixes and people identify/verify tracks on there

yes gaga

new single with maurissa rose sounding a++++

Been listening to Theo lots the past weeks while working. Especially loving his 12” with Tony Allen, “Sketches” and the last two solo albums. But all of it is timeless and good.

crazy how much the ugly edits sell for now

Look at the edit phenomenon! Now, granted, I’ve had my hand in it, and I regret that I had my hand in it—

Do you really?

Oh, absolutely. It was a mistake. It was a big mistake. I didn’t think ahead. I didn’t think that 1) you’re not crediting the artist; 2) that’s not your writing; and 3) even though I had the best intentions, that it’s offensive to the people who did the originals.

(i just bought two more 7”s of edits today)

yeah i mean i caned the edits for a while there but theo parrish since american intelligence has just been on another level entirely

i can't imagine a more boring thing to share about theo parrish in 2022 than 'wow the ugly edits are expensive now,' they were expensive then too, they must have gone up some dollars, fascinating

probably at least partly due to understanding he doesn’t want to repress them
