I hate Pitchfork. Hate. They are always contrarian about everything just for the sake of being so. Meanwhile they gave that AWFUL new Janelle Monae record a "Best New Music" rating. UGH! If you can't hear the craftsmanship and utter i…

Thea - the elusive
I hope Thea doesn't become the "Lovely 2 C U" of this era, a cracking album track they refuse to ever play. I can understand how it might be somewhat disruptive at the Goldfrapp + orchestra evenings, but surely it will fit in well wi…

Love For Laurel and her red, red hair......
The most cinematic with Simone, yeah. I love Laurel too ! However, what the hell is Alison saying at 2:25 ??? Bump. By the way I love this contrast on the lyrics : Looking for light, a golden light / Lying for lies, a golden lie. Genius !

Tales of Us - Lyrics
There's a mistake for Thea, it's : "There's wild in your eyes, there's a light oh Thea, there's a feeling". Not : "There's wild in your eyes oh Thea, there's a light, there's a feeling".

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
Does the booklet indicate which instruments are used in each song ? I wanna know for Simone, since it looks like the most sumptuous track. There's quite a long section - the standard band and what they played, specifics outside of that for ce…

"Hair swept out into the water ripples of black." It's about a murder, IMO.

Because the two songs don't match.

Nope. Jojo (aka Georges Pasquier) was his driver, manager and confidant, but also his closest friend. This song you posted is a tribute to his untimely death. I don't think Alison took her inspirations there for Jo ?!

DREW
There is no release. Just promos. Drew a week earlier would have been smart for iTunes: pre-order now and download Drew in advance, like Gaga did with Applause which is the album pre-order track. Order it: download the track, and the rest when the a…

Tales of Us - Lyrics
"At the mirror you gentle comb your hair" This must be my favorite part of Simone, this is so cinematographic... When the song "starts", piano changes into harpsichord/guitar. We can clearly feel the betrayal.

I'm hoping/assuming that the standard CD comes with a lyric booklet...Yes, we definitely need lyrics. But I'm not anxious since all their albums contained lyrics. The only thing I wanna know so hard is : where did Alison find all those ins…

Here's the back cover artwork from amazon. :) I wonder if each name was written by sombody else and not only Alison pretending to do so...? Exactly what I was expecting. :)

I wonder if the Deluxe download option includes all the Deluxe files if there are b-sides or just the regular edition until the box is released and sent out. I doubt we'll get the extra tracks right away, i'm more wondering if we'll …

Tales of Us: Rank the Songs (Best to Worst)
It's even more difficult than Felt Mountain to rank the songs... It's a heartache, I swear ! Let's give it a try... 01. Jo 02. Simone 03. Stranger 04. Thea 05. Drew 06. Laurel 07. Clay 08. Alvar 09. Annabel 10. Ulla

Felt Mountain - best to worst
01. Utopia 02. Lovely Head 03. Deer Stop 04. Pilots 05. Human 06. Horse Tears 07. Paper Bag 08. Felt Mountain 09. Oompa Radar Damn, it was hard and I'm not convinced at all.

The album is available is good quality. The difference is not huge but it is very appreciable... Especially on tracks like Thea, Stranger and Clay.
