Carly Rae Jepsen Thread

Your Western Wind is my Beach House.

There seems to be a groundswell of 'this is her second best album'. I heard a leaked demo of the opening track ages ago and thought it was a bit of mess but supposedly it's the only weak track on there.

Aww I love Beach House. It’s funny but also I have friends doing Tinder at 40 and the stories are true. It’s awful out there.

 

[Disco P]

In Beach House's defense it does go off live.

 

[Nathan]

Aww I love Beach House.

Hard same. Probably my second favorite track on that album after the title track.

I thought Western Wind was a weak choice for a first single but it grew on me. Beach House slaps.

I pre-ordered Loveliest Time on iTunes and what’s nice is that the Shy Boy single that I already bought is included. Unlike when Gorillaz put out Song Machine none of the singles were part of buying the whole album.

I’m obviously going to have to start a Justice 4 Bad Thing Twice campaign.

I enjoy that one, and Joshua Tree. And fuck, Go Find Yourself or Whatever. Bout to tag Jerm in here to rank album tracks.

Oooh that’s a good one too

Any good examples of CRJ going (at least relatively) weird? I really dug her collab with Charli XCX:

This Dev Hynes joint from a while back?

This Dev Hynes joint from a while back?

Yeah that qualifies. I really like his work and somehow missed this.

 

[OceanOfMead]

Party for One. Back on my beat. I’ll just dance with myself.

 

[OceanOfMead]

Sounds like everyone who preordered from 604 had a party last night. It hasn’t turned up in any of the places we usually find things so I guess I will wait

I’m still going to buy a physical copy but I want to hear it nowwwwww.

That’s good to hear that people are respecting the main release date. I had bought it but by the time I went to download it from the email they had zapped the link. It’s kind of fun to read the reviews.

 

[Disco P]

This being an example of one of those reviews.

Goddamn - So Right is sounding like an absolute tune. Loving that spacey yet strong vibe.
