This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. Copeland’s new song, “Night Figures,” can be streamed below via Billboard. The band’s also announced some new tour dates and there’s some more information on the new album, and its themes, up on their website: “We wanted to take all of the elements that made up our sound in the past and push those elements farther,” Aaron says. “So rock becomes more rock than we’ve been in the past. If we’ve taken elements of symphonic tones, let’s now be very symphonic. When we’re being electronic, be very electronic. We wanted to emphasize each element of sound harder, like an exaggerated version of Copeland’s sound. We could be each thing individually by pushing each facet of our art in a more focused way.” Feb08 – Austin, TX – Barracuda (Outdoors) Feb09 – Dallas, TX – Curtain Club Feb10 – Houston, TX – The Secret Group Feb12 – Atlanta, GA – Masquerade Hell Feb13 – Birmingham, AL – Saturn Feb14 – Nashville, TN – The Basement East Feb15 – Carrboro, NC – Cat’s Cradle Feb16 – Virginia Beach, VA – Elevation 27 Feb17 – Charlotte, NC – Amos’ Southend Feb19 – Lake Park, FL – Kelsey Theater Feb20 – Tampa, FL – The Orpheum Feb21 – Orlando, FL – The Beacham Mar23 – St. Louis, MO – Off Broadway Mar24 – Omaha, NE – The Waiting Room Mar26 – Denver, CO – Bluebird Theater Mar27 – Salt Lake City, UT – Urban Lounge Mar29 – Portland, OR – Bossanova Ballroom Mar31 – Seattle, WA – Neumos Apr02 – San Francisco, CA – Slim’s Apr03 – Los Angeles, CA – The Regent Apr05 – Pomona, CA – The Glass House Apr06 – Phoenix, AZ – Rebel Lounge Apr07 – Albuquerque, NM – Launchpad Apr09 – Lawrence, KS – The Bottleneck Apr10 – Minneapolis, MN – Varisty Theater Apr11 – Chicago, IL – The Bottom Lounge Apr12 – Detroit, MI – The Pike Room Apr13 – Columbus, OH – Skully’s Music Diner Apr14 – Toronto, ON – Lee’s Palace Apr16 – Boston, MA – Brighton Music Hall Apr17 – Philadelphia, PA – Theatre of Living Arts Apr18 – New York, NY – Gramercy Theater Apr19 – Washington, DC – Union Stage Expand - View Original
wow... not a step backwards by any means... if this and Pope are any indication of the feel of this album I am sold... sounds fantastic
this is a revelation of a song. can't wait to hear the whole thing. Reminds me of Son Lux and im here for it
Great song, but, this song is close to two years old. Buddy of mine went to their last tour and had VIP which they provided two song EP, one of them being Night Verses. Doesn't even sound like it was changed at all. Nonetheless it's Copeland and it's great and it's pre ordered and I'll be going quite a distance to the show and I'm pumped and and and
I mean it wasn't a widely released song so I'm cool with them including it, especially if they felt it fit the mood, vibe and sequencing. I basically have blind faith in these guys at this point.
i think the reason they didnt really distribute it widely is because they planned to include it on their next album. im ok with it, seeing as how it was kind of hard to find online (not impossible but it was scrubbed from youtube and a lot of other sites) and most people havent heard it
I like when Copeland rocks out. I know I'm probably in the minority here but I'd take some next level In Motion if possible.
Read the write up on their site! It sounds like they are trying to push every variation of their sound to the next level. Copeland on steroids if you will. It is exactly what I want from these guys and I know I say this in every Copeland post but I have a feeling this will an AOTY contender just based on the 2 songs, the write up, ([and Jason's comment :)].
In Motion might be my least favorite Copeland record, all things considered. It's still great, but everything from ESR has been next level, and somehow more next level with each release.
It's good but Beneath the Medicine Tree is by far my favorite. Also its a shame their cover EP isn't on Spotify.
I love the three record run from In Motion through YAMS, but it probably depends on the day as to which one is my "favorite."
I have a lot of great memories of the band from Medicine to Sunshine. I know the band isn’t really for me anymore so I’m happy others have embraced their other albums.
