Yeah I liked the movie a lot when I saw it in theaters, but listening to the Good Time soundtrack on its own doesn't do much for me. A bit too noodle-y, IMO. Still really enjoying this one though.

Wow, this is great. I wasn’t super into the Good Time OST, but am really digging this. Dangelis is now bae.

that live set is big bonkers

Just getting to this now, but very fun indeed. Feel like it's a sincere effort, situated between PC Music, Kelela's last LP, and Sophie's last LP. Drawn in by the sound design, stayed for the depth of ideas.

what in tarnation

"Alexa, why is Ssaliva so good?" Thanks for the heads up!

You’re not alone. I’ve noticed this a lot lately with younger artists - pretentious nonsense used to cover up absolutely abysmal music. A lot of Holly Herndon's peers and shitload of post-dubstep post-grime stuff falls in this category but I'd be hard-pressed to put her in this critique, even though it's one I share. A lot of 'avant-garde' stuff with heavy PR and hyperbolic write-ups often end up sounding like 90s era MIDI music piss takes. And that's the "experimental" stuff - synthpop and art pop is even more eye roll inducing, especially bands of art students just rehashing post-punk

Very stoked to snap this up in a US shop.

Appreciate the heads up! Been waiting to hear that Rian Treanor.

Loving this band
