except... I'm so confused. They only played one night in Berlin, the 16th? is this audio heavily recut or something? AND it mentions the wrong day?

I watched the livestream yesterday. Fabulous stuff. Apparently it's going to be up for a few days so check it out if you're a fan. Apparently she's bringing the curtain down on the Roisin Machine period, so on to the next thing.

re: flash of light : or maybe it was recorded on the 15th after all, but it was in Utrecht, NL (Tivoli/Vredenburg). anyway. I give up.

So - updates!
The Koze album is probably coming late in the Northern Hemisphere summer. Its rumoured title is Hit Parade and it will be released by Ninja Tune.
A single, "Can't Replicate", is available on limited edition vinyl. No word on when - or if - it will be available to stream or download, although it's being used in DJ sets already, like this one for example. (Seems to have a Lil Louis sample running through it). If you follow Róisín on instagram, you might've heard an early version of the track here - while I like the edit's techno throb, I do hope this iteration will become available somewhere down the line, and I kind of wonder if it is the album version as it sounds a lot more...Koze-y.
Then there's another, sunny track that Róisín has been teasing on TikTok - rumoured title "CooCool". See here for a bit of that.

interesting that it's credited to both
"can't replicate" is great, but i agree that the 2020 snippet also sounds very promising and i hope it emerges eventually

That sounds very promising

Chorus is a bit silly for me but Koze and Murphy make a great team. It sounds great. Excited for a full album of them together.

It's out, and it's love at first listen for me. Its such a perfect almagamation of her more experimental side with her pop side, while venturing and implementing into a more R&B side, particularly with the vocals and the samples used on this

hit parade out september 8
really good stuff!
― ufo, Wednesday, 17 May 2023 13:04 (ten months ago) link
feels like a pretty similar wavelength to the last avalanches album just much better?
― ufo, Wednesday, 17 May 2023 13:05 (ten months ago) link
I want to hear this album, but I DO NOT want to look at this cover every time I do.
My new album ‘HIT PARADE’ will come to you on SEPTEMBER 8TH. Pre-order the album from my store to access the pre-sale for the headline show at ALEXANDRA PALACE. My new single ’THE UNIVERSE’ is in the world RIGHT NOW and available to stream & save here! 🌀 https://t.co/GMU1gAwdjG pic.twitter.com/NZbuJI6VZb— Róisín Murphy (@roisinmurphy) May 17, 2023

The song sounds lovely and excited for the whole thing. September seems so far away. This one was ripe for summer.
I agree on the album cover, the AI artwork for that one and the singles is really ugly looking.

Sean Johnston drops the Payfone remix of You Knew one hour 55 minutes into this mix. Sounds absolutely amazing.

i love these two singles more than anything from "roisin machine".

"Can't Replicate" is apparently a 1000-copies vinyl-only release, at least for now, which is a shame because it's essentially "French Kiss" with a slinky diva vocal
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 15 June 2023 21:23 (nine months ago) link
also the artwork is the same artist who did the last two Westerman albums, which makes total sense to me
― boxedjoy, Thursday, 15 June 2023 21:24 (nine months ago) link
"can't replicate" is on the album, though it's a different edit to the single
― ufo, Thursday, 15 June 2023 22:04 (nine months ago) link
feeling some of those live songs. not feeling “coocool” (“the universe” is fine). deeply not feeling the visual aesthetic of this album.

As posted upthread, the Payfone remix of that sounds great.
Also loving the Lil Louis influenced Can't Replicate

that whole ALFOS mix is excellent, the Alison Goldfrapp single sounds amazing in it as well as this Payfone remix

Wait what are you talking about? Has it leaked?

they're talking about the remix of "you knew" in this mix at ~1:55:00, which was linked upthread
― ufo, Saturday, 15 July 2023 14:23 (eight months ago) link
Ok this is officially out. You were right the Payfone remix is great
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 18 July 2023 16:19 (eight months ago) link
amazing vocal performance in the original which the payfone mix downplays a little

singles all amazing so far. shaping up as potential aoty contender

Clearly this is one of the world's best songwriters, yes?
What a run she's on. Jesus.
― mr.raffles, Tuesday, 18 July 2023 18:28 (eight months ago) link
Just copped tickets to the Terminal 5 show. Been a fan since the first Moloko album, but this will be my first show. September 27th can't come fast enough.
― mr.raffles, Wednesday, 19 July 2023 02:25 (eight months ago) link
Hmmm, she's coming to the Wiltern in LA just before that. Tix from $68.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 19 July 2023 02:32 (eight months ago) link
$55 all in for NY. Which doesn't seem that bad for somebody who's made loads of my favorite records.
― mr.raffles, Wednesday, 19 July 2023 02:35 (eight months ago) link
No doubt. I'd pay considerably more for that for this woman. She's brought me more joy than just about anyone else, musically speaking, in the past decade plus.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 19 July 2023 02:37 (eight months ago) link
*more than that
Got two GA. Given that she is playing only two US dates, this was surprisingly easy.

will this dethrone hairless toys as her best?

Her Glastonbury show on BBC iPlayer brought me as much joy as any other musical *thing* last year, I think.
