The electronic GOAT of this generation
Nic's headlining set at Rewire festival last year was lowkey the greatest gig I've ever been to (and I've seen some acts). P sure he played the EP cuts too, and some crazy other stuff... Extremely hype for the album
He's asked for his own picture not to be associated with the project, instead requesting that Against All Logic be represented by "any picture of a military man holding a cellphone."

Damn i couldāve sent them a photo of my cousin with a similar photo i have saved
do you think it will sound like 2012-2017?
the 2 new tracks don't sound at all like the first album, but they are not on the second one so idk
2012-2017 was a legendary album. These new singles are some redditcore s***. 15 mins of clanging pots and pans

judging from the EP/the Mix/his set at Rewire, he's going into more of a deconstructed club/ experimental direction, less house. But what makes it AAL is that it's still dance music first and foremost, just crazy people dance music.
If that Beyonce flip from Rewire lands on the album

i'm in for that. it would be interesting if every AAL projects will be a take on different types of electronic music everytime
dunno if this was already widely seen by twigs fans but Time made a video about the MM title track and unsurprisingly she gives Jaar a lot of credit for bringing the song together and making some of the best parts (he appears in the video too and himself credits coffee for going crazy lol)
also someone recorded most of his interview at Rewire which I missed too!
gon listen to this later
I didn't know Jaar had Palestinian roots! There were references though I guess (Nazareth in one of the song titles for example)

And he made a film about Walter Benjamin's Klee painting his taste is awesome. Hope that lands online some time. Visiting a seminar on Benjamin's prose by an Israeli professor in two weeks.... Benjamin's writing was at its absolute best describing the Angelus Novus.
