O'Brother - You and I (May 1, 2020) Album • Page 4

Nice, was just curious! Excited to hear this tomorrow

 

Pay what you want? Obviously I'm going to toss them some money but that's kind of surprising.

 

They correctly assume a bunch of people who want to hear this won't be able to afford it right away, probably won't be left as PWYW for long

 

That's true. It's a hard situation to navigate right now. They will probably lose money on it but it will get to more people's ears.

 

It's also because bandcamp will be waiving their fees for tomorrow, so whatever people are able to pay will go directly to them, even if it's less than the usual amount for an album.

 

Organising an interview!

 

pwyw goes through next Friday, which is when it will go up on streaming.

 

They’re very generous. I like this model when I’ve seen other bands use it and hopefully it is successful for them.

 

Looks good!

 

Wondering what sort of release window there'll be for this/how many variants - preordering for a July/August release isn't something I can do rn especially with having to pay for shipping from the US.

 

That pressing looks so dope

 

I am reviewing it but it's not going live till May 8th.

 

Awesome! I'm interested to hear how they're handling going fully independent in these times. It seems like it's freeing them up to do things when and how they want and to pivot and change plans quickly, but it's also got to be at least somewhat difficult not having that label backing.

 

If it wasn't Mary then I figured it'd be you. Excited to read your thoughts on it.

 

Agreed.

you guys are gonna love Black Tide

 

I’m gonna be listening to a new OBro album in < 3 hours!

 

Between this and Gleemer coming out at midnight, I have no idea what to do with myself. Two of my most anticipated releases in a very long time on the same day is sick.

 

Definitely gona throw some money their way tomorrow

 

The hype is real with this one rn

 

I typically don't get heavy records on vinyl because it's just not something I ever really have an opportunity to play out loud at home. Tempted here though.

 

Same but I’m totally getting this one

 

Thought gleemer was next Friday?

 

The production on You and I is phenomenal. Vinyl would take it to a whole 'nother level. There's something about the format that sounds so spacious compared to others, this album in particular would benefit from it greatly.

Why'd I sell my turntable

 

Without saying too much, but also echoing what @The Mysterious said, you should totally get this.

 

Oh, I don't mind if you say too much.
