She's flipping between her "head voice" and her "chest voice", which is exactly yodelling, she's just trained her head voice to be low-enough to be in the same range as her chest voice. It's not much different from what Dolores was doing in The Cranberries. It's pretty neat

My wife has some musical theater training and this is exactly the reference point she used — "It's like in 'Zombie.'" (She also made the "head voice"/"chest voice" distinction.)

Do we have an existing thread for discussion of head voice, chest voice, vibrato, etc?

This maybe: Is there a word for the opposite of falsetto?

The opposite of falsetto is when you sing through your butt, I call it fartsetto

3 songs live on KEXP. Such a good performer.

Her range as a singer has expanded dramatically since the Chairlift days

I fuckin' love this album.

"Bunny is a Rider" is ace.

i forgot she was on it actually. I'm still not as hot on this album as I was on Pang but it's pretty good.

Tiny Desk Concertt NPR performance. Great control of her voice.

Wow, gotta say this is the most I've ever "gotten" CP, one of those times where the stripped down format really works.
The drummer is great, I knew him from his viral drum & bass instagram vids, and I'd love to know if he got the gig through that or if he's a working drummer who also happens to be big on social media.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Tuesday, 10 October 2023 15:14 (eight months ago) link
Yeah amazing drummer and the stripped down setting makes her voice even more impressive.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 10 October 2023 15:24 (eight months ago) link
yeah it really highlights just how incredible her voice is. it makes me want to hear her do a more acoustic or orchestral album
i also really like the keyboard making acoustic guitar sounds alongside the actual acoustic guitars, great combo

That gave me some early Dead Can Dance vibes

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 18 October 2023 12:58 (eight months ago) link
fun presentation, though I don't love the actual song, probably the most Chairlift-sounding of her solo career so far
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Wednesday, 18 October 2023 17:29 (eight months ago) link
"Dang" is fun, so much ear candy in it

They reran that Colbert performance from last week in an otherwise new episode this week, so strong the buzz.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 27 October 2023 18:29 (seven months ago) link
she was fantastic live and played extra songs for the last show of the tour including an unplanned second "so hot"
i only wish she'd thrown in some chairlift songs too because they had some classics too

gorgeous

the original was probably my favorite song on Desire, and this is a step up from that
― Vinnie, Thursday, 8 February 2024 20:22 (four months ago) link
"hopedrunk everasking" is incredible
― butch wig (diamonddave85), Friday, 16 February 2024 17:01 (four months ago) link
didn't realize people thought it was filler. i got stuck repeating that one on my first listen through of the album. if that's filler, i can't wait for the rest of the songs to open up with further listens
― butch wig (diamonddave85), Friday, 16 February 2024 17:06 (four months ago) link
I would have guessed "Spring Is Coming With a Strawberry in the Mouth" was an original song, but instead it's a cover and a surprisingly faithful one. glad she shone some light on that song, I like her version and the original
― Vinnie, Sunday, 10 March 2024 21:04 (three months ago) link
yeah I'd never heard that song either, original is so good (so is her cover).
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Sunday, 10 March 2024 21:22 (three months ago) link
Oh the original is great! Nice discovery!
Also it seems the original was produced by Bono which is… unexpected.

Nice, got into the Operating Theatre song when it got a reissue last year - cool to hear this version.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 11 March 2024 22:18 (three months ago) link
omg immense tune. Hadn't heard of it.
this page says
the Mother Records label. Established by U2 in 1984 and initially intended to launch Irish bands, many of the acts – including this one – were subsequently unhappy about the label’s haphazard approach to releases and lack of promotion. The record was released as a die cut 7 inch with the two main tracks and a 12 inch EP with additional tracks – ‘Part of My Make-Up’ / ‘Atlantean’ / ‘Satanasa’. The Mother experience was for Doyle and the rest of the group a frustrating one with no promotional plan and no tour. After that Operating Theatre as a quasi pop project ‘just kind of fizzled out’ says Doyle.”
fuck you bono!
