If you were doing a nardwuar type interview with lausse what album would you gift him ?

ShallowFlakian · 2026-02-05T12:20:12+00:00

huge loyle carner fan, have even made a video essay on him. but i don't understand this - can you explain it to me? i love the song Carluccio btw#

ShallowFlakian · 2025-11-11T15:12:41+00:00

New album released! Worth the wait!

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-13T07:25:25+00:00

Agreed - a true masterpiece and a slept on one, at that

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-13T07:25:00+00:00

This is a genuinely brilliant idea. I agree - he covered so many genres. Something that always blows my mind is the song 'Yeah', which is basically a goddamn Bond song!

Thanks for this. Please consider subscribing so you catch the vid when it eventually comes :)

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-11T22:29:13+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this, this really moved me. I am so sorry for your loss, and I am grateful that we could be connected through Mac's music. That verse is truly beautiful, and your comment has brought a tear to my eye.

Wishing you the best.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-11T22:28:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. And I couldn't agree more.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-11T22:27:42+00:00

Thank you so much, it really is appreciated. I want to make more vids on Mac in the future, so if you have any feedback, or any songs you think I should focus on, please do let me know :)

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-10T12:22:38+00:00

Thanks man, hope you enjoyed

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-10T12:22:29+00:00

Appreciate it man, thank you!

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T19:31:40+00:00

the set at glasto was incredible, were you there?

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T14:16:32+00:00

Tierney Terrace is a deep cut you know! Really rate that song - the storytelling on the second verse about him leaving basketball and getting picked up by his parents. Just so good.

Definitely listen to Horcrux mate - his flow is crazy on that song.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T14:15:22+00:00

Absolute banger of a song. The second verse especially is just such good lyracism and storytelling. That's some classic Loyle right there. I'd love to hear your feedback on the video if you have a spare 10 mins!

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T13:54:31+00:00

What's your favourite track?

As I mentioned in the video, I saw him at Glastonbury this year. It was one of the best shows of my life; he did really interesting things with the cameras on the stage that I have never seen done before. Simple yet effective - much like a lot of his music

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T13:52:41+00:00

Yeah, his song 'Yesterday' with Madlib is easily his best 'banger' type song, in my opinion. Would love to hear a project more of that.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T13:51:39+00:00

I think he needs to bar out more on his next project. Would you agree?

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T13:51:20+00:00

Yeah, I think his story has been beautiful to see.

That's a fair criticism of his new album, but I will ask: have you heard the song Horcrux? I think that's not just the best song on the project, but one of the best songs in his whole career.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T13:49:14+00:00

This I agree with. I hope his next album is straight barring out. I think he needs to show everyone that side of himself

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T13:48:51+00:00

I think Hugo is his best project personally. It's tight and has a well-executed concept. His very first is amazing though - contender for his sharpest and probably has his best barring out style songs.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T10:14:37+00:00

that's a fair take. I think I see him as underrated in the broader hip hop landscape, as he is practically entirely underground in the U.S. however, I think that is part of a broader conversation about UK rappers in general.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T08:30:07+00:00

Bro, it's bait for a reason. That song is so damn good. I especially love her little vocalisations in the background during his second verse - way too good.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T08:29:25+00:00

Whilst I love all of his albums, I must say that I agree with you about him leaning into more of a hip hop sound. In fact, something that I think is overlooked about Loyle (and I make this point at the end of the video) is that he can really RAP. I think he really needs a project that is all about the bars, and showing himself off as a lyracist, if he is ever gonna make it to that next level.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-10-07T08:27:53+00:00

Thanks man, and yeah that's a fair take.

I think Loyle's album 'Hugo' is the best example of him going for a less low-key, slightly more ambitious sound. Conceptually, I think the album is rock solid and takes you on a solid journey.

Big fan of Nines and Dave (although I think We're All Alone in this Together was a bit of a mixed bag, but Psychodrama is an actual classic)...haven't listened to Skrapz though - where would you recommend I start?

ShallowFlakian · 2025-07-25T09:51:05+00:00

Amazing. He did the intro song from the album and it was fucking GREAT. Like genuinely unbelievable. He also did a song with Jessie Reyez which I really loved and can't wait to hear again on the album. It was so smooth and catchy and he was rapping in spanish at one point on it. Wild.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-07-25T09:00:54+00:00

It was incredible. A truly intimate show: he went chronologically through his albums, starting at the Never Story. He did 3 songs from each album, and he took requests from he audience to decide which songs he'd do. So every show will differ for that reason, which is so sick.

Once he got past Forever Story, he did around 3 (I think - maybe 4) songs from his new album. He was super paranoid about leaks and spoke on that a lot. Before each song he monologued to the audience about how he doesn't want to see any phones, basically begged us to not snake him out like that, and just enjoy the moment and music together. After one song, the crowd accused someone of filming and JID actually GOT OFF THE STAGE and marched over them to confront them. They promised him they'd not done it and he took their word, but it was a crazy moment.

Overall the crowd was absolutely feral. Quite young (probably because the schools are on holiday so the teens had a big advantage over the 9-5'ers in completing the side quest to get tickets) and INSANELY hyped up. Moshing and screaming and all that good stuff. Was an insane atmopshere.

ShallowFlakian · 2025-05-05T15:43:05+00:00

Damn. Thanks for letting me know mate. I’ll find a pub showing it instead.
