I need to check this out, "1,618" from a year or two back might be the best thing Spotify has ever algorithmically nudged at me.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 22 February 2019 15:09 (five years ago) link
Is her first EP the Wwwater EP or is it under her own name? Caught the end of Wwwater’s set supporting You g Fathers last year, sounded interesting.
― michaellambert, Friday, 22 February 2019 18:47 (five years ago) link
There's one under her own name thats self-titled. 1,618 is on that.

Love this one. Patenipat, Cursed and Cussed and Okashi are my favorites of this one. I think I like the past EP better but I don’t think there’s a song on these 2 eps that I dislike.

It is my duty to point out to all of you even remotely interested in Charlotte Adigéry that since a couple of weeks she's got her own weekly, two hour radioshow at Belgian StuBru. And my, does it bang! Her track selection is crazy good imo. Best thing is, she collects all the tunes she plays in this spotify playlist, updated weekly after the new show.

Yeah, she's brilliant, and a great companion as a dj. Probably the only linear radio time slot I follow religiously rn, every Sunday eve, she's the best.

Dangerously so - since hearing it in the top 77 tracks playlist I’ve found myself singing it to myself. Out of context, randomly singing ‘go back to the country where you come from’ and nothing else is a problem waiting to happen. Damn catchy political bangers.

― willem, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 11:06 (two years ago) link
this really holds up to a second listen, incredibly strong album. the lyrical games it plays are both straightforwardly witty and headspinningly complex; it's rare and great to see this sort of intelligence applied to, essentially, techno bangers. but then again the bangers themselves aren't so simple either; they're playful, tuneful and the production and structures are kept constantly interesting and fresh. wheels are not allowed to spin.
this'd make for a great ilm aoty, if That Lot decide to votesplit themselves

As I mentioned to the friend who urged me to hear it, it does a very, very savvy and charming way of expressing sentiments that pop music usually is too didactic when it wants to make the same points.

live in Glasgow yesterday it felt like superstardom is in the post. It was in the top 5 wildest audience resctions I've ever seen, so much so that she was rendered speechless a couple of times by how loud the crowd were. Such a great performer (Bolis too).
― stirmonster, Monday, 8 May 2023 19:17 (one year ago) link
well-deserved - it was a fantastic show. I was concerned that I would be disappointed after seeing them in a tiny venue last year when they killed it and was wondering if they would manage to bring that energy to a massive festival tent but they really knocked it out of the park. Two of my pals had never heard them before and came away raving about how great it was. stirmonster the whole weekend was brilliant actually :)
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 07:53 (one year ago) link
also not to objectify anyone in a way but I spotted Bolis in the crowd dancing later on and he really is just an incredibly handsome man, they both just ooze star quality and charisma

Saw Adigery and Pupul live the other night - really excellent. They're great and charismatic performers of course, but what really stood out was how propulsive and thumpy the arrangements were over big speakers in a live setting. The sense of dynamics, especially in the lead-in to what were effectively drops, was really kinetic. The vibe of the way the songs would move in between pop songs and dance tracks reminded me unexpectedly of the last two The Knife albums (not a point of comparison I would have thought of previously).
