Hmm... Rubber Tracks is Converse's recording studio. Maybe they were doing a session there? Something like their BBC sessions?

also..... lying in the grass holy fuck

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 5:54 am

all these songs are nuts i can't... pc music x grim reaper x vocal interplay x really good stuff

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 5:55 am

just did quick clicks on each but holy shit
on delay and summing the wretch sound so wild
and bagels and recycling seem a fair bit noisier and more ambient
(again based on literally one or two second snippets)

this seems way too early kinda hope they take em down

Spoiler: show

are the panda main tracks i think, but there's so much vocal tradeoff it's hard to tell. but those tracks at least it feels like he's forefront in the verses.

also is recycling

Spoiler: show

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:07 am

on delay sounds beautiful though, hocus pocus seems like it'll be cool

I hope so. These samples have me itching worse than the crack

HOLY SHIT THOSE PREVIEWS!!!!!
my initial reaction on first listen is that i'm leaning towards side 1 of this album. there seems to be a little bit of sameness through the second half, though i'm sure that opinion of mine will change and these are just 3o second previews. the album sounds totally fantastic though, if anything at all i wish there were one or two slower songs that kind of crawl and bumble along in the way that also frightened does, i think that would sound good with the instruments they're using

edit: very excited for spilling guts and recycling

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:15 am

while i am also a huge fan of the more ambient and slower elements of the AC sound (end of daily routine, no more runnin), i totally respect their vision of an album full of short, dancey, weird pop songs. it's not going to top MPP, but it sounds like a great and singular addition to their catalog

Definitely too early to say.

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:23 am

It sounds quite samey to me but that's probably because I can't get my head round the busy melodies just yet.

freebird in ten minutes please

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:29 am

uhhhh what are those golden gal lyrics lol

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:31 am

holy shit those horns(?) on lying in the grass!

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:32 am

VERTICAL IS SO FUCKING G O O D ! ! ! ! ! !

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:32 am

tbh i loved floridada but wasn't feeling these 30s previews as much. granted they are only short snippets, so im hoping for the best, but none of these thrilled me. (well, maybe 1 or 2)

Listened to Hocus Pocus and Vertical samples.
Faith in album restored

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:39 am

lol, bagels in kiev really sounds like a hip-hop song

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:40 am

I feel horrible but I'm getting weird Owl City vibes at certain points in these samples. Kinda awful

friendly reminder that the sample quality is still shit

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 6:48 am

Listening again for the chord changes, they're becoming more distinctive. I'm quite happy not to be immediately blown away, most of my favourite AC has taken me some time to unravel. This seems melodically more complex than much of what they've done for a long while, brings back that jumpy itchy energy. Me gusta saltar.

yeah just listen to floridada normal/ high quality then listen to the preview. Sounds like a tin can in comparison. I listened to a few, might keep going but this feels wrong.

Yeah. There's definitely distinctions between melodies in every song, but I will say that I'm getting similar vibes from all of the tracks.

But who cares? You don't need to get every feeling from one friggin' album. That's why discographies and other artists exist. I think that this is just the kind of album that's great for dancing and getting pumped, and there's nothing wrong with that. It clearly seems to be excelling greatly in that respect so far

Holy fuck I'm fully erect for this album now

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 03, 2015 7:46 am

Listened to every sample and now kinda regret it, mostly because the quality is so terrible. But man, these songs all sound nuts. I can't wait to have the full thing all to myself in hi quality. One gripe people seemed to have with CHz was how it sounded less like a new sound and more like an album done in their general style/comfort zone. This however all sounds super new for them tho.
