I was genuinely confused the first time I saw the Friends video because I thought it was Bon Iver singing the whole time and I didn't know who this dancing dude was. Then the song was in my head for a week. I don't think I like it, but that catchiness something.

 

Yeah his live show is what really won me over. I was surprised to find out that he's been doing his thing for so long considering i hadn't heard of him until Coloring Book.

 

fan of this dude, and Friends is so good

 

It'll Be Better is probably my favorite discovery of the year. That EP is perfect. I'm very, very excited for a new album from him, although I'm a little sad to discover "Friends" is the closer, since I try to never listen to an album closer before the album comes out. Oh well. Still an awesome song.

 

"Friends" is one of my favorite songs this year. Can't wait to hear more!

 

I just listened to some old songs and didn't like them

and then I heard See Her Out. almost dropped the phone I was listening to it on when those synths came in. Unreal and here for this

 

Both new songs are phenomenal... not as big a fan of his old stuff but it's still solid.

 

Dude is a better dancer than me that's for sure.

 

So glad he's finally back. It'll Be Better is a favorite of mine.

 

Still jam "Tap the Phone" a lot. I think I discovered that through one of your summer mixes a few years back.

 

Oh you most likely did. I beat that drum a lot, not that it made much of a dent. Glad it got you into him at least though, sir.

 

I had assumed he wasn't active anymore after that EP. I was pleasantly surprised to see his name start popping up places earlier this year. Intrigued to see what this will sound like.

 

He did have that follow-up EP that went under the rader. Like a Dream. It was pretty good but got NO push.

 

Ha, did not even know that was a thing. I'll check it out.

 

and he said it'll be out in less than a month

 

woah, awesome

 

Was starting to doubt I'd ever hear another album from him. Thank you Chance

 

Aw man. That's awesome news. Very excited to hear it.

 

You can listen to the whole album on his website!

whoa

 

I'm at work, how is it?

 

I like it a lot. Some of the middle tracks are my favorites after first listen (could be partially due to how much I've played "Friends" and "See Her Out"). But yeah my initial faves were probably "May I Have This Dance", "My City's Gone", and "It's Alright To Cry". Will definitely be spinning it a lot (until Danny Brown and Bon Iver come out in six days...).

Hope it's on Spotify soon. He said after it was mastered it'd be uploaded to streaming services so I'm guessing by the end of the weekend.

 

Updated OP.

 

Need an CD release of this ASAP.
