[Rubin Farr]

Curious to see what she came up with in lockdown

She also has a new podcast, discussing her discography album-by-album:

It would be cool if she writes some hooks again. Recently it feels like she does one vocal take over a cool composition, despite having a good voice.

I am imaging the podcast consisting of 30 second episodes like:  _{^{"This album reminds me of a butterfly in a snowstorm".}}

What do you mean? But yeah, Vespertine is a masterpiece an I've never heard anything as magical and beautiful, track by track.

Based on the lyrics (and her previous album) it seems that she’s trying to advocate the object relations theory quite a lot

Holy shit... my local commercial alt station is going to debut it. This is gonna piss off the 80's listeners lmaoooo

[zazen]

I was 19 when Debut came out, it was a breakthrough hit of an album and (at the time) sortof revolutionary in that it was largely electronic music but done by a 'serious' artist with serious skills. Protection by Massive Attack and Dummy by Portishead were also huge albums around that time that had that same vibe - "really fucking good music that also happens to be largely electronic". Come To Me, Venus As A Boy, The Anchor Song really loved all that. Then Post had a few nice ones (really liked Isobel) and then Homogenic was a brilliant album that really caught the thing that Isobel seemed to be reaching for on the previous one. And then Vespertine was amazing. And then it sortof fell off and I stopped paying so much attention although I did really like Oceania and Mouths Cradle from Medulla.

edit: Although I appreciate she's just doing her thing and thats really quite admirable, its just that it didnt click with me anymore.

Anyway where was I. If you've never heard the Plaid remix of All Is Full Of Love its really good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tD2UhRXOcQ

I like Bailey's (creamy) but I really don't like this new single at all.

vespertine really is that special. Some things just happen, and they are perfect, then all else is like a reverberation of it.
