Brand New: emo beacon or lesser light?

no one is allowed to bump this thread again until there is news of at least one of those things happening

NEW! ALBUM! IN! OCTOBER! http://www.procrastinatemusictraitors.com/

AAAAAAH

also many thanks brad for honoring my request!!

fuck a 45$ plus shipping price tag though

holy shit i hope this means a TOUR

what's the very best Brand New album for someone who likes melody + guitars

all of them? deja entendu maybe?

that or _tdagarim_, i sense the majority here would recommend the latter first

either of the middle two are what you want. i'd maybe recommend deja over devil bc of your emphasis on "melody"

as far as i can tell

1. this album is called science fiction
2. it's out there

!!!!!

what a day

I know everyone is going to say this but this sounds like the actual Devil and God followup so far, holy shiiiiiii

this is fucking unbelievable

when i grow up, i wanna be a heretic

this is emo christmas

i have so much work to do today!!!! whyyy did this happen now!!!!

ahhh (spoiler)!!

anyone got a link they can share? at work and want a trusted source

get thee to reddit

i dont do reddit but ill try

yeah i also had to brave reddit and ugh but

THE GUITARS

it's their jangle record, kinda!!

holy shit (spoiler)!!!!

kiss me one time each eyelid
so I can see how I dreamed it

definitely no second-half slump on this one, goddamn

oh man the talk talkisms with the organ and harmonica

about to start listen 2, I am so happy with this

i'm guessing the last song is called "batter up" anyway that's my fav

what a weird record

it's the epic closer Devil and God deserved

the next to last song is fuckin intense

tracklisting + non-$45 vinyl http://www.procrastinatemusictraitors.com/products/598731-brand-new-science-fiction

the cover is so good

download available immediately after order!!!!!!

That's dope.

oh if you buy it it's an immediate download. i hell of couldn't afford to do that but i did lol xp

smdh at the outlet who thought the band sent out CDs "accidentally"

god bless this day

I know people cringe at calling them emo but I feel like this is the ideal day for that Wrens album announcement

oh man the talk talkisms with the organ and harmonica

thank you for connecting "in the water" to talk talk

album generally has catherine wheel adam & eve vibes i think

"can't get it out" is like they wrote another "1996" just for me

yeah this is def their eeriest album, funny how the one-off singles ("mene" and "I am a nightmare") sound like headfakes now

I appreciate how idiosyncratic the sequencing is, bookended by two extended drifters with lots of little peaks and valleys in between

agreed re: eeriest album, which, daisy was already extremely eerie

I can't begin to think what the single will be, if there is one? I guess "can't get it out" is most obvious but I'd go with an edit of "in the water"

also I can't help but think that Devil's Tower would have been a cooler and more fitting name for this record

i like thinking it's a ornette coleman reference

If anyone ever wants to write a piece about #MeToo and artist fandom, which someone probably should, they'd do well to start with the wildly divergent (and still-unraveling) reactions on the Brand New subreddit.

can't bring myself to read that tbh. used to be a part of the brand new online fan community as a teenager and those people are nuts

sort of hate myself for loving this record as much as I do. but maybe that's what brand new's music is about, and why it speaks to me so much -- so much of it deals in guilt, self-loathing...it feels very earned.

October 2018? hell yeah
