joshuatxuk Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Just this my first full listening, excellent album. She's really unparalleled, very unique and versatile voice. http://jagjaguwar.com/release/JAG284/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doublename Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 It really makes me want to ignore the record altogether unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th555 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Not really feeling this one, still loving Half Way Home and Burn Your Fire big time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Burn your fire had a couple of really good tunes, but nothing really stood out for me on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 It doesn't pull on my heartstrings as much as her past work but I still think it's good. Going to probably be more "critically acclaimed" by the tastemakers but you know, 仕方が無い I can't let the PR bs sway my opinion. I just ignore it. That said I know people who wade in it (some are music writers) and it's a weird thing to behold. One of them actually offered me some beers and cash to write a review of this album for a decent size digital media outlet (Alexa rank around 4900) but I respectfully declined. Wasn't up for it on many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello spiral Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Damn I haven't listened to anything since Strange Cacti and the one after that which I don't remember much of. Got some catching up to do I guess. Loved Strange Cacti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 new album "All Mirrors" to be released October 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nil Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Really liked All Mirrors, reminiscent of Kate Bush somehow. Can't listen to the new single atm, looking forward to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaggerMcGuirk Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 These new tracks have some giant "Wall of Sound" production going on. I'm pretty stoked for this new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 ^ Yeah same here, I was worried she'd go into safer synth-pop territory but instead she's managed to get more accessible / poppy while still sounding novel and unique. Kate Bush gets thrown around a lot as a comparison but I agree there's a similar sense of Olsen carving her own niche sound wise and maintaining this very sincere ethos while doing so.

Nil Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Kate Bush gets thrown as a (huge) compliment I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
