Has her Studio Brussels show finished? The playlist's not been updated for a few weeks now

Yeah, seems like the last one was March 28, according to www.stubru.be. Too bad, I was really enjoying catching up with those every Monday.

Oh weird they’re now credited as Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul. Always thought of them as a duo anyways…

yeah Charlotte if you're reading, sorry about that, I stand by that opinion but it's not like anything you've done has been less than exceptional, love you x

They really need to come up with a punchy band name because "Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul" just doesn't roll off the tongue.

Another banger obv (although Thank You was a slightly less successful subtweet-the-critics effort than, say, Algiers' Can The Sub Bass Speak) (this criticism may ofc be included in Thank You 2 lol)

love them, so excited for this
― winters (josh), Thursday, 4 November 2021 18:48 (two years ago) link
I agree that "Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul" is way too long. Adigéry + Pupul would have been better.
Pupéry isn't a terrible suggestion tbh.

Every record we release on Deewee is special to us because they’re born out of our genuine friendships with the artists but we have to admit we feel a little extra pride to see Charlotte & Bolis, two individual great talents and human beings - whom we’ve had the pleasure to introduce to each other literally within the walls of our studio - grow into this powerful duo and see their debut album TOPICAL DANCER which we made with them over the course of the last few years, come out today

As noted in the 77, I think these guys are some of the most vital and enjoyable artists making pop music right now
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 March 2022 15:45 (two years ago) link
Their songs are outrageously, baldly political protest music with intelligent and clever lyrics and yet they’re also all bangers. The degree of difficulty there is super high.
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Friday, 4 March 2022 15:50 (two years ago) link
I find the humour and personality of this does so much more for me than the straightforward didacticism of eg Sault

I have had this on repeat, loving the punchy sparse production and as mentioned earlier, there are some great witty lyrics in there. Favourite album of the year so far.

"Blenda" is an ear worm, eh?
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 4 March 2022 16:26 (two years ago) link
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.

Loved this on first listen, the singles make much more sense in the context of the album. This is super stylish and cynical, could be the soundtrack to some high fashion runway.

just realized "Bear With Me" isn't on here.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/mar/08/charlotte-adigery-and-bolis-pupul-interview?CMP=twt_a-music_b-gdnmusicNice interview. Didn't know that Pupul was Kamagurka's son! (a factoid probably lost on people outside of Belgium/The Netherlands)
― 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

Give me a vinyl version that includes the eps and I’ll pay double without thinking it.
