    Thought I’d make a thread for these guys cuz I’m really digging their new song after not being into their last EP at all and IIRC we had a thread for them at AP



    Hopefully the next album sounds more like this

    Definitely in for it. I love about 2/3 of both their albums, and really hope that this is the one where they get a cohesive product. I know they all write, and sometimes it feels like they're grabbing the best songs each of them puts in, rather than writing together for a collective whole. I've taken tracks from the first to records adn combined them, and the product is absolutely one of my favorite albums. But between the 2017 EP and Hands Dirty and Do You Ever Dream, I feel like we're in for something special.

    The rivalry is back on



    Wow it is almost unrecognizable that this is the same band that did “Bottom of the River.” Not necessarily in a bad way because this is a solid pop song

    Per their e-mails, new album announcement coming in the next two weeks-ish? Wonde whether they're releasing the full album right now (mixed with singles/ep over the last 2 years, which would be a seriously good record) or whether these are all b-sides? Either way, I've been intentionally not listening to their most recent stuff just in case it's all part of a record.

    it's honestly very confusing. I have given each one at least one listen, just because they might be standalone singles? But yes its weird if these are all from the album. Most of them have been pretty good though!

    I feel like if we took these and added in Hands Dirty and the other singles from last year + the ep from 2017, it might be their most cohesive record yet? Their albums have always felt a little too long and a little disorganized to me. Really hoping this is the one and that it follows the Long and Happy Life sound. I know they got big off Bottom of the River, but I'm always drawn more to their blue eyed soul/pop/country stuff.

  14. irthesteve

    formerly irthesteve Prestigious

    Oh, this is like, the 3rd version of this song for some reason

    "These will not be on an album, they will exist as they are, 7 singles for your listening pleasure. But in terms of another album, do stay tuned is all we can say! "

    Oh, that's interesting.
    I may still play around with them and make myself a delta rae album. We'll see.

    Yeah it seems like playing these tracks in an EP type thing is probably gonna be the easiest way to digest them in the future!

    Going to throw them in with the stand alones from 2018 and maybe the four track ep from 2017. If I come up with a tracklist, I'll drop it in here.

    Here's what I'm working with now. I love it, but think it might need to be trimmed down a bit...
    A long and happy life
    Heart won't break
    If I loved you
    I moved south
    Walk with me
    Ain't love
    You can tell him
    Hands dirty
    You can tell him
    Hitch a ride
    No peace in quiet
    Do you ever dream
    No dry eye in the chapel
    Thoughts?

    You’ve got You Can Tell Him on their twice. Other than that, I think this is good.

    Hands Dirty feels like such an outlier compared to all the other singles

    Oh, dip. You're right. Serves me right for writing quickly.
    That second you can tell should be one good cry.

    Jesus they’re already at 6x their goal

    Apparently Taylor Swift fans interpreted this as a big statement against Big Machine (even though it wasn’t intended as such) and are throwing their weight behind it. Which is wild but incredibly fortuitous!
