April 3, 20223 yr New single Purple Jelly Disc out now and track 1 on Altar. Huge, huge tune that has two distinct styles. The first half has a somewhat kooky vibe before turning into pure dance euphoria in the second half. (Flashing lights warning) aYw_E9KfMg0 I'm obsessed. 10/10 for both singles so far :wub:
April 4, 20223 yr She has been on strong form this year, I love how all of her songs are structured - hopefully a good album incoming. Hype!
April 18, 20223 yr Both songs are SOTY contenders for me. Nobody is doing it like her at the moment. Queen!!
May 7, 20223 yr She's done an interview and photoshoot for Phoenix magazine recently where they describe the sound of each track: Channels Short prelude, perfect for testing out your favourite earphones. Pigeon Barron Glitchy and atmospheric, it slowly builds the euphoria and then drops into weird bassy sections that will be a lot of fun to dance to. Captures the infinite optimism of dance music. Bodies of Water Low fi, downtempo, dark and introspective. Human Sound Features close friend, the spoken word poet and trans-visibility activist Kai Isaiah Jamal. Louder Always Better Industrial techno, broken beats and drum and bass. Feels like you just stumbled into a rave tent. Biggest Mood Ever featuring Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip Shimmers with synths, strings, and a military drum beat. AM Raucous and upbeat, full of glitchy tempo changes. Segues into: PM Intelligent techno, melodic, builds to another massive drop. I’ve Been Thinking A Lot Lately Takes the energy to moody downtempo electro. Purple Jelly Disc feat. Obi Franky A glorious seven minutes of hardcore meets acid house meets something euphoric and pop-inflected. Check out the trippy visuals for the official by The Horrors’ Tom Furse. Baby We’re Ascending Transcendent, featuring Teneil’s vocals, bass heavy yet joyful. Orca Chopped up beats, random samples, feels like an end of the night kind of track. Expansive whale sounds. Gloriously weird. Tardigrade Showcases Throssell’s musicality with a slice of pop electronica.
May 24, 20223 yr Human Sound out now: 0zTBW9hugJs 3 days to go to the album release! Loud and Quiet gave it a 8/10 https://www.loudandquiet.com/reviews/haai-b...were-ascending/
May 26, 20223 yr Some more reviews coming in: AllMusic 4/5 NME - 4/5 Clash - 6/10 Clash can take a hike :) AllMusic gets it: "Her music constantly feels like it's in a state of elevation, and even when she experiments with fragmented sound design and abstract textures, the tracks always lock into a steady propulsion and head for a blissful, enlightened state, re-creating the rush of tuning into an amazing pirate radio broadcast or finding euphoria at a generator-powered rave deep in the woods. "
May 26, 20223 yr Really excited for this, it’s shaping up to be fantastic with every song released so far being a winner.
May 28, 20223 yr I absolutely adore this on first couple of listens, one of those albums that sounds amazing to travel with on your headphones
June 2, 20223 yr ALBUM OF THE YEAR You know what, it may just be! Love the mix up of styles and tempos, reminds me of the sorts of structures the Chems used to go for in the 90s. Only Bicep rivals this for me in recent years
