Mansions - Deserter (November 3, 2017) Album • Page 6

k sweet, im starting with DUTD. really digging this so far. (first thing ive ever heard from them, i just see you hype them a ton, so figured it was time to dive in)

 

that's easily one of my top 10 albums of all time. it's just a really beautiful, intimate record. its closest comparison is probably threads by now now. the later material leans more towards a more production focused sound, pushing outwards instead of inwards, but they basically mastered the intimate sound so they had to push out from there. new best friends could be from a very different band but i still love it. lots of other really great tracks outside of the records too

 

Dig up the dead is perfect

 

New song's aight. I'd like it more on an album....not sure how I feel about it taking up a spot on a 6-song EP.

 

DUTD and Threads is easily in my top 10 albums ever as well

 

DUTD probably my fav record ever. At least that's what I tell people when they ask me.

 

so I'm finally diving into the rest of their discog and I'm loving it. don't know why I haven't sooner.

 

he's doing an AMA tomorrow

 

got my shipping notification

also in the AMA he said he hopes to release music more regularly but not really tour other than local shows

 

oh shit this is out this week!!!

 

I totally didn't realize how soon this was coming out haha

Mine has shipped too

 

Got a shipping email as well. Glad to see a record I ordered is most likely going to be on time for the first time in a while

 

that's what happens when albums aren't released until records are actually done

 

feel like Thomas and Zack always do it that way

 

except zack is label managing procrastinate and look at the science fiction preorder debacle lol

 

I love my secret limited preorder that I know nothing whatsoever about

 

it's about the concept of the secret limited preorder that has value rather than the actual product itself

 

i mean I keep a print out of my order confirmation on me at all times just in case there's somebody to impress

 

Booo to the touring

 

Seattle Indie Rockers Mansions Return With Long-Awaited EP 'Deserter': Premiere

get hyped about the callback on the last track

 

If you have been on the AMA thread Chris did the other day, he mentioned that one of the songs on Deserter (High Numbers) was a reworking of an a pre-synth drop idea, an early version of it appears here:

starts at 32:35

 

The story about the lost album kills me. I can't imagine how devastating that is.

 

Wait, there was a whole album that is just lost to the ether now?!

 

Sounds like it

"...Browder accidentally dropped a synthesizer on his hard drive, destroying an album that had him stuck on neutral for a while."

 

cwhit is a totally understanding human being!
