Pretty fitting that they (officially) drop this song on the day Futures turns old enough to vote. Best band.
Wait so is Futures just super limited on vinyl? Realizing today I don't have it in my collection and kind of shocked by the prices I'm seeing online.
I just picture Jim making this on his own and then showing the rest of the band like "guys, look what I did. Super cool right??"
There was a repress about 6 weeks ago that brought it down to like $35 at a lot of retailers, but maybe that pressing is gone now?
Feels like a COVID lockdown-era video with all the empty locations and a couple of the shots of their studio.
Maybe the new deal will be release a new song, and follow it up with alt version of the song. Then repeat with next new song.
Real Friends (big JEW fans) did that with their first release with the new singer, 5 new songs became 10 & the release was called "Torn in Two". I really dig that format, I'd be very okay with JEW doing that with all these singles
new track is not what i was expecting at all. sounds gorgeous. huge futures vibe. some integrity blues too. so atmospheric.
I chose a mystery Went there alone, intentionally Had to forgive myself Grieving imaginary loss You’ll pay with the life not lived Pay with each thought Of what could have been But nothing adds to the cost Like missing the ride you’re on god dammit man im starting to tear up...
Rick just “liked” a comment I made about being bummed the Jimmy/Dashboard tour wasn’t coming to the east coast from back in January, lol
