re-listening to tune-yards and remembering how good their first three albums were. finally listening to sketchy too and digging it so far. it's sad they kind of fell off the radar and that their audience fell off (myself included) after i can feel you creep into my private life.
i do agree with the pitchfork article about how conversations of cultural appropriation needed to be brought forward and releasing an album (especially in 2018) centered on white guilt was awkward and off-putting. but it also doesn't sit well with me that the author, laura snapes, is a white woman complaining about how uncomfortable it is to talk about white guilt. white people need to talk to white people about their own accountability no matter how uncomfortable it is. i think it comes down to the audience. i think tune-yards were aiming for their white, liberal, hipster audience but it ended up coming off as "woe is me, evil white woman" esp. with "colonizer"
idk it's not my place to say what's right or wrong in this conversation about the appropriation of afrobeat but execution aside, i think what tune-yards wrote and sang about, be it bringing awareness to oppressive systems or white guilt, are still important discussions that need to be had. and as others have pointed out, it has to be noted that other (mostly male) musicians who have strong african and afro-beat influences (i.e. vampire weekend, paul simon, etc.) are subjected to much less public scrutiny.
regardless, i'm happy they're still make music and have even moved to scoring with boots riley on sorry to bother you and i'm a virgo.

Feist Livestream Preview: 2/14, Mandolin
Tumblr media

Happy Valentine’s Day, especially to fans of a certain Canadian singer-songwriter. Indeed, when I heard a few days ago that Feist had announced a V-Day livestream on Mandolin, I should have known something was up. Thankfully, it’s the announcement of her first album in 6 years, Multitudes (Interscope), along with 3 (!) new songs. Written after the birth of her daughter and death of her father, mostly on a post-COVID tour, Multitudes was recorded with Feist’s touring band, co-producers Robbie Lackritz and Mocky, and in conjunction with multi-instrumentalists Gabe Noel and Shahzad Ismaily. Of the three new songs, “In Lightning”, the festively titled “Love Who We Are Meant To”, and “Hiding Out in the Open”, it’s the first that catches my ear the most. Beginning with off-kilter harmonies and pounding percussion reminiscent of Tune-Yards, it nonetheless eventually reveals everything you love about Feist, from the inherent melancholy and longing in her melismatic singing to her unmistakably buzzy guitar playing. Not to say the other two tracks are slouches, either; both feature gorgeous, scraping, finger-picked acoustic guitar and twangy, rounded notes. “Hiding Out in the Open”, especially, plays with multi-tracked vocals and a capella moments, Feist’s trembling voice singing lines like “Everybody’s got their shit” and “There are a thousand different ways to hide” appropriate for days of self-care and self-love.
Tonight at 6 PM CST, Feist will perform on said livestream, for free, and with her new material! Since this is only her 6th album in 2 and a half decades of releasing music, I’m calling this one a must-watch.

So @somerandomdudelmao made a version of their sona in a dystopia (inspired by @tapakah0 doing the same to theirs) and the person in this ask named the robot C.A.S.5 and I thought, ‘well then there’s at least four other C.A.S. units out and about in the world’ leading to this being the end result! It was a lot of fun to come up with the different customizations each C.A.S. unit has.
also, the design for C.A.S.4 (Cash) was partially inspired by @mobiitez post.
