are ya sure it's not too the same as mark fell to be "forward"? i mean, it's not as egregious as those Gabor Lazar records, but it's so spot-on teethin Mr. Fell's technique it often kinda might as well be Mark Fell samples dropped into more layer-y/conventional song arrangements

What's cool about Mark Fell is that his music could've actually been made 10, even 20 years ago. I think the existing listenership has changed their set of values to be more open to something as minimal and unadorned as what Mark Fell does - people's listening has gotten more patient and the novelty of maximal digital music (say Richard Devine, Autechre etc) got enough play that the simplicity of Fell became extremely appealing. So what's "forward" or refreshing or whatever about isn't about utilizing new tools that haven't yet existed or making a crazy synthesis of various styles or creating a complete novel music vocabulary but making music that works extremely well in this particular moment. That's not to say this isn't taking Mark Fells style and doing something else with it; it haven't even heard it. Just an insight re: Fell that I wanted to share. The first Second Woman release sounded pretty good to me, I particular liked the melodic sheen on it that wasn't corny or "epic".

by "epic" I mean like the fist-pumping, determined, slightly melancholic, festival sized emotion that I hear in stuff like Nils frahm, Clark, Max Cooper and a lot of the anthemic indie rock the kids like these days like Arcade Fire or something. kind of post-rock derived although it has reached car commercial popularity. turns me off of a lot of current music that could be described as melodic. not Second Woman. they are on the right side of history.
