Love Hayley Williams, but didn't love this album. It's not bad or anything, just didn't make much of an impression on me enough to go back to it after the first few listens. Her debut grew on me a lot.

ok first track on Heisei (the streaming version) is amazing, I have to check out the Music from Memory thread

I have mixed feelings about comps but am generally for their inclusion. I try not to vote for them myself unless it's something absolutely amazing and completely new to me, and even then only if I'm running short on proper new releases. A couple of comps appearing in the rundown is fine, they can be great introductions to stuff, but I would be worried if we started placing more than one or two.

I think I was conflating Spelling with Shopping... was not expecting the heavy Kate Bush vibes from this.

Got to say I adore the albums image style even more than I did the one for the tracks. Adding a little class to the proceedings, thank you Moka.

Oooh it’s SPELLLING no wonder I couldn’t find any thread discussing her.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 7 February 2022 16:18 (two years ago) link
Here’s the thread:
Spellling - haunted art pop soul
I vaguely remember giving the Spellling album a once-over a few months ago, but there were too many Sgt. Peppers-ish moments that rubbed me the wrong way, even if the rest of what she's doing is pretty great/original. I feel like this lives in the same universe all the waxed mustache stuff from the early part of the last decade, except it doesn't talk to the neighbors.

JF and DAM otm re: Spellling. Loved Mazy Fly, but aside a couple of highlights (Revolution, The Future), I found the overall sheen and theatricality of this album a little distracting.
This comp looks exciting!
― tangenttangent, Monday, 7 February 2022 16:46 (two years ago) link
manchester orchestra are something that i feel like i could like
ftr this has not been your opinion ever.

I should be following the rollout but instead I'm just grooving to Heisei No Oto, great find

I found the overall sheen and theatricality of this album a little distracting.
that's funny, i felt the theatricality in 'mazy fly' too, and that's one of the things that drew me to spellling and a big reason why i love both albums. "real fun" (from mazy) is basically a song where a disney villain reveals how truly evil she is, and i love it lol
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Monday, 7 February 2022 16:51 (two years ago) link
I’d need to listen to them both back to back to remember what I really think the difference is, but my sense is that Mazy Fly was a little more dreamily psychedelic and that’s what drew me to it in the first place.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 7 February 2022 16:54 (two years ago) link
meanwhile this emeka ogboh is something i've never even heard of

I'm looking over my ballot, and I'm expecting three of my votes to place. Would be nice to get more, but think I'm mostly on my own with the others.

Foiled again. It’s those tragic 70s chords. This sounds like other things I like. It’s very spacey.

yeah I was surprised in that exact way too

My first vote to place! I'm not super enthusiastic about it or anything, but it's a nice record. By this time next year it will be an opaque memory.
