Holy fuck! There's new Active Child (and Pomme), am why didn't you say something sooner!

i was underwhelmed by new active child but it's started to grow. the new pomme is great. i keep meaning to start a thread (see also: danish reggae star soleima).

 

[ameraal]

early this month, too much stuff i'm loving.

01 violence - grimes - it's throway and yet it's really not
02 some place else - mormor - always loved it but the video has rekindled feelings
03 lark - angel olsen - i think this is proper bonkers and she'll be considered a great pretty soon
04 want you in my room - carly rae jepsen - ugh, i love everything about this more than ever
05 so hot you're hurting my feelings - caroline polachek - stupid fun but not stupid
06 accident - jenny hval - this is crazy good. the video really takes it to a whole other level. fantastic.
07 fancy - isaac delusion - i'm not sure what it is about this... maybe the silly production and the bitterness for the times to it.
08 the hunger - bat for lashes - this one just makes me feel a bit filthy. and that synth. love the bush revival.
09 waiting for the moment - jonathan bree - very toight and i absolutely adore him.
10 black cloud - postdata - the video reignited my love for this in a big way. it's got nice twang. mama, estoy contaminado!

11 dancing in the dark - lucy dacus - wonderful cover, both the song and single artwork. what a wonderful world one in which it could be a hit.
12 i can never be myself when you're around - chromatics - i think they might be my favourite band these days
13 pieces of us - mark ronson + king princess - among ronson's more understated productions and i want to love king princess.
14 boxes - billie marten - what does this remind me of i love it? yamagata? some other melancholy heartbroken woman? me?
15 what could be as lonely as love? - amber run - this one's for @Yvonne Mondle. song + video = 10
16 only if you want it - magdalena bay - trust @Mats to come up with this shit. it's carly rae jepsen on hippie drugs
17 really don't like you - tove lo + kylie - it's been a while since kylie had a hit where it really counts (here). she does it with this effectively underwhelming number. i really just don't like you/you look prettier than i do is already great but adding tonight gives it a bit extra.
18 what you did - mahalia + ella mai - girls that are too dressed up is my favourite trend... the sounds are good too though mariah did it first
19 try me - tems - some of the lyrics are naff but her voice gives me feels. where's @Ryan? he'd have heard of her
20 can't stop your lovin' - poolside - the only really disposable track in the top 20 this month. still cute

just a youtube playlist, sorry.

so much good stuff these days, it's insane! i proper love everything until about 14-15-16. i think i have another 20 good for a separate bubbling under chart. will probably do it in a couple of days. promise not to write essays.

 

[Yvonne Mondle]

Oh @ameraal this is simply FANTASTIC!



For MULTIPLE REASONS!

 

[Yvonne Mondle]

And filmed just up the road in Bethnal Green!

 

[Yvonne Mondle]

promise not to write essays.

I’ll be disappointed if you DON’T!

MORE ESSAYS PLEASE!

 

[Mats]

Violence is pretty fucking good. I despair when I hear what Mr M's 18-year-old niece is blasting next door instead of something like that. I mean, the young 'uns could be having SUCH FUN

 

[Mats]

06 accident - jenny hval - this is crazy good. the video really takes it to a whole other level. fantastic.

I'm telling myself it's Sundfør on the high vocal towards the end of the song but that's probably wishful thinking. a duet though...

 

[northernlad]

@Krust If you should return with a list for the last half of the year (please do), might you compile a playlist on YT or Spotify. I've been gradually making my way through your list since July and I still have loads left. I get too distracted having to look them up one at a time.

Violence is pretty fucking good. I despair when I hear what Mr M's 18-year-old niece is blasting next door instead of something like that. I mean, the young 'uns could be having SUCH FUN

Howl is one of my favourites at the moment. The Archer is really good too, though I wasn't so sure about the singles before that.

Those Half Moon Run and Shay Lia songs are quite wonderful.
