Released in 1982 as the lead single from their final studio album, Avalon, "More Than This" is a sophisticated and melancholic track. The song, written by Bryan Ferry, is characterized by its smooth production, Ferry's distinctive vocals, and a memorable saxophone solo. It was one of their last major hits, reaching number 6 in the UK.
Released in 1985 as part of the "Hounds of Love" album, "Under Ice" is a haunting and atmospheric song. Bush's ethereal vocals tell a chilling tale of a person trapped beneath a frozen river. The song's experimental soundscapes and evocative lyrics make it a standout of her unique artistry.
Hiatus Kaiyote tour dates are out, including a couple with Digable Planets?
Second track from the upcoming album is out too. So far not among my fav of their stuff but I really like them overall. Glossy, very complex art soul pop from Brainfeeder and Ninja Tune #music#soul#jazz#ARTPOP
Released in 1980 on the album 'Never For Ever', Kate Bush's 'Army Dreamers' is a haunting waltz about a mother lamenting the loss of her young son during military exercises. Its anti-war message and unique sound marked a shift in Bush's musical direction.
Last Monday, while I was waiting for another female fronted band to start playing (Culk, go and check them out too), they put an extremely interesting playlist. I saved one song from it and this is my first contribution today:
It's #MusicWomenWednesday (by @loewe) and today I am going to bring you two girls that I might see live this year.
First, a woman that I first discover as "the pop artist playing at Wacken". But of course, no matter what genre you do, if you play at Wacken you must have "something" ;)
Good news for me and the seeming handful of other Hiatus Kaiyote fans out there, a new album is coming and the first single is out. Fantastic, jazzy "future beat neo-soul" (🤷 it's great), this is the band I think of when I listen to domi + beck and think they need a richer, more filled out sound
I did not made my homework and I have nothing prepared for this #MusicWomenWednesday (by @loewe) but everyday is a perfect day for the sweet and soothing voice of Elena Tonra, within or without Daughter.
Think I'll stick with a couple of themes from yesterday for #TonightsListening - a 'wintry' album and - why the hell not - by another female singer-songwriter.
So #NowPlaying is '50 Words For Snow' by Kate Bush.
New single coming soooooon! ‘The Web’ will be out on all platforms next Tuesday with the music video to follow soon after. I couldn't be more excited!!! Prepare for some creepy crawly vibes! 🕷 @music#singlerelease#newmusic#musicvideo#artpop#darkpop
Here’s another new release I’m excited about! Cellist-singer-songwriter-producer @unwoman released her 9th original record last week (she also has a very impressive collection of cover albums). She released a few album drafts along the way so we could follow the process so I’m extra excited to hear the final version. I just got my CD from the Kickstarter in the mail.
Hi everyone! I’m #newhere, again! I had an account before but the server musician.social was on accidentally got wiped. So here’s a little #introduction: I like talking about #music and #culture, especially that of the #80s and #90s. My own music has more of a #00s feel since that was when I first started writing. #björk, #toriamos and #radiohead are my greatest influences and I’d say my material falls into the #artpop genre.
I’m currently recovering from #longcovid and learning #finalcutpro.
Flashback to Thursday night when our “West End Girls” debuted on the radio. Almost feels like the 80s, waiting for this same song to come on so I could tape it on my combo radio/cassette recorder boombox. 🖤
Hello musician.social! I'm new here, taking a break from Meta and hoping to make some new friends! Would love to hear how your Mastodon experience compares to your FB and IG experience! A bit about me: I'm a #singer and #pianist based in Bristol , UK. My own music falls into these genres: #artpop#darkpop#baroquepop#indieelectronic and #indietronica , but I listen to all kinds of stuff. (Mainstream country from the 80s is my guilty pleasure. 🙂)
Creating art is taking a little piece of your soul and putting it into a tangible form that others can experience, which is why AI-generated art misses the point.
Can AI make aesthetically-pleasing shit? Of course! Based on the output of thousands of human artists over hundreds of years.
But when you ask it to make something entirely new, even based on very specific directions, or even just the random roulette of gibberish commands, it STILL has to rely on and copy human artists.
AI has no framework to know if what it's creating is GOOD, or even accurate, b/c it has no preferences regarding taste or accuracy--which are so subjective when it comes to creativity.
The argument that "humans also reference/train on others' art in order to make their own, AI just does it faster and more efficiently" is not accurate, since AI is NOT processing that art and filtering it through its own subjective framework (the soul as defined above) to create a new work to express that individual's particular ideas and emotions.
