Rhouses is just a massive fucking belter.

On paper she probably represents everything I would avoid like the plague. This played while I was watching music videos with my daughter and instinct told me to hit “next”, but damn, that beat dropped on Oblivion and it was “whoah”, sick break down half way through as well. Watched some live performances and was genuinely impressed by how tight she was. For someone associated with Elon Musk, was pleasantly surprised how she doesn’t take herself seriously… enjoyed her interviews.

hugopal I should commit to the albums end to end? Worth the time? Seems big “singles” driven, with the rest of the stuff being pretty weird and ‘avantgarde’.

      Must be my hearing but I can’t make out a word of what she’s singing.

      rhouses sorry to hijack this shite thread but what the fucks going on with India and state sponsored assassinations?

          Halfaxa and Visions - yes.

          Visions was more big “singles” driven but there’s still other good stuff on there. Whereas Halfaxa is for me her best and most cohesive album, which is overall more vibe-y and atmospheric and where even the most avantgarde stuff is enjoyable and works in tandem with everything else.

              bosstrabs Of recent tracks, though, I have heard this on a proper system (Dada in Beijing) and it was magnificent…

              It’s well produced but I think the song wanders in to being annoying.

              bosstrabs Was listening to this track when it first came out. Regrettably, I missed her in Hong Kong by just a few days, if I had been there at the time I would have seen her on that tour.

              That’s a shame - I’m presuming it’s the same tour where the footage from this video was taken from (seems like it was made in March 2013 and some of it is HK)?

              Her last truly great song imo.

              I got to see her in Berlin as part of her Art Angels tour and it was pretty good.

                    rhouses I think that’s Singapore.

                    It was filmed across various parts of her Asian tour that year, for instance Shanghai is also clearly visible in the video.

                      alistair lol. It’s all pretty new to me, don’t really have any context. But first, maybe you can answer what’s up with England and centuries of state sponsored genocide, rape and looting?

                          How bad were the Christians in Manipur treated.

                            rhouses I think that’s Singapore.

                            @bosstrabs

                            Further to my comment above, some of it is definitely filmed in HK - Carnarvon Plaza at 2:25 in the vid is in HK.

                                Most of the violence occurred between two tribal factions, what has Christianity got to do with it?

                                Very much part of India, but the North East functions very differently from the rest of the country, completely different culture.
