Good video ,really well done breakdown…... I really liked this album by Nell Smith w the awesome flaming lips influence. You are right Red right hand is superb
The drinking age in Canada differs by province. In Ontario where I live it is 19 but it is 18 in Alberta. Alberta is such a beautiful place I lived there on and off for a couple years but you are right Alberta is usually not thought of as an artistic hub. Looking forward to your review of Black Country New Road new song. I listen to other British post punk bands like: Black midi, Squid, The Fontaines, Idles and I have to say Black Country New Road is becoming a favourite. Keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed your review as always! I came into this album as a fan of the Flaming Lips, but having heard only a couple Nick Cave songs, so it's interesting to hear your comparisons between the originals and covers. Honestly, I was amazed how natural most of these songs sounded coming from Nell Smith. If I didn't know it was a covers album, I wouldn't have guessed. And it's cool to know you also prefer her version of Girl in Amber. When that single first came out, I looked up the original and didn't like it as much. Something about the lyrics feels like it really lends itself to Nell's sort of detached delivery.
Natural like a ton of robotic sounding auto-tune so she can stay in tune because she can't come close to hitting any of the notes? Nothing natural or human about it. Detached as in devoid of emotion is a good way to describe it, which the auto-tune certainly doesn't help as it removes human warmth and feeling from vocals.
I listened to this album twice tonight and I really liked it. Although The Kindness of Strangers didn't really work for me. But only having one song that in the end might still win me over being the only thing I didn't like about an album I would say is a pretty sweet deal. I think We Know Who You Are was the high point for me.
Not sure why you think it's normal for Wayne to randomly pluck an average 14 year old out of an audience and make an album with her. I questions his intentions since he's historically been into young blonde girls. The extreme amount of auto-tune on her voice indicates that she is not even in the stratosphere of being able to sing on key and then imbeciles in youtube comments compare her to grace slick who was a great singer. You are perpetuating the death of music by condoning rubbish like this. Worse yet you are possibly ignoring that a child might be in danger.
I didn’t particularly like a comment of yours about Chappelle in one of your other videos (Kanye DONDA most probably) saying something along the lines of “deserves to be cancelled”. If I misinterpreted you I’m sorry. If not I would like to know why and explain your thoughts on this matter. Thank you.

Hope you check out Arca’s projects. She’s got like four albums releasing in the next month.

This sounds like an interesting album. I will check it out.
I'm in Nova Scotia where the drinking age is 19.
Nell is from Fernie British Columbia not Alberta. Great work Nell very cool! #ferniestoke
According to a CBC article I read, it appears she is from British Columbia rather than Alberta. But maybe she moved since it was published?
apparently her parents moved to canada from leeds in england when she was five years old.
It's a cool album.
You should review Your Old Droogs new album space bar

The Flaming Lips did a superb job....but.....this very young female voice is very off and quite boring. Not impressed. RIP
You couldn't be more wrong imo,it's an excellent album rip nell
