[FIGHTCRIMEALLTHETIME]

my latest obsession
any fans:confused:

[perriwinkle]

lots here

i think he's over-rated personally

[Isaac Butt]

perriwinkle you ****ing idiot.

[perriwinkle]

suck my dick dude hes not a legend

[Isaac Butt]

what does that mean?

[Isaac Butt]

I mean he's no Do Make Say Think but he wrote some pretty ****ing unique and outstanding songs.

pretty sure he actually existed too, so yeah you're right.

[perriwinkle]

exactly what it says --- its how i've heard him hailed here

but i'm trying to find which album i heard of his and i can't find it on AMG ...
i might be mistaking his name for someone else's. the album i listened to was a bunch of acoustic tracks with delay on all the vocals / guitar the whole time. that's the same Arthur Russell right? i dont see it on AMG, but also his bio sounds prtty cool

[Isaac Butt]

that's the album they released posthumously. doesn't sound anything like the rest of his music.

song and video - undeniably awesome.

like some odd manchild of Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, and a synthesizer

[Isaac Butt]

i'm sayin'.

[perriwinkle]

his choice of arrangement is so crucial.... tabla, cello, brass, drum machine, pitch shift vocals...

but 4:07 is pretty lol .... "hraarraaarreehhaaeh..."

go to lala.com and listen to Calling Out of Context, you'll either hate it or play it nonstop.

[perriwinkle]

if its smooth and interesting and catchy like this and "you can make me feel bad" which i just listened to, ill probably love it. i can tell itll be a very interesting listen, with styles all over the place

ill just download it at some point, and/or world of echo

[Pwntendo]
