Le Pain - Rachel Veut Danserhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_0RWzugWvA
French retro synth pop. Fits my mood today.

Dorothy Moskowitz & the United States of Alchemyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caqDtSUxxZk
moskowitz was in the classic psychedelic group the united states of america. 50+ years later, she's collaborating with an italian composer. the 24-minute title track has her intoning occasional marianne faithfull-style vocals over a gorgeous orchestral drone

Alex Anwandter - Qué piensas hacer sin mi amor?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ggVjvmM3hw
queer disco pop from Latin America. Javiera Mena is the obvious (lazy) comparison point but I hear more Neil Tennant than Kylie in this, as well as shades of Morgan Geist and Kelley Polar. I love this video too: sexy, provocative and kitsch - why can't the Sam Smiths of the world be doing this?

holy cow i love that
― ꙮ (map), Wednesday, 5 April 2023 22:21 (one year ago) link
love Alex Anwandter - a giant in Chilean pop along with Mena (it's a fair comparison imo considering they've worked together in the past and are generally seen as part of the same scene. and iirc they both made our top 77 in the same year back in 2012 or something :))
I'm excited for his new album - was a bit meh on Maricoteca, but this and Precipicio are both great. And all three have great videos!

that Alex Anwandter rules. thanks for sharing. re: the kelley polar reference, i vaguely recall KP contributed strings to a couple songs of his 10+ years ago after he'd gone quiet with his own material. they'd def make a good pair!

only just catching up on the smokey r'n'b of the new yazmin lacey album. i like the lo-fi production on this song and the way it slowly builds momentum into a little blissed-out synthy moment:

I'll have to watch that. I could see them being super fun to see live!

I'm a bit pissed off that I missed out on their show here in a super small venue. They dont actually start out with their best material on that kexp thing imo, but when they get going, they're phenomenal

I tried to pull some support together for Say She She's album in last year's poll, but I think only one other person ended up voting for them. Glad to see others catching on!

Kassi Valazza - Watching Planes Go By
Don't think I've seen this mentioned. A country tune, with a breakdown that sounds like Chris Forsyth jamming with the Doors (hyperbole clearly, but not a million miles off).

The DJ Danifox record on Principe Discos is a really nice listen. Takes the batida sound and adds a lot nice chords, live bass, dubbiness, and 'lo-fi' textures.

that 30 min De Lux track is a lot of fun. reminds me very much of Cut Copy's In Ghost Colours, which also essentially played like a long mix. IGC also produced by Goldsworthy; no shortage of DFA homage here. that bassline that kicks in after the 5 min mark had me thinking Black Leotard Front
― anza808, Thursday, 11 May 2023 03:00 (eleven months ago) link
Yeah, I only discovered them from the EOY nominations last year and Cut Copy was a definite reference point. Assuming the cover is a direct nod to 45:33 too

JIM - James Baron aka Ron Basejam and one half of Crazy P(enis) and White Elephant - releases his debut album next month but with his solo project he's channeling Laurel Canyon balearica rather than house & disco. This is probably my favourite of the recent tracks he's released (his cover of The Cult's Phoenix from a couple of years ago is also a fave)

I enjoy the recent EP from Yunè Pinku, Babylon IX... I guess it's sort of "RIYL early Grimes"? The final track, "Fai Fighter," feels like a standout to me:

― undomondo, Wednesday, 31 May 2023 09:20 (eleven months ago) link
I wasn’t into the Nabihah Iqal album when I first heard it but it has gradually won me over. “Sunflower” is certainly a highlight, probably the song that opened the album for me. “This world couldn’t see us” is my favorite one atm. It nails a very nostalgic sound and era.

i like the new collection by the band the Lavender Flu. they don't really sound like Deerhunter but their general aesthetic reminds me of Deerhunter - classic '50s/'60s melodies but with wonky/fuzzy arrangements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp5ua-pE5pI
