I haven't heard the debut but otherwise I really like all her albums

I just listened to Lost Girls again the other day. Shame that one was so underrated.

Diminishing returns after Two Suns imo, but the only one I haven't listened to since it came out is The Bride. The Haunted Man and Lost Girls are fine. I should check out that Sexwitch album again, because I remember nothing about it.
Anyway, check out the debut. It's nice.

Ooh, Sexwitch is great. Wonder why I memory-holed it.

Returns have only diminished from masterpiece to excellent to very good, and I'm okay with that. Still very fond of The Bride... "Joe's Dream"!

"Laura" might be my favorite song of hers.

did anyone ever figure out who the subject of that song (not, according to NK, named "laura") is

realizing now that i've only heard "what's a girl to do" from the debut (and that's from the video, which is an all-timer). is the rest of the debut similar to that one?

Uh... sort of? I'd say the vibe of the first two albums is very similar with the "big" singles ("What's A Girl To Do", "Daniel") kind of going off on their own thing

gotcha. i'll check it out.
speaking of the "what's a girl to do" video, seems like it's only on youtube in low quality, which is a bummer.

her voice is very soothing to me

I think all of her albums are fantastic to amazing. She's one of my favorite people currently making music. So glad I got to see her live just before the pandemic hit last year.

becoming a bit of a stoner has really emphasized this aspect for me

I really liked her debut and then got pretty much obsessed with Two Suns in 2009. Like, listening every day on my walk to class obsessed. I saw her live just before The Haunted Man came out (my first time hearing "Laura" and a bunch of new songs) and she is a great performer indeed, but I somehow lost interest afterward that one. I don't remember much about The Bride, it vaguely registered in my head as 'more of the same'? I don't think I've ever even listened to Lost Girls. Guess I should go back and check those two records out, I think I've had a long enough break and her vibe/aesthetic will feel exciting to my ears again, even if the newest stuff isn't radically different to the oldies.

Lost Girls likely to be more your thing than the Bride, which is more impressionistic (ie: yes it's less memorable, I like it a lot though)
― akm, Wednesday, 5 May 2021 20:06 (two years ago) link
Cool! I just scanned The Bride's tracklisting and the only two tracks I can vaguely recall are Close Encounters (which I must've put on some playlist back then) and Sunday Love (which was on the radio). I'll give Lost Girls a listen tomorrow and perhaps come back to The Bride later.

I haven't revisited Two Suns since it came out, but I really enjoyed it at the time. Her subsequent albums struck me as vaguely pleasant and little more. I should probably give them all another spin.

Lost Girls is heavily underrated at large
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 5 May 2021 22:44 (two years ago) link
hmm turns out fur and gold is excellent, feel dumb for overlooking it for years
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 23:31 (two years ago) link
it's all underrated and it's so weird we don't have a thread for her.

. Had I been working in the 1960s or 70s I would have ridden a wave of avant garde work into the mainstream
