Another real good one. This is the first Hundredth track that I feel like Chadwick is really going for it on the clean vocals, it totally works. I like this more than Cauterize by a pretty wide margin, but Whatever is still tops
Also it’s a small thing but I feel like in this kinda “washed out reverb drenched indie rock” kind of music, the drums (snare in particular) always get pushed to the back, but I really love how they’ve been pretty powerful and prominent still in all of these songs
Yeah it didn't sound like these songs were an album project.. but it definitely feels like they should be.
Yeah that’s what I remember too. I feel like a lot of bands that do this kind of thing wind up putting out bloated 15-20 song records that include all of the singles. On one hand I’m hoping they don’t go that route, on another, it would really suck for them to waste all of these great songs on just being standalone singles that aren’t part of a package
I dont see how they're wasted being singles and not on an album. If they only have a few songs in the tank then just drop them and worry about an album later. This is why I like that Self Defense Family releases a few EP's every year and an album every few years.
Yeah, I mean I’m certainly not upset about getting new stuff from them. Maybe it just comes down to how you consume music. For “album” people like me, random one-off singles don’t get a lot of play long term, especially once there’s a fully fleshed out, purposefully created record on the table to chew on. They just don’t have the same staying power. Additionally, I also think that these singles lack the heavier promotion that would normally be afford by a proper album cycle, which is unfortunate because I think most of us can agree that these are the band’s best songs to date. They’ve got legs. On a more “entitled fan” note, I’d love to have these tracks on my turntable. If these remain standalone singles, that may not wind up happening
Looks like its the last single in the series according to the Alt Press article that dropped with the single. No word on an LP yet still so I'm guessing they're working on stuff and it'll come next year. I'd love a spring release in the same style as these singles. I'd jam that shit all summer.
This band came up on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist and some of the guitar work reminded me of Hundo's
