In case of interest, a quote from an interview in the Irish Times:
Religious motifs ripple through Prelude to Ecstasy: Abigail Morris (principle vocalist) and Lizzie Mayland, the band’s rhythm guitarist, were raised Catholic; on My Lady of Mercy and elsewhere, the former grapples with her tricky relationship with faith.
“It’s about having feelings for women as a woman and coming to terms with that growing up in a very Catholic family and school,” Morris told Dutch TV last year. “And having simultaneous feelings of excitement and discovering yourself - but also lots of shame and fear and guilt. I wrote it to try and free that part of me that was proud of it, exploring it through Catholic imagery rather than hiding from it. Using it for my own gain.”
its not very nice to comment
something unrelated to
the video above, but.
anyone else super excited
for skye to discover MGMT?
Loss Of Life?! More like Lots Of Life!! Awesome listen. MGMT are cool too. But ya gotta hear The Last Dinner Party record above.
AVAA Skye - love to see you pull your knowledge of French literature into your reviews! I'm also late to the party on this album, but you've definitely made me want to check it out!
P.S. as a brit - I approve of the term 'European Anglosphere' - that brit-pop/rock sound is definitely not exclusive to Britain, which had never crossed my mind! Great idea (hope it catches on) :)
All of this!
Skye: 'I have to edit I may as well do a skit in the middle.'
we need more skits!
As an Irish person I’m SO pleased with European anglosphere: it’s in such good taste
Thank you! Term needs to exist.
I'm irish too.
Simone de Beauvoir on the title? That's the clickbait we need on RUclips. Guaranteed click
Really enjoyed thinking about TLDP through the lens of de Beauvoir but feel you should be aware that the band tend to refer to themselves as a 'non-male' band as not all of them identify as female 😊
Thank you for that, I didn't know that.
AVAA! listening to you compare TLDP to Beauvoir made me think that they might be the female mirror to a band like IDLES, who are in my mind great examples of using "positive masculinity" to grow as men. TLDP in my (41 year old male) mind feel like a band expressing "positive femininity" to grow and teach others as women, and I hope they receive just as much (if not more) acclaim and notoriety as IDLES!
That was brilliant to start by talking about "Nothing Matters" first.
AVAA! This has been a nice pleasant surprise this year. Have already recc'ed this but im going to continue to rally for Mk.gee, which im sure youve already heard a lot about.
My theory on 'the last' is that it's a 'last supper' joke
i be impressed skye
1:23 I love this channel, so much. Let us celebrate the European Anglosphere ~ AVAA
Love it❤
AVAA! will Skye take a listen to the upcoming Schoolboy Q ?!?
Two all female bands: Band-Maid and The Warning... they are exceptional! and so are The Last Dinner Party...
The warning are great so is the last dinner party. Never heard of band maid.
AVAA: “Euro Wave”
*maybe? I dunno. 👆 just sounds more like a genre. The ‘European anglosphere’, while a pretty creative umbrella term, is quite a mouthful
AVAA - love this album… ❤ You must see them live! And you have the same Dungeness print as me! 😅
I spend hours looking at that print. Don’t know where my dad bought it, but I cherish it, even if I’ve never been there.
I like it. Sounds like these ladies have been listening to a lot of St. Vincent. I noticed in one of their videos, the guitar player was even playing St. Vincent's signature guitars.Lead singer sounds a lot like her.
AVAA - Thanks as always Skye! Any recommendations for literature touching on language as a central theme in the way you describe in this video? I recently watched Past Lives, which delves in themes of immigration and language very similarly.
Bristling at the dig at George’s drumming. Great review overall though!
AVAA, Day 6 of watching and commenting on a Professor Skye video until he reviews Tetsuo & Youth
AVAA!!
AVAA what if birds had wings
AVAA!!!
Charles Fourier coined the term 'feminism' in 1837. Google says the term feminist first appeared in France and the Netherlands in 1872, so Simone de Beauvoir was probably aware of the term
AVAA 💖
AVAA take 2
COYS!
Get that sound guy out of here😂
AVAA yes a fellow crier-at-songs-of-friendship.
TLDP is VERY ABBA, i think thats why i gravitate so much towards it. I saw them live at a Hozier convent and they’re amazing!!!
Bit of queen too.
AVAA. After watching your vids for a year or two, this was the one that finally convinced my wife to watch along with me. We both like the album. Didn’t know about the Geese connection - 2023’s AOTY!
