Yes, but for whatever reason it's so busy it confused me at first...

Legit don't know what some of you expected from her lol... and this doesn't sound like NTMT "filler" at all. Are we saying this is worse than Kristine or Omanko?? I sure don't think it is. This is literally in line with everything she's ever done With that being said, with my first few listens of the leak, I remember being very confused with the song's structure. It's got a lot going on. It's probably going to be a running theme with some of the songs she's been sitting on for years and years. I like it, but it's a lot

my time on audiophile forums finally serves me, and i can say with near certitude that this is because they don't do playback at the same volume! so it's placebo, as in your brain perceives louder music as higher quality. apple music's version played in lossless quality should sound better (most noticeably with cymbals) because while the file is heavier, all the data remains in it. spotify has a setting to disable loudness normalization (which technically shouldn't hamper quality unless it's on loud) and apple music's sound check can be disabled in iOS settings > Apple Music. but since each service probably handles audio levels differently... it's probably not volume matched even then. another thing, apple's lossless encoding won't work with bluetooth devices because bluetooth is inherently lossy. Sky is right that streaming services may or may not compress the shit out of her song and have it sound terrible. Tidal is known to do this when labels send out "masters quality" recordings. this is horrible because MQA, the file format used for Masters, is basically a scam that makes your music sound worse than lossless. but i don't think anyone cares to use Tidal anyway. edit: last paragraph is kind of hyperbolic language, the song won't sound like shit encoded on MQA. but it won't be lossless, and it is worse than flac encoding which doesn't need to be played on specific hardware that costs a lot of money. if you want your song file to sound the best, it has to be lossless (.flac or .aiff, the latter is what apple music provides as it's apple's encoding), and after that it's all differences in what master was sent to streaming, of which Don't Forget shouldn't have more than one. this is relevant for older songs

oh i just saw... girlies im just gonna get excited for Descending and ditch . it's been real

Okay, really obscure, but the one streaming service that I find to be respectful of music quality/getting quality masters for songs is Qobuz. If this is something people care about Qobuz is the way. And if you have the hardware (and patience for it) considering in terms of service, it pales next to Spotify. Where are y'all getting that the album isn't for this year? I thought she was talking about not fucking up this release cycle...

i don't think it was fair to expect a single this week considering they 100% announced the single early so people could finally stop harassing her lol

yes it's right here Sky Ferreira - 24 Hours - Live at the Bootleg Theater Los Angeles - April 10, 2013 - YouTube edit is there no way to delete your own replies on this site i just realized someone else posted it ugh

iirc only certain tracks were made in the 3 weeks before she had to submit her album to the label... i think it was Omanko, Kristine, NTMT title track (i think that was the last one she made). there's a video of 24 hours from early 2013!

This Descending snippet sounds so great, if only a little too clean... But it's hard to make sense of how good a song might sound from a 10 second snippet

She needs to stop flopping so the price can inflate

Does anyone know how much I could sell an official Downhill Lullaby cd for

Woke up to snow falling today (in APRIL) when it hasn't snowed in forever here. The universe is giving us (me) signs

this is such a good omen actually because this is the NTMT rollout all over again. teaser for lead single with music video (you're not the one/don't forget), album shortly after. we really won. Now if Descending and I Pray For Rain don't make the Masochism final cut it's over

I wish she would have dropped Masochism in its entirety as a surprise release like Beyoncé's self-titled just to mess with everyone... Just to pull a stunt and trend for a day When we get the alternative version of Downhill Lullaby on Masochism with vocals more forward in the mix WHAT THEN

omg you were right xenomorphqueer!!

i've been so confident she'll release the album before NTMT 10th anniversary because i'm sure she feels like she'd be ashamed letting THAT MUCH time go on before an album release... like if you look at 2013/2014 interviews she seemed really proud to put her album out "against the odds" so i'm convinced she's fully operating on spite/pride now.. the odds of the album being disjointed and bad are way higher than it NOT releasing

oomf saw her riding her bicycle around L.A. once lol so she does That...

at this point i'd be fine just getting Descending and Don't Forget idgaf about the album until i SEE it

okay i was only half-joking earlier when i said we'll remember the journey better than the album because at this point nothing she releases will be good enough. i think we all ought to enjoy the mystique that she's created surrounding this stupid album that's irrevocably going to dissipate once it comes out and we'll realize what it is is so far from what we thought it would be. Like no one else has done this. She's legit broken boundaries. i admire her for somehow building her career around NOT having a career and still have a niche community. perhaps she chose to do so, perhaps she didn't. i don't care. she's really funny. she cracked the code.

This thread is starting to feel like home I hope she never stops lying about this album... The journey we'll look back on more fondly than the album I'm sure

Sorry North posted that

No I'm sure it'll come out at any moment now

does anyone know who the hell and where the hell are the people gatekeeping her leaked songs on discord.. like are they even real? no way people would sit on leaks like this for such a niche artist like what the hell

Does anyone else here own a promo cd for Downhill Lullaby? Bought one a few months ago on Vinted, and was wondering if anyone else got their hands on one. Feeling like that’s the most niche niche collection item ever lol
