Let's All Laugh at Pitchfork

[VinylGuy]

Dehd
Flower of Devotion
Recording in a studio, the Chicago DIY trio sound newly airy and lush, but no less direct and sincere. Their confidence in their concision is the best part.

Wow, in an actual recording studio?!

Im sure that guy is 17 years old.

[chewm]

pitchfork is meh but this thread is kinda worse

[tragabigzanda]

Wow

Ana Roxanne
Because of a Flower

The California ambient musician’s debut LP pulls from new age, dream pop, Medieval choral music, and Hindustani singing for a hypnotic and tender meditation on gender, identity, and self-love.

[tragabigzanda]

The album sounds quite nice, for the record

[Jorge]

Haha I saw this on twitter and wondered if you would take issue with it

[tragabigzanda]

It’s so uber-specific I couldn’t help but laugh. After a cursory listen, I think “IDM meets New Age” would be just fine. But my hat’s off to the reviewer for their contextual flex.

[Jorge]

Probably just regurgitating the PR copy anyway

seeing this quote makes me feel less bad about there still being 70 MM people out there who will vote for trump

I can write for Pitchfork:

The CleanUp
Life Without Sleep

The CleanUp break out with their sophomore effort that is equal parts horse gallop, midwestern breeze, and cotton field, all set to a charcuterie of boilerplate 70s beats.

Lol and now here’s a real one:

Various Artists
Witch Egg
John Dwyer leads an instrumental jazz-garage chimera that’s far-out enough to escape predictability and ghoulish enough to go bump in the night.

[ghost]

"Slimelife Shawty and his crew should challenge Pooh Shiesty to a money spread battle" is a sentence I read there this morning.

[tragabigzanda]

Please calm down.

Sarah Mary Chadwick
Me and Ennui Are Friends, Baby
The unflinching and brutal new record from the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter is so direct that it demands your full attention for every single second.

I wonder if they actually listened to the records for the re-scoring.

Interpol: Turn on the Bright Lights (2002)
9.5 → 7.0

They can fuck right off. That album is a goddamn masterpiece.

I am similarly upset about the hit to Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty

Fuck Pitchfork. All my homies hate Pitchfork.

Pitchfork, or The Onion?

That’s why I started mixing my stuff. I think this needs to be challenged in the recording industry—these words like “master.” I had a problem where I’m mixing my shit, and then for it to be approved for your ears, I’ve got to have this white boy “master.” When I said it out loud, I was like, “That don’t fit well in my spirit.”
