took a chance on buying this CD that was extremely buried in a pile and also extremely cheap in a used record store and WOW it is fantastic. dark synthpop perfection. i didn’t know that caralee mcelroy (formerly of xiu xiu) worked on this record and i love xiu xiu to death so it was a very fortunate find lol
thank you yazz for reminding of this album… i’ve been meaning to listen to it ever since i heard “IWR” on the very last episode of my friend’s college radio show, more than two years ago. now, i am laying on my floor, blissfully stoned, mouth agape in candle-lit darkness absolutely in awe of this masterpiece of music. every single song feels so intimate, each sound, each word amplified and layered on top of the other, like cake, a sonic confection that makes your heart smile a lot (and your teeth hurt a little) with every bite you take. this album tries to do a lot, and in doing so, becomes irreplaceable. i can’t wait to see what they do next. (also “IWR” is still one of the best songs literally ever!!!! yup)
v v short film directed by maya deren and featuring the american dancer/choreographer talley beatty. the cuts are surprisingly experimental, and the dancing is 🤯
