/LGG/ Lisa Germano General

Hello! This is a thread dedicated to Lisa Germano: her discography, influence, lyrics, ... everything.
Thoughts on pic related? I think it’s very underrated. Not better than Geek The Girl (a conceptual masterpiece) or Slide (a divided mood between warmth and coldness, happiness and sadness,...)

I’m OP again!
If you want artists similar to her, I think you might like:
Cat Power
Nico
Red House Painters
Tori Amos
Juliana Hatfield

Do you think Lisa is the secret influence of any big artists?

Never heard of her, will check her out, just read through her wikipedia page and the shit luck she has had over the years has really rustled my jimmies.
Pretty brutal treatment of her by Corgan and 4AD.

Realised I do actually know her from doing Beside You with Iggy on American Caesar. Great song.

user you should get into her music. Try with Geek The Girl. It really is music worth listening to.

>actually acknowledging that lisa germano has albums that aren't geek the girl
first time i've ever seen anyone other than me do that, in all the years ive been here
respect

desu i would rate all of her first three full-length albums pretty much equally, theyre all perfect in their own little way
if i had to pick just one to call a favourite, moon palace would probably snatch it

I recommend you Sharon Van Etten, especially her last three albums. Will probably be right up your street Germano-user.

Moon Palace really is something else, it’s like a perfect lo-fi baroque pop album. The catchiest and most lighthearted her music has ever been.
“Guessing game, guessing, guessing...”

Hey, thanks for the rec. I’ll make sure I check it out :)

Moon palace is terrible.
I read an interview with her.
Apparently she was going to be on smashing pumpkins meloncolly tour.
Practiced all the songs on keyboard/synth, in rehearsal, Billy made her sing backup, because darcy didn't want to, and there were talks about her taking over bass because darcy was such a flake.
She was about to release love circus and she wanted to do a solo tour after she was done with the pumpkins, and 4ad wanted her to do some promo stuff.
Billy said he was ok with that, but as it got closer to the actual tour his lawyers gave her a thing to sign that said she wasn't supposed to tour or promote her stuff for several months after the pumpkins tour.
This is while they were a few days away from the actual tour and were all staying at the same hotel.
She told Billy she'd look it over and have her lawyer check it out.
That night someone (Billy) slipped a note under her door and that said she was fired.
Billy's a douche.

whoah based general
great album desu youtube.com/watch?v=jsE-_ZsJc3s

Really underlooked album, surely a different formula but still an efficient one. Before, it was the arrangements, instruments and lyrics that had the emotional control; now it’s herself. Her voice. I wonder if she’ll ever come back and release a new album.

Is "Frascilita" a real song? I've looked everywhere but the only place I've ever found that makes any reference to Frascilita is Geek the Girl.

Her music is fucking amazing
Grouper I think

>artist similar to her
Also, not really that similar, but sometimes I get Arthur Russell vibes from her music. Perhaps it’s the use of strings

bye bye little doggie makes me cry hard as fuck,I miss my dogs so much,they were always there for me

I Hate billy c

bump

i love a snot

bumping based thread

Apparently Scaruffi interviewed her at some point
scaruffi.com/interv/germano.html

So, what do you like about her music?
For me:
>sounds very 90s
>has a very American aesthetic which I dig
>the whacky instrumenta moments
>how baroque-like it is with strings and nice arrangements, while a the same time maintaining a rock-like edge
>her lyrics and tone paint the picture of a super real, down to earth woman who is strong but also decidedly feminine and not afraid or ashamed to show weakness

Im not very knowledable ,so the things I like are very simple and vague.
I like how dreamy the sound is in pretty much all of her records,for some reason very nostalgic too.
Her entire music catalog reminds me heavily of this song,even though they're noticeably different
>youtube.com/watch?v=6LB7LZZGpkw
And even though it feels nostalgic on its own right,I get some nostalgia for the darkwave spammer back then in the sharethreads,they loved to post the sh2 ost and lisa germano reminds me of this song in particular.

That’s pretty good, user. I should to listen to that soundtrack or perhaps eventually play the game. Indeed sounds kinda similar to Lisa Germano
