I nearly had an aneurysm when the page loaded and all those numbers popped out at me. Jesus Christ.

Mononofu · Mar 15, 2012

I wanted to check this project out but never got around to it. Now is the best time I suppose.

Sadsic · Mar 15, 2012

just seems like dark-ish synthpop with a cool visual style

Shorty · Mar 15, 2012

the words 'pretentious' and 'shitty ass music' come to mind

The Interrobanger · Mar 15, 2012

I keep hoping there's something more here than just atmospheric synthpop with production values. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with it, just that it's been done so many times before and she adds literally nothing new to the formula.

MmmSkyscraper · Mar 27, 2012

But who was phone?

cyberheater · Mar 27, 2012

I've been listening to them for a while. I really enjoy the music. Very haunting. It's like listening to a dream.

RobotMafia · Mar 27, 2012

Yikes. That is pretty horrible.

Red Liquorice · Mar 27, 2012

I like some of it '; john' is quite catchy, but yeah it's all very pretentious - which isn't always a bad thing, but if it's pretentious AND tedious, well then we have a problem.

Crumpet Trumpet · Mar 27, 2012

I remember when Christina Aguilera fans thought iamamiwhoami was the secret "Bionic" project. Oh, if only they knew

Nice.

So other than these two positive posts,
What's the general consensus here? Iamamiwhoami too pretentious for GAF?

7echnicolor · Apr 10, 2012

I don't think anyone cares, but I'll post it anyway.
For those who have been following, they're releasing a new song/video every two weeks until the debut album 'Kin' comes out (June)

New video/song "In Due Order"

http://youtu.be/5AqU8FvTR3E

Lyrics:

We don't ask for anything
your lives could have been unaffected

We don't ask you to give all
It won't make us more
Than what is deflected

Can you see the scar
in the perfect sky
in the hills aligned
with a crooked smile
Oh, oh why

We don't ask for anything
your lives could have been unaffected

We don't ask you to give all
It won't make us more
Than what is deflected

HiResDes · May 7, 2012

Just discovered this today, it's almost too much to bear

cyberheater · May 7, 2012

kitchenmotors · Feb 2, 2014

I am in LOVE with her new song fountain. What a great video and pop song. Looking forward to the new material. The beach scene where she's dancing reminds me of Grimes. Grimes could never tho.

Why am I getting a username/password box popping up on my screen on this page? Some embedded image maybe?

For some site called fotpforums or something.

http://fotpforums.com/images/smilies/6qjx4w.jpg

This image, whatever it is, is what's causing it. Probably best to remove it?

edit - didn't realise the age of the thread, guess it wasn't password protected before.
