IB is a better record than Invented but I’d rather they do Invented in a second set of Phoenix Sessions (along with Bleed American and Chase This Light)
Although not gonna lie the more time passes the more I love Invented. I throw it on more often than IB these days.
I’m more interested in new material honestly. Lockdown mate reduce the typical 3 year cycle. I’d love an album, EP, single, or Surviving Bsides. Concerts are cool and all, but it doesn’t even come close for me...new Jimmy all the way.
Why not prepare a record ahead of “schedule”. They can produce their own demos and have spent time together in their own space. As long as the writing magic is there, why not?
for every "we're locked down, why hasn't [x] made a record yet??" question, the answer is pretty much always "records sell better when you can tour behind them"
You could write, record and produce it. Then decide to release it once it’s done or wait. Also, the statement “records sell better when you can tour behind them” is a logical statement during pre COVID and lock downs. With artists not touring, recording could be a way to generate some income. Bands will likely tour the moment it’s safe and get profitable crowds...new album or not. Fans will want to get out of the house when safe.
can uh someone here send me a download link to any kind of rip of the clarity phoenix session, i need it for... reasons lemme know if this is an inappropriate question lol
