the same Buddy vibe, I love it.

I really like bleachers music, I'm excited.

thank you to whoever suggested to play buddy's rendezvous after DYKTTATUOB cause wow 

I see a lot of people basing it entirely on one song, expect the album to come out at least 

I'm really intrigued by how the collaboration with Tommy Genesis will sound.

omg

BOZ said we would all find something to like about the album. and Ed also mentioned something like this on IG

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. 

Tata Vega is a living legend. i love her very much.
