Andrew McMahon Announces New Album; Shares New Song

Pre sale code for tour??

 

Digging the new song

 

I second needing that pre sale code.

 

I wonder what the track listing is. I hope it’s not just the 5-8 songs (like get on my wave or slow burn) that have already been released.

 

Pre Sale Code: CAMPWILDERNESS

Bought my tickets for Chain Reaction. Mind boggled by this.

 

Andrew at Chain would be a bucket list show.

 

Just got mine for chain reaction, can’t wait!

 

I would expect it to include everything released since Stars. Slow Burn is just a cover, and new years song/get on my wave were one-offs.

 

i wonder what package bundles he will have this time.

 

Nice, what night? I got Friday!

 

Got tickets for myself, wife, and younger daughter for Friday night. We had a great time seeing him at his 40th Birthday show in Anaheim, so this should be amazing. Love Chain Reaction.

 

I really don’t like being a hater but everything he has released since the first Wilderness record has been so terribly uninteresting to me. There have been some great songs here and there but I found the last album and these recent singles especially bland.

 

Same here! Such a great venue to see him at

 

I keep coming back to his Wilderness albums trying to find something but yeah the same thing happens for me, the only exception is High Dive.

 

Yeah that flowers album was very underwhelming. First was fun, second was alright, and by the third I was out. I was jamming SOCO this morning and that stuff still hits.

 

I can't find an official tracklist yet, but it looks like it will include a lot of the recent singles. Here's the artwork btw!

 

Whaaaat. I liked Upside Down Flowers so much more than Zombies. The first 4 tracks are great, with Blue Vacation possibly being my favorite AMITW track. House in The Trees is also up there with favorite wilderness track discussions. Everything Must Go didn't click for me at first but we saw it live and I really like it now. The rest of the tracks are up and down but those other 5-6 are so good.

 

Idk I just like all of it… SoCo, Jack’s, Wilderness… he always hits

 

i should revisit it, it definitely didn't hold my attention when it dropped, that's for sure, i remember just so many stuff coming out at the same time and i didn't go back to it.

 

I just find it very boring. Flowers was mostly mid-tempo pop songs that don’t do anything for me and I’m not a fan of the more modern pop sound he’s gone with on the Wilderness albums. I just don’t think he’s doing anything interesting with it. Most of it feels like very generic modern alternative music to me that you’d hear on any alt radio station in the country. It’s very boring, Imagine Dragons-type music to my ears.

 

I agree the last album didn't have any holding value. I can't tell you any lyrics from that record. I get what he was going for with Zombies but it still didn't feel right.

 

See I thought that about Zombies, and thought Flowers was a bit more "andrew-sounding" haha. Zombies definitely had "sounds like everything else on the radio" energy to it for me, probably why I couldn't get into it much

 

This.

 

I love all of it as well, very excited! The new singles don't grab me as much as the older songs used to, but it's understandable, I had an enormous connection with those. Also, I've just read the same artist has done the designs for the album art and for all the singles as well - to me Built to Last was the best with Skywriting and Lying on the Hood coming in second for good cover material. The LP design doesn't do it for me at all, but I've seen people in the comments lovin it already, so that's cool
