Could have been posted back in 2017 but I didn't see it anywhere.

A new album arrives on November 3rd. Single is 'U&Me (decemberseventeen)'

Anything happening? I thought we might see some more promo by now.

That final title track is mesmerising. Been playing it for months. The rest of the album is forgettable.

Wow. That's a blast from the past.

Boomkat has the track to buy now. I guess Bleep too. https://boomkat.com/products/a-barely-lit-path

The new track didn't do much for me. I'm still looking forward to the whole album.

I hope there is some music as we get closer to the date. just a sample would be great.

Good news. No 'featuring ...' - also makes me happy.

Does anyone know where he got this footage from? Maybe some documentary?

Heads up, only because it will probably be deleted at a moment's notice. https://honour2.bandcamp.com/album/fantasia-4-hits-for-contemplation-of-our-environment

Bought this. Great stuff.

Never heard of this until today but it sounds great. Boomkat:

If you miss the haunting chiming guitars and general all round bliss of the Cocteau Twins (circa Heaven or Las Vegas), then this album will float your boat. It plays like a set of gorgeous, yet discarded demos that could have easily come from the enigmatic band themselves.

i've heard the Burial track. time-stretched vocals, bending gossamer trance arpeggios into choral echoes. just utter bliss. I don't know how he does it.

Thanks.

Was cool of Warp to envelop NYC in a shroud of smoke for the 10th anniversary of Tomorrow’s Harvest.

Got a copy of Discogs finally. Beautiful, dreamy vibes on a Sunday Summer afternoon. Didn’t realise the whole 35 minutes are made up of samples. It’s like diving into a wormhole of 80s/70s/60s music you’d almost forgotten.

I just saw this today. Great art film, if you like that sort of thing. Soundtrack has been out for a few months and it's also pretty good. Boomkat make some reference to AFX SAW. I can sought of see some similarities but this is a great soundtrack in it's own right. It also annihilates most of the Ghostbox releases these past few years. https://boomkat.com/products/enys-men-original-score?taxon_id=107759

The usual paywall-preview shit.

Songs reworked into a largely unrecognisable form. The decay and erosion itself becomes the music's central focus. You can still hear songs buried deep within these movements, but all definition has been scooped out, leaving beautiful, faded vapour trails in their wake. https://boomkat.com/products/colorloss-record

The Orb without Thomas Feldmann is just not for me - especially when you consider that one half the duo's input is questionable. I do like the last (title) track. The rest is utterly forgettable, IMO.

Just listening to this now.

Love is dissolved into gooey pink syrup on Romance's debut album proper, a melodramatic smudge of dream pop, Hollywood glam and power ballads that gurgle n fizz thru yr emotional veins. Stunning gauzy bliss, highly recommended if yr feeling Malibu/DJ Lostboi x OPN's 'Eccojams’ x Stars of the Lid x Pinkcourtesyphone. In the glistening wake of that cult Celine Dion tribute and a couple of collaborative albums with Lynch sound designer Dean Hurley, Romance diverts their attention to Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s acidic ’75 melodrama ‘The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant’, turning it into a symphonic rumination on love and decayed glamour. The film’s unforgiving dissection of a toxic relationship between a haughty fashion designer and a beautiful but icy ingenue makes use of elegant surfaces to hide tooth-and-claw instincts, a thing Romance conveys thru a palette of smeared-mascara strings and aqueous synths expressively painted to canvas with an ineffably poignant storytelling style. Heart-in-mouth with a sense of nostalgic longing, ‘Fade Into You’ dwells in a half light shared with Oneohtrix Point Never’s Eccojams and the fantasy glamour of Pinkcourtesyphone with its richly transportive melancholy. The emotive signposts of cinematic soundtracks are refracted through a hall-of-mirrors that also reminds us of Brian Eno’s 'Discreet Music' with its long, phased strings slowly criss-crossing into a pitched-down voice. Elsewhere, 'Golden Slumbers' turns evocative music hall woodwind into a sensual soundscape that's not a million miles from Jake Muir's bathhouse experiments, breathing its fictile tones quietly into the moonlight, before waking you from its dreamtime spell with 'Lonely Life’s soup of gaseous ambience.

It was when the first EP dropped and it was Boomkat who got that rumour going.
