Guys, this Natalie Prass album is fukking amazing.

This is normally not my sound.....I've never really fully appreciated folk-ish singer songwriters. But this is just so well crafted. Not sure its gonna fly on this forum though :lupe:

Seriously, give it a real chance. I especially love the production. Some genius of restraint was present in that studio, because there are a lot of great ideas packed into this but they are never overdone and balance brilliantly with the airy spaciousness necessary for the vocals

Peepe the bass and subtle drum flourishes in the chorus of this song:


That riff is some all-time classic shyt. Like the type of shyt from the 1970's you've heard so many times as a kid growing up in the 90's in movies and tv that you are left unable to appreciate just how fresh and classic it was when it came out.

Hope someone else likes this album. Don't leave me hangin:sadcam:


EDIT: Entertaining read about the new-ish studio and group of producers that spit out this album
http://www.theguardian.com/music/20...studio-with-natalie-prass-and-matthew-e-white

It looks like I have a new label on my radar. Spacebomb. And I gotta keep an eye out for that new Matthew E White record this year

EDIT 2: That first Matthew E White single :banderas:

Yall see this Father John Misty performance on Letterman? :mjlol:


Starts off playing the piano, only to stop and cross his legs exposing that it was an auto-playing piano:russ:

Then he prances around and hops up on the piano for some bizarro-world cabaret show, changing positions with each line:heh:

Then he belts out the big line 'save me white jesus':heh:


Then he's got a laugh track running through the end of the song:banderas:


shyt funny as hell....not sure if the audience picked up that he was intentionally fukking with them because the awkward silece as he ends is :heh:

Of Montreal leaked. Not sure I care, dude hasn't done anything noteworthy in 7 years. Song I recently heard on XMU was same old same old too

EDIT: Good god this shyt is horrible. Avoid at all costs


Mount Eerie leaked too if you have the patience to sit through the slow droning

EDIT: Album is boring as fuuuuuuck. I like droning music as long as there is payoff. Very few high moments here, sounds unfinished

Toro Y Moi new album leaked at 192kbps

Never liked this dude much because I didn't feel his voice was strong enough for the songs he was trying to sing, no soul or depth

He chose a lane this album that fits him better IMO. Its more of an indie rock vibe, The Shins-ish.

Not commenting on the quality of the album because I haven't listened to it all, just basing my comments off skimming around

Gonna hold off on that Toro for a bit.

Natalie Prass has been on repeat for me even though a few of the songs are kinda corny. But when it hits it fukking hits.

Currently listening to this John Carpenter album though :ehh:
