best way to describe the new song is a mix of Yellowjacket, Rotoscope, and maybe something off of the Singles Collection EP. gets wild.

 

I was kind of meh on them before Rotoscope (I still only go back to a few songs on the full length and back) but Rotoscope and on has been nothing but bangers for me.

 

i'd say that the two singles they released between Singles Collection and Eternal Blue are where they really started to hit their stride (thanks in part to Dan Braunstein's production work/songwriting advice), but i'm a fan of all of it to varying degrees. i loved The Fear of Fear, but something about Rotoscope really jumped out at me in the best way. from what i've read about this upcoming album (particularly based on their new interview with Metal Hammer where they give a track-by-track breakdown of the album), it seems they've given it their all to try to craft something super unique that builds on those two EPs and Eternal Blue in an interesting way. i trust that the vision for this LP will pan out super nicely.

breakdown below:

 

Rotoscope was what also got me hooked. It feels like Metric on steroids haha.

 

all in one song??? my body is ready

 

premieres in 8 minutes!

 

nice, a little snippet of another new song leading into this it appears.

 

probably one of their cooler songs. absolute ass beater man

 

Ass beater indeed. That was incredible.

 

i love this band. i'll hop in the pit if they play this at the Pittsburgh show (probably not, lol)

 

The fact that No Loss isn’t even the heaviest song on the new album has me stunned.

 

where’d that info come from?

 

Oh, like 5 posts up lol. More stoked after reading all of that.

 

I love this new trend of bands just absolutely doubling down on the filthiest, heaviest corners of their music. I thought Soft Spine was unhinged, this is next level.

EDIT: music video is uncomfortable, but in a good way. They’re the only band where I make sure to check out the videos, always top notch.

 

Judging by the description, curious to hear Crystal Roses the most as it reads like we could be in for something in the same realm as Nihilist Blues

 

Yeah that's probably the one I'm most excited to hear.

 

there's a clip from their ARG on their website. it's more D&B than anything else (if my assumption is correct about what D&B sounds like, because i don't listen to a lot of music that sounds like the sample). still sounds great.

 

Just gonna put on the new song…

 

Courtney looks like a certified badass in that video. Love the eerie imagery with the faces "melting" off at the end.

apparently a slightly-longer snippet of Crystal Roses played right before the video premiered if anyone wants to hear that

 

Sounds fucking great, thanks for posting.

 

Took me right back to the early 2010s, skimming through drum and bass and dubstep stuff on the UKF YouTube channels

 

I'm obsessed with this song
