So, so, so excited for this. Phoenix is one of my all time favorite albums. Didn't care much for the last LP— hoping this is great.

 

Let’s go

 

yes. yes!!!!!

 

Pretty much the same here. "First Drum Set" is the only song that really stuck with me from Havasu.

 

Havasu is very important to me and I cannot wait

 

Y’know what would be a great tour?

Manchester orchestra & PTL

 

A man can dream

 

An Andy, David, Julien solo tour

 

That was such a delightful first listen.

 

Hell yeah this rules, pumped this is coming. Last one took some listening to grow on me and it's still not my most favorite but it has some good tunes on it. Really digging the granddaddy-esque synths at the end.

 

Modesto instantly grabs me, unlike anything off Havasu (which took 5-10 listens per song, outside of First Drum Set). Reminds me a good mix of Achilles Heel & Phoenix!

 

Every time I see Second Best live or a video of it I'm reminded of this post from the last PtL tour:

 

fuck yeah

 

I'm trying to remember if this is a trilogy or if we'll get a fourth album in this series.

 

I'll defend Havasu as I fully believe the dour mood of the album is a great representation of how depressed he was while living there.

I'm stoked and hopeful that we get some tour dates today or soon. Having seen Dave do both a living room show a handful of times and PtL live, I'm so happy that he's back doing this regularly. PtL is one of the foundational bands of my youth.

Edit: I'll also say that I recall Dave saying that Covid really fucked up his motivation to write and record.

 

Long live PtL

just need some fl dates

 

i think i remember several years ago he said Phoenix was the first of 5 albums

 

Tour dates on his site

 

I can't recall but that sounds right.

i also get Bandcamp notifications from Big Scary Monsters (his European distributor), and the text for the album listing also says it's a 5 album series
