Andy Stott - Too Many Voices

great album from start to finish, very cohesive and samey yet never boring.

Butterflies in the context of the album is amazing.

ya, really enjoying this

This track Butterflies. Not much to say. I really have to be careful before I'll start to hate this one because of listening it too many times in a row. Let it be my track of the month.

Certainly a more subtle Stott album - there are no "bangers" as with previous efforts but I can definitely hear the Kraftwerk / shoegaze influences he spoke about in the interviews.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'd never heard this artist before. Judging from earlier comments, I wouldn't like his earlier stuff but this album is good. 'Butterflies' is lovely.

"See what 'appens, should be or'right"

I could listen to this track alllllllll daaaaayyyyyyy.

This is the banger on the album fletcher!

I think I appreciate Faith in Strangers more after listening to this record. How It Was is classic Stotter right there. Either way, he has some brilliant synth chords on all of his albums, very post-ravey, melancholic city dwelling, soul impeaching music.

^ that's wicked.

Butterflies and New Romantic are two of the best tracks on Too Many Voices. I hope this is the direction he will continue with. I don't find his earlier stuff to be very listenable at all.

this + the crunchy distorted beats on the one hand, vs the clean floating synths and vocals on the other = tha real magic

Yeah so I am probably the last person on WATMM to give this a proper listen (fuck off, I'm getting old) but this album is really getting under my skin. Got me thinking all kinds of whimsical thoughts about gain staging and shit. I don't know his back catalog at all but now I think I want to listen to all of it. I don't really care if it sounds nothing like this. 

it sort of doesn't (the immediately preceding one does) and you definitely should.

do it.

Listening to this record again today and I still LOVE it. Class Mr Stott.

I love all of his albums so far. I'm not in the camp of thinking he's getting worse. I love what he's doing. Probably time for a little binge.

He is about due for a new one!

Yeah, I'm deffo more in the camp that he's refining his sound...not getting worse.

Bring on new material then! 

Passed Me By / We Stay Together is still his apex imho, though I like the trajectory he's taken since.  Would like to hear something sans-vocals next time around but I doubt that'll happen given his success with the current formula.
