Emperor X - Oversleepers International (May 5, 2017) Album • Page 21

Ask him about the lyrics. They're pretty unusual in the references they make, but they're woven into the fabric of it all very seamlessly. Is it because they're things he thinks about often (ie references to philosophers and politics as a framework in which larger emotional labor can be processed through) or a more meticulous process beginning with an idea that maybe he wants to make more vague to make it less about himself?

Has he ever tried to play his songs with a band/outside collaborators on a longer term basis, and if not/so, why?

 

there are definitely a few full band videos out there, i think especially in like the pre-germany days he had more of a band as well, the daytrotter session i know at the very least is full band

probably all hard due to location

 

Yeah, that's why I said longer term basis. Like, I get the logistics of touring with a band while living in Germany is probably just not doable, but I'm also wondering about long term collaboration in just a writing or recording sense

 

LOIC, Tanline Debris, and 5-hour Energy are my three faves so far. Riot for Descendant Command is growing on me. I feel like I would have liked it more on the first half of the record.

 

Interview Wednesday if there's anything y'all wanna know

 

Ask him what's his favorite Kanye album

 

Just found this record yesterday. Wow. Just wow.

 

always so exciting when new people join us here! just makes me happy when people discover this brilliance

 

Who else is having a ton of fun with the tab book?

 

Disclaimer: Not trying to bring negativity into the thread, I really love this album. But I don't think I've ever disliked a song on an album I love as much as Riot for Descendant Command.

 

Oh man that's probably my favorite song on the back half of this album. Reminds me of TMG

 

Brown Recluse is probably still my favorite song here

 

Riot is good bc he sounds like christian Holden on it

 

riot live is a blast but the recorded version is probably my least favorite on the album

 

Bad takes on riot because this album is front to back fire

 

i genuinely went after this album after seeing cwhit hype it so much and i'm not regretting it, very different from mostly anything i've ever heard. just don't get the point of the closing track being 3 minutos of music + an 8-minute static noise outro. other than that this is really interesting

 

the outro was supposed to be meant for a locked groove on vinyl/longer hahaha

 

oh. had never heard of that. fuckin millennials

 

chad is an old man he's almost 40 hahaha

 

i'm the millennial cause i feel like i should know what a locked groove was hahah

 

I thought he was mid 40s for some reason lol

 

Think he's 37 give or take a year

 

@brandon_260 i already told @matthaber

 

I have class tonight :/

 

omg i'm going to buy this
