Vessel // Queen Of Golden Dogs (Tri Angle)


#1

Write up via RA gives some hints as to the direction of and inspiration for the album: https://www.residentadvisor.net/news/42538

I’ve got his first album but never picked up the second, though I remember it sounded interesting when I listened. Curious to hear if the whole album is going to be in the direction of this first track…

Will be out in November, tracks is pretty nice, a bit different: https://soundcloud.com/tri_angle_records/argo-for-maggie-1

major bummer; Order of Noise was incredible but this sounds like a soundtrack for an Indiana Jones fight scene or something.


#3

I’m a chamber music nerd and Punish, Honey had so many scraped, warped sounds from home-made instruments. I think this is gonna be mega for me.


#4

i am very excited about this. one track in particular…


#5

never heard this but the dynamics of this are insane. whoever mastered this needs major props

thanks for the post tho, never heard this dude before but i really like it


#6

I thought topping Punish, Honey would be impossible but I can now confirm to be wrong.
I wasn’t really impressed with Argo when it came out, but Paplu absolutely blew me away. I cannot remember the last time I gasped at a piece of music, by the end I was clapping like a demented seal with my mouth open.
The video for it is out, creepy as expected.

^ oh fuck yeah this is grand


#8

listened to this all the way through on headphones last night and it’s so immense. i haven’t heard anything quite like it, amazing


#9

gave it a proper listen this morning. i think it bears many of the signature marks of his earlier work (in particular, that wild, off-kilter, feverish energy of Punish) so I’m not totally out on his so-called “new” sound. agree with @chalravens with the resemblance to Holden’s Inheritors in certain parts. all in all, really interesting work as usual…just wish I didn’t have to sit through the heavy-handed chamber flourishes to get to the weird electronics…the two elements don’t complement each other as much as they could (a la 0PN), in my completely subjective, humble opinion.


#10

ok, have totally come around on this record. killer up and down. a significant accomplishment.


#11

haha, love it when people come back just to say they’ve changed their mind

i can only imagine the buzz you’ve got off it in the interim

isn’t Paplu just mind-melting


#12

“Paplu” is the centerpiece for. sure. and, yeah, I’m a grouch, just constantly on high-hype-alert (how can you not be), but I like to think I’m a reasonable person in the end :man_shrugging:
