With John Parish producing again. Single sounds good!

Is it Parish doing the background vocals?

Was just checking on any vocal credits on "Weight of the Planets" and not seeing any, guessing that's him as well...

Album includes Sleaford Mods' Jason Williamson (according to Norman Records, so could be invented).

xp Parish, H. Hawkline and Gwion Llewelyn are all credited with vocals on "Weight of the Planets" if that helps.

Really loving this. So many great hooks, and I find her vocal delivery fascinating. I've also had this line rattling in my head all week:
Of all the ways to eat a cake This one surely takes the knife

Definitely one to spend time with. Closing track "Leathery Whip" (duet with Jason Williamson from Sleafod Mods) has a great Tall Dwarfs-y vibe.

i like this album a lot. feels of a piece with the new cate le bon, though maybe a bit more pastoral

I'm enjoying it too, although tbh it's not as strong as Designer or Party. Also had to excise 'Passion Babe' from the tracklist, as my partner can't stand the voice she uses on it or the repetition.

My wife had the same reaction to that song. So far I find the first half of this album really strong, and then I completely lose track of the second half. I don't know if it's me or the album but I've been driven to distraction every single time I've played it.

lovely video for 'tick tock'
gotta say i was initially disappointed by the album, but it still has that thing of being odd and off-putting in some ways yet having bits that pull me back and make me wanna figure out why i'm intrigued. i really enjoy that i find it hard to pinpoint what exactly she's doing so much of the time
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 4 May 2022 16:16 (two years ago) link
yet it never really feels forced or ~random~, there's a subtly and ease to her sound despite the weirdness

Her new album just came up as a recommendation on Apple Music. I thought, "Hmm, wonder if there is a thread about her on ILX." I'm digging it so far.

Did anyone read any interesting reviews of this? It's not the most immediate album but, yeah, like karl...arlk...rlka...lkar says there's something intriguing.
― djh, Saturday, 18 June 2022 16:01 (two years ago) link
i haven't read any interesting reviews, but i did see her in Atlanta last week and she was great. her band is super tight, her stage presence is as odd and entrancing as her music, and the songs from the new album, which comprised most of the set, sounded fantastic live. 'passion babe' in particular clicked live in a way it hadn't for me in home listening
