The Early November Band • Page 16

And not only one post, two. Maybe something was finalized today. New record deal / label possibly?

I feel like their contract was for two albums with Rise. I also feel like a new label (because so many of the bands on Rise that were similar to them have now disbanded - PBC, MDAM, Transit, Daytrader, Jealous Sound, Man Overboard) would do them well / would help them reach a new audience.

 

Wait, what's happening!?

 

Kind of makes sense I guess if they put one out every two years or so

 

Their average is like one every three years though. This would be the quickest turn around they've ever had.

and it's totally fine! ha

 

I'm just hoping for some shows but I'll never complain with a new album from my favorite band haha.

 

I listened to imbue yesterday I want them to explore the heavier ideas on that record more

 

I want Ace to do a full pop record with stuff like "One more song". I don't know if that'll ever happen, but it'd be interesting.

 

I can see that happening somewhere down the line in his solo career. BTW does Ace tour off of solo stuff or?

 

i remember reading an interview or something awhile back that he wrote and recorded a radio pop album, but then eventually decided he didn't like it, or he felt like it wasn't actually a direction he wanted to go, or his label didn't like it, SOMETHING. i don't remember the reason. and i thiiiiiink i remember him saying he actually gave a song from it to another artist. but yeah, either way, Ace has a full pop record SOMEWHERE, but it's locked away and hidden from us.

 

i don't understand the question, but he does tour solo, he plays his solo songs, and also some TEN songs.

 

Damnit. Yeah, I get the feeling he'd feel like a sellout or something if he resorted to writing full on pop albums, like it would be disingenuous.

 

i think he said something along those lines

 

yeah that was my question, thus far since I've been following I only saw the one support tour he was doing with that dude from the Movielife/I Am The Avalanche so I wasn't sure if he did that regularly or if it was as sporadic as TEN stuff

Also that seems kind of silly, if he means the songs I don't see how they'd be disingenuous. He could make the best pop album but it's not like it'd gonna be a huge crossover success either so I feel like if I listened to it, I'd just assume it was because that's what he felt like doing and nothing more.

 

I feel like a few of the songs written for that album made it onto WIHTG. I think a few others were stripped down for Gold Rush (Connected and Gods)...but I'm not 100% certain about that. All I really remember is him saying that he decided to not go through with the project entirely because he wasn't playing all the instruments / wasn't allowed to do harmonies on the record (basically just become a singer) and he didn't want that & I remember a much, much poppier version of Connected, and a much more rock oriented version of Gods on his Myspace page around 2008.

 

Also, I MAY be looking into this WAY too much, BUT the last time Jeff hash-tagged something (#TEN2015) it was in late 2014 and that signaled Imbue sooooooooo......

 

I've got both of those Myspace versions, they were part of Mess of the Month when he was doing it
