how the fuck does Obner not have a thread on one of the best albums from this year?

from Pitchfork today:

Fever Ray's self-titled debut LP-- it's the gift that keeps on giving dark and dance-y goodness to the art-riddled goth in all of us. The Knife's Karin Dreijer Andersson is set to release her album's fourth single, "Seven", on 12" and digital formats on October 5 in the UK courtesy of Rabid/Cooperative. It'll be backed by remixes from "Day 'N' Nite" redoers Crookers, Brazil party starters CSS, Berlin techno dude Marcel Dettmann, D.C. click-clacker Martyn, Nic Chacona, Real Daniel, and Ghostly International artist Seth Troxler.

In addition, the Fever Ray album is being granted one of those instant reissues the kids are so crazy about nowadays. Fever Ray-- The Double Disc Edition hits October 12 and is padded with two covers-- Vashti Bunyan's "Been Here Before" and Nick Cave and Anita Lane's "Stranger Than Kindness"-- and a DVD featuring all of the album's superb videos thus far (if you haven't seen them, please do yourself a favor and head over to Pitchfork.tv right now) along with a new one for "Seven" directed by Johan Renck, whose music video resume includes Madonna's "Hung Up", Bat for Lashes' "Daniel", and Beyoncé's "Me, Myself and I". It should slay.

Fever Ray takes her heavily-costumed live show to North America next month. We can't wait.

their art work is also brilliant:







and finally

NEXT.

How many best albums of the year are we up to on here already?

i'm pretty sure dalen has mentioned this. i do like the artwork

but there is no thread and i have looked, so if he has it was only in passing. i have mentioned it many times.

this album in not the best album from this year (close as it is brilliant), i was just very surprised that there was no thread already. there is a reason why i have to have a second board as Obner is becoming way too jaded.

You have a second board? What next, XIX moves to NYC?

Obner is jaded? What's next, Todd posts the lyrics "Teach Your Children"?

Fu's was better. I'm trying not to be mean-spirited

ILM has 414 posts about this album, here i had to start a new post after the fourth single, apples to oranges...

you're so endearing.

I wonder if ILM gives themselves a pat on the back when you come over here.

sorry, i really want to stop talking about them. i just felt like i needed to defend myself.

i really do like this board but i get frustrated. i don't expect over 400 posts but i do expect it's own thread. don't think that is too much to ask...

two minutes later, i think i'm bi-polar?

can we talk about Fever Ray again?



^^^ sometimes i think my signature is for me. ^^^

Why does every album warrant a thread? There is a rolling 2009 thread. Sure, its great to spotlight certain albums, but I would imagine with this board the people who want it, have it, and those who don't probably didn't even open the thread. Its not exactly an under-the-radar album.

...and why do we have to mirror another music board?

yeah, i've mentioned it many times since it leaked, and even posted a track.

superb album.

she is awesome.

"I'm Not Done" is probably my favorite track of 2009 thus far. There's a really good YouTube video that pairs the song with clips from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. It works incredibly well.
