here's a live version of Power of Two from a few years ago which has a slightly different arrangement to the final version (which is fantastic)

Only took 6+ years to finish that one lol.

Get tickets for this before they're gone, have a weird premonition about something coming out that day. https://t.co/eDMFYzK1kO

Tops and Bottoms is the new single (probably won't work until it's Friday where you are). it doesn't blow me away like the other singles so far but it's still good. i'm also surprised that Power of Two and Echo Arms aren't on the album?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They must have a lot of faith in these songs to not include Echo Arms

it seems like their drummer, Bryan Ujueta, is no longer in the band

"Tops And Bottoms" is not about what I thought it would be based on the title

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlbIboILhNg

wish that one went on forever

in the house of yes reminds me a lot of saint etienne (in a good way)

it's not like the last album wasn't incredibly great but this new material collectively seems like another huge leap forward, I don't think I've anticipated an album this much since Shaking The Habitual

'Tops and Bottoms' is magic. Knowing the lyrics really opened it up for me. Consumerism, anxiety, the male gaze, superficiality, ego, etc...addressed with serious economy.
Or, I could be reading too much into it. heh

Either way, what a special vocalist/lyricist. Something that I'm liking more about these singles than the last album is how up front and idiosyncratic the vocal performances
are again.

Also, saw the first show of the tour last Thursday. If you can, go. Didn't realize how much I'd missed em!

Salt playing over at https://radio.mrtwinsister.com/

the album is out on their bandcamp too now

so this is pretty great?

the whole album is excellent but i'm completely blown away by Keep on Mixing and Taste in Movies

also love the new background vocals added to Jaipur

i do wish they'd included power of two and echo arms, the balance would feel a bit better with uptempo tracks like those in there

"Keep on Mixing" throwing off a Truesteppers/2-step vibe at times.

"buy to return" is amazing

im so happy

BNMTS

stoked for this .... havent heard yet

Feel like they are the best band in the world today

they are

definitely seemed that way at the release show last night

echo arms was so good, they really couldn't have made room for that on the record?

I’ve just added it to my edit

i've put Power of Two and Echo Arms in between Alien FM and Koh-I-Noor and it takes the album from a 9 to a 10

I also wish that they had done an extended Echo Arms instead of Power Of Two, although both feel like some lost Paradise Garage classic

idk the album is perfectly wonderful without them, i’m fine with 1 awesome album and 1 awesome double-sided single

yeah i understand why they left it off, but i already regret not buying that echo arms/power of two single at the merch table.

it just adds a little more of their dance side to it and sort of balances it out a bit better, the album feels a lot slower without them. it's great as it is but i definitely prefer my edit

i want a whole album of the sophisti-2-step of Keep on Mixing

i just like that the album is a more chilled out space generally

deseo reminds me of the blue nile's from rags to riches

the way the strings flutter in across this, the meticulous hi-hat sounds, the brass on "Taste In Movies" - what a wonderful sounding album

This band has been through so much, and it’s incredible to listen to their discography and hear their evolution. This album is sublime!

the other week i had kind of dysphoric episode over my clothes but it was nice to have the chorus of "tops and bottoms" running through my head during it

She's such an underrated lyricist.

let me be
strong enough
make my heart
kind enough

cheap
shit!
