love him

 

this is fantastic.

 

Got through the first half last night and it sounded beautiful

 

Tight, I haven't been able to listen in full yet but ran the previews of every track and it all sounded p amazing

 

Yeah, this is one of the best things I’ve heard so far this year.

 

this is WILD

I Never Dream and Some Kind of Game back to back is incredible. Love the soulful sample hip hop stuff. The synths in Rave On U are crushing, what a magnificent closer.

 

every time i drive the only song i wanna hear is rave on u, and ever since i get to my destinations really quickly. i cant not speed with those synths.

 

nico bby

 

8.8

 

the most obvious pitchfork thing ever is that if this wasn't known to be nico this wouldn't have gotten a score this high, haha. not having anything to do with quality of course

still gotta listen

 

agreed with you, it really is that good imo but under any other name 90% of ppl that like it wouldn't care

 

great, stimulating conversation

 

music criticism politics are interesting

 

It's a genre I care a lot about and major publications generally only take interest if it's a Koze/Jaar type figure, I'm allowed to speculate lol

Does not take away from how good this is as I've said multiple times

 

Every website is terrible

 

except sanctuary review dot com

 

Revolutionary twinkle daddies coverage

 

So good. Does anyone know what song he sampled in Cityfade?

Or in You Are Going to Love Me and Scream for that matter..
Edit, this is: Alright it's For The Love I Gave To You - Delfonics

 

I Never Dream is one of the year's best tracks. Reminds me a bit of Jaime xx's "Loud Places" when that big release happens towards the middle.

 

Continuing my post from April above...

I Never Dream is absolutely perfect for the summer weather. Pure euphoria.

 

I don't know where else to put it, but...

Timehop reminded me that 4 years ago tonight was the final Darkside show. That, along with their Coachella 2014 set, are two of the best, most unique, and enthralling sets of live music I've ever seen. Bumping this absurdity in their honor:

 

this may as well be called music for fuckports because this album fucks

 

A.A.L. (Nicolas Jaar) announces two new songs featuring FKA Twigs, Lydia Lunch

 

Oh hell yes
