Some of the best chillwave acts out there, very nice music. They have quite a few free songs on their bandcamp page too.
I think that’s a good direction for CFCF. For years, I was loving his remixes, but not so much his original music. It was good, but not as good as his remixes. This direction suits him better. If I’m to give one advice, it would be to add a few surprising twists in the pieces, maybe by suddenly introducing different sounds, or going a bit off key momentarily etc. Just let the listener wait the unexpected.
I love Teen Daze.
I can’t stand her. Not because the songs are bad (they have good hooks actually), but because she sings in 95% of the duration of each of her songs. There is no actual music in there to speak of, it’s just background noise to Florence’s voice — a voice which doesn’t leave anything to imagination.
I don’t like it either, I don’t hear any catchiness or epicness into their music. This is like the indie rock version of some really bad commercial hip-hop.
Now, THIS was music! That’s the kind of stuff I want to be seeing here.
This music sounds like hipster-ifying cruiseship music. It has no punch, it sounds lame. I’m sure the band can write more interesting music than that, it’s not the actual song that it’s problematic, but I’d say, probably the production.
I don’t see why a performance has to be only about live music. Why a performance couldn’t be a view into the inner demons of the artist, which could in fact help explain the record? What if playing live some instruments is simply entertainment, but having theatrics involved gives more meaning into it? I guess some fans would want to have 45 minutes of “musical fun”, and others would want to connect, and learn. I’m one of the latter ones.
If enough editors hated Maus for his comments this last August, then it’s easy to imagine that he didn’t make the top-50.
Fully agreed. I was shocked as well. I have this feeling that Pitchfork was punishing him for speaking his mind about stuff on interviews (e.g. against the media juggernaut that includes Pitchfork, record stores, the fact that he made fun of them when they asked him about what his ringtone was, etc). They tried to punish him IMHO for not taking Pitchfork and media seriously. This pissed me off immensely.
This is more indie rock than their previous atmospheric chillwave-ish sound. I personally prefer their older, dreamier sound.
John Maus album should have been in that top-50. It was very unfair not to include it.
I never liked or understood Newsom’s music. I don’t get it at all, I can’t find any hook, no atmosphere that I like either. The video was rather uninteresting to me too, it had a ’90s idea, but with CGI. I’m happy that she has many fans, it’s just not my cup of tea.
What, no John Maus?!?
I’d give it a 5/10 or 6/10 as maximum, definitely not as good as their first single from their previous album. Sounds like something that was born without inspiration.
Terribly corny. Old style, don’t like it.
Love it! Reminiscent of Soft Moon.
I love Washed Out’s first cassette and EP, but this full album was underwhelming for me. Less dreamy somehow, songs didn’t really go anywhere. Still, better than most music out there, so I can’t complain much.
Haha, I love the first video, really funny.
I absolutely love Soft Moon. In my opinion, he’s on the top-3 Bay Area artists currently.
This album is a joke. Metallica needs to give up and just stay with their families and live a simple family life if that’s all the kind of music they can write now in their 50s. I’m sure they have enough money to retire, so retire already. There’s no point releasing bad music and make an a$$ of yourself to your fans.
The whole “Borderline” video looks like Rihanna’s “new” look overal, but check particularly on 0:53 of Madonna’s music video. When I saw the Rihanna picture, that’s exactly what came to mind.
I’d say it’s more like 1984. Check Madonna’s “Borderline” music video on youtube. In the scenes where she wears the jeans, she looks and feels the same as Rihanna does above.
I liked that song better than any other in her two previous albums btw.
I heard that bit last night, and I almost fell off my chair. “Awkward” doesn’t even fully describe it. Honestly, I don’t know what Metallica is thinking… Out of ideas much? Or a contract signed while drunk in Vegas? I don’t know what else to think…
Terrible. I mean, where are the revolutionary videos shot when with White Stripes? This is like going 30 years back in time in terms of video art. And the song is not that great either.
