omg I went back through their socials riiiiiight before that

lmao love to triple post by accident

please let "demitasse" single a 75-minute opus of some kind

what I'm noticing about the young jesus album this time: man this is really nicely recorded esp the drums

this performance cracked me up

also idk if this is the place to discuss Bartees Strange but I'm digging the singles a lot, album's out Friday

i think he deserves his own thread tbh.

for sure

I was thinking of making one on Friday.

also did Fireworks release that clip and then...go right back to complete radio silence? rude!

lol yeah what dicks

the new Touche Amore video is incredibly wholesome content

ok so travis barker played drums on every track and co-wrote/produced the whole album now it all makes sense.

Saw an interview with Bartees Strange and he praised TV on the Radio, and that's who I hear on too many of his songs on Live Forever.

^ same

i don't know if it's "too" many but it's definitely prominent

i think he's vocally very influenced by tunde, but there's a lot more going on than just mimicry.

new Touche Amore out today and very satisfying on impact

I was surprised at how much I liked the Touche Amore album.

just put on the new black foxxes :D

well so far this is like a missing silverchair record between freak show and neon ballroom, take that as you will

(i'm pretty sure i mean it as a compliment)

"panic" is fucking amazing

the singles have all been incredible

the second half is giving me massive priest = aura-era the church vibes

and the final track eventually works itself into a gish-era-sp-type jam

phenomenal album

making me think of catherine wheel circa adam & eve too

attn spottie, what do you think of the new acceptance album

i had no idea it existed until tim f told me about it today but i'm really surprisingly about the springsteenian shift in their sound

warning for the general emo thread population, the acceptance record may exceed the limits of earnestness normally tolerated by the emo thread

i listened to the black foxxes record twice in a row today, it's the real deal

I'm generally a big fan of most anything Brad recommends but this:

and the final track eventually works itself into a gish-era-sp-type jam

reallllllly sold me.

listened to that acceptance album yesterday, thx brad. i think its ok, about half good. i get a lot of killers sound from it.

about half good is where i landed as well, but that half is real good

dark age through wildfires is the highlight for me.

The Black Foxxes album isn't out yet, is it?

New Touché Amoré is really hitting the spot!

An emotional rock trio from Devon eh

Devonians have feelings too

And theories. Simulation theories

OIC

black foxxes record is out oct 30

you'd best have sold it accurately lol

lj you should listen to "badlands" and find out

Oh this vocalist!!

This is one of the most instantly arresting vocal presences in a while. The music is that good 90s stuff, as advertised

Holy shit what has this turned into

exactly

so the best two emo bands in the world have 'fox' in the name then
