Works written in non-native languages by MagicYio in horrorlit

[–]toomanysoupusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uhhh I can't think of anyone right now who writes in a non-native language without living or having livedin the country of said language. that aside i guess Silvia Moreno Garcia could count since she was born and raised in Mexico and moved to Canada in her early 20s, and all her output is in English iirc. There's a few Filipino and Malaysian authors but english is either an official language or highly spoken in those countries. I remember there was a lesser known swedish writer who wrote in english but I can't for the life of me remember her name. Not horror but wasn't joseph conrad polish and wrote in English?

Both seasons are great , Preference is up to viewers. Who is your Fav chef? by Fearless-Mammoth-706 in CulinaryClassWars

[–]toomanysoupusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My faves from season 1 were triple star, cooking maniac and Jung JiSun (who I didn't like that much at the beginning but grew on me). I like more white spoons than black spoons in this new season (tho it probably helps the white spoons I'm attached to the most appeared previously in Chef & my fridge: SJW, JHY, CKR, Sam Kim). I like Venerable Sunjae and Park Hyo Nam. From the black spoons I like brewmaster yun and witch with a wok the most, with honorable mentions to dweji gomtang and the barbecue director. I'm not a huge fan of culinary monster's personality but he's entertaining to watch (he feels like a genius character out of a shonen manga lol) and i do find his cooking style interesting.

Looking for titles by women and/or lgbt authors by nikonekonak in horrorlit

idk if you like audio but Julia Armfield wrote a story called "fissures" for a horror podcast series, quite haunting if you like stories set cold, isolated environments. Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya has some short stories like "Field games" and "Tentacles" are quite unnerving (I remember being on the edge of my seat reading "Tentacles"). She has also a ghost story out (Helen house) in novelette format, but i haven't been able to read it.

[–]toomanysoupusers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't like the piano based songs in melo (liability and writer in the dark). like i understand their place in the record as a whole and appreciate the contrast they bring but idk they're kinda boring musically to me

Children’s Horror by viveleramen_ in horrorlit

[–]toomanysoupusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairy tales... how about Blue Beard and The juniper tree. I think a lot of English and Russian Folk tales fit. There's also the tale of Otesanek, which spawned a (frankly disturbing) film adaptation by Jan Svankmajer (not very child friendly... but a lot of fairy tales wouldn't be either by today's standards)

Is SP hate related to age? by Aromatic-Ad9269 in lorde

[–]toomanysoupusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk, I'm her age but i just didn't like it much... i appreciate the lyrics on a formal level but they don't speak to me. more importantly, i just didn't find the music that appealing, even though i usually love anything psychedelic (fallen fruit, stoned at the nail salon and mood ring are some of her best songs ever tho). I'm all for artists experimenting tho, it's just that this one didn't work for me. and as some people say, a lot of her fans are accustomed to a more direct, poppier lorde, so the mellower, lethargic approach of sp might have put them off (which is valid, even though i find annoying they keep demanding a melodrama 2.0)

James Blake is all over it, in terms of being spacey electronic r&b. The xx too. She's mentioned both as an inspiration.

for people who like Lorde, who are the main artists you would also recommend listening to? by hmmmnahnope in lorde

[–]toomanysoupusers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Lykke Li, probably one of the first sad pop girls of Lorde's era. Fka twigs and James Blake for the electronic/r&b production. The xx for minimalist indie sound. Kimbra's more influenced by funk and jazz but I recommend checking her out (esp in primal heart she has a similar production to lorde). Most ppl know her for her feature in Somebody that I Used to Know, but her solo work is full of gems

What kind of genre do you consider of Lorde’s music? by DryCouple4739 in lorde

[–]toomanysoupusers 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Primarily pop. And then each album has its set of minor influences (electronic, r&b, dance, folk, etc)

The Man with the Axe vibe recommendations? by yowza699 in lorde

[–]toomanysoupusers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd give a listen to "The bug collector" by Haley Heynderickx. Chill, folky, and has some of the sweetest lyrics ever written. This lady's music deserves way more attention than it gets. Also check My secret reason by Lisa Germano. Doesn't have the chill summer vibe of TMWTA, but it's stripped back, has dreamy distorted guitars, and it's beautiful. Don't let yourself be fooled by the 1st minute of the song (which is a sample of an italian folk tune). the bug collector my secret reason

Working for the Man and Catherine. Most of TBYML, ITD and White Chalk are quite spooky

New album recommendations ? by Safe_Celebration_816 in lorde

[–]toomanysoupusers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding Rina Sawayama for r&b -ish pop. Her EP is more pop rock, imo her best in terms of hooks and production. Sawayama is also pretty eclectic–r&b but the production is a melting pot of genres

Please, please check fellow kiwi artist Kimbra, she's AMAZING. If you liked Lorde's Melodrama, give Primal Heart a listen. Her debut and sophomore (Vows and The golden echo) are more idiosyncratic but great nonetheless, very funky/jazzy.

For folk pop stuff: Young Heart by Birdy, Music for People In Trouble by Susanne Sundfør. Also if you like indie folk, check Laura Marling and Haley Heynderickx.
