Liking this one a whole lot - makes me think of Tirzah and Insides but it's very much its own thing: warm, intimate, a furtive sort of beauty...

Two I liked released today:
R. Missing - Get Careful Darkerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzjVQbOi0BQDarkwave in the style of "Italians do it better". I'll always be a sucker for this kind of vibe.
Nourished By Time - Had Ya Calledhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTootvsdLDMThe whole EP is great, Romance in Me also a highlight for me but this is the one that I liked the most on first listen.

apparently this is AI generated - Guys what is wrong with my cat? It's on spotify as well, with the artist credited as AnotherLaughingMan. I think a lot of the AI generated art that I like takes as its subject matter limitations in understanding or an unbridgeable gap between different ways of perceiving the world, makes the fact that it always sounds slightly 'off' into a virtue?

Adding Teilz - Type of Girl which has been stuck on repeat

was skeptical when pitchfork gave the new empress of album best new music, since i had heard literally nothing about it until then, but yeah, it hits. faves are "cura" and "facil," warped, ethereal club anthems both, with "cura" borrowing a bit from jersey and "facil" with stuttering, chopped up dembow drums
"cura"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsdDwNkiVz0

catching up+that "pool of life" is some pretty ethereal business. not quite sure what to make of it, but it's a fascinating listen every time.
― interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Monday, 1 April 2024 23:31 (two months ago) link
can the 'Guys what is wrong with my cat?' song be added to the playlist? it is on spotify, credited to AnotherLaughingMan.
― soref, Tuesday, 2 April 2024 10:56 (two months ago) link
Does it not appear? i added it yesterday

i've liked some of her music in the past, but the new one is much more surprising and fleshed out than anything she's released before
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 3 April 2024 14:38 (one month ago) link
Yeah, I’d liked a few of her previous singles before but this feels like a significant step up

welp imo they put the best tracks out as pre-release songs, but it doesn't matter because the chanel beads album still delivers. very hazy, pleasantly druggy vibe. weird songs... they'll have these huge choruses, but it'll only hit once during the song's runtime. kind of that wire pink flag ethos of "you get the idea so we'll just stop here." short album too; 9 songs, 28 mins. very solid 4 mics.

Fluke are back with new single Insanely Beautiful and this is the pick of the mixes for me, adding vocals from Leah Clever and bringing a more menacing, trip hop vibe to proceedings Fluke - Insanely Beautiful (Leah's Mix)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuU_wjY_QYY

Added.
Also adding Brittany Howard - prove it to you. Very simple but loved running to it yesterday. Love the house beat on real (?) drums.

that maruja stuff is wild. i'm being... yelled at???... but it's like a lost ecm session again or... ???
huh. ya. very hypey.
seb wildblood+kali mija have a 2 song ep out. i really like the synthy space bass groove on "never look down." kind of reminiscent of the vitesse x/george clanton thing from a bit ago-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WijfOnOYQjo

idk where else to post -and it's too early for me to suss out a highlight- but the fabiana palladino album is damn good.

digging the 'heart racers' ep by kanii, riovaz, and nimstarr. they're all producers and vocalists so idk who is responsible for what, but the ep is a great bit of late night pop. feels very anti-trend in the underground, but i can't get enough of the keyboard sounds.
"tell me" is my favhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IConY8MK8ZM
"heart racers" is the hit (42 million spotify streams)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqiPY1kqs9A
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 21 May 2024 21:37 (one week ago) link
Oh good ones! Both songs sound cool.
“Tell me” is reminding me of a 70s? song that I can’t quite place.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 21 May 2024 23:05 (one week ago) link

first listen love on that one. i did not anticipate the "drop" at all!
as for me, i had some other stuff i wanted to share in here but lol okay kaya-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyRPFlR9ozY"the groke"
now i haven't kept up with her since the second album so i am entirely unsure if this is an intentional joke or what.
but guys, lol this jams.
90s revival continues and okay kaya has wandered into that 120 minutes-curated sound of allegorical triphop-soundtracked worlds originally pointed+laughed at by heroes like luscious jackson or the "my woman" bloke. i intentionally did not post the proper music video for two reasons: it's full of, uhm, weird imagery and it's possibly nsfw. so yeah.
whatever the hell it is, it's been on repeat for the past 20 minutes.

ms ray is actually cooking up a serious potion, i'm convinced. this song is incredible. i made a playlist of her entire output so far.

it came out a little while ago, but short of making a separate thread for her I'm not sure where else to post this - Elyanna is a Palestinian-Chilean singer whose album WOLEDTO I've been enjoying, and "Ganeni" is a highlight:
