Lately Kind of Yeah - Motor Grown-up (VULP-0226)

Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series.

For my ears, Lately Kind of Yeah and evocations of nature come packaged as one, accompanying or even transcending literal lyrical interpretations or impressions one might scoop from track titles. Melodies plod like footsteps on dunes; guitar riffs swirl through crunching distortion like leaves in a windstorm. Looping vocals become the benevolent mantra of waves rolling against the shore, especially notable in the release's centerpiece, "Zones" — let it wash over you.

originally released January 17, 2023

Hi Tiktaalik

and nothing bad ever happened to them ever <3 (zoom + ref under the cut)

what I think the season one archival staff would dress up as for halloween!!

Jon - would not dress up. he has a professional image to uphold !!

Sasha - I feel like she'd go with a classic, like maybe a witch or a vampire!! or something matching with Tim :)

Martin - probably wouldn't have the courage to do anything fancy, but after badgering from his coworkers (aka mostly Tim) he would go for one of the classics too, like a ghost/mummy/zombie?

Tim - would absolutely go overboard with something extravagant and lots of accessories, but also maybe not something actually getting too close to the supernatural. so like, a pirate? or a movie character? OR something RIDICULOUSLY spooky (specifically to annoy Jon lol)

alternatively:

a few days before halloween, Jon walks in on the archival assistants discussing how they're going to dress up. he frowns and tells them wearing halloween costumes is actually against the office dress code, as dressing in such a ridiculous way would be highly unprofessional.

he walks in on halloween to see all of them dressed up as him.

(and yes they absolutely deny it - them? dressing up for halloween against Jon's strict instructions?? they would NEVER!! they simply decided to all wear dress shirts, ties, and sweater vests on the same day by pure coincidence :))

oh no, I love them

(super quick doodles done between other stuff, there will be better things later I promise :')

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

I think I have to tell you that you're borderline genius.

I would consider it to be closer to borderline madness to be honest. A healthy person would not do what I have done.

new normal

Dan has been more touchy with Phil since their comeback, but I specifically feel like in the last few videos he’s been EXTREMELY touchy! The door is opening more and more🚪👀

yeah........ dan is soooo calculated is the thing. phil is more likely to be touchy without thinking about it too much, but dan is like... he's so hyper aware. when he's getting extra touchy you know it's on purpose, it's deliberate, they are Up To Something

Lately Kind of Yeah - Zozo (VULP-0225)

Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series.

Zozo is a unique work in the LKOY catalog, comprised of songs recorded as part of a weekly exercise. Balanced between crunchy distortion and frosty ambient elements, the flow of Zozo is reminiscent of the transition between a particularly hot autumn and crisp winter. Gentle serenity trades off with barrages of heavy guitar attacks. Various vocal textures are on display; sweet clarity, aggressive screams, and whispers. Guitar artistry is evident throughout, with kaleidoscopic freakout passages punctuated with more spectral instrumentation, perhaps the peak of LKOY’s achievement in instrumentation, which is saying a great deal for this dynamic, disciplined artist who has been part of the Vulpiano family for over a decade.

Words from the artist:

originally released September 20, 2021

Beginning at the end of December 2019, a piece of music was recorded every seven days over the course of seven months. Some recordings were omitted but tracks 1–16 remain chronological. Special thanks to David, Zachary, Ashley, and Marilyn.

i think i smell another miscommunication arc on the horizon

[puppyeared]

my stardew farmer ^_^ he doesnt have a green thumb for shit so he keeps animals and does mining

some tidbits i came up with while playing hehe

reclusive and doesnt really go out of his way to talk or visit people unless its an errand. but he also doesnt try to befriend others to get something out of it, so he has a very easygoing approach to making friends. on good terms with linus and sebastian since he runs into them most often.

if he respects or takes a liking to someone, he'll greet them with miss/mister (name). if you get close to him he starts using first name basis. if he doesn't like you, he'll refer to you by your title without using your name. only a few people have caught on to this.

the farm he inherited, Milky Way Farm, was the site of a meteorite crash and sometimes you can find shards of meteor debris littered around the farm (i picked the hilltop farm bc of this lol)

lost his sweater and pants a long ass time ago and doesnt have the time to look for them, so hes been working in his sleep clothes ever since

isnt actually grandpa's real heir to the farm... ;)

Hey so I'm not trying to be rude are anything, I'm just curious, how old are you??? Again I mean this just out of curiosity. BTW LOVE your work

Thank you so much! Hahah all good it doesn’t bother me and I understand the importance of transparency especially online. I’m 40 years old, which I guess in the grand scheme isn’t OLD-old, but it kind of is in comparison to the vast majority within the Rise community. Though I have pleasantly met a lot of fellow old school creatives, many more than I would have anticipated. The rest tend to consider me a cool auntie. It’s why I like to make my sona look like a little ol’ cat lady!
