Synthesizer Patel Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 holy shit i think i might have done a complete 180 on her with this record... her voice is much more Billie Holiday than Lisa Simpson this time around, and the music is equally as gorgeous... bit worried about the length of some of these songs (17 minutes!!!!) but through track 1, so far so good Brilliant stuff! I didn't know Jim O'Rourke was mixing this. Only on track 1, but I'm very pleased so far (but I am one of the people that actually loved her first album, and her voice).

solace Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 her voice is a lot less baby-ish and doesn't crack nearly as much (although i still cringe a few times on this record when it does, especially towards the end of the last track) i'm super SUPER anal about vocals, so i'm pretty shocked i love this new one so much, but the previous one, while the music was gorgeous, i just couldn't get over a lot of her crackly and cooing voice. her voice actually sounds rather pretty on this new one at times even. but yeah, the production is impeccable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 I wish my home PC was broken I want to listen to it! NP: Various tracks from The Resistance (http://www.deadmedia.co.uk/) the best band to come out of Cambridge since Floyd... great band and seeing them tomorrow night.

Synthesizer Patel Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I don't think her voice sounds too much different myself, maybe slightly smoother around the edges, but I think the lush production makes her sound a bit more palateable - I don't know, it's hard to say really because I never found her voice too weird in the first place. They are bloody long songs though, aren't they! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rghammo Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 The phrase 'shacking up' is sorely underused in our society. My wife however is fond of saying shackalacking, which I find to be a little corny. The word, not the act. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
