Brand New: emo beacon or lesser light?

either of the middle two are what you want. i'd maybe recommend deja over devil bc of your emphasis on "melody"

as far as i can tell

1. this album is called science fiction
2. it's out there

!!!!!

what a day

I know everyone is going to say this but this sounds like the actual Devil and God followup so far, holy shiiiiiii

this is fucking unbelievable

when i grow up, i wanna be a heretic

this is emo christmas

i have so much work to do today!!!! whyyy did this happen now!!!!

ahhh (spoiler)!!

anyone got a link they can share? at work and want a trusted source

get thee to reddit

i dont do reddit but ill try

yeah i also had to brave reddit and ugh but

THE GUITARS

it's their jangle record, kinda!!

holy shit (spoiler)!!!!

kiss me one time each eyelid
so I can see how I dreamed it

definitely no second-half slump on this one, goddamn

oh man the talk talkisms with the organ and harmonica

about to start listen 2, I am so happy with this

i'm guessing the last song is called "batter up" anyway that's my fav

what a weird record

it's the epic closer Devil and God deserved

the next to last song is fuckin intense

tracklisting + non-$45 vinyl http://www.procrastinatemusictraitors.com/products/598731-brand-new-science-fiction

That's dope.

oh if you buy it it's an immediate download. i hell of couldn't afford to do that but i did lol xp

smdh at the outlet who thought the band sent out CDs "accidentally"

god bless this day

I know people cringe at calling them emo but I feel like this is the ideal day for that Wrens album announcement

oh man the talk talkisms with the organ and harmonica

thank you for connecting "in the water" to talk talk

album generally has catherine wheel adam & eve vibes i think

"can't get it out" is like they wrote another "1996" just for me

yeah this is def their eeriest album, funny how the one-off singles ("mene" and "I am a nightmare") sound like headfakes now

I appreciate how idiosyncratic the sequencing is, bookended by two extended drifters with lots of little peaks and valleys in between

agreed re: eeriest album, which, daisy was already extremely eerie

I can't begin to think what the single will be, if there is one? I guess "can't get it out" is most obvious but I'd go with an edit of "in the water"

also I can't help but think that Devil's Tower would have been a cooler and more fitting name for this record

i like thinking it's a ornette coleman reference

this is still the best band ever

"desert" is such a sick little song

i am unsure of how necessary it was to write a song from the perspective of a homophobic preacher but it sure adds to the post-apocalyptic vibe

yeah that and "451" are a nice double hit of dark western vibes

when describing this album to a friend i compared it to juno's a future lived in past tense. idk if it's that good but it's the sound of a great band stretching allllll the way out

haha you have friends who have heard that album??

lol yep it's my friend's favorite album of all time

nice

this album is crystallizing for me nicely, I don't see myself wearing it out anytime soon. I'm so glad they're back.
