I wish the whole album was co-written by Bullion. Far-away and Bends are great. I want more of that.
Bends to Western Wind is indeed a perfect combo.

i don't think "bends" is ripping "voyager" at least

lol at some point it came out that haim co-wrote "making the most of the night" under a pseudonym and i never knew until now?

I finally listened to the song "The Loneliest Time." It sounds like it's going for an Olivia Newton John vibe.

Not hearing Momus per se but it does sounds like german electropop from early 00’s - backing track at least - something like Barbara Morgenstern, Lali Puna, isan… stuff like that.

"the loneliest time" is excellent. that and "western wind" outclass everything else on here.
the rest is fine, but those are just excellent!

Huh I never knew that either. When I heard Sia's version of it, it made perfect sense that she co-wrote - it's a very Sia melody. I'm not sure what part Haim wrote, but the chorus has the quick pace of some of their songs

Add my name to the list of ilxors who love "Western Wind". Suggests an alternate universe where she collaborated on an album with Benoit and Sergio.
Don't get the hate for "Beach House"! If No Doubt got back together and released it I'd love it. And I love it this way too

'western wind' definitely one of my songs of the year.

Might be just the pop duet thing but Loneliest Time is giving me vibes of Annie/Jake Shears on Neon Lights
― kinder, Saturday, 29 October 2022 18:22 (one year ago) link
Okay, late to hearing this, but it really is terrific, especially the back half. Damn. Cut "Beach House" and it comes within swinging distance of flawless, imho. Absolutely love "Western Wind", "Go Find" and "The Loneliest Time" in particular.

"Beach House" was a real crowd-pleaser live by the way, a fun moment in the show
― erasingclouds, Thursday, 17 November 2022 16:00 (one year ago) link
Being a good live-show tune is definitely what I feel the intention behind Beach House is.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 17 November 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link
I genuinely don't hate it, I would like it more as a standalone single that works great live and shows up on her inevitably killer singles comp. It just takes me out of the album's otherwise great vibe.

The sequencing on this album is a thing of beauty. I mentioned Bends into Western Wind, but also love Go Find Yourself or Whatever into The Loneliest Time. Bc The Loneliest Time, on its own, is poised on this knife-edge between genuine hope and false hope: it could be a love story, or it could just be the kind of self-deluding fantasy you spin when you're lonely and starting to think it's a good idea to call up your ex. But Go Find Yourself or Whatever is so clearly about being able to hold reality and false hope in your mind at the same time: "Tell me that we'll meet up someday/I'll tell you that I'm no good at tellin' lies," but also, simultaneously, "and I'll wait for you." So that when The Loneliest Time starts after that final "I'll wait for you," the balance tips just slightly in the direction of fantasy: this vision of reuniting, loneliness ended, everything back the way it was and the sun on the water in the morning, it's beautiful but it isn't real.

that's so sweetcame by just to say it's clear to me now this is her best work yet. It mightn't even be close.

"bends" is really so good i hope she does a full album with bullion next
― ufo, Wednesday, 8 March 2023 12:46 (one year ago) link
Ohh that's Bullion producing? Maybe I knew and forgot. The song is great, yes. Doesn't seem her style to do a whole album with one producer, but I do hope they work together again
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 8 March 2023 21:31 (one year ago) link
"keep away" really should have been on the album instead of beach house

I’m not sure I would say better, but it is definitely more immediate. Hope it does well.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 26 June 2023 20:37 (nine months ago) link
it's decent but quite a different vibe for her. definitely not better than anything on the last album but there's tracks i would take it over, sure. presumably some sort of loneliest time side b is on its way?
― ufo, Monday, 26 June 2023 23:37 (nine months ago) link
I like it a lot and - presumably because it's produced by James Ford - I can totally imagine Jessie Ware singing it.
My understanding is that there won't be a full-length side B this time but just an EP of about 5 tracks in length.
And yes she's established herself as a pretty reliably excellent live experience. I saw her again a few months ago and it was just relentless joy and ebullience from beginning to end.

I agree with you. I didn't really talk much about Loneliest Time after it came out, but I listened to it about 3 times and then shelved it. This is something I could spin over and over again.

the first track on this is kinda reminiscent of "1 thing" but chiller? jazzier? she's never made anything that sounded at all like this before

this is very much an outtakes collection in that there is some wild stylistic variation and quality is a bit inconsistent but the highs are excellent and it's nice to hear her go relatively out there
