lol delayed again

they’re planning to release four more songs before the release which ugh

I know I can always ignore them but I’m only human

I guess the 6 songs total that we’re gonna hear before release is only be like a quarter of the album (isn’t it gonna have like 20+ tracks)

yeah 22 tracks

also looks like they've changed the album art and for the worse

gonna try to do myself a solid and skip the remaining advance tracks

New song does not sound like Fugazi at all

where can i hear it? i forgot the bbc premiere...

this song is amazing

they did it again

great creation records vibe on this

love it when matty actually sort of writes a bridge

this is so good. how can i thank them properly?

i'm sorry that i'm kinda queer, it's not as weird as it appears
it's 'cause my body doesn't stop me
oh it's okay, lots of people think i'm gay
but we're friends, so it's cool, why would it not be?

I listened to two seconds before I remembered my earlier pledge. I will stay strong!!

I just saw them last year but strongly thinking about seeing them in Toronto in May

oh god this is just incredible

goosebumps!

love this! feels very 90’s outer-edge britpop, like Ash or something. jangly and kinda dreamy
INTO IT

that was my first thought, too.

Haven’t listened to the new one yet just here to say “change of heart” is one of my favorite songs of theirs & it is the most heartfelt sentimental tender song abt being the person breaking up since idk Gwen stefani “cool”

this song oddly does not sound like "me" and "you" together

xpost "cool" feels like a smart reference point, it's the kind of song you could imagine them ghostwriting for a pop singer.

new song is like a baggier "milk" and i am impossibly down for that.

This is totally unrelated but I think that they should cover U2 “I will follow”

still the best band in the world

wow, how do these guys do it

jangle is such a good look on them

the bridge is soooooo good

trying to figure out what the riff reminds me of and I think it’s “bobby jean”???

lyrics of this one are kicking my personal ass

Oh yeah this is great. My favorite of the songs released for this album so far

lyrics of this one are kicking my personal ass

you tell me.
a friend of mine was telling me that this song is everything she couldn't say when she was 17.
i think it's everything i can't say at 31!

This is IT. Best new track by far

This sounds like a song from the soundtrack of an American Pie sequel.

*ducks*

I suppose I’m reaching to an extent calling it heartfelt and sentimental — the music definitely gives the lyrics these emotional shadings they resist — but it feels true that the emotion is there ... I like that it ends with him sitting in self pity and crying In the car

Easily my favourite of the songs from the new album so far. The jangly Britpop vibes suit them so well.

oh so have they released something new

"cool" also has a p solid keening synth part in it. "a change of heart" is the kind of defensive that pretty much exposes everything it's hiding imo, so yeah you're otm deej

This is totally unrelated but I think that they should cover U2 “I will follow”

And I keep thinking they should cover "Round Here" by Counting Crows.

i saw a great youtube comment (that i can no longer find) to the effect of “everyone thinking this is The Song: in an interview five years from now Matty will say it’s about weed” 😂

decided the new one is the mid-point of "vapour trail" and "semi-charmed life"

wow yes

decided the new one is the mid-point of "vapour trail" and "semi-charmed life"

This is perfect.

otm damn. great to have the 3EB comparisons come back around

i've come around hard on "people" and especially "frail state of mind," both of which i liked but initially didn't see myself returning to much. and now there's this which is absolutely perfect... so so pumped for the album and quite disappointed it's been pushed back yet again.

I don’t know what the fuck that is but I love that song about being in a phone box or whatever it is https://t.co/AnolXScieJ

It's very 'first Ocean Colour Scene album' but perhaps unfairly i couldn't help think of

wow i love that video

I think it's safe to say both song and video exemplify "'90s revival."
