he's also said there's a new album, the passionate ones planned for later this year too
― ufo, Friday, 9 February 2024 16:58 (one year ago) link
He/they opened for Dry Cleaning last year, was a revelation kind of like L’Rain’s live set.

i do like "hand on me," it doesn't live up to the highlights from the last album, but what does?

oh "romance in me" is on the ep too, i still need to dig through all the pre-album material because there's like a whole album's worth
― ufo, Thursday, 22 February 2024 11:03 (one year ago) link
confirmed all the pre-album tracks are wonderful, he should put out a compilation of them all

i'm interested especially because you said "arthur russell does freestyle" and ufo said "blue nile does freestyle" in the original thread― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 21 February 2024 7:33 AM (yesterday)

re: this from the other thread yeah those three are all very good reference points for their vibe which is really something special
― ufo, Thursday, 22 February 2024 12:57 (one year ago) link
Love a lot of this stuff, but I just have to drop in a little shout for the rework of Dry Cleaning's "Gary Ashby," which is super-charming and really clever. (Every tortoise deserves explosions and chase scenes!)

Yeah finally got around to a listen to some of his stuff the other day -- really good!

thirding the live show, definitely the best solo+laptop set I've seen
― soup of magpies (geoffreyess), Friday, 23 February 2024 17:07 (eleven months ago) link
the new ep rules, of course
― ufo, Friday, 22 March 2024 08:23 (eleven months ago) link
here is a spotify playlist of all the non-ep/lp tracks, chronologically.
if it wasn't already clear, i am completely on board here.
― interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Friday, 22 March 2024 08:46 (eleven months ago) link
also i've figured out who this reminds me of!
terence trent d'arby / sananda maitreya. no malice intended in either direction -- it's the "genres-melting-together-in-real-time" feeling. love love love!
― interstellar anthropologist+music philosopher, (Austin), Friday, 22 March 2024 08:56 (eleven months ago) link
or wait -- no!
ttd / sm if they were in the associates!
whatever the case, this is definitely approved for all audiences.

opening track exactly the sort of weird banger i'd hoped for

compiling that odds+ends playlist, i've already found a "lost" gem in the back catalogue-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91X5hEVFCT8tesia+nourished by time - "that's the way it goes" (2022)
idk who tesia is, but they have other stuff on streaming that's also very worthwhile. kinda losing the plot here, but check out their latest thing from february:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txUh_vHaX3Utesia - "when the sun goes down" (2024)

"Had Ya Called" off the new EP, damn

marcus made a playlist for interview mag, it's an eclectic collection that gives good insight to where their head is at: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BX0AMtjsGYR0HOAMTmAYv?si=b8372a2cfe4a40d8

the new ep is unsurprisingly excellent, "hell of a ride," "had ya called," and "romance in me" (not to mention "hand on me") are some of the best things i've heard from them
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Monday, 25 March 2024 17:00 (ten months ago) link
Very much looking to see the live show here in a couple of months.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 25 March 2024 19:36 (ten months ago) link
he came out and did Gary Ashby with Dry Cleaning tonight, really great
― bulb after bulb, Tuesday, 26 March 2024 03:48 (ten months ago) link
EP is absolutely fire.

awesome show yesterday, the earlier solo setup didn't feel limiting or anything but having two more musicians now (incl. phenomenal bassist) opens up so many possibilities for Marcus's performance / means of inhabiting the music

Nice. Will be seeing him a week from tonight.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 19 June 2024 23:48 (eight months ago) link
I missed seeing him on a midweek night up in Baltimore recently. need to go see him sometime
