yea to this day I still find digital age so jarringly bad on that album. I remember the first time I listened to that album as a whole though, it floored me
The whole bright eyed discography run is warming my heart... and making me yearn for fall so I can do the same thing entire discog on vinyl this year woot woot!
I'll go to battle for Digital Age. Oddly love that track. They released a highly energetic and hype clip of them playing live before the album released. Stage diving, jumping, rowdy antics from them and the crowds at various shows of theirs, and it was set to Digital Age. Which was juxtaposed, but it worked for me. Loved it ever since that video.
I still like the lyrics and meaning behind digital age on in currents. Especially now with AI. I’m a hypocrite because I grove on tech though. So the song hits all the right buttons.
Threw In Currents on whilst doing chores and it’s still so good. Call Off The Bells never fails to hit
So this album is pretty incredible. I am FINALLY just now getting around to listening to the full thing after getting Apple Music suggestions for the singles earlier on this year. I have not heard anything from this band before other than “Hair” way back in the day on MTV. I’m really partial to the more aggressive tracks on here. It’s a great album overall.
sorry if this has been discussed, but "You left me there like a movie" is such a weird lyric to me, like Ace really couldn't find something that rhymed and left it.
Mark Rose announced for a Spitalfield + more set as the support ;o I'm thinking Dublin of Glasgow to fly out and see a new countr -, one is the first date, and the other is the last (I'm always anxious for those bookends dates to maybe have some issues and be most due to cancellation, but whatever, I'm probably reaching and it should be all good)
Imbue popped up on Amazon recently through a 3rd party seller for only $25 and I really regret not pulling the trigger in time.
I have a purple copy of imbue I’d probably be willing to let go of - happy to entertain offers, not looking to make a killing.
I have a purple copy of Imbue, too, not willing to let go of it though, but I did fuck up keeping it as the main album on the shelf for too long, and the sun fucking bleached the outer corner of the front cover
i was there. it was very nice — seated show with no opener, 6-person band including banjo and keys. they didn’t play the whole record, i think 10 songs. i wasn't disappointed though because they still played some of the really rare ones like Track 12 (gorgeous) and End of Background Noise etc. then two christmas songs (coulda done without these) three gold rush songs, keep moving, and old man. the earlier set sounded especially very good
