You shouldn't put too much stock into what breathless press releases say but that makes it sound amazing. Hope it's good.

Oh hell yeah, look forward to checking this! Seems like a shout out to old label / tour mates USAisaMonster also. Maybe they will get convinced to make another record as well ....

can't get over that wailing. 2019 is ripe for lightning bolt

Fantasy Empire was so good ... their best ever, imo, though I imagine that's not the consensus. Anyway, looking forward to this.

I'm not quite sure I'd go as far as best ever, but it was absolutely fantastic and just as good as the high points of the initial run. Really looking forward to this new one.

Sounds like Lightning...Blues? Definitely one of the most straightforwardly riffy things I've heard them do.

recent Brooklyn show was a real ripper, despite kinda bougie warehouse venue space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0Pbm9cG1L4

They were *so* good last night and the crowd had so much wild energy. No idea where Chippendale gets his stamina from.

Dude is hilarious; at one point he took out his phone and took a selfie with the crowd in the background and was like "yeah, that's a good one!" When they came out for the encore he started talking about eating bananas and the crowd ended up chanting "POTASSI-UM! "POTASSI-UM!"
