They also played the first 6 songs of home like no place is there in order last night. Said they didn’t have enough set time for the whole album
It feels like this came out much longer than two years ago. If I hadn't seen the date in the thread title I would have thought it came out in 2014.
Stereogum put them on their most anticipated for 2019 fwiw. Fingers crossed for an alt-country masterpiece
When I saw them they said “we decided we arnt going to play any shows for a while” to me it didn’t seem like they were stepping away to record... take what you will from that.
When did you see them? They tweeted this back in May (I guess this means they should’ve recorded by now?)
Well... it’ll hurt if this band goes away, but I won’t read into anything too much yet. Couldn’t blame them either, they’ve been touring like CRAZY since Goodness came out. I wonder if the tour with JEW helped them a bunch or if it wasn’t super successful for them.
I don’t know if it means anything, but the tweet about them recording is still their pinned tweet. I have a feeling he just meant they aren’t going to play any shows for a bit so they can take a break from touring.
That sucks. This band has two of my favorite albums of the decade. Are you saying it didn’t just sound like fatigue from touring? did it seem like something was not okay within the band?
