kate did a mix for late junction on bbc radio 3: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001hbpb

in case you can't be bothered to click on that, the tracks she played were...

Shiina Ringo - Stoicism
Urbangarde - Commercial Song
Aphex Twin - Bucephalus Bouncing Ball
Nobukazu Takemura - Murmur of the Day
Katamari Damacy - Original Video Game Soundtrack
Macdonald Duck Eclair - Ya...Pa Pa!
Momoe Yamaguchi - Koi no Hotline

wonkee formatting lol oops apols

oh wow i hadn't heard macdonald duck eclair before and they sound like a very emil.y band :)

Macdonald Duck Eclair - Mac Teenage Riot (2004)

getting very off-topic but this track of theirs is gorgeous:

Macdonald Duck Eclair - The Yellow Go

yesss Macdonald Duck Eclair are excellent, plus they have a Longmont Potion Castle name

yeah i like what they got goin'!

Wow is upon us! Sounds good, if mostly back in not-actual-pop-songy territory, just as the previews were suggesting.

huge Rainbow Islands vibes from "confessions at the dinner table"

Love this

yeah it's exactly what I was hoping for given the preview tracks. no real songs but a lot of nice sounds. I know this comparison is lame but you know how all the animals and people in Katamari are only capable of making weird wordless noises? well this is like if you put together a barnyard jam band there

this is lots of fun. love the pings and pops, tho at times they did make me think i was getting a work notification lol

first album from her other project due in June

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/decisive-pink/ticket-to-fame/

that's pretty quick but I am pretty sure nearly all of WOW was recorded before Room for the Moon. in fact you can hear proto versions of those tracks on here if you listen closely. so I guess it makes sense that her actual "new project" is actually something upcoming and not this.

yeah her instagram post for Wow's release says it was made around the same time as Moon

this album's gonna be real good I think. vocals remind me a bit of Stereolab

yeah, i'm more excited for this than the Kate NV album. which is saying something.

oh wow i hadn't heard macdonald duck eclair before and they sound like a very emil.y band :)

Completely missed these posts - I had not heard them before and they *are* a very emil.y band. Loving this.

xp All the Decisive Pink preview tracks so far have been great. Wish the album were coming out sooner!

Love this new project.

So Ticket to Fame is out and it's a lovely treat.

Lovely treat is exactly right, especially "Cosmic Dancer." Optimistic space-pop perfection. Also love the flute throughout--shades of early Kraftwerk.

I like this!

oooh yeah. this is something ILX needs to hear. in the sense that it reminds me of a lot of things that ILX likes. and yeah it totally has that Ralf & Florian/Autobahn sound! would be a shame if this didn't get the attention that WOW did, I mean I'm a fan of everything she does but this one I think makes good on the promises of her best stuff

yeah this is very good stuff, easily my favourite album she's been involved with

a bunch of this album reminds me of this Telex song in particular

Decisive Pink euro touro announced:

Bizarrely they're playing here in the tiniest pub (capacity 100!), just a mile away at the bottom of the hill from where i live. Am completely losing my mind about this, holy heck

i mean, this is what the stage looks like in there:

Only two UK dates and one at the Rose Hill? Bloody hell!

wow, that's crazy. I was really close to seeing her in Chicago but that's kind of a drive and I couldn't make it work. but the show seemed to just be at some bar/coffee shop, would've been super cool

Ticket booked for the Brighton show. Pumped!

Decisive Pink London show cancelled!

any idea why?

None at all. I just received a Dice notification. I was looking forward to it :(

Weird! Can't find any further info online. Still tickets available for brighton though, so don't think that's affected.

(come hang out with us if you fancy it!)

something i did find during my investigations though...

Would love a trip to Brighton but can’t make it work unfortunately… have fun and report back please!

Sad to say it looks like the Rose Hill show is also cancelled. I saw visa issues mentioned.

huh. i went as surrealism for halloween and as part of that i wore a tank top with a kandinsky print on the front.

i used to have a cd called "live at the knitting, factory, vol. iii" and this piece called "kandinsky" was on it. i like it.

so shit, who the fuck even benefits from not granting a visa for this?

I meant to listen to this and maybe go to the gig but forgot until tonight, then I was like oh shit the gig was tonight wasn't it? but turns out it wasn't anyway. oh well. I am going to too many gigs this month already anyway. my ears still hurt from Slowdive last week

from her social media just in case any fans here missed it: "Playing at Lincoln center, nyc, march 14th, free entrance"

ok this in a surround sound environment is super cool
