is it just me or is there a weird edit at the very start of the first chord on sicilian crest?

Good catch, getting that correct rn
I guess it's not a big deal, I mean, Grouper had the same thing happen with "Clearing"

<3 the engineer Matt Ross-Spang is just a genius dude. It has been interesting to read how people are talking about it being a "new direction" production-wise but in my mind I was just taking what I love about "Against Pollution" and trying to use it as a template for every song across the album-- this kind of tensile quality and space.

Listened to John on Song Exploder from a few weeks ago and I solidly would like to hear him discuss every song. Absolutely loved Colbert singing This Year also.

As a parent, been thinking about Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton this week and had to decide that the lessons of the lyrics no longer apply if Death Metal Band were switched out with Instagram Jackass Knockoff.

No less than five(!) separate, individual ads for "Donald Glover Presents" popped up when I followed that link. Stereogum getting that Childish Gambino $$$.
But I do really dig this TMG tune.

Amazing consistency.

I like how the last 4 or so full-band album titles each seemed geared toward some demo of fandom (wrestling, goths, D&D/MtG, Cold Steel).

this is cool
and I have to tell you in case anybody misses it: the organ on the new song? That swelling, throbbing, miraculous Hammond B3? that's CHARLES HODGES.
