Jeanne Dielman

People clutching their pearls and jumping into conclusions about the overall sound and direction of LDR9 despite the fact that BOZ said that the album is «so wild that he couldn’t believe that he loved it that much» and that it has a lot of variety and lush instrumentation is just sending me. Not to mention that she’s working with several new people on this record (Batiste, Genesis, etc.).
 
It’s pretty obvious that she’s currently fond of a more mellow/grounded/subtle sound and focuses on her conversational/free-flowing poetic lyricism, but there is space for sonic experimentation - see BOZ’s description of A&W - and vocal as well (White Dress on COCC; Sweet Carolina and Arcadia on BB). I happen to be a fan of her latest records, probably because I prefer my music sparser. Hopefully this new body of work is cohesive and showcases artistic growth.
 
Pitchfork’s review was to-the-point: the title track is an admittedly dreamier and more lush version of her latest style, sure,  but it also reveals little details in its sonic direction and influences - the sigh of relief; the celebratory choir; the tiny mumbling; the buildup; the crescendo of warmth -, as well as in its lyrics - the writing is far more layered and, dare I say, contradictory than expected: it’s both nostalgic and mournful; its deceptively straightforward metaphors about the fleetingness of life, forgotten spaces and blurry memories are quite devastating, because they can be interpreted in different ways, and I suppose they will be further illuminated by the overall concept and direction of the album.
 
I don’t know, I’m quite optimistic about the final result. But I’ll reserve my judgment until I get to listen to the entire record.

He said that it’s « fucking wild » and the sounds they came up with are « unprecedented » compared to their previous work together. It could be a disaster, but it certainly sounds interesting.

i mean she definitely has found her comfort zone but that doesn't mean she isn't experimenting new sounds and is uncapable of doing an entire album with no piano. COCC & BB both have new exciting moments that we never heard and i'm sure this album will too

This song is so much more than a piano ballad. It’s dynamic and climatic, there’s so many details like the strings and the choir. The song starting with that exhale set the tone, it’s just perfect. I think it’ll grow on anyone that doesn’t like it right now! 

the last minute of the song is absolutely surreal it makes me feel like I’m floating in space. Truly magical!!!

I would oddly be okay without a video for this era... I think because everything happened so fast & we have a date and the visuals are so exceptional (to me) so far... I can't picture a video doing justice for this song. its such a unique track to add to her discography 
 
but I am curious about where she was sitting in front of the "carwash" on the single picture ... maybe they shot some things in Long Beach tbd I guess

This song feels monumental, it’s going to go down as a classic. 
 
Also, I’m getting Lynchian vibes from the song — “It's because she's in a world, preserved, only a few have found the door. It's like Camarillo, only silver mirrors running down the corridor”  — I visualize an alternate Red Room from Twin Peaks with silver mirrors instead.
 
I’m just so thrilled, she totally blew me away. 
The album visuals remind me of Lynch too, and Warhol but maybe I’m going too far. IDC!

I think a pastor’s sermon on an album that got Tommy Genesis and a song called American Whore (or A&W whatever) is very camp

Okay I am fully claiming the vibe this album. Pastel vinyl colors, airy big hair vibes. I'm eating this up
