I find it hard to casually listen to La Dispute lately, as my musical tastes have shifted away from emotionally weighty stuff. However, listened to a handful of songs, including "Woman (in mirror)" and "Woman (reading)" for the first time in ages tonight and DAMN. Would do dirty things for an album full of tracks like these.
That's a lot of countdowns. Five sections with two countdowns each a few days apart, going out to September 7th. Single release schedule? Five EPs? No matter what I'm psyched.
I was on their Reddit and apparently marketing has started and a letter was sent out with links that fans have been deciphering https://www.reddit.com/r/ladispute/s/izQyvQHR8D The things of note are: "I just got the letter today! I love this! The images have hidden squares floating on them and here are the audio files that pop up: 01: First Settlement 02: Let Us Listen 03: Life Everlasting 04: Logs and Saw Mills 05: A Better Place 06: Sing 07: The Grand River 08: Millionaires 09: Cement Walls 10: Beloved 11: Gloria 12: But I Could Feel it Happen 13: A Proud People 14: Troublesome Times I'm assuming these are the song titles. I also inspected the images with the time countdown timers and found that they will be releasing videos at 9am on: May 12 May 16 June 9 June 13 July 7 July 10 Aug 4 Aug 8 Sept 4 Sept 8" Regardless, I'm fucking stoked.
Oh forgot to say an air freshener came with it LOL. I'm extremely jealous of everyone who got this dammit hah.
Just seen they have tour dates and are playing Leeds in the UK but on my wife’s birthday. Damn it. Haven’t seen them for years.
Didn't see this posted anywhere (correct me if wrong) but if you click on the "and" in the upside down text that reads "Because our lives go only forward and we die" at the bottom of their site, this reveals: EDIT: this was indeed spotted on reddit. Oh well, here ya go anyway!
Really, really pumped. I know whenever a band does a retrospective via a 10 year anniversary tour, that tends to sometimes bleed into the work. With them recently playing Wildlife & ROTH in full, hopefully this new record pulls more from those instead of Panorama (nothing wrong with that record, just not for me)
Got my letter in the mail! If anyone is interested, I'm sure if you join even now they'll send one out. I joined the email list the same day I posted the reddit info
No idea lol, I wasn't expecting this and had just put a new one in my car already just the other day. People on Reddit are saying it's a strong pine smell.
