QN5 Music

Have you guys been listening to Tori Amos album “Abnormally Attracted to Sin”? I’m really digging that one alot! I bought it in New York after listening to it for free on the plane. It’s a rather beautiful album. Incredible lrycism and an amazing voice, with a chilling soundscape bringing it all together. My favorite tracks are ‘Flavor’, ‘Curtain Call’ & ‘That Guy’!

Haven’t looked into the new christmas album, I’ll do so at some point though!

i know tone’s heard of Emily Haines already. she’s the lead singer for indieish band Metric but her solo stuff is good if you like softer stuff. also her lyrics can be fucking piercing.

another artist i found recently is Bat For Lashes. pretty unique voice comes from being pakistani-born but British. very sombre music

Florence + the Machine is sort of similar but more upbeat rather than sombre.

QN5 said:Sweet! Glad to hear you’re getting into Tori. My fav Tori Albums in order:

1. Under The Pink (1994)

Little Earthquakes is my all time Favorite! “Girl” being the best track by Tori, followed by “Cloud On My Tongue”. Have you seen her perform these live? Phenomenal!!!

I bought it in stores; I’ve definitely heard better from her imho.

I didn’t really give the holiday record a shot, but do tell us how you it is when you get a chance to listen.

Kid Beyond is an amazing musician.  People see him and think “oh, another beatboxers…meh” but until you watch him layer a song vocally and then sing over it…you don’t know what you’re missing.  Youtube him.

^^ see DubFX, he is one talented dude.

Ok here’s one -

No More Stories Are Told Today I’m Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories the World Is Grey I’m Tired Let’s Wash Away - Mew

Inspired by this thread a went on a whim and bought this album with little to go on. I’ve had this album for a week and its just absolutely incredible. Such beautiful lyrics matched with incredible production. It’s a unique standout in every sense; whether from the high-pitched, airy singing or the harmonic, sensational and constantly changing soundscape which is presented.
After hearing this album I’m an automatic fan! Can anyone suggest any other great Mew albums? I need to be put on!

Best tracks are: ‘Introducing Palace Players’, ‘Repeaterbeater’, ‘Cartoons and Macramé’ ‘Wounds’, ‘Vaccine’ and my new favorite ‘Tricks of the Trade!’

Thanks Tone, I gave ‘And The Glass Handed Kites’ a preview and it certainly seems like my kind of taste. ‘Special’ & ‘Apocalypso’ are my hit. Will look into ‘Frengers’ soon.

Thanks again!
