I wish they had picked up on Through, but Sure and Certain didn't seem to do too bad. When I saw them Spring 2016, a lot of people went wild for Sure & Certain, so that was cool.
sure and certain garnered the attention of a lot of people who hadnt paid attention since futures and earlier, i saw a lot of "wow i cant believe theyre still around and still sound this good" when it dropped.
If you don’t don’t Dizzy Polaris Carry you Crush Always be Sunday Praise chorus World you love How’d you have me
polaris pol roger integrity blues you with me invented just watch the fireworks dizzy cautioners 23 heart is hard to find idk
pol roger is literally everything i love about this band in one package. i feel like i’ve already written a lot about this though lol
i was living in Austin when IB came out and Sure and Certain was in heavy rotation on more than one station. It's a strange phenomenon: You can play it on your phone at literally any time, but you get SO amped hearing an artist you love that much spontaneously come on the actual radio lol
I'm just kidding, thought you were gonna b mad. It's low on my list too, but only because of all the great music the band has made since.
i was sitting here like "i know he and i have talked about how much we love Clarity wtf" but now i see i took the bait
I don't think that was me, haha. I'm pretty on-record about how little I listen to that album. Still good tho
i was gonna say The Middle is overrated but id be conflating "overrated" and "overplayed" i think, like i dont think anyone really considers The Middle pinnacle JEW songwriting or anything its just a sturdy, euphoric pop rock tune.
