this is fucking great

Boy, is that great. Great video, too. (Song pairs well with the new Pearl Jam ...)

I hope my daughter likes this.

I happily listened to it like 10 times in a row yesterday. m bison, what are your lame comparisons? I hear a little Kate Bush and Alanis Morissette in the vocals in various parts.

My bestie said St Vincent

good call.

Yup, this is great. I hear those Kate Bush echoes too (which seem to be everywhere the last few years), but the pulsing beat is a new and welcome thing.

i like this better than any st vincent i've ever heard

kate bush! and latter-era radiohead.

oh and the breathy part reminds me of tour de france by kraftwerk

I love this

xp: I had been thinking Meredith Monk, but Tour de France is probably closer.

Also the one-note humming sample reminds me of the "ha ha ha ha" from O Superman. See also the harmonized vocals on "con-trol" and "eyes closed" in the chorus, although Hayley isn't nearly as vocodored.

little coda for the video. more horror imagery. i'm... very happy

Cool!

is everybody ready for another new song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3WJjuG1yNQ

this is even more low-key and Radiohead-y!

"now that i finally wanna live / the ones i love are dying"

Holy shit, Hayley! Can't wait to listen to this.

(the "holy shit" because I'm surprised that she released another one this soon)

i wasn't as big on "simmer" as the rest of you but this one is really nice

Both fantastic. This one is reminiscent of Radiohead, but also, like, a creepy understated Tori Amos b-side (“Honey”, maybe?).

Not a cover of the Living Colour song to my immense disappointment.

Another great song and video. She's a very good music video actor!

think this album is getting released in chunks. first one seems like it'll be out friday

Pre-orders out tomorrow and here's the album cover.

i believe we're getting two new songs tomorrow, "cinnamon" and "creepin'"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x7jORhJntM

seems like the first five tracks are on streaming services rn

(actually just apple music so far?)

These videos and songs have all been incredible so far.

ok now it's filtered to spotify

"creepin'" is so awesome

and "sudden desire" is the best one yet

cinnamon is kinda roisiny

"cinnnamon" is also kinda tune-yardsy

"creepin" rules though

This is the most ILM record ever (even after just 5 songs).

The next song released will be about how much she loves balloons.

"Cinnamon" is not bad.

lol xp

Not feeling "Cinnamon." Agree w/the Tune-Yards comment. "Creepin'" is better but the total batch here hasn't been as exciting to me as I expected given how big of a Paramore fan I've been since Riot!

Huh, I'm almost the opposite, in that I love all of this new stuff. But then, I've only really gotten into the last couple of Paramore records. Regardless, I love how these new songs *sound*. Who produced, is that all Taylor York?

"Simmer" for sure

so far it's predominantly an acoustic singer-songwriter album and i'm enjoying it much more than petals for armor

https://i.imgur.com/mZBl1nG.jpg

overall: nice enough, a few really lovely tracks, certainly better as a whole than petals for armor

well thats saying something since I think P4A was one of the best albums of last year

The next Paramore album should be called "Paramore Is Still a Band."

"paramore is a band" (as opposed to hayley&co) was a constant refrain when they were still active as well. part of their dramatic landscape, slight overprotestation and all. wouldn't be a bad title no.

putting this on omgggggg

wait maybe i'm not

apparently there were breakup rumours yet again so i think hayley is getting a little tired of those lol

love me some hayley

The next Paramore album should be called "Paramore Is Still a Band."

Or "Paramore's Got Their Own Album To Do"

where'd it leak? not on the slsk

it's already out in certain countries

v difficult to find yes but i only have to wait eleven hours at this point

yeah, this is more like it

"trigger" ;_;

"no use i just do"!!!!

these songs are beautiful!!!!

I can already tell this is the kinda record I'm not gonna want to put on front to back very often but the right track at the right time is gonna hurt me

yeah, same

"over those hills" almost sounds like late-period cardigans to me

"kyrh" is devastating

Realize this probably sounds intentionally contrarian but I'm enjoying Flowers for Vases way more than I ever took to Petals (which outside of "Simmer" never landed for me). Yes, some of these tracks can feel like sketches but there's some downright lovely music and emotions here that are laid bare in a truly intimate recording.

I'm kind of obsessed with "Over These Hills." What a perfect, simple (but not too simple -- that modulation is key!) little song.

I never got around to listening to this. When it came out, I had grown pretty tired of Petals for Armor and wasn't really interested in an acoustic singer-songwriter version of same. But today, I decided I needed an autumnal album and this one was easy to reach for. Just listened to it twice. It was just what I needed and a lot better than I expected.
