The Maine - XOXO: From Love and Anxiety In Real Time (July 9, 2021) Album • Page 5

Is it pretty normal for an indy band to have co-writes with songwriters that big? I know they worked with Butch Walker on B&W when they were with WB but this is pop gold. This band never misses.

 

I think they’ve been friends with Andrew since he was in The Friday Night Boys. I can’t remember if they toured together or not.

 

Damn I must’ve missed that. Too late now.

 

Good point and you're right. They don't miss. Can't believe how much they've been able to mature and experiment with their sound the past few years, and they're underrated IMO. I think Lovely Little Lonely would've sold millions if it came out in the 90's. There'd be some production changes maybe, but it's sooooooo good at the sound it's aiming for. Can't believe I didn't find out about them till right before You Are OK came out. I slept on them for far too long.

 

I've loved this band since 2008...got me through some tough times and I feel like if they wanted they could be absolutely huge but I love them for the fact they decided to go a route where they can make the music they wanted. Lovely Little Lonely is their best album by far but I get the sense the fact they probably sat on #8 a bit and with Sticky being their first single..this album is going to be their best work.

 

I dig the song but it didn’t blow me away like any track from LLL. I love this band though and I can’t wait to hear more.

I’m sure I’ll be humming the song for days.

 

Bad Behavior didn’t really blow me away either when it first dropped, thought it was catchy and a good first single. Have a feeling this may be a similar situation. I get a lot of AC/LLL vibes from this.

 

Based on musicharbor it does appear that this is the album art.

 

Kinda lame album art. Dig the song though.

 

I agree that the art is lame. Guess they’re going for a bright summery thing? Doesn’t do much for me

 

Just heard the song for first time. Great song for summer. Wish we didn't have to wait till July for this record to drop. I need it in my bones and in my soul.

 

July is so far away. I’m assuming they picked July because touring might be a thing again by then?

 

Forgot this went live last night. Thankfully the 180g Yellow was still available. Copped that, but, like others said, $14 as the only shipping option is criminal.

 

I like the album art it’s minimalist and surprisingly effective, but I like stuff like that

 

THIS is the opener? Sounds like a b-side track.

 

It literally costs more to ship this vinyl to Australia ($41) than it does to buy the record ($32).

Love the new track, though. Been subconsciously singing the chorus for the better part of the night. What a rich vein of form this band is in.

 

Liking this

 

Sounds like a pretty bangin opener to me colonel

 

Awful art lol

 

The $14 was a ridiculous, but I’d regret not getting this. Thank you stimmie.

 

song is like a sugary treat that i can't stop eating.

would have been perfect for the radio a few years ago.

 

I was hoping that was just single art

 

Weirdly I was just on YouTube and it said they were just going live so I decided to check it out and I managed to catch the premiere of the music video!

 

Video/song is infectious....song should garner some attention.

 

If anyone lives in the Phoenix area and didn’t pick local pickup while selecting shipping, I’ve had a few friends email their merch company and they’ve switched it for them.
