Laurel Halo - Chance of Rain

[vamos scorcho]

All of it, there's what like 3 releases

 

Quarantine

[Guest oldenjon]

Just got it (a really bad rip of it anyways), and sad to say that the "off-key" vocals are entirely missing from this one. quarantine haters will rejoice

[Lesley]

Graet stuff.

Praise be to Jesus. That gives me a reason to check out this new album.

I must have the same one, 80kbps, so it's all muffled, but there's nice rhythms and beats, I'm looking froward to hearing it properly.

[BobDobalina]

Is it at all like Behind the Green Door? Would most defiantly like to get behind some more of that

[Lesley]

To me it's a bit different, it has more tribal beats and is more ambient, I only listened once though as it was too muffled to enjoy properly.

I was definitely nodding my head to the ryhthms though, so I think it was good ;)

[Jur]

We shouldn't even listen to the album, we should just rate it on the album cover alone. AOTY

hawt track

[eugene]

boring. where have the weird vocals gone ?

[BOCfan]

Hmmm....

 

That track starts off nicely and sounds like it will be promising, but it gets into a groove and just sits there, which is a shame. Still, keen to hear more.

On the cover of The Wire this month!

 

[Guest Zelmo Swift]

Have yet to get into Laurel Halo, what's a good place to start?

Don't say vagina, pls.

 

Probably Hour Logic. It seems to be the intersection of her purely beat-based compositions and her vocal work.

 

Her newest album has almost no vocals at all, as I understand it.

 

I really liked that Ainnome track that was released a couple weeks ago on soundcloud.

[BobDobalina]

Those pitchfork infomercials are pretty crass, liking what I hears in the preview stream though.

[sheatheman]

I don't listen to her because she is a girl.

 

 

I have Hour Logic but I honestly don't know where I put it. It's pretty good though.

 

[Guest Zelmo Swift]

The opening track almost sounds like a Sun Ra solo piece. Then it's kinda snorey until halfway through with the title track. After that it really has my attention.

 

Seems she's exploring new textures with this release.

 

Feels like it would've made a better EP than a follow-up LP to Quarantine.

 

This sounds more like King Felix than Laurel Halo. Now that I mention it, I'm wondering why she even bothered to use that name for that SPRING EP which I thought was really good. Green Door and Sunlight both sounded like King Felix releases anyway. Hm.

hella sun ra on the opening track, really lush too.

haven't made it far thru the stream, but it sounds weird and raw enough to explore in a better format. first proper 'beat-y' track gives me an autechre vibe.

[Guest Gravity]

On track 4, ver gud so far.

[Atop]

I love this.

[doublename]

Very impressed on first listen. This has a similar feel to the Stellar OM Source album, which I loved. LH da baddest bitch.

[Salvatorin]

good idm

[Ivan Ooze]

i just got this! its OK!!!

[kichiguy]

Still/Dromos is one of the best pieces of music I've heard this year. Those melodies around the 1:40 mark sound like the 'chre at work. Great album and the vinyl is very reasonably priced too.
