RÓISÍN MURPHY

feels like a pretty similar wavelength to the last avalanches album just much better?

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

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.

bunch of new songs live, i really like "free will" especially

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

also the artwork is the same artist who did the last two Westerman albums, which makes total sense to me

"can't replicate" is on the album, though it's a different edit to the single

feeling some of those live songs. not feeling “coocool” (“the universe” is fine). deeply not feeling the visual aesthetic of this album.

excited to hear this one

yes!

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?

https://www.mixcloud.com/delscott/alfos-ebs41-sean-johnston-09-06-2023

they're talking about the remix of "you knew" in this mix at ~1:55:00, which was linked upthread

Ok this is officially out. You were right the Payfone remix is great

amazing vocal performance in the original which the payfone mix downplays a little

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

She's such a badass.

Clearly this is one of the world's best songwriters, yes?

What a run she's on. Jesus.

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.

Hmmm, she's coming to the Wiltern in LA just before that. Tix from $68.

$55 all in for NY.
Which doesn't seem that bad for somebody who's made loads of my favorite records.

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.

*more than that

Got two GA. Given that she is playing only two US dates, this was surprisingly easy.

Feel like we made good decisions tonight, jim.

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.

"free will" might be one of the best songs she's ever done based on section in that set

setlist for those curious:

"two ways"
"hurtz so bad"
"free will"
"the house"
"incapable"
"coocool"
"can't replicate"
"fader"

why is this album still over a month away, it's too far given we've heard nearly every track at least in part now

teaser for a moodymann remix of "what not to do" sounds intersting

back in the pandemic year of disco, there were so many awesome albums dropped from some legends but I think Roisin Machine was the best one. super psyched for this.

ok here it is. kdj and rm go together really well imo, he's a great foil for her. also it's the best thing i've heard from him in a while? i haven't been feeling his output for a minute for whatever reason.

A huge disappointment if it's real

Is this real and why can’t I find anyone else talking about it pic.twitter.com/lziHKVWP8C

yeah, a painful one to never want to listen to again but here we are

The accent's missing in her name, though?

You can find the account pretty easily. No accents present.

ugh ugh ugh

nooooooo

yeah this seems to be real - the account is in a few FB music groups I'm in, and it seems convincing enough to make me believe it's definitely her own personal/private profile. Really fucking grim when you consider that so much of her profile is based on leaning into being the "hip" choice of gay icon, it feels like the LGBT+ audience are worthy of using for acclaim and profit but not affording autonomy and respect to.

one of the grimmest aspects of the transphobic war has been this endless parade of allies and libs deciding that they've reached the threshold of their tolerance and have no choice but to side with hate

i guess at least there's some masks off

not her real account.

this is her official space :

https://twitter.com/roisinmurphy

different avatar pic.

been through recent likes/replies and this aint in the listings i can see.

it's not from the twitter account as far as i understand this

isn't it from her FB page?
