2019 albums worth a listen..... (1 Viewer)

I am enjoying the new FKA Twigs album


but this Pitchfork review is an absolute embarrassment

FKA twigs: MAGDALENE

worst bit of writing this side of their Purple Rain review
 
I like the new album, I didn't like her first album. The fawning sycophants writing about her I find mortifying.
 
I don't really read many reviews really, but I think she's incredible and have loved her for a long time, so so so happy with this album, has felt like a LONG time coming. second listen through, sobs and bops. fallen alien is my fave so far.
 
Yeah I dunno, the whole doing a sponsored by google advert = BLACK FUTURISM SECOND COMING OF SUN RA BY WAY BY WAY OF A TED TALK stuff I find very off-putting. If people want to take her seriously as Art with a capital A that's cool by me but then I expect THE DISCOURSE to be on a similarly high plane, not just buying into the press release.
 
much prefer my analysis to pitchforks:

Third part of the 10" series
 
For a good few years Fire! Orchestra is a name I had been meaning to check out.
Heard a brief interview with one of their vocalists on Stuart Maconie's Freakzone last night and finally delved in afterwards. Delved into their most recent album anyway, Arrival. It's fantastic. Contains out there jazzy moments that would appeal to fans of Cinematic Orchestra and Portishead maybe. Vocals on it are really great. Can't recommend enough.

I keep banging on about this to anyone who will listen but that ALS record is just terrific.
