lovely video for 'tick tock'

gotta say i was initially disappointed by the album, but it still has that thing of being odd and off-putting in some ways yet having bits that pull me back and make me wanna figure out why i'm intrigued. i really enjoy that i find it hard to pinpoint what exactly she's doing so much of the time

yet it never really feels forced or ~random~, there's a subtly and ease to her sound despite the weirdness

two weeks pass...

Her new album just came up as a recommendation on Apple Music. I thought, "Hmm, wonder if there is a thread about her on ILX." I'm digging it so far.

three weeks pass...

Did anyone read any interesting reviews of this? It's not the most immediate album but, yeah, like karl...arlk...rlka...lkar says there's something intriguing.

i haven't read any interesting reviews, but i did see her in Atlanta last week and she was great. her band is super tight, her stage presence is as odd and entrancing as her music, and the songs from the new album, which comprised most of the set, sounded fantastic live. 'passion babe' in particular clicked live in a way it hadn't for me in home listening
