didn't even realise they released a new album last year. is it any good? found infinity pool to be a bit hit and miss, but nowhere near as strong as konkylie

I played it once, it seems like a grower but not as immediately arresting as Konkylie or Infinity Pool before the shine wears off

Saw some tweet or something from them the other day about new work, I think.

The last one sounded amazing from a production and textural standpoint but it seems to actively repel hooks. I really liked it and went back to it a lot but there was nothing on it that stuck

It's funny reading that last post right as "Reflection of You (Bloodshot)" started up, which is eminently hooky to my ears

compared to Konkylie and Infinity Pool I think the last one makes a lot of unobvious choices, I do really like it but it's a different kind of listen

New album tomorrow!

I haven't seen a cd version announced - is it digital-only?

Oh, didn't know about this. Looming at their discography I don't think I've even listened to So Deep.

although i like the idea of looming over a discography
Still Running's got a real modern r'n'b vibe

Weeknd Go Machine more like. What happened with this bunch?

New album due in September!
― boxedjoy, Monday, 21 August 2023 23:01 (eight months ago) link
and it's their best album in a while, definitely

they've gone back to writing songs with proper choruses and synth parts that feel like choruses instead of meandering textures, which was nice but not anywhere near as satisying as this is

A good sign!

I wasn't really sold on their pivot towards pop-r'n'b really - felt like the sort of thing other people do a lot better. I'll check the new stuff though
