Music Thread 2: Electric Boogaloo Bernd 2025-10-16 02:02:12 No. 16157

Picking up where we left off. >>225 I've obviously sung endless praises for the album Surrender, so there's no need to retread what's already been covered. Maggie Rogers's early work merits a closer look, especially The Echo, which she wrote and recorded as a high schooler. The album is standard Folk music, with its strength lying in the lyrics; rough around the edges and struggling to discover her strengths. The standout track is the closing tune, "Satellite," tastefully arranged with a piano, violin, and trumpet. Maggie croons about longing for a moment of reprieve without indulging in maudlin sentimentality. "Embers", "Wolves" and "Deep in the Earth" are also very worthy: https://maggierogers.bandcamp.com/album/the-echo Blood Ballet continues where The Echo left off. While a little more consistent, the album lacks a strong emotional centerpiece like "Satellite" which leaves me yearning for more. That said, it still features great tunes like "Resonant Body", "James", "Drift", "Little Joys", "Anybody" and, of course, the highlight "Symmetry": https://maggierogers.bandcamp.com/album/blood-ballet Finally, we have her previously unreleased Shoegaze EP that appeared on Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011-2016. According to her commentary, the end of a two-year-long relationship inspired "Together" and likely "One More Afternoon". She still yearned to be together with her man while he chased his dreams beyond the Rockies. Thoroughly emotional and utterly engaging. Unfortunately, much of these intense emotions would be somewhat flattened on the major label debut Heard It in a Past Life and first EP Now That the Light Is Fading. Despite strong tracks like "Light On", "Fallingwater", and "Dog Years", the album suffers from sterile production values and underwhelming instrumentation. Honey, I know you've been shaking Sick and awaiting vacation But I could be your heron blue sky I could be your white night lullaby Wrap me in celadon and gold Wrap me in celadon and gold If you want me Would you call me? Would you call me? If you want me And maybe I'll wait for a cold day Shiver in sheets until you say Through your silent heat "Won't you pilot me?" Ooh, ooh If you want me Would you call me? If you want me, oh If you want me Would you call me? Would you call me? If you want me If you want me Would you call me? If you want - I was losing you in greys and blues A winter sky, I never Want to know the risk Inconsequential views, I never knew Could play that part when I was Walking through the park And I Would paint the clouds away If I could I would Take it slow walking home Remind you all that we could be Together Holding hands while marching bands sing Loud choruses of the future Together And all that's good and fine But, darling, I'm still terrified That you'll choose Los Angeles over me I'm staring at my toes If only I could make them go where'd I'd be Happy And you say That you'd never stay Wait, we could Take it slow walking home Remind you all that we could be Together Holding hands while marching bands sing Loud choruses of the future Together Together Together - [i]I never told you 'bout the green in your eyes Watching you sleep through 2008 skies But it's over Maybe some other time We always said we'd meet up in the city Tell of our lives since that virgin kiss Oh, such a long while ago in my mind First love, gone too soon I wish that I could Sit with you For one more afternoon First love, gone too fast I think of you like we were last Alive, and you're in love, and in the side One more afternoon One more afternoon One more One more One more Maybe in ten years I'll think about now And I'll learn that you're always with me somehow Always in my mind First love, gone too soon I wish that I could sit with you For one more afternoon First love, gone too fast I think of you like we were last Alive, and you're in love Alive, and you

>>18767 A fellow man of culture and civilization. For a different flavor of Andean folk, I like Inti-Illimani. As the product of Chilean university kids it misses the volkisch feel of a band like Intiraymi, but their genius in elaboration and adaptation more than makes up for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyjFtnBK5Lo sorry for no file, but I don't pirate things

>>18818 While we're in South America, Bandalos Chinos from Argentina were a happy recent discovery for me. New-ish indie band that only took off in the late 2010s. A lot of their songs end up sounding same-y, but I appreciate anyone who puts out beautiful original music in this degraded age. This album makes me want to ride a motorcycle across the endless pampa listening to it on repeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FqH71p8ZmY

One of these days I'm gonna wake up smiling One of these days I'm gonna cry When all of the years start to blend in together I watch 'em disappear in your eyes Remember the days we used to drive upstate Singing indie-rock songs in the car You wore your fresh leather And blamed it on the weather For being the reason you were So difficult, but so invincible Irresistible, but I loved you still You kept my secrets and stole my weaknesses In your white T-shirt, but I couldn't fill The shoes you laid down for me From the girls that came before I was all the way in You were halfway out the door Oh I was an animal making my way up the hill And you were going in for the kill And you were going in for the kill One of these days I'm gonna Wake up fresh and Wipe all the past from my eyes Curl up next to you in tall grass, sunshine And wrap my body's shape 'round your side Remember the days we used to ideate About what we would do all our lives I'd be a singer and an old bourbon drinker Oh, and we'd have a band on the side I know I was So difficult, but so invincible Irresistible, but you loved me still I kept your secrets and stole your weaknesses In your white T-shirt, but you couldn't fill The shoes I laid down for you From the guys that came before You were all the way in I was halfway out the door Oh, you were an animal making your way up the hill And I was going in for the kill Oh, all of our lives Was it worth it? Ooh, or were we just wasting time? 'Cause we were hurting But I know that you know That I know you best and I know that we both Could forget all the rest If we just can Admit that We both were So difficult, but so invincible Irresistible, but I loved you still You kept my secrets and stole my weaknesses In your white T-shirt, but I couldn't fill The shoes you laid down for me From the ones that came before I was all the way in You were halfway out the door Oh, I was an animal making my way up the hill And you were going in for the kill Oh, I was going in for the kill Oh, we were going in for the kill

>>16157 >>18140 >>18141 >>18578 >>19851 >>20251 As much as I admire Maggie as a performer especially when compared to the other slop at my gym, her media appearances and interviews give the impression she's quite a bougie pseud. Either she's been marinating in this scene long enough to lose her sense of chronology or she's just revising history for her own narrative and the interviewer's article, but either way, this shit irritates me: https://inews.co.uk/culture/music/maggie-rogers-interview-new-album-surrender-write-own-songs-1766450 >A lot of that also has to do with the real progress that’s been made with sexism and feminism in the last six years.” Rogers recently said that before the pandemic, she was so afraid of being sexualised, she “really squashed my sense of sexuality in order to protect myself”. >“My career started in a pre-Me Too era where indie pop wasn’t a genre that existed,” she says today. Bitch, shut the fuck up. Indiefucks were everywhere in the late 2000s and 2010s. Movies like Juno, Away We Go, Amélie, (500) Days of Summer and virtually any film starring Zooey Deschanel captured that zeitgeist along with the growing popularity of Vice, BrooklynVegan and so many other not-so-niche publications/websites. Just look at any commercial from that era, especially Apple. Just from my own memory: https://youtu.be/GrLR7l4qgfQ https://youtu.be/NNUwO4GPFqg https://youtu.be/9acrKK7mfmM https://youtu.be/EFp3YMMqoIo https://youtu.be/sijSh4tMPVg There were countless other shitty ads featuring hipsters gyrating around hocking whatever new-fangled gadget was on the market. You weren't a progenitor. You were its progeny. Also >muh MeToo Fuck off. The one time she had a deeply unpleasant experience from a drunk fan shouting at her to take her top off was met with condemnation from the rest of the audience and full support of the media: https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-50123733 Still, I forgive it all because her music is so...pleasantly womanly.

>>21061 The question is: WHY DO YOU FUCKING CARE? Just listen to the music, you need not care about her private life or retarded opinions. Separate the art from the artist.

>>21061 What do you like about her music?

Bernd 2025-11-09 02:02:50 No. 21081

>>21075 I've gone over this several times before, but beneath her activism and intensely bourgeois image lies something rarer than ideological alignment: raw humanity. She's intoxicatingly feminine in a way that inspires building futures rather than cringing to death from the angst or narcissism, especially in a modern landscape teeming with hollow girlboss empowerment anthems, irony-laced lyrics or decadence made song. Surrender sounds like a private journal blasted through stadium-sized hooks. Energetic and upbeat songs like "Shatter", "Want Want" and "Overdrive" hit with fuzzed adrenaline while "Be Cool" exhales into groove-cooled calm. Other songs like "Anywhere With You" and "Begging for Rain" drip with melancholy without being maudlin. Nothing stagnates; even the quiet tracks stay in motion. Maggie's resonant purity inspires building futures or collapsing into the arms of someone who loves you after a brutal day. What cemented my fandom was the circumstance leading to my discovery of her music on my gym's playlist. It's no accident she would be a ray of sunshine amid a miasmic stew of substandard slop no thanks to Zoom Media. For reference, here is an incomplete list of the dreck on rotation: Fifth Harmony, The 1975, Pitbull, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Mimi Webb, Billie Eilish, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Fall Out Boy, Empire of the Sun, Becky Hill, Blxst, Lil Nas X, Zara Larsson, Ariana Grande, Anitta, Alesso, Em Beihold, Justin Bieber, Hailee Steinfeld, BLACKPINK, Black Eyed Peas, R3HAB, Charli XCX, Dev, Jason Derulo, Kat DeLuna, Dirty Heads, Ava Max, Dua Lipa, Missy Elliot, Icona Pop, Jagwar Twins, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding, FLO, Flo Milli, Bebe Rexha, anything with David Guetta, Bruno Mars, Ella Henderson, Jack Harlow, Imagine Dragons, Mabel, Machine Gun Kelly, Rita Ora, Paramore, Yung Gravy, Meghan Trainor, Portugal the Man, Latto, Lizzo, Meg Myers, Sofi Tukker, Sam Smith, Jax, Chappell Roan, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, 5 Seconds of Summer, Afroki, Alok, Arctic Monkeys, Beartooth, BENEE, binki, Blu Cantrell, Cazzette, Clean Bandit, Olivia Rodrigo, Ke$ha, Big Boss Vette, Maja Kristina, AJR, Almost Monday, Artemas, Iggy Azalea, Gus Dapperton, DNCE, Echosmith And that ain't even the half. That shit continues to drive me insane. Thankfully, my headphones come on during my cardio, but for the lifting sessions, I need my ears free. It's entirely possible, especially given Maggie's politics and image, I would've been much crueler and less receptive were I to experience her music in an entirely different setting and/or circumstances. I like big, heavy riffs and music that channels raw power and intensity, so her catalog is very far removed from my usual listening habits. It's not that I'm incapable of listening to softer music, but those tunes are given a lesser priority.
