Tirzah

The repeated beat makes this feel like a riddim album, I was getting Rhythm & Sound ‘See Mi Yah’ vibes. My only complaint is that it doesn’t appear on EVERY track.

the entropy into shoegaze nightmare is so gorgeously managed tho!

de casier has written hits for newjeans now even if she has none of her own... but come on lol. de casier writes very direct classic r&b melodies, her music is accessible and full of hooks. tirzah is much more left-field even if she's got a bit of an r&b influence

I think we’re agreeing on the same thing? Tirzah and Erika being day and night, 180 degrees separated.

To elaborate, I feel a similarity in them both fighting monotony / lethargy / numbness, both sounding like they're inside a glass wall in claustrophobic or ghostly spaces, a reliance on repetition until nuance and details accidentally appear, songs that are slow and minimal, monochromatic or pointillistic or "midi", or still the way they're using whispers or the tendency to hide into the music. I don't know, I also find De Casier skeletal. Obviously there are big differences as well, de Casier sticks closer to r&b, Tirzah is in an abstract space of her own.

Feeling the Tirzah much more on second listen btw.

loving that fuzz sound on 2DICUV, so thick! hearing some similarities with the DJ Python/Ana Roxanne album

de casier's 'hits' for new jeans ... come on now.

Is the album actually out? Have seen September and November release dates for it?

Digital only until November

Ta, Moodles.

Colourgrade is such a great album too, there´s nothing quite like it

Weird, I have just noticed that the album is not true lossless on Apple Music? Compare the size to the other albums I have downloaded on my phone. Not that I really mind given the overall lofi quality, just curious
