The album has much more complex note structures than BBs other work. It is more aggressive as well especially the tracks escape and fund my death which the whole album builds to. Many people say BBs tracks are to short but I find it makes the album feel like a garden of sound, every minute the beat changes and you get something new. I think this is BBs best album to date, its creates a beautiful landscape of sound using sharp harp and synth melodies overlayed on haunting choirs and ambient strings. I give it a 10/10
I think the very obviously physically modelled-that is, not sourced from a recording, but calculated by computer and algorithm like Karplus-Strong-those guitars add a surprising charm that I didn't expect to find. In spite of their digital character, or indeed because of it, they add so much to so many tracks on this album.
Omg, I agree! Every track is somehow different but all of them seem to build a lyric-less story. It sounds so alien like and if you listen to it twice, you can tell how intricate it is to make each track sound different. I can say I love each BB album, all of them are awesome and unique, same as this one 💚
Also the short length of the tracks makes for a somewhat easy listen, in my opinion at least. Definitely a very unique and refreshing soundscape compared to his older works, doesn't sound much like vaporware anymore, in a good way of course.
Perfect timing, I was on the lookout for something new to help me get into a creative headspace. I've been using 0, 1 and MEGA for a long time now, Blank's music is perfect at putting me in a zen-like trance for drawing and animating.
dude the government doesn't exist pigeons are the ones behind the hologram, and this is just a way of them transferring the blame another way they do it is by the giraffes and australia
ok jerk you really just fucked me up, i was like "okay haha birds aren't real, stale meme" and then I saw the battery cover and now my whole goddamn day is ruined fuck you
this is the only time i've ever felt compelled to say "when the world needed him most, he returned" just amazing, SO happy to have another masterpiece from one of the best artists of our time, and i just love hearing those shinjuku mad vocals
2017 for me, when I started to listen to it. At first time, I didn't like it a lot... But while I was real sad with another fail in love, I decided to hear 0, and boy it was a hell of a trip. In love with BB since then
I met blank banshee in 2014 at a basement show / BitCoin convention where a total of six people showed up. His friend stood outside and smoked joints using tweezers. Guys fucking strange man.
People used to use them all the time before bongs and pipes became the big thing. They call em' roach clips so u dont burn the fuck out of your lip. It aint weird...its efficient.
I see themes in Blank Banshee's albums: Blank Banshee 0: More funky, 80s, computer/technology and political, but still human, it sounds fresh and upbeat, most of the tracks. It's all about initiation, puberty and adolescence. Blank Banshee 1: Tropical sounds, primitive, rush, adrenaline, nature, prehistoric vs modern, more cheerful yet anxious, and ethereal, just as cybernetic and technological as BB 0, going into trap a little more. It's about anxiety. MEGA: Hindu/Arab feeling, mystical, spiritual, more depressive than the previous one and the following one, and it has a more urban hip-hop-ish feel, vaportrap all the way. It's about depression. Metamorphosis: It has this medieval, epic, progressive, industrial, celestial sound, less robotic, more organic yet dramatic. It's about rehab/therapy. GAIA: It sounds more Southeast Asian, due to the strings, more urban sounding than Metamorphosis, and sounds more alien and outer space-ish than the other albums. It's about acceptance of reality and accomplishment of change.
A lot of art projects and small films actually use music from producers like this one. Even Off the Air on Adult Swim has used some BB and Deafheaven before.
@@Xenophilius That is a great question. If it consisted of songs like My Machine and Hyper Object, I can imagine a ‘90s-style action or spy movie. No movie genre comes to mind with any of the other BB songs I’m familiar with.
"Escape" is probably my favorite. It has a really chaotic, somewhat mechanical feeling? As if you were trapped in a malfunctioning factory of some kind and you had to, well, "Escape." I could see it being a video game boss theme
God I love what Curtis’ voice contributes to your sound, BB, y’all should do more Shinkuku Mad stuff sometime or something. You two have musical chemistry for *_days._*
it's cause covid is just a government scheme to keep people indoors while they change the batteries on the birds fam Always knew the fuckers weren't real
There’s actually a load of BB lore about the robot bird like a full user manual and notes from one of the fictional companies BB created. BB has a whole universe of really cool lore tying into the music vids and live shows.
I think the bird is supposed to be a dove. Doves are usually symbols of freedom. The dove is not real, so its a metaforical image of the illusion of freedom.
Just finished listening! Absolute smash of an album. Chlorine and Aquaduct really stood out to me especially back to back. Uncanny Valley was also a top notch. Honestly every song on here is fantastic, but i think my favorite part is how well this flows as an album. Still a big fan after years. Congrats on the new album!
Very sonically dynamic. I enjoy the variety of textures and timbres. Digging the experimentation! BTW I'm from your hometown! Glad to see somebody so talented from my city be successful.
I liked how diferent this album sounds from BB's other albums, although I must admit It sounds weird, but in a good way, but I must admit that I miss the nostalgic feels that the songs on Mega had, overall I think it will take me more than one listening to get used to these songs
i think its one of his music’s characteristics too be able to get surprised by the detailed sounds in all his tracks even after listening to them for over 100 times. He is only upgrading his sound and barely changed style throughout his albums imo.
Dang. I was not really looking forward to waking up today, I have two exams and then I'm studying for three others this week, but this really helped. Keep up the great work my man!
My happiness to be ready for this new album and I am surprised how perfect it is I am so happy to be here is to hear this masterpiece of recent times, congratulations BB for this wonderful work we love you 😍
today I woke up and played Makintoch song and woundred about bb souddenly to my suprise I found the Album uploaded 4min ago All love for BB and BB Fans hope you all doing well have a great day.

Literally said this to my partner like the nerd I am.

You ever just log on to RUclips at 3 A.M. to find a whole new BB album??
I did once. Guess it's twice now.

@@contentinternational In brazil already was 3am hehe
in 300 years all the alien shopkeepers will play blank banshee in their stores
and they will be basically humans but not born on earth, so technically aliens
its totally plausible they'd do it
Very plausible. A good way to attract customers I'd imagine.
okay guys, pack it up, now we wait for another 4 years
nah, he released Metamorphosis a year before this
@@WellIAmTheOne90 oh yeah i forgot lol
It could be worse, Boards of Canada only releases once a decade.

Metamorphosis is also a good one, about the same length as this one.
holy fuck hi
What up cynic!
I see your a man of subtle taste too
I like the government surveillance system on the album cover.
dude the government doesn't exist
pigeons are the ones behind the hologram, and this is just a way of them transferring the blame

If you look closely you can see a battery pack on the bottom
@@olsonbryce777 thanks Bryce, we did not notice, until now.
This Album is the most complex/progressive thing ever released by BB. Already a total masterpiece
concordo con te danie
Sono d’accordo
Grande danie, hey blank, this guy is amazing, big ck, im jk, this album is a... New masteRpiece of da new wave, ncradble album i swear. V1NIL.P/L/S
It’ll take a minute to grow on me like the others did, but definitely an instant classic.
Reminds me of Oneohtrix Point Never
Good Content indeed.
this is the only time i've ever felt compelled to say "when the world needed him most, he returned"
just amazing, SO happy to have another masterpiece from one of the best artists of our time, and i just love hearing those shinjuku mad vocals
the shinjuku mad vocals are a perfect fit
for some reason the memory of 2016 just blends into blank banshee for me

I miss 2016
oh boy i found blank banshee in this year (2020) and i wish i found his music earlier
@@mayabartolabac Glad you like it! His music is great
same with 2015 the day i found out about bandcamps tags page
Worth the 4 years wait. Thank you so much for your art.
You're not the only one who'd like to appreciate his work. Thank you Blank Banshee.
holy shit i cant believe its been 4 years since mega came out
I just noticed the panel on the dove to put the batteries in

NEW BLANK BANSHEE ALBUM?????
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I met blank banshee in 2014 at a basement show / BitCoin convention where a total of six people showed up. His friend stood outside and smoked joints using tweezers. Guys fucking strange man.
was this cormorant (vocalist)?
People used to use them all the time before bongs and pipes became the big thing. They call em' roach clips so u dont burn the fuck out of your lip. It aint weird...its efficient.
lmao, that doesn't surprise me. Sounds like a memorable experience

Perfect analysis. BB is kind of genius
@@summerheadrush2009 Thank you!
@@IZABELAqqqqq Thank you! :)
how would you comment on 4D?
Just imagine a movie with a soundtrack produced by Blank Banshee.
A lot of art projects and small films actually use music from producers like this one. Even Off the Air on Adult Swim has used some BB and Deafheaven before.
What genre do you think the movie would be?
@@Xenophilius That is a great question. If it consisted of songs like My Machine and Hyper Object, I can imagine a ‘90s-style action or spy movie. No movie genre comes to mind with any of the other BB songs I’m familiar with.
Oryx and Crake

"Escape" is probably my favorite. It has a really chaotic, somewhat mechanical feeling? As if you were trapped in a malfunctioning factory of some kind and you had to, well, "Escape."

So cool to hear old unreleased Songs being used here. 💖
I just listened to Floral Shoppe (for the 50th time) and this appeared on "Recommended". Thank you RUclips peering into my utmost dreams and desires.
I hear elements of all his previous releases in GAIA
Just realized the bird on the cover has a battery slot on the bottom where its feet are supposed to be, what did BB mean by this
it's cause covid is just a government scheme to keep people indoors while they change the batteries on the birds fam
Always knew the fuckers weren't real
birds dont real dumbass

@Donovan Piko people were saying it wasnt an album so i was like "ah... ok"

Woah. Mindtrap is just an up-ward evolution of BB.
An album full of excellence, grandeur and beauty. Thank you for this.
the drone bird just adds so much.

but it was a very nice spook

saw the tweet last night, went to bed excited to listen. literally cannot wait until free period to put my headphones on and enjoy
