Ya I mean I’m glad they’re an option but it’s just hard to pull off. It would be nice if there was a cheaper option for 2 people or something
Yeah to be clear I don't necessarily have an issue with them happening, I just don't like how much they are charging during these times. A ticket option for those without cars would be nice too.
Currently doing a lil AMA on Instagram. Music related stuff so far: - they have 13 or 14 songs written and demoed, and will be tracking them in Texas “soon” - none of the demos have live drums on them yet, which they’ve never done before. and they’ve been messing around with samples a lot more. could be reading into that more than he meant, but maybe we’re gonna get some beat programming or something a la newer hovvdy stuff? - they’ve apparently been really into tracking demos while dancing to a disco light lol, which is only worth mentioning cause it might indicate the new stuff being a lot more dance-y? - vocals on the new stuff are not all falsetto like they usually are
Been listening to this on repeat all afternoon. I love the whole thing, but the back half is especially great.
They just announced a run in Chicago in December. 12/6 - Schubas 12/8 - Thalia Hall 12/9 - Lincoln Hall 12/10 - Sleeping Village 12/11 - SPACE CC: @mattfreaksmeout
excited to see them next week. it’ll be a phone-less show to, they’re using those Yondr bags at the venue.
It’s a stripped down set, all the old songs are played with acoustic and keys. Played about 7 or 8 new ones with percussion backing tracks, full set was about an hour and 20 minutes. Sounds very r&b influenced compared to the past two albums, I’m really excited for it.
last time I saw them there were 11 on stage. 7 from the band and the a full quartet all centered around Julien. excited for the R&B.
there was no drum on stage last night and played a ton of new songs, which is why I think they made the show phone-less. they played everything else way more stripped back than normal, it was really something. new songs sound like Whitney but with a little more electronic samples and flourishes. I cannot wait.
Yeah, I’m like stupid excited for this. This feeling is so rare with music for me anymore - feels like I’m gonna be on the edge of my seat until the day I hit play on the record
