She announced this album last year when All Mirrors came out. I had completely forgotten about it.
unreal, as usual
Think I prefer the bells and whistles to the stripped back version. Also not convinced that they aren’t demos. They certainly sound like demos.
They actually sound like they’re recording under water. I don’t get the idea of wilfully doing this.
think this sounds pretty great on one listen. feel like i’ve already connected with it more than i did with all mirrors.
Part of All Mirrors’ appeal is its overblown grandeur. This is fine but I much prefer the fuller sound.
it’s nice, but it’s missing the symphonic grandeur and opulent flourish of all mirrors
Her voice is incredible on this. Fucking Hell.
I wonder if Far Memory will be available separately at some point
featuring a third disc of outtakes from the outtakes record
i will buy it
HMV has these for 50 and free delivery, gonna take the plunge i think
the boxset turned up today, it’s absolutely gorgeous. BUT the first thing I put on was side A of Far Memory and was assaulted by two absolutely dreadful remixes by Johnny Jewel and Mark Ronson and I would really recommend being careful never to make the same mistake I did. not sure I’ll ever be able to unhear.
