So the Carly Rae Jepsen + Bullion track wasn’t as good as thought would be, still excited for his upcoming album.
Submitting Mk.Gee - Dream Police instead, which actually could pass for the sort of ghosted, slightly psychedelic sophistipop Bullion does.

I like the theater kid energy of the last two, so allow me to keep it going. This single came out last year but the album just came out last week. Glammy art-pop.

Haha the tune on that Allie X feels like a kind of homage to "Don't Go" by Yaz(oo)! And even shares a bit about getting/calling the doctor.

yeah mk.gee album is really good. i think the singles ("are you looking up?," "dream police," "candy") are the strongest, but not by much. really like the two you've highlighted, moka.

This is an album I'm really looking forward to - new Clarissa Connelly coming in April on Warp Records. She's a Danish musician and perhaps is something like a medievalist version of ML Buch. Her last album (The Voyager, 2020) is well worth checking back on if you missed that, but this is the latest track to drop from the new one:

Loving this one too - think they're an Australian producer, this is kind of somewhere between underworld and Saint etienne, so in the Real Lies ballpark I guess? Anyway, dreamy vocal dance stuff, bodes well for her album....

There’s no Mk.gee thread and I think this is the only thread were there has been any discussion of the 2024 album so I’ll use this thread to suggest listening to his performance at the Jil Sander fashion show in Milan. It’s lovely.

Moka, you might like this new single from the Marias, a group from LA maybe best known for featuring on Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NOlqJHvAZo
Previous releases have had a woozy sound reminiscent of Men I Trust and other Gorilla vs Bear shambhala but this song is a little more direct (it reminds me somewhat of the French discopop band L'Impératrice, who incidentally also released a new song last week)
― monotony, Tuesday, 12 March 2024 04:46 (two months ago) link
Funny you mention it, I follow your “2024” playlist and I was just listening to it a few hours ago while driving and that one caught my attention.
I do know about them… been very loosely following their work since the Superclean EP back in 2017 and even had a couple of their songs on one of my bar’s playlists.
Liked their first album too, had no idea a new one was coming out this month, so thanks fir the heads up!

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?

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

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.
