but i guess this helps to define the genre. maybe handwriting is an indietronica album or whatever, but im definately not an indietronica artist. i think that will become apparent with each release |

Well here's the review, badly translated by me. Maybe WATMM's very own Nacmat could do a better job... An old PC, a microphone that they gave away with a Japanese language course and a low power amp have been enough for Canadian Connor Kirby-Long, alias Khonnor, to take pop to undiscovered lands. Well, that and a precocious wisdom that's inappropriate for a lad of 17 years. His previous EPs like "Grandma" and "I, Cactus" showed somebody to watch out for, but "Handwriting", his debut album, reveals genius. The first track "Man from Anthill" lays out the pieces, the emotional white-noise of Fennesz, the dispassionate passionate melodies of David Sylvian and the romantic angst of The Smiths or Bright Eyes - "Oh Jesus, won't you hold me?" you can hear Khonnor implore between beautiful sweeping digital errors (? glitch - BLECH?) - filtered by an extreme sensitivity that makes of the epiphany his Holy Grail (not sure about this, sounds Pitchforky - BELCH) From this sublime prologue until the farewell with a "Tattletalent (Encore)" which converts the fuzz into commotion, the memorable "Handwriting" sows incandescent vertiginous strikes at the base of a unique and intense conception of shoegazer pop, with glitch as an essential ingredient. Like Junior Boys with acne, like a mash up of Quigley's debut and "Venice" by Fennesz, his magical pop feeds off of the interference in order to provide a coherent sound track to a story, the life of Kirby-Young, of frustrated love, or incomprehension and introspection. Marked by bittersweet truth, "Handwriting" must be one of the most faithful sonic representations ever heard about that epoch of life in which one is too young to be an adult and too old to keep acting like a child. If you are still in that place, this could leave you breathless. |

WAIT until a native spanish speaker can translate it before giving up, I may have fucked the translation up something rotten. Though it does say like Junior Boys with acne. |

mmm pepitos are brilliant! the seeds that is thank you dicker it means quite a bit to me i just dont understand people stressing that the lyrics are about love and lust and shit. most of them arent even grammatically correct! daylight and delights lyrics are: "when i think that i am saved something happens that makes me feel otherwise and i cant feel the pain of something better could kill me" haha suckers |

sounds a bit Trent Reznor-y. "the memorable "Handwriting" sows incandescent vertiginous strikes at the base of a unique and intense conception" holy pitchforkmedia, Batman! |
||||||||
|

You know that Gwyneth Paltrow film "Sliding Doors" where, in a split second, her life goes two ways, well I'm the Trent Reznor that didn't make teenage angst masturbation soundtracks and instead went into translation services of highly dubious veracity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha ha! excellent! although I must ofcourse publicly deny to even knowing of such a film or even of this Paltrow-person. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i appreciate it dude, and next time you need a translation from asshole>english or english>asshole just give me a holler |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although the Reznor-y comment was about the quoted lyric: "when i think that i am saved something happens that makes me feel otherwise and i cant feel the pain of something better could kill me" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ahem INTENTIONALLY awful |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
alright then, u pwn Rezn0r. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry.. i'm at work, but here it is "Handwriting" must be never-heard sonic representation from the time in life whe you're too young to be an adult and too old to keep acting like a kid. If you haven't pass through that, it could leave breathless... that's what it says... |

Ah. I've been away so long I'd almost forgotten the futile arguing over sub-genres that goes on here at XLT. |

Irony in Indietronica, is nothing sacred? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, for the rest of the board is filled to the brim with all kinds of meaningful discourse. |
