Alien Observer probably.
Also, I really like this new direction she's taking

>>70040586
Alien Observer will always be my #1. But Holding from Ruins is so fucking good. Maybe better than all the songs on Alien Observer

I seriously hope people on heredon't circlejerk her like grimes or kpop bands.

Annie Clark is pretty great, don't you think? I like her voice and arrangements. Her lyrics are also nice.
What's your favorite St. Vincent song? Mine would be either Marry Me or Black Rainbow.

>2014: "I still remember going to the CD World and buying The Sensual World when I was sixteen. And the cover, there’s a rose in front of her mouth that has bloomed, she’s got big wide eyes. And I remember, you know, putting it in the shitty car stereo on the way home, and you know, my life was forever changed.”

>2007: "And I also— this may sound really silly— but I just discovered Kate Bush, probably six months ago, and I think she’s so great. I know I’m very late to the party here [laughs], I know this is old news, but I got a Kate Bush record, and I forget— I think “The Dreaming” is on it, though I’m spacing on the name of the record.”

spent ~170 on a preorder for the wonder years 'the greatest generation'. It came with the LP, 5 7", a crewneck, two shirts, and a poster i believe.

Alright, /mu/. I like Animal Collective, but every time I listen to them, I just get waves of white guilt. I know it's dumb of me, in everyday life I'm actually a bit of an annoying redpill, but their music always seems so "first world problem" to me. I think it's a necessary niche, and we all have that sensitive side that just wants a hug and a little emotional indulgence, but I think it keeps them from being truly great. Thoughts?

listen to something more attuned to your own sensibilities instead of trying to bend something
else to them

>>70040213
I'm not trying to change them, but to me, they'll always be for a very specific emotional niche. Just curious what others think.
>>
>>70040056
Well what else are they gonna talk about but first world problems? They're a bunch of privileged white guys, you think they're going to write about being oppressed or about gang violence? No, they're going to write songs about psychedelia, spirituality, the pains of growing up, mental health, ie. the problems that their privilege allows them to address.
Once the Third World Problems are taken care of, First World Problems are still gonna be problems.

lmao, nice job taking your trip off
please be somewhat musically literate before you decide to put it back on, thanks
Rappers and those involved in hiphop are not actually musicians, but are entertainers.
A musician is defined as someone who either plays a musical instrument, or is musically talented. A rapper does not play an instrument, and he is not musically talented.
The rapper does not use his voice as an instrument, as the voice is not an instrument (an instrument has many definitions, but each of them imply that an actual physical object or thing is being spoken of, eg it is manmade and something disctinct, not part of the body)
A rapper cannot be musically talented if he does not play an instrument then.
A rapper cannot be a poet, as the definition of a poet is one who writes beautifully, imaginatively, and his writing indicates elevated thoughts. A rapper does not write anything beautiful or that is indicative of elevated thoughts, however it cannot be denied they have imagination (they are original)
Hiphop, rap, r&b: are they cool to play at your house party or the club? Hell yeah it is.
However, if you are seeking to truly learn about music and understand it, you cannot call a cow a duck. How can someone who does not play an instrument, be referred to as a musician, the definition of which is one who plays a musical instrument? It simply isn't possible. Therefore, rappers and hiphop artists are entertainers, and damn good ones at that, but they still are not true musicians.

that depends on your own perception of beauty and 'elevated thoughts'
