I trust her, and if it’s no good, hey, she’s allowed a less-than-stellar album at her rate of output.

Just one Grammy. Just one. Cmaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

My top played album of the year. Kintsugi my number one song at 400 plays, followed by the title track at 334. Let that be a statement on how my year went lol

Oh man, I saw her live supporting John Grant in 2018/19 and loved her, what a nice surprise!

It must be “ribbons on ice” - as in “Pabst blue ribbon on ice” from BtD, interpolated into a more surrealist image as per the song’s image-laden lyrics

her reverse warholian expedition incoming 😩

“Elohim” and “Feelin’ Early; Feelin’ Late”

‘Brought by the sunlight Of the spirit to pour into me - There’s a name for it in Japanese: It’s kintsugi. They sang folk songs from the forties, Even the fourteen year-old knew Froggy-Came-a-courtin’ - How do my blood relatives Know all of these songs? I don’t know anyone left Who knows songs that I sing - That’s how the light gets in.’ Or alternatively ‘There we went, Screaming “Black Lives Matter” In the crowd on that Old Man River, And I saw you saw who I am - God I wish I was with my father, He could see us in all our splendour, All the things I couldn’t want for him.’ Both of these were mic drops for me - these impossibly run-on sentences that simultaneously lilted melodically.

People pay for this? 🥲

Yeah - like, I appreciate that she went through this period of creative experimentation and self-discovery, but listening to it feels like listening to her incubate, yet to hatch. This of course has its charm, and it’s inspiring as an artist myself to see “huh, yeah, some of my favourite artists really just be wandering around with no fanfare and yet to tap into their genius for ages”, but beyond that mythology… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Been a fan from the beginning, and with the exception of Pawn Shop Blues, AKA has never quite clicked for me. I can love similar music, but from her, this specific set of songs doesn’t really do anything for me - wish it did, but I can’t pretend otherwise.

Thinking of seeing her in Dublin - any estimates as to ticket prices?

Whatever happens next, I would like more guitars please.

Still crying to Kintsugi 🤘🏻

Love this album. The only skips are Yosemite and DTWD - and even then their bridges are among her very best.

Good for her, but this is legitimately among her most basic melodies - not criticising the song so much as, well, the wider public’s tastes. 😂

Just what I needed to hear on this otherwise bullshit day. 🥹

TS’s release rate is… bizarre. Like it’s logistically impressive, I’d love to be in a position to create at this rate and scope. But… editing, no? Her work isn’t my thing, the odd tune. I can see albums being replaced with a steady release of songs/EP year-round, which I wouldn’t necessarily be against, in some ways it would be more manageable, if not flowful, for artists. Not that I don’t have a fondness for the album format. I can see her creating a subscription based media service dedicated to her output - she produces at the rate and production quality to justify as much. Maybe that’s the future, and hey, if it puts more money in Artist’s pockets… not that she needs it.

I legit don’t think it’s coming 😂

I’d like to read it!

You do not commit that long and hard for year as going through countless performer aliases and freelancing through dubious finances for a hobby lol

The merch is so bad. 😂

I personally hope for an all new version if we’re to get this, at least more towards the production we have in DYK.

There’s nothing to do except know that this is how the light gets in my depressed ass holding out for a shift: 🥹

🥺 poor thing, I really liked him, just seemed like a lovely guy.
