So glad you guys posted this. I've been beyond excited since they started dropping videos. that sole album is one of my all time favorites. I'm so ready to cry to a new album
Yup. Totally team Sleigh Bells on this one
and at breakneck speed!
Seeing them next week. so fucking psyched
Also your nickname is beautiful
Well they fixed the article so now wet both look like dumbasses. You should have left the embedded song though! It's really good!
uhh a (Feist-less) version of Lover's Spit is already on You Forgot It in People, so I think she was just using it as an expression. Good news regardless
Exactly. I especially like how they try to frame it as if everyone else is wrong by calling it "Blonde". Actual quote from one of their articles: "[...] like the fact that Apple Music calls the album Blonde instead of Blond."
But are those French fries in a French-ass McDonalds?
Me too. But the other site and some others are insisting on referring to it as "Blond" which is driving me nuts (and I actually wrote this comment because you called it Blond above and I felt triggered)
Can we all agree it's called Blonde and not Blond though? Frank writes as much in his long note, and my OCD is not dealing well with this "choose your own spelling" thing
They're in our heart
I don't know what 4 Knots is like, but I saw him at Primavera, and I'm sad to admit that his music didn't translate as well in that setting. It was still fun because I'm a big fan of the music, but the show wasn't that good. I'm sure that in a couple of years he'll really step up his live show so I'm totally OK with that, especially as long as he keeps making music like Teens of Denial
I think it's a mix of actual features, samples, and influences
blonde and blonder
Apparently there's THREE versions. The CD in the magazine has a version of Nikes with a rap verse in Japanese by KOHH. I need that bad
Gotta admit I'm really glad those pitched down vocals aren't in the album version
Their last two albums are great
So... 3 songs that aren't on the Apple version? or different mixes?
According to Twitter/Reddit the CD in the magazine has A WHOLE DIFFERENT TRACKLIST. WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
It's up for purchase on iTunes too
Ivy is great. Pink + White just started and it's beautiful. so crisp
It totally is. Didn't like it that much until now, but... it just works differently in context
It's 3AM here, tomorrow's a work day, and I need to sleep really bad. Why u do dis to me Frank :(
It's on iTunes I SHOULDN'T BE AWAKE I HAVE WORK TOMORROW AND I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN TWO DAYS WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
ALBUM IS OUT IT'S CALLED BLONDE AND IT'S BEING GIVEN AWAY INSIDE A MAGAZINE IN POP UP SHOPS. WHAT IS GOING ON
I tried to keep the negative to a minimum :) I'll probably go on about my thoughts on Endless and this song in a few days, when the inevitable Premature Evaluation gets posted and I can think it over a bit
I have no idea why I just used the word "encapsulation"
Any of you ever heard his weird side-project where he would write response songs to random pop hits? It wasn't too got, but it was a great encapsulation of his brand of #weird
It sounds amazing. I feel like an even bigger fool now
I like that techno track a lot, but I find it kind of funny that almost one fifth of the new hugely anticipated Frank Ocean album is actually another person's music
The visuals are great. Wish that instead of a b&w carpentry showcase, the actual "visual album" would look something like this. I'm not as sold on the song though. I like it better after a few listens, but still think that's an odd choice for a single. I don't want to ruin an exciting day though, so let's all hope we get a full album later tonight
oh shut the fuck up merboy
They're pretty fun live too. Caught them opening for Tame Impala and was very impressed
Don't know what these guys are up to now but Bang Bang Rock & Roll is a stone cold classic. I regret not seeing them when I had the chance so, so much
Though I did get to see Louis CK last night and get shitfaced-drunk TWICE since then. This weekend ain't half bad so far. Cheers peeps
God damn it. I go away from a computer for one fucking day and Frank Ocean drops an album. I should do this more often
Yeah, 22 is my favorite too, but both are phenomenal. Can't wait for this album
I like that other than that universally loathed album, "being on a roll" consists of recording two covers
