There's a music video coming soon, directed by Hiro Murai, that's basically just twigs sword-fighting.
Maybe modern is not the good word, but EP2 came out in 2013 and still sounds fresh and sophisticated (in it's song structures and beats).
Nothing personally since EP2 came close to that "vibe". I could say the same for Arca's &&&&& or the Entrañas mixtape, thought there's some very good stuff on Mutant.
Sure, I don't necessarily agree, but I see your point. I like when twigs gets weird and experimental. She's a really weird artist and has shown not just through her music, but also through her videos, that she has a lot of creative energy. Twigs has definitely turned more pop than electronic.
It has the microbeat energy of Vespertine for sure. Mary Magdalene and Daybed are 100% that
Yeah lmao I told my SO that the day the song came out.
this album is incredible. what an amazing year for music.
Just listened to the whole album. I'll have to give it a few more listens but I get what people mean by it having a very Kate Bush or even a Björk sound.
It's experimental in a very soft, raw way—melodic and haunting and not as sexually edgy as her EPs or LP1. I love it.

But does Twigs name drop the IRS and how she's gotta sell overpriced goods so his billionaire family can eat????
smh, Twigs doesn't know the real struggle.
On topic, shout out to Michael Uzowuru and his work with pop artists. His work with Frank is a wonder, so I'm glad to see him and Twigs linked up.
^^^^ and yea Rosalia track was disappointing but at least she's trying new things, I'll take that shooting for something different over samey sounding "bop"'songs all day
The album is fantastic, probably my favorite of the year. There's not a weak track on it, mirrored heart is the standout for me.
This is so good. I feel blessed. It may be a sad day for her, but it's a happy month for me.
I'm sorry, but Gaga could literally never.

Absolutely incredible. Twigs nailed her followup (though I'm slightly miffed she dropped the LP naming convention). In one of the profiles on her, the journalist mentioned Twigs would produce songs by adding everything and then methodically stripping non-essential elements away, and you can really hear it. Songs like "thousand eyes" and "cellophane" really show that minimalism off. In some ways, the production kinda reminds me of "blonde", where songs have their production stripped away in favor of Twigs filling that space with her voice in some form (barring "holy terrain").
In other words, it good. Please don't make us wait 5 years for a follow-up.
