February 13, 201510 yr It finally leaked to all of us not-blessed-with-Spotify-mortals and I cannot wait to listen goddamnit. Too many anticipated leaks these last few days!
February 13, 201510 yr Author this entire album is fucking sublime. the way darlings/accelerate/fade away segue into one and other! 'kamikaze' is incredible. probably the best album i've listened to in several years and SO unexpected. 'delirious' is a future classic in waiting. incredible. the way her voice emotes, it brings me almost to tears. where has she come from all of a sudden to produce something of THIS calibre?!
February 16, 201510 yr Incredible album! Constrast between the songs, the complex layering *.* The first half is utterly incredible and literally flaw-free.
February 16, 201510 yr I wish Darlings was a bit longer because it builds up and then ends almost unexpectedly leaving that weird feeling of incompletion. I have not seen the writing credits for this album but it's so obvious Röyksopp produced like half of this album, 'Accelerate' especially. I find it surprising I love that one so much because I don't think the melody is that strong but the whole thing is just really catchy for some reason. 'Darlings', 'Accelerate', 'Fade Away', 'Kamikaze' are the early highlights. 'Delirious' is rapidly growing on me as well. Even though it's really good, 'Memorial' would be better without the ~3 minutes of piano banging in the middle. Although I am loving the bridge between that and the last part.
February 16, 201510 yr This album is absolutely astonishing. I've been obsessed with 'Slowly' today, the "way you hold me" bits make me shiver. Her voice is just so glorious. Seriously gutted I already have a gig on the same day and now she's sold out - she was stunning last time but hearing these songs live would be a real treat.
February 16, 201510 yr Love love love this. Listened to it 5 times over today and intend to do the same tomorrow.
February 17, 201510 yr Love love love this. Listened to it 5 times over today and intend to do the same tomorrow. omg same. Marina, Bjork and this arriving at pretty much the same time. Sufjan getting here in a few weeks too. 1.5 months of 2015 are already surpassing the entire 2014 in albums' quality. *.* We only need Kanye's (hopefully) epic new album and Frank Ocean and Grimes' long-awaited follow-ups and we're set.
February 17, 201510 yr Memorial *.* THAT is how to do a 10 minute song. Delirious and Darlings are amazing too.
February 23, 201510 yr plug.dj seems to have made many more fans of this :kink: Quite. Delirious is fantastic, so melodious. I'm glad it got me past those first few listens of it into the glorious part of loving it to pieces.
May 1, 201510 yr Only familiar with 'Delirious' ( :wub: ) and 'Fade Away' so far, but amazing! Must hear this rest. (Also kind of have Jake to thank for this discovery)

January 20, 20205 yr Sorry for bumping this old af thread but I decided to revisit this album today and it's still so f***ing incredible I could CRY. :cry: YES! It's fantastic. As is "Music For People In Trouble". I still give both spot plays regularly. Cannot wait for a new album. She's just released a soundtrack EP actually, called "Self Portrait Original Soundtrack - EP".
