genuinely the weirdest video i've watched this week.

What a great track. Firstly, what an incredibly catchy chorus. Disturbingly so, for how ludicrous this track is. It intersects the line between disco and rock almost perfectly, channeling both a lot of the indie rock trends (that have resulted in indie rock gravitating towards funk and R&B rather than classic rock's old guard) and a lot of j-pop's theatricality (or the music of the big Japanese video game composers). For the former, the layered harmonies (as HAIM have proved, fusing 70s rock with 90s girl-group harmony), for the latter, you only have to look at those ludicrous modulations and chord progressions and the horns. Not surprised that this is an anime opening at all. Love it.
 

how is that his hair that's so silly
 
Essentially everything I said about the other Bradio track applies here. What this track sacrifices in sheer bombast gains in a better sense of streamlined structure. The horns take a backseat for heavier guitar, what I'd consider a slightly better groove, and a bit of edge too. Instrumental break is super cool in this track.

one more .3.

Bjorky? You mean trip hop.

Anyway, thoughts on all 3 era of DGD.

Johnny Craig's era

Kurt Travis' era

Tillian Pearson's era


Bjork has a lot more influences than just Trip-hop

also Kurt Travis era is best DGD, since weve got DGD going on may as well post Hail the Sun and Stolas

Influences doesn't define genre. Hardcore band incorporated jazz or have jazz influences doesn't mean they're a jazz band now.


I mean, while I'm referring specifically to her trip-hop output in the earlier post, I can only name two Bjork albums that are trip-hop focused. All of her other recent stuff has essentially few traces.

im aware but this is Bjork, shes way more difficult to pin-point than a hardcore band with jazz elements thrown in
