Tree City's is a top tier DGD album for me after first listen. Might be second only to Instant Gratification for me.

 

After I'm done with final exams, I'll try to get around to extracting the audio from the 10 year anniversary show in Sacramento, then putting it up for download on here and reddit.

 

Wait, how are you listening to the album already? Isn't it out friday?

 

It leaked (a lot of people already got their pre-orders). It's on kindom leaks if you want to find it.

 

Ahh ok - i'll just wait until I get it on iTunes tbh (unless DoaS pops up on youtube or something!)

 

Does anyone know who plays 2nd guitar on the album?

 

I think someone on the Dance Gavin Dance subreddit uploaded the whole thing to YouTube, don't know if it's been taken down by rise or not yet though.

 

Josh Benton - guitar on tracks 1-7 and 10-12
Martin Bianchini - guitar on tracks 8 and 9

 

sick, Josh is a cool dude. I can't remember, was he involved in the writing/recording of IG, or had he left by then?

 

Pretty sure he left before they started recording it.

 

Tree City Sessions is out!

I'm really, really enjoying this album. I feel like it breathes life into a lot of the older songs. This is shaping up already to be my favorite DGD album.

 

Tree City Sessions is so good.

 

gotta wait until I get home from work to listen

 

I'm honestly blown away by Tilian's performance on Thug City. So many dimensions of his voice used in one song and his lower notes are spectacular.

 

Can't wait to listen

 

TCS is very good. Not without it's flaws, but a fun listen for sure - Tilian the standout performer IMO.

 

Tilian sounds fantastic. I can't understand why some people don't like him in DGD. He's an incredible vocalist and the way his and Jon's vocals contrast eachother sounds so good.

 

Tree City is excellent. I totally forgot Will screams in Tree Village haha

 

Tree city is really impressive. Idk how much after recording is done to the music for an album like this, but I was genuinely impressed by Tilian's take on older songs.

 

I've listen to Tree City so much these past few days and I think it might become my favourite DGD album. It's just so good.

 

I dig the live album. Pretty cool setlist. I wouldn't mind that as their setlist from here on out.

 

Tree City Sessions is fantastic... Tilian kills it on vocals, and the raw production makes this band sound better than ever before.

 

Yeah. I have listened to Tree City Sessions about three times already. I enjoy it much more than I expected to.

 

I'm blown away by how good this sounds. Possibly dumb question: what is it during the recording process that makes a recording sound, well, not live? Na mean? This album gets pretty close but you can tell it sounds subtly different.

 

Usually the instruments recorded separately, which makes it easier to mix since there's no other sound bleeding into each separate recording. Vocals are usually layered too, to sound bigger and fuller, but Tree City makes me think Tilian doesn't really need that. Haha
