36 minutes? :(
As usual, it'll probably take me a couple of listens to fully get into (5 only clicked after a couple of months and now I don't understand what I didn't get about it initially)

working on 7th!
downy 7thアルバムのドラムREC終了!凄まじい曲たちが仕上がって来ています。身に余る光栄に震えつつも絶対に良い作品にするんだという気合いに満ちております。ようやく行けたハジメさんのスタジオも素晴らしかったです。ルームチューニングとATC+Subが本当に良い。ここでミックスもやりたい… pic.twitter.com/0bomd5Exis— K C (@KKKKKCCCCC) September 24, 2019

They've been playing it 20 times after each other on Youtube today and it's more immediately accessible than the last one IMO - sounds great.
― StanM, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:03 (four years ago) link
oh, i'm enjoying this a lot, i haven't kept up with them/didn't realize they were still around (basically i only know them from their cover of This Heat's paperhats)

a track from the live stream you can buy tickets for:

sometimes I think they just get too complicated for their own good but then other times I hear the exact same song and it all comes together. Weird.
― StanM, Thursday, 24 December 2020 11:38 (three years ago) link
they're selling the live show on a USB stick (order before Jan 9th, probably not shipping outside of Japan) + download - see text below this new clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqdmpoZAt9c
― StanM, Wednesday, 6 January 2021 14:10 (three years ago) link
ooh, they ARE shipping outside of Japan (it says 800 yen shipping) - even though the about page of their shop still says they don't
― StanM, Wednesday, 6 January 2021 14:12 (three years ago) link
nevermind, no international shipping after all.
― StanM, Wednesday, 6 January 2021 14:20 (three years ago) link
you can supposedly buy the download on the official merch store except it doesn't accept my zip code, my phone number format or my credit card (just a regular mastercard that works everywhere else) :(
― StanM, Sunday, 31 January 2021 08:27 (three years ago) link
I complained a bit and now us foreign scum can buy the download!
