His reticence has been evident for years, near-literally hiding behind his rack on stage. BAIO's a touring machine at this point with his damn dj act and frenetic footwork, Tomson is a drum machine who's been on tour since before the band started, and arzE has always sought attention to if not himself then his ideas and garments, but Rostam was/is a studio/biz guy, his not-insignificant contributions compositional and perhaps positional, but not thematically key like Koenig's at least from my identity-political and more substantive perspectives. will be interesting to see what gets both dropped and added musically, including who. i'm hoping for a l'homme run or two.
re the stadium act comment in the other thread - duh, but who is these days? contra (ahem) taylor, they're earnest guys who play at being canny. #1 is not unreflective of their perhaps-great content, but also isn't that hard for those of a certain generation in this harder-to-measure era. they're popular enough to fill arenas in at least bigger cities if they want to, and i think those remaining do. the issue is filling out the sound, which requires more players than those present or reproducible with Batman and Tomson's sampling and loops. if they want to be the tristate arcade fire, they can't be gorillaz. so i'd expect several new members of the touring band.
