On first listen it is extremely dense and good, Ballad of the Costa Concordia is an immediate standout.
Okay, so this album is long as hell - it really does feel like eight hours - but holy shit it really is something else, especially going into it completely blind. Cosmic Hero
How an indie rock band’s well-intentioned homage became a $50,000 mistake This is crazy. It may have been posted already but I just read it.
This is definitely one of the years best. Been listening a lot the past few days. Need to dive into his older stuff more/see him live in a proper setting.
That is ridiculous. But I hadn't heard of this band before reading that article this morning and now I've been listening to Something Soon and Drunk Drivers for basically 5 hours straight.
tbh I am kinda glad this album leaked when it did because who knows if we would hear the original Just What I Needed otherwise
hey, i'm super late to the party on this album / band but is there anyone in here that can point me to the original version of Just What I Needed? All the youtube links i found have been taken down.
How was I supposed to know how to not get drunk every Thursday, Friday, Saturday And - why not - Sunday? ...YEP
This album is fucking bonkers good. Didn't really hit me until this listen. Every song is just connecting.
And they're playing at one of my favorite venues (one way smaller than I figured they'd be hitting here) in town in a month. I'm on board with these guys and DIDNT miss them coming to town. That's so unlike me.
