SOPHIE - Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides (sync listen) - TONIGHT at 7pm

[COB]

OMG imagine this being the lead in for a Eurovision extravaganza, what planning!

 

[COB]

Immaterial

 

[RJN]

Well I don't dislike Pretending per se, but I certainly also don't get it

 

[COB]

Okay, who's ready to dance?

 

[RJN]

13 Immaterial

 

[Tisch]

This is rather JOYOUS isnt it? Caribbean-fused

 

[Lucille]

Immaterial is the most poppy but also best track on the album, the breakdown 2/3rds through is SUBLIME.

 

[COB]

It feels like this really became THE one for fans, it's so emblematic of her spirit - I can be anything I want

 

[COB]

As her label said in their statement a few weeks ago, she was an icon of liberation.

 

[Lucille]

I hope you all have immaterial on VERY VERY LOUD!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Immaterial is absolutely amazing 12455

 

[COB]

I remember dancing to this on one of the first nights out I had with @ZenGiraffe and never feeling happier

 

[COB]

Whole New World / Pretend World

 

[Lucille]

I remember dancing to this on one of the first nights out I had with @ZenGiraffe and never feeling happier

AWWWW

 

[COB]

The way this just CRASHES in!

 

[RJN]

I remember dancing to this on one of the first nights out I had with @ZenGiraffe and never feeling happier

Well I LOVE that

 

[COB]

All the little sound effects in this and how they're used as ASIDES is just amazing

 

[COB]

I looked into your eyes
I thought that I could see a

 

[RJN]

I like how Immaterial really sounds like letting go/breaking free (in a good way) after the buildup of everything before it

 

[COB]

WHOLE NEW WORLD
WHOLE NEW WORLD
WHOLE NEW WORLD

 

[Tisch]

I remember dancing to this on one of the first nights out I had with @ZenGiraffe and never feeling happier

Spoiler

Whole New World is giving me feels I can't quite work out and I love it for that. Almost anxious, like I've done something wrong. But there's still something quite lovely about it.

Yes! I feel like so much of the album has this curious TENSION, like it's constantly walking an emotional tightrope.

 

[RJN]

I looked into your eyes
I thought that I could see a whole new world

Those vocals are giving me early 2000s vibes

This is a bit anxiety provoking, I agree

 

[COB]

The way Whole New World just sort of keeps going and DECAYING into Pretend World... I fucking CANNOT

 

[Lucille]

The whole album is a VERY INTENSE listen, the remix album I actually find quite relaxing in comparison.

 

[COB]

She plays with the Pretend World sort of vibes a bit on the remix album, particularly on the second disc... there's quite a lot of spooky ambient stuff.

 

[COB]

I remember @Zu-Klara talking about Pretend World and asking "wait why am I WEEPING", and I can see where he's coming from!

 

[COB]

I mean, this is what being reduced to nothingness probably sounds like

To be fair he would say the same thing about Lidl’s toffee yum yums.

 

[COB]

Well there we go, thank you for joining!

Here's something short and sweet:
Listen to SOPHJÄRBZ RIGHTS! by bjorks mom on #SoundCloud

I'm not going to lie and say that I loved it, but I certainly liked it more than the first time I listened. I think its an album that deserves more plays and I think I will. I do see why some people (here and some people I know in real life) connect with it so deeply.

Thank you @COB

Here's my favourite Cecile Believe solo song, which I think any fans of Caroline Polachek's recent stuff may enjoy:

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It is a tricky album. I'd say it's more influential than necessarily brilliant.

Knowing there was more to come really made her death so super tragic.

 

[Alla]

I made it to song 6, quite an achievement. Not really a fan but all my respect for her.

 

[COB]

Cecile used to be known as Mozart's Sister, and there's this quite lovely song that I could only describe as Kate Bush meets Petite Meller:

This remix is by Kane West AKA Gus from Kero Kero Bonito, who you might remember from my hyperMOOP night!

 

[Tisch]

Thanks for running @COB! I enjoyed it. Out of my comfort zone granted, but sometimes you gotta.

 

[GNL]

Not Okay and Immaterial are my faves.
