We’re so back.

>>127793204 (OP)
Has an album ever been mogged this hard?

>>127793204 (OP)
Which will be the first “indie” writer to cross the picket line and admit this fact? Melonhead? Condé Nast Pitchfork?

>>127793473
>>127793473
im pretty sure if ariel spams fagtanos replies and @ all the critics with ai slop begging for attention a dozen more times its going to work

>>127793894
Which ai generated part ruins it for you? Point to the song and the moment you’re referring to.

>>127793933
i meant his twitter lol. the album has at least two songs with ai but its used well

>>127794056
Ah I don’t follow the twitter but I can imagine it’s a bit cringe. He’s had a rough time

>>127793204 (OP)
YAAAS GUUUUUURL!!!

its kinda sad to see

>>127794328
Not that bad. I understand why he wants press. He needs to make money and he knows the album is indisputably good.

>>127794328
lmao only bots, complement pill-pushing far-right grifters are replying

>>127794436
It’s possibly been too long. Young zoomers are the biggest plebs on planet earth. Just look at the state of this board.

>>127793933
>ai generated part
I don't think he actually uses AI for the actual songs besides the "movie samples" on Anosognosia or the short monologue on One Last Lullaby.

>>127794328
I know he's a crank but I'm pretty sure he's being semi-ironic here.

>>127794847
Why is he a crank? He makes great music

>>127793473
I know Sky Ferreira, Mac DeMarco, James Ferraro, etc,etc all love his music and still support him in private but can't publicly acknowledge it because he makes like a career ending statement on twitter every other week. He is so fucking hated in indie music circles too.

>>127794731
wrong, title track probably has heavier ai use. it has a kingcon credit and sounds like a better take on something like ariels not abducted with actual thought and effort. it has veeeery simillar timbre
>>127794847
emphesis on semi, he was probably high, drunk and generally mad since maus featured in a tweet with half a million views

>>127795241
What do you mean by “career ending statement” and give some examples? To make good music you have to parrot everything the little Brooklyn cult says?

>>127795467
>you have to parrot everything the little Brooklyn cult says?
Yeah basically you have to play along with these liberal arts major Substack writers if you want to get into the club. Not saying I like it but that's how it is. They're never going to make an exception for him.

>>127795621
No wonder the music from these scenes is all complete soulless garbage.

Album is good but Mommy Made Dinner is so cringe. Love Doggie In The Window

>>127795241
Had no idea Mac Demarco liked him

>>127796458
someone spotted him at Ariel's last LA show too

>>127793473
Fagtano is a snake and will probably talk about AP again

>>127795436
Title track sounds exactly like the 2000s lofi era I kinda believe its AI desu

>>127796503
Cool
>>127796557
There is nothing Fantano can say about Ariel that will make me forgive him for his crimes against art

>>127795939
i thought mommy made dinner was gay at first too but it grew on me

>remove why
Now its a 10/10

>>127793204 (OP)
xhe is so brave

>>127796616
Listened to it again & it's a more tolerable this time.
>>127796701
You didn't like Why?
>>127796780
Xher

you guys keep saying this but no one has dropped a song yet.

>>127793274
Whatever happened to this guy

>>127796458
Not hard to tell. He was aping Ariel a lot early on. Not shitting on Mac, I like him too.

>>127797974
He got “cancelled” for supporting Trump and going to a protest (not the capitol even though whogaf). Also some butthurt ex of his bitched to the woke internet media. Mexican Summer label betrayed him and he was in no man’s land for a long time. Even Julian Casablancas tried to help him but his label wouldn’t allow a collab.

This year he started dating some young hot “Nazi” chick and it seems to have reinvigorated him because he just dropped a 10.0 BNM heater. But the leftist music media is pretending he doesn’t exist because he violated their crypto-communist code.

(1/2)

If anyone is interested, here’s an excerpt from Mac’s Tape Op interview when he discusses Ariel inspiring him. Ariel is truly the OG of that whole chillwave, hypnogogic, bedroom lofi indie genre.

(2/2)

>>127793204 (OP)
I'm listening on BC & YT, not gonna listen to it in full till I have a hardcopy. But yeah, from the 5 songs I've heard this is the real good stuff, return to form and yet there is exploration. Ariel's a master at setting the atmosphere, you're engulfed, kek, again I've only heard 5 tracks off this thing

This album definitely got the we're back but never left feel

>>127798316
I’m 3 listens in and it keeps getting better. Definitely among the best things he’s made, particularly of his “hi fi” stuff

>>127793204 (OP)
>thousand cock stare
no. it's a mediocre album, 4/7 at best.

>>127801077
Why does AP make this board seethe so bad. This guy obviously didnt listen to the album lmao

>>127801077
>Thousand cock stare
What does that even mean in this context

>>127801077
nu /mu/ cringe

>>127798919
Awe yeah I believe it, I came into that track you're referring to, threw me out of orbit, had to stop it, I'm holding back. I wanna treat this album like an album after hearing the singles, and the other 3 tracks. I wanna throw this thing on the turntable and headphones listen, yaknowwhatimean. You guys aren't making this easy, bout to filter all Ariel Pink threads till I hear the record on my comfy terms. From what I heard and gather, this is something special. That we are so back energy, echo OP >>127793204 (OP)

>>127793274
This guy is acting like he's at the end of his life while a guy more than ten years older than him is releasing albums fresher and more energetic than anything he did even at his peak (which I didn't think I'd end up calling his peak at the time by the way.) He's somehow the most JUST musician I've ever seen with there being not really anything to make him JUST. It's really strange, like there's something only her knows that has - for a lack of better words - destroyed him. Because, boy does he seem destroyed.

>>127801721
I wonder if it stems from guilt or fear about his past. Mac also went through a brief “cancellation” moment: IE John Lent and Alex Calder. Seems like he is in the musical sunken place. He also quit drinking which maybe didn’t help

Is Ariel a panentheist?

>>127802072
Explain

>>127802200
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panentheism
IDK he'd make for a pretty good 21st century Spinoza

>>127801680
another ap baby mama hes going to ditch in a year
bpd not even once

hi devin i know you probably posted this

>>127802427
So jealous

the verdict is finally in

We’re so fucking back

>>127806045
Oh my god I want her lips around my cock so bad

>>127807195
She's BWC only

>>127801090
It started when he insulted Grimes back when she had a devoted fanbase on this board and it got worse after Jan 6 and he went on Fox News

>>127793204 (OP)
off the dome, i wanna be a girl and life before today go hard

>>127793204 (OP)
Finally he does something decent. He's been embarrassing himself nonstop since Capitol

>>127793473
none of the above honestly as it goes against their script. don't forget that (((they))) tried to systematically dismantle the hypnogogic pop movement

>>127808245
For me it’s

>rym trannies think Cindy Lee is better than Ariel Pink

Are zoomers the most plebeian generation yet?

>>127806045
Unironically, how does Ariel do it?

>>127808525
Gtfo fantano

>>127808688
Be a famous musician

>>127809091
He's also rich from both his family and royalties from his music appearing in tv/movies/vidya so that helps

>>127808688
Little Tweety Dum got her first guitar
I taught her all she knows and she will go far
But no with any bros, hoes, or hipster chodes
She got a pocketful of promises

Halfpreparedatbest, though thebest by far
Shedoesn't have to train just to be a star
Works out and does yoga and prays to Baal
She got a pocketful of promises

>>127807360
>Fox News
Many such cases

i miss when he did funny voices and said he was satanic, all this new stuff is just too clean in polished.

>>127810219
Well this is the first proper LP in 8 years so I’m not sure what “new stuff” trend you’re referring to. The truly lofi era ended 20 years ago or more

>>127810311
i'm 43 years old

>>127810480
I’m not disagreeing with you, the lofi era is his best stuff IMO

>>127803012
Lol

>>127812122
The guy who posted these was an ex-fan who defended Ariel after Jan 6 BTW.

>>127808245
All awesome tracks - but Off the Dome grew on me so quickly. On my first listen it sounded pretty unassuming but it's my most played on the album now.

Also love Entertainment. I can feel the keyboards in my bones.

>>127812204
So what, still cringe

>>127812353
>a quote unquote literal nazi is dating with the last name Rosenberg

>>127812452
I’m saying posting to the fantano lereddit to attempt a cancellation is cringe
