oldkid: How far into the album are we? I like her voice. The electronic blast was a bit harsh in the last song. Maybe it's because I came in the middle. This song, though, is similar to Chillwave, which I've been listening to a lot... Okay, now we're in Wandering Star... So "Strangers" I didn't care for. But "It Could Be Sweet" was quite nice. Mellow and meditative. Wandering Star is also fine. I love the harmonica here.
Sandy: hi!
oldkid: Hi! I thought I was all alone. I guess you were, though
Sandy: Sorry, i was taking care of a baby
oldkid: That's a good thing
Sandy: have you heard this album before
oldkid: No. Never heard this artist. Electrobeat, with a strong hint of Chillwave
Sandy: i only knew her from the song Tom the Model, which i really love and then later I heard, Glory Box, which I love too... what is chillwave?
oldkid: Chillwave is a mellow form of electronic music, it is both dance and quiet
Sandy: im slow, typing one handed
oldkid: noprob
Sandy: yes, this music fits chillwave.
oldkid: I should give you a few Chillwave songs. What's weird about it is there are no hooks. But sometimes that's what I want.
Sandy: i could see needing songs like that on occasion... St. Martin had a last minute client so couldn't be here.
oldkid: Too bad. No one else, either, huh? I almost forgot
Sandy: The timing is tricky
oldkid: Have you been listening, or too baby focused? This song has a Bjork sound to it.
Sandy: it does! I've been both listening and taking care of the baby. both semi focused. I'm getting a general mood, but not the lyrics... this part makes me think of king louie, "I wanna be like you."
oldkid: When I first listen to an album, I usually take in the mood and sound and think about lyrics the next listen through
Sandy: that's a good policy
oldkid: This song makes sense for Manana's term "stoner music"
Sandy: haha. yep...
oldkid: This song is cool.(Glory Box)
Sandy: Yes, this is my favorite type of singing she does, both pleading and plaintive.. It sounds a lot like Tom The Model
oldkid: But the song "Roads", the line "how can it feel this wrong" is so haunting. Wow... Glory Box - Wow is this amazing. 40's torch song and 70's guitar and 10's electronica... Wait, don't turn it down! I'm not ready!
Sandy: did i turn it down?
oldkid: No. The producer did. He should stop that.
Sandy: haha... do you want to hear tom the model?
oldkid: Yeah
Sandy: okay...
oldkid: So much heart in the vocals
Sandy: i get choked up
oldkid: Yeah. Every pain she has ever felt pours out of her... I will certainly add some of her songs to my chillwave set.
