Sophie was just someone I was getting into. Their final CD was brilliant. I had it on repeat. It saddens me that we won't be hearing more from someone that gifted. It's good to know they have inspired others.
Yes the entire songs is like a classy ethereal song about sex, the way she says Billions in the second chorus and almost moans it, and the broken yet connected lines especially “salty flavour, lies like a sailor but he loves like a painter” lol
this album is soooo good, very experimental and adventurous which is definitely not for everyone but it’s definitely become my one of my favs of all time
I've been following Caroline since her Chairlift days and I'm just obsessed with where she's at right now. I'm in love with everything she's doing, lyrics, sounds, visuals, she's such a complete artist. I can't really choose between Pang and this álbum, they're both perfect.
Obsessed with this video, it made me even more excited about the album. Caroline is really the unhinged fairy nymph tropical rustic blueprint that we needed in our lives!!!!
Love this album 10/10. As I was listening to it over and over, the main hook melody from Pretty in Possible is interpolated in Smoke for the bridge. Insane ear for production!🤯❤
I feel so stupid listening to this album bc I don’t understand the lyrics but this video really helped me break it down and I really like how you interpret things!
I loved Pang, and was so eager to see what Desire had in store; it’s even more amazing than I had hoped. 🖤 Getting this record and Ocean Blvd in this same season feels so special.
I feel like you'd be interested to know that the first verse (grimes' part) in Fly To You is the same melody as the bagpipe solo at the end of Blood and Butter :)
Obsessed with the album 💞💛 also if you need something else that's crazy to listen to would love to see you react to Holly Herndon's PROTO album. The only other artist that blew my mind like she did was Arca. Very experimental and futuristic sounding.
Luscent, I adore you!! You're the best! Do you think you could react to VÉRITÉ's new album Love You Forever?? I think you would like it, it's so great, the lyrics, the voice, the production, the melodies, everything is amazing!!
please react to grimes if you haven’t dived into her work yet!!! i have a feeling you’d LOVE Art Angels!!! great reaction btw, youre one of my fav (if not my #1 fav) reactors
This album is phenomenal. This will most likely be in my top 5 albums of the year, is not top 3. My personal favorites are Crude Drawing of An Angel, I Believe, Fly To You and Butterfly Net. They all have something special to keep me coming for more.
So sad that everyone totally loves the album but it just didn’t work for me. Beautiful voice and creative instrumentals, but something about the effects on her vocals or something threw me off the entire album.
Really? I personally loved it but each to their own. If your not a big fan of the crazy sound effects but still love her voice listen to her album Arcadia. (Released under her alias Ramona Lisa) that has a lot more acoustic elements to it.😊
I really love "Welcome to my island", "Sunset" and "Billions", but the rest... It is just strange and kind of structureless / weird in my opinion. 95 out of 100 on Metacritic, c'mon!?
@Hobby Musician Cam Multiple times because I wanted to love it, but it is really difficult to listen to it at once because it's kind of "unnormal". "Pang" is so much better and have more personality and quality, I really love the ethereal approach of it, it suits her so much more. Peace ✌️
I also thought it was structureless at first, but it clicked for me on my second listen. Although there’s so many styles they have a thread that ties them together, also thematically everything ties into “Welcome to my islands” idea of this escapist world. The entire album really feels like an insane island where she did “forget the rule, forget the friends, just you and your affection”. Either way, you picked very good songs to love, I hope the rest of the album comes around for you!
Check out this video with no cuts and my reaction to Björk's Post on Patreon nowwww www.patreon.com/luscent
Whaaa? Yayyyy
Caroline is a goddess. LOVED Pang. I’m still exploring Desire IWTTIY.
Funny thing though… Billions I swear is about … “man stuff.” Lol
Plus the video has the lil guys swimming around her. And the song title. Yeah
"i believe" is dedicated to Sophie and this fact breaks my heart so much every time i listen it💔
I KNEW it had something to do with her. It just sounds so much like her, and I knew there was a reason I loved it
Sophie was just someone I was getting into. Their final CD was brilliant. I had it on repeat. It saddens me that we won't be hearing more from someone that gifted. It's good to know they have inspired others.
Oh shoot I think you're right! I remember really thinking this was Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides Part 2 crossed with pang and trip hop from the 90s.
(look over the edge, but not too far) is literally the way sophie died 😭😭😭😭😭
given this i wish i liked the song more. hopefully it will grow on me
Billions = Sperms! (Clues: Salted flavor, Dead on arrival, children's choir) I know, she's just a GENIUS! Love this album! Loved your reaction!!
Holy shit it finally just clicked for me 😭
Yes the entire songs is like a classy ethereal song about sex, the way she says Billions in the second chorus and almost moans it, and the broken yet connected lines especially “salty flavour, lies like a sailor but he loves like a painter” lol
In her tour there were spermies on the background imagery.
Oh my god. It makes sense now
i love sperm
this album is soooo good, very experimental and adventurous which is definitely not for everyone but it’s definitely become my one of my favs of all time

The bagpipes in Blood and Butter are actually playing the melody Grimes is singing in Fly to You ;)
OMFG????
THANK GOODNESS I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. The different parts kept flowing into each other in weird ways while they were stuck in my head lmao
This album reminds me SO much of Imogen Heap. A lot of the vocals and beats on this album could fit in nicely on Imogen’s “Speak For Yourself” album!
She's the OG Caroline! haha
Yesss!!!
Obsessed with this video, it made me even more excited about the album. Caroline is really the unhinged fairy nymph tropical rustic blueprint that we needed in our lives!!!!
That was such an accurate description 😂
This album is the album that I have been waiting for all my life and for which I have lived
billions is just phenomenal
Crude drawing of an Angel feels like a song from Kate Bushs hounds of love Album ❤️
I thought the same - love both albums
Love this album 10/10. As I was listening to it over and over, the main hook melody from Pretty in Possible is interpolated in Smoke for the bridge. Insane ear for production!🤯❤

Pang: the plane album
Desire: the train album
Next is gonna be the semi-truck album
Or a bus album
My fave reaction you’ve ever done. ♡
Aw ❤️ I loveddd this album and was in a very good mood recording hahaa
If you watch the bunny is a rider mv you can actually see her doing that push in pull in the video lol
thanks for going through so elaborate and passionate. Caroline is ethereal!!
23:08 THIS SENT ME LOL
Yesss. I love how u talk about the songs . Such an iconic beautiful album
I feel like you'd be interested to know that the first verse (grimes' part) in Fly To You is the same melody as the bagpipe solo at the end of Blood and Butter :)
Obsessed with the album 💞💛 also if you need something else that's crazy to listen to would love to see you react to Holly Herndon's PROTO album. The only other artist that blew my mind like she did was Arca. Very experimental and futuristic sounding.
Your critical analysis on the lyrics was my fav part of this. I die for everyone's unique interpretations!
loved watching this and how much u connected with it! makes me enjoy the music more myself somehow Lol
Sufjan Stevens is another great experimental artist. Love his album age of adz
Oh cool!
Bunny is a Rider and Butterfly Net are my fave 😊
Lana fan here. Looking into Caroline. Need to see what you think about her songs
Oh I love her
Your so eloquent ❤
Album trifecta (3 best songs in a row): Sunset, Crude Drawing Of An Angel, I Believe ❤
I feel crude drawing of an angel, the word draw has another meaning similar to pull close. To draw close, draw breath, draw the blinds,
Anyone (Bush fans) hear a bit of Aerial in Sunset? I only base this on the brief snippet in this review.
Yes but really only because both songs heavily feature flamenco guitar (and because both songs are amazing 🤩)
Sunset is produced by sega bodega. That’s why it has that Latin American sound
Luscent, I adore you!! You're the best! Do you think you could react to VÉRITÉ's new album Love You Forever?? I think you would like it, it's so great, the lyrics, the voice, the production, the melodies, everything is amazing!!
please react to grimes if you haven’t dived into her work yet!!! i have a feeling you’d LOVE Art Angels!!!
great reaction btw, youre one of my fav (if not my #1 fav) reactors
Top stuff Dan stay safe.
Billions is the best of the best songs in the album and EVERY SONG is the best on the album.
29:33 caught me so off guard
Love your reactions.
Can you please do some reactions to Joanna Newsom?
Is it just me or there should be a Caroline x Rina Sawayama collab? 🤔
OMG PLEASE
We need a Nicole dollanganger reaction to heart shaped bed. The album
Ok. A few people have been confused about Billions. It’s literally about semen. Lol. Billion, Dead on arrival, salty sailor… etc.
This album is phenomenal. This will most likely be in my top 5 albums of the year, is not top 3. My personal favorites are Crude Drawing of An Angel, I Believe, Fly To You and Butterfly Net. They all have something special to keep me coming for more.
Actually in Billions she used a children's choir to do the last part
React Joanna Newsom🤗❤
I should comment on the album because it’s great but I’m using this comment to tell you that I’m shocked you’re in your early 30s 😆
Very early just sayin hahaa
Missed that Hopedrunk and Butteryfly are about death :( her father died
This Album is amazing, also I just discovered a new artist Called Bambi Baker and Oh My Goodness! Her album is sooo good! Maybe you can give it a try
Melanie Martinez has some snippets for her new album portals just in case you didn't know.
😮
So sad that everyone totally loves the album but it just didn’t work for me. Beautiful voice and creative instrumentals, but something about the effects on her vocals or something threw me off the entire album.
Really? I personally loved it but each to their own. If your not a big fan of the crazy sound effects but still love her voice listen to her album Arcadia. (Released under her alias Ramona Lisa) that has a lot more acoustic elements to it.😊
But the effects are actually just her normal voice, although ppl mistaken it for auto tune all the time, it’s actually a form of vocal flipping
I really love "Welcome to my island", "Sunset" and "Billions", but the rest...
It is just strange and kind of structureless / weird in my opinion.
95 out of 100 on Metacritic, c'mon!?
How many times have you listened to the album?
She is a industry darling and an artists artist which helps I think there is some very clever stuff going on which people miss, but what do I know.
@Hobby Musician Cam
Multiple times because I wanted to love it, but it is really difficult to listen to it at once because it's kind of "unnormal".
"Pang" is so much better and have more personality and quality, I really love the ethereal approach of it, it suits her so much more.
Peace ✌️
I also thought it was structureless at first, but it clicked for me on my second listen. Although there’s so many styles they have a thread that ties them together, also thematically everything ties into “Welcome to my islands” idea of this escapist world. The entire album really feels like an insane island where she did “forget the rule, forget the friends, just you and your affection”. Either way, you picked very good songs to love, I hope the rest of the album comes around for you!
I mean, you're objectively wrong about it being structureless lol.
