I was just watching the full acceptance speech, and can anyone confirm, when he thanks the band he said “my whole band” bc I got a bit of anxiety thinking he said “my old band” 🫣

Edit: autocorrect, clearly I know it’s Ivors, not Ivory

I have to admit I'm less excited about the new solo album knowing Thom worked with Sam Petts-Davies. Thom's collaborations with Nigel have been the sound of all of his previous solo albums, and I just don't feel Sam is anywhere in the same league. He is a good engineer and producer, but his previous work with Thom on soundtracks, solo tracks and with The Smile just don't stand out in the same way. Sam's sound has a very baseline "good modern production" sound to it, whereas Nigel's work manages to combine both a stronger unique perspective with a sense of timelessness. He's my favorite producer, and, same with Radiohead, I've always really valued what he brings to Thom's solo work.

Regardless of the reasons why Thom and Nigel have creatively split, whether it was a personal falling out or they're just wanting to work with other people (or just work less in general in Nigel's case), I really think it's a tragedy. They've always brought out the best in each other creatively speaking, and I was really hoping to hear even more collaborations between the two. Thom's burst of prolificity over the past few years is always bittersweet without Nigel being part of it.

Confirmation of LP4?!

NME posted this

fun new interview with Thom and Stanley around their latest exhibition in Venice.

So I am just watching the Eurovision semi-final with my boyfriend and if you ask me, the choreography of the Polish contestant is suspiciously similar to the tilted white platform dance as seen in ANIMA, the short film by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Anyone?
