The only other ILM thread about Keren Ann is kind of dismissive from the get go, so I thought I'd start a new one on account of having just heard her new single (which has apparently been kicking around since last December) and in case anyone wants to talk about the album that's due, 101.
Here's the video for "My Name Is Trouble"

haha what about this classic thread title? New French Underwear! I Mean New Folk Underground! I Mean New Makeout Music For The Bedhead Set AND Their White Wine Sipping Liberal Parents! I Mean...Oh, Keren Ann, You've Got Me All Bugaboo!
― some dude, Thursday, 10 February 2011 04:02 (fourteen years ago)
that is just awful
― hey boys, suppers on me, our video just went bacterial (Hurting 2), Thursday, 10 February 2011 04:03 (fourteen years ago)
o noes! I overlooked that one (probably because "Keren Ann" didn't show up until the very end of it).
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 10 February 2011 04:04 (fourteen years ago)
Why is that awful, Hurting? And I assume you're talking about the song/video.
lol, <3 skot
― goole, Thursday, 10 February 2011 04:05 (fourteen years ago)
haha no I meant the thread title, which is surprising given the author

strange that she has any thread on ilx, let alone 3 now. i thought the self-titled in 2007 was pretty, but not particularly memorable. will check out the new one but not expecting lots
― Mordy, Thursday, 10 February 2011 04:14 (fourteen years ago)
The s/t was definitely the best of her releases to date, but I like the cut of "My Name Is Trouble"'s jib.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 10 February 2011 04:15 (fourteen years ago)
I have a lot of time for this woman, I know "Nolita" isn't a popular choice but its perfect music for a hungover rainy Sunday.

i like the new album. part of me kind of liked being the only person who cared about her on ilm since 2004.
― scott seward, Friday, 11 February 2011 05:13 (fourteen years ago)
i liked 'not going anywhere' but after that i kind of lost track (and time for that sort of thing).
― j., Friday, 11 February 2011 05:35 (fourteen years ago)
love the new single, is the rest of the album in a similar vein?
― zappi, Saturday, 12 February 2011 11:48 (fourteen years ago)
I haven't checked in with her since Nolita... she is way different now!
― scott pgwp (pgwp), Saturday, 12 February 2011 15:28 (fourteen years ago)
the new album is similar to her last album. i'm such a big fan of her production style. she gives digital sound a good name.
― scott seward, Saturday, 12 February 2011 16:13 (fourteen years ago)
If Keren Ann looked like pre-stomach-stapled Carnie Wilson, would anyone give a shit about her music?
― john. a resident of chicago., Saturday, 12 February 2011 16:23 (fourteen years ago)
more like ButtHurting 2 IMO

my thread with the dumb title was first and now i feel like i'm cheating on it. i must leave you now.
― scott seward, Saturday, 12 February 2011 16:26 (fourteen years ago)
i just like her. i don't really have anything good to say about her.

New album coming this year!
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 02:31 (ten years ago)
The last one felt kinda slight/insubstantial to me but I'll always give her a chance.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 02:41 (ten years ago)
I still love Not Going Anywhere. I only know a few other albums (both French and English lang), which are nice but not remarkable.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 03:07 (ten years ago)
the title track to Nolita is an all-timer.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 03:09 (ten years ago)
Cate LeBon is making the music I wish Keren Ann had made after Nolita.
― Brio2, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 13:56 (ten years ago)
or she did on Mug Museum anyway
― Brio2, Wednesday, 8 April 2015 14:02 (ten years ago)
Yeah, but Keren Ann, she wants to rock.

Incidentally I saw her on the tour for the self-titled and her band had a killer guitar player.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 April 2015 18:01 (ten years ago)
Huh, she released a new one in March. Listening now, it's nice and gentle stuff, sung in French. Would be nice Sunday morning music.

Take it over to Je déteste tout.

Keren Ann

'lay your head down' is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard i think. the vox at the end are haunting. i haven't listened to anything else by her.
― meaulnes, Friday, 19 July 2019 16:20 (six years ago)
That's my favorite as well.
