LP version. Includes 7". When you make a record that doesn't conform, expect to divide opinion.
Like Weather
was released in 1998, on Rephlex -- run by
Grant Wilson Claridge
and
Richard D James
-- an often great label that had a following largely made up of
Aphex
-logo wearing fanboys who couldn't quite deal with electronic music made by a girl -- let alone one that used vocals. Everything those lads couldn't fathom about
Like Weather
is essentially what makes it untouchable; one of the greatest, most effortlessly esoteric pop albums ever made, not in the lineage of IDM or trip-hop, genres it has so often been awkwardly lumped in with, but something else that can't quite be categorized -- even 22 years later.
Like Weather
echoes the world-building energy of
Prince
's
Sign "O" The Times
(1987) -- every track is a self-contained universe all its own, there are no rules or conventions -- it's full of hooks, but also insular as fuck, the production is all over the place and it still sounds like nothing else (although if you're into the
Mica Levi
-produced
Tirzah
album (2018), know that this here is the aesthetic, spiritual blueprint). It feels analog, then digital -- it's R&B, but also baroque music box, drone pop, experimental, electronic, junglist -- attempting to define it is like trying to cup mercury in the palm of your hands; it'll just find something else to slide into. Newly remastered by
Rashad Becker
; cut by
Lupo
