this is incredible

rhythm of the verse melody reminded me of "i want you" by savage garden, i'm not complaining

omg I thought of the same too

is that ariel rechtshaid sitting next to danielle in the last shot?

lol i got the savage garden thing too

third time through and I literally started crying

this is very good but it's almost distracting how much the verse sounds like "i want you"

Mentioned already but it does sound a lot like Savage Garden, even moreso than how the last one sounded like Lou Reed. A

no the last one was a deliberate lift of "walk on the wild side," i'm pretty sure it sounds more like lou reed than this sounds like savage garden

the production reminds me of CRJ? anyway this is good and I'm glad it's not another Vampire Weekend sonic cousin

It reminds me of a Savage Garden, but with a mix of "I Love You Always Forever" as opposed to Roxette.

it's good!

The way they embrace minimalism seems pretty unique (caveat: have to admit I'm pretty divorced from modern alt-pop)

Whenever they use a skittering rhythm track that forces them to go almost breathless, I swoon.

but then I liked Something to Tell You more than most, I think.

something to tell you remains quite underrated

agree that this track is very "i love you always forever" too

Let's put it this way: the Jennifer Paige of "Crush" would've killed this too.

Well whatever the influence is I love how it sounds on them.

Thought it was a cover of Bootylicious before the vocals came in.

Yeah that rhythmic chug def has "Edge of 17" vibes, albeit thinner.

Feel like this new one is their best track to date

Very "Edge of 17" indeed !
And they also still have some VW gimmicks (the synth choir, the piano) which is normal since Batmanglij is on the production team.

now that's a bridge

Now that's more like it.

On the other hand I think it's been too long since the last time I heard a guitar solo from Dani.

Feels like they're moving into more refined territory

love this. leans heavily into fleetwood mac territory, but at the same time feels like a new landscape for them

if it exists/ever comes out this might be their best album

Pretty song.

amazing song, not too far from carpenters territory neither. sounds like a classic.

good shit

can't say why but i bet alfred especially loves this one

the intro of this sounded great perking up through the dying nasty chord at the end of the Ulcerate single

really nice chorus

sounds like a sheryl crow joint

an't say why but i bet alfred especially loves this one

The main guitar lick's cool -- yeah, a Sheryl Crow vibe. The verses are kinda blah?

i feel like u can tell which parts of this video were directed by a PT Anderson and which parts were directed by a HAIM

sounds like a sheryl crow joint

this is accurate.

interesting that they are kind of accreting a great 2020 album where I'll have listened to most of the best tracks in 2019

that's kinda how their debut rolled out

This sounds more influenced by songs in Tusk like “what makes you think you’re the one” than by Sheryl Crow.

wow yeah moka otm

lot of the weird fuzzy boxy disembodiedness of "the ledge" in the production

i’m really into this - the way it sounds, the writing, the video! danielle thumping the drums!!

so far it’s now i’m in it > the steps > hallelujah > summer girl for me, though i find something to enjoy in all of them

Correct ranking

it is the correct order. more generally, having drifted away a little after their early singles, i’m delighted at the quality of the recent stuff.

The Steps is one of the best three or four songs they've ever recorded. It is WAY UP THERE for me.
