Don't Listen to Robert. It's NOT All Gone!
Ha! Take that all you doubting doubters! The Cure are back with the REAL finishing saga of the long promised Pornography-Disintegration-“X” Trilogy. Don’t tell me it was Bloodflowers. Bloodflowers was great for “more” Cure, but it wasn’t “new” Cure. It was a distillation of their strengths but it was lacking a brilliant cohesive vision and its own unique creative spirit.
Songs Of A Lost World, meanwhile gives us a whole new Cure experience. Pornograpy was the angst-ridden teenage tantrum, Disintegration was the mercurial, ups & downs of being a young adult , and SOALW now skips THREE decades and our Imaginary Boys have gone all (cats are) grey. Matured & introspective. Sitting in an armchair surrounded by various pill bottles, tissue boxes, medicinal tinctures, & half-read books looking back because there’s nothing to look to. “It’s all gone” Robert Smith wails on the appropriately titled “Endsong.” The ironic thing is he’s wrong! Dead wrong! It’s not gone at all. THIS is easily the most alive and fresh they’ve sounded since Disintegration. On SOALW Robert paradoxically spins his personal grief into gold.

I am both big and small
It’s weird. Some albums just feel like they've been with you forever. As if you've packed them in boxes. Taken them from place to place. Shitty apartment to shitty apartment. Unpacked said boxes and arranged them on your inner shelves just so. Before even calling the cable guy. (Ok. Maybe AFTER calling the cable guy. Gotta watch my Celtics! BUT they're definitely out of those moving boxes before that dude ever shows up! Rolling Eyes Brick wall > )
Lechyd da is one of thse albums. Somehow it’s an old friend even though it’s barely a year old. By an artist, Bill Ryder-Jones, who I only had cursory knowledge of before. It’s closest relation, as far as I can figure, are those mid-90s Spiritualized albums. The songs seem to pull the trick of doing opposite things at the same time. Making the world feel both big and small. Incredibly beautiful and incurably sad. His voice, so plaintive and pure. Sad but not hopeless. Beaten up but not beaten.
Lechyd Da creates an insular world. A world where you and your fiction-romance soul mate sip hot cocoa under blankies while sharing inside jokes about all the phonies OUT THERE. A world that doesn’t need anyone else because the two of you are the world. And yet deep down, at the same time, you know it’s all just a fever dream. That that world does not exist. Will never exist. Even though it should. It really, really should.
A gamechanger essentially. One of those albums that had me perusing and unpacking Bill Ryder-Jones' entire back catalog. Highly recommended and perhaps my AOTY.

'24 Albums: Millennial Dread
Aka The Future’s NOT so Bright, BUT u Still Gotta Wear Shades
Being a young adult used to be so exciting. The sky seemed the limit. Songs like "The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" by Timbuk 3 in 1986 actually resonated. It felt like there was no where to go but UP back in the eighties when I was growing up.
Now with global warming bringing us natural disasters of biblical proportion seemingly by the week, and the “responsible” adults in the room doing nothing about it except continuing to line their already gilded pockets, millennials wonder if they even should have kids. It’s not delusional or paranoid but rational to see that we’re headed to a tipping point where even water will be fought for and scarce. And again, the older adults in the room just don’t care since they only care about getting theirs. It’s enough to just make any millennial sigh in exasperation. What are they supposed to do? How can they plan for a future that quite rationally cannot exist. The world of tomorrow will not be like the world of today. It’s quite as simple as that.
Marika Hackman’s Big Sigh woke me up to how millennials like her must feel about all this. A general malaise and dread that cannot be fully articulated. A malaise and dread that’s just there. That can’t be fought against or rationalized away because it’s both too big and all too real. Too beyond your limited powers to even comprehend as you struggle just to pay the rent and find a little love, a little relief, from a civilization that surely is headed to a tipping point. So she focuses on what she can. What's in her power. Take some vitamins. Avoid caffeine. You know. The basics. And, of course, deliver us the album of the moment. That moment between the past and the future. The moment of millennial dread. [First added to this chart: 01/13/2024]
