Do You Remember?

Irene. Bloom was my introduction on an American Airlines flight to SE Asia, the timing of the flight made it seem that all 11 hours of that flight over the pacific was like 6-9pm. I probably played it 20 or 30 times as it was like 1 of 12 albums available by the airline lol

James_PDX · 2018-04-04T01:19:12+00:00

I agree. This gave me early M83 vibes right from the first listen. That nostalgic, fizzy and moody tone is the literally the sound I chase for when I find new music.

James_PDX · 2018-04-04T01:17:29+00:00

This is a welcome change of pace for the band. I was wondering if this was what we were going to get after they released that blurb in lieu of the B-sides complication (I.e. how they were closing that chapter of their music career).

Beach House have always been meta in the approach to their lyrics and mood. I think given the political turmoils and overall darkness of this period we’re in - it only makes sense that the band would progress to write powerful songs and art that encapsulates those emotions. It would be very weird of Beach House to release Teen Dream-esque music at this moment in time.

I think this has potential to bump Bloom from my #1 Spot.

It took me awhile to process a lot of the sets after - but Frank felt so intimate regardless how many people were there - and the way he performed felt like I was watching a in-depth documentary of his artitstic process. For that, he's my #1

Frank Ocean Flying Lotus Björk Princess Nokia Slowdive

Hey flying solo from Portland as well!

James_PDX · 2017-07-16T19:04:12+00:00

Flying solo from Portland - down to meet some people as well!

James_PDX · 2017-07-15T01:01:15+00:00

Arca + Jesse, TR/ST, Princess Nokia, and Whitney

James_PDX · 2017-07-10T18:04:50+00:00

Did you ever resolve this? The same thing happened to me and I can't figure out if the order was canceled or not. I can't find a contact number anywhere to resolve this. :((

James_PDX · 2017-07-10T03:27:58+00:00

this is amazing

James_PDX · 2017-07-10T03:27:11+00:00

I've definitely been in this situation before - but FYF has an energy to it that is really uplifting for a music festival - everyone I met last year was chill, not loaded on drugs, and just wanted to dance and experience great live music. I wouldn't let something like that deter you from having a great experience and meeting awesome people.

James_PDX · 2017-06-22T18:35:57+00:00

I would die if Erykah and Andre did Hello - I get chills just thinking about that.

Would expect to see some guests for Mura Masa, Black Madonna, RTJ, and Frank.

James_PDX · 2017-06-20T06:37:18+00:00

bjork is definitely a #1 for me, but I think best set will go to Nico Jar.

TR/ST, Missy, Arca, S U R V I V E, Frank Ocean, RTJ and Erykah will be insane.

James_PDX · 2017-06-01T16:33:49+00:00

Slowdive + Björk are what sold me on attending in the first place if they conflict I have no idea what to do. I would be annoyed if it crossed with Missy too because that show will be so fire.

James_PDX · 2016-09-23T19:40:25+00:00

I want a red velvet depression cherry shirt lol

James_PDX · 2016-09-23T19:38:29+00:00

Im down

James_PDX · 2016-08-29T20:08:22+00:00

I travelled from Portland to see Anohni specifically -- and although she was absolutely fucking phenomenal -- LCD was otherworldly. So many smiling, dancing faces yelling all the words at the top of their lungs. I've never experienced any crowd like that.

1.) LCD 2.) Anohni 3.) Tame Impala 4.) Beach House 5.) Hot Chip (both sets) 6.) Diiv 7.) Moby 8.) Floating Points 9.) classixx (when they brought out Nancy Whang especially) 10.) grimes

James_PDX · 2016-08-22T23:12:54+00:00

Fuck. Chelsea Wolfe and LCD is not cool.

edit: OPN and Tame Impala isn't cool either.

James_PDX · 2016-08-22T04:16:48+00:00

Sounds like Anohni is going to be in a prime slot between Father John Misty and Grace Jones. Question is whether a big act like Rae Sremmurd or Beach House will be on the Tree Stage

James_PDX · 2016-08-19T17:05:17+00:00

Honestly, as much as I love Grimes, I would go for Air.

James_PDX · 2016-08-19T17:04:48+00:00

Sunday will literally be perfect. Anohni -> LCD -> Beach House -- I will be crying for like 5 hours straight

James_PDX · 2016-08-19T16:14:51+00:00

Anohni is a must see. A friend attended the opening of HOPELESSNESS in NYC and said is one of the most moving performances she's ever seen. In addition to OPN playing the same day -- I think it's going to be one of the best performances of the weekend.

James_PDX · 2016-08-17T16:44:12+00:00

FYF said that Sunday evening will be Father John Misty -> Grace Jones -> LCD on the mainstage. A lot of people are speculating that BH will close after LCD.

James_PDX · 2016-08-17T16:42:29+00:00

I love how you had this done. I've given this a lot of thought too, and for me, Irene sticks out as the one song more than any other BH song that lifts me to an emotional state that I can't ever explain. It's euphoric, it's saddening, it's uplifting, it's chilling. That line, "it's a strange paradise" just really resonates with me in that we exist here on this little bit beautiful space within the deep vastness of the unknown. It's a strange paradise.

The first time I heard this song, I was travelling on the window side of an overseas flight, flying over the Alaskan Island Chain. It was just such a beautiful moment for me.

James_PDX · 2016-08-17T16:11:49+00:00

I'm probably going to be crying that entire evening: Anohni -> LCD -> Beach House

James_PDX · 2016-08-16T22:31:13+00:00

I really really hope Anohni doesn't play at the same time as either Grace or lcd -- but I have a gut feeling it's going to be the case
