Holly Herndon - Platform

When I First heard "Home" I checked out Hollys other stuff and wished there was an entire album that sounded like that track. Judging by the preview track (which is fucking rad) thats what this album should be. Comes out may 19th apparently.

New Album: https://hollyherndon.bandcamp.com/album/platform

Nice, looking forward.

This is on the album too, which I'm glad about:

Yeahm I love Chorus, Home is good too. Definitely giving this a try when it is released :)

I can't wait. I love Holly. I see that she's going to be playing in my state this month. I may have to go to that show.

well excited, she's proper wicked plus metahaven becoming her designers makes perfect sense, great combo

she's on the cover of the Wire this month as well. It's still surreal to think she was playing katabatik gigs in the forest only 2-3 years ago to where she is now. watching her trajectory has been pretty awesome

this and chorus are so much better than the album of her breathing. those two tracks are so killer. looking forward to this now

oh shit just listened to interference. this should be killer.

Perfectly pertinent.

Pre-ordered.

Chorus was my favorite track of 2014.

anybody heard this one :

probably my favorite

Home is excellent, love Chorus too. I didn't like her first album at all but this is shaping up.... except for all the feat. tracks. A bug bear of mine.

wow she puts a lot of work in her tracks,strangely her music is confusing me more then A_e.

going to see her live at the Donaufestival before Autechre

Scored this on tape recently; some top-notch long-form sound design. Too bad I got rid of the tape player in my car.. :(

this is great, I agree the first album wasn't amazing, though not bad, this is a big step up.

Not sure what to think fo the cover tho.

Whoa

^WICKED! I'm really looking forward to this

Chorus is a very good song.

Part of me is just a bit bothered by the blatantly cheap photoshop drop shadow effects, particulary in those gaps around her face. Creates a bothersome "glow" to me. There's no reason to use that, imo.

But I'll get over it. One day. Perhaps.

I did notice theres bits an old oil painting of clouds in the corners, so there's more than meets the eye at first. Now I'm wondering what painting they used. Maybe a Koekkoek

overall i just really like the disorientating effect the visual mish mash has. it's a fun psychedelic image that also caters nicely to having the artist on the cover nice and identifiable like. (also, i'm not too photoshop expert -like and not sure what drop shadow effects is really referring to so happy to play ignorant on this one)

hyper edited, cutup, sped-up vocals get tiring pretty quick. it also makes the music sound cheap and over-cluttered

Would have been awesome to be in her class, "Aesthetics of Experimental Electronic Music, 1980 to Today."
