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.

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

That was awesome

fun presentation, though I don't love the actual song, probably the most Chairlift-sounding of her solo career so far

"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.

She always impresses.

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

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).

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.

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!
