@Zeu$ I know you know the album is live right now. What are your impressions?

Right now, I'm disappointed that the album is different but in a few months or after 30 or so listens (whichever comes first) I know I'll appreciate it. I really feel that way about the production as well. All songs have some sort of non traditional element to them and I'm glad she continued that trend. One of the tracks had a car alarm going off. That's cool. These are some pretty twisted love songs and I do wish the lyrics were stronger but the production and emotion push them along.

There's a lot to love on this album. I think she did a great job. I won't front. The rawness of EP is missed. I still hold that to be her best project. I'll also contend that her voice is hidden more in the production(even if it's incrementally so) than on EP2. Production is EP2 pushed more than before which is fine by me. I don't feel any knockout tracks like Ache, Weak Spot, Papi Pacify or Ultraviolet. The album is pretty smooth through it's 40 minutes. Can't wait to find out what the song on the 7" sounds like.

My favorites are: Preface, Lights On, Give Up, Pendulum, Closer and Kicks. Second tier are Two Weeks, Video Girl, Numbers & Hours. It's a damn good album but the next one better not be "LP2".

I love this chick. :noah:what's crazy about her music is how every song starts off so abstract, just a bunch of random strange sounds and you're:dwillhuh: trying to process it. then everything finally gels and forms into a cohesive sound and it sounds so seamless and smooth, it's like watching an artist draw a painting. New album is incredible, favorite songs are Lights On, Closer, Kicks, Hours, and Give Up. I'm a fan of Tinashe and Sza but Twigs is on another level as far as artistry and songwriting. one of the most exciting artists I've heard in years

:camby:

fukk out of here w/ blog industry plants nikka. She sexy and got that 90s tumblrwave style on lock but if I wanted to listen to Bjork, I'd listen to Bjork.

If an artist with no buzz appears on tons of blogs with NOTHING BUT PRAISE then you should always be skeptical

Why would there be evidence for something that appears out of nowhere? fukk out of here.

No one cares. Unless she wanna bring her lil weird ass across the pond and give me top. No one trying to hear it. Go to The Fader or Complex. I'm sure people on KTT checking for it.

"open minds" :laff::laff::laff::laff:

Like she isn't regurgitating 90s music

Same person who said Young Thug "just yells alot" :pacspit:

Whatever. The only dope thing about this is the visuals with the sound on mute. Oh yeah and Arca, without that production, she'll be exposed.

Ok, I take it all back. I tried to turn my love of her into hate but I need that up in my life :wow:

:russ: what a fukkin clown

I wish this cd could get more pub
The album isn't out yet. She's being dikk rode in many publications. Wait to see how it is in the coming week.

The name of the song on the 7" is "One Time" and it's another INC collaboration. The magnifier is for the lyrics on the back of the vinyl.

Boomkat email about the LP1 Deluxe package.

EDIT: I ordered the CD and Deluxe LP from Amoeba.com but they emailed saying it would ship later this month. They gave me the option to cancel the vinyl and I took them up on it. I only wanted it for the 7" but decided to say "F it". I don't need/ want the other stuff and I figure that someone will rip it and upload it in the future.
