Zola Jesus - Okovi

Good. Better than Conatus. Maybe not as good as Stridulum II?

Kirin J. Callinan - Bravado

I get what he was going for on this. Overwrought, overproduced pop music with wry, ironic Jarvis-Cocker lyrics--I mean he's literally pissing on himself in the album artwork. LITERALLY taking the piss.

But.

It's just musically not my thing.

Alex Cameron - Forced Witness

Another ironic pop album. Kind of fun. Probably the most uses of the word "pussy" I've ever heard in a single sitting.

Molly Burch - Please Be Mine

If Beach House wrote an indie-folk / alt-country album. Pleasant throughout, slightly dull, but still nice.

Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps

Been listening to this a lot. Beautiful singing and songwriting here, a bit like Kathleen Edwards, but without the country influences. Georgia is an amazing song. Pairs well with Brooke Waggoner's Sweven.

Fever Ray - Plunge

Eh. Karin Dreijer's best work is with the Knife. Not into this at all. Isn't awful, but is still kind of a mess.

EMA - Exile in the Outer Ring

Solid noise pop.

Amenra - Mass I: Prayer I-VI

The only thing this has going for it is that it's so short.

Maybe you should listen to an actual 2017 pop album and not an obnoxious attempt at pretending to be above the concept.

I was wondering about that Phoebe Bridgers album. Almost looks like the album cover for Greatest Hits of Islam, Volume One, doesn't it? Like Edwards, eh? May give that a shot then, Ped. Thanks.

Good to revisit this again. Sounding as gloriously radiant and believe-it-or-not,
nuanced (and at such a young age) as it did about 25 years ago.
Nice Michel Camilo-like playing from the pianist. Thanks for the reminder.
