i dont even kno i think they fused into one dude for this album ala goku + vegeta or gotenks fusion

Spoiler: show

get a ezra koening vibe on bagels. feel like theysound a bit like contra era vampire weekend on that and the next one maybe

[kingo]

panda's been on a songwriting role forever now i think, just writing a ridiculous amount of good songs (especially if he wrote as much as he seems to have for this one)

[dio]

ya, but dont forget dave is coming off writing stuff like a sender, your card and modern daze e.. theyre def both rlly hot going into this.. and a much different place than going into chz off of down there/tomboy..

been a lot of talk about vocal trade-offs, comparisons to boys latin, and calling this their most accessible record... but are you guys hearing these rhythms!?!? tempo is so high and relentless but somehow these tracks still stutter and stumble is such a sweet way (even just in the 30 sec clips). this is totally going to be much more complex and mind bending than we are expecting. i dont think im ready for a listen, it is something i should probably prepare for.

guys.. it's so close.. this album is totally their final form... or at least a giant leap closer to it

Hoping you're dead wrong about "final form"... I'm thrilled for the style they seem to be going toward, and this record in general. But I've been hoping for some time that they end up having a really long career, kinda like the Flaming Lips where they just keep evolving into something different. As long as they don't end up collaborating with whoever the new Miley is ~15 yrs from now. Or maybe they should, fuck it!

[kingo]

this album might almost like a full band, full throttle, and fleshed out version of pbvsgr. pbvsgr was about the drum breaks and repetitive pop melodies... but this is all of that energized and fleshed out (kinda)

so many ways to wait, feet on the lines that border us, comma, don't take a shot or smoke to trigger just a little bit, comma, can't be a crime to meddle, can't be wrong to push the pedal, queasy and grime, no bevel, standing bombs don't up the level, so many times the prints don't match the brush that paints -

when i was young we used to put alarms on the doors and strings that the burglar met, now when I'm older i'm sure that they'll serve as the work for the man who collects, who's been stealing from me, when i was young my parents yelled beware of the ivory man who would steal and sell

grandpa, we had sweet days on the beach in (?), i remember, wish we could walk along and you could watch the waves until they curled september, these days i'm not so sure who is getting along or if they were before, i wasn't there when moses parted the sea, i wasn't there with you, grandpa, back in kiev, with the ladies dressed up nicely, in their homemade (?) and satin textures -

there's a doubled exposure just waiting to happen, i'm sitting and fading, brain telling it 'gather', two licks for the dog bowl, he's slipping through the belt loops, you're running ahead of the sound coming after, two mannequins in the window, suit up like -

absinthe makes the senses go dark...getting screwed, not much to do, when no one's watching, no one's looking, can't you see it?

AnCo is probably really excited about people hearing it so they're freebirding out stuff as much as they can.

I'm sure the band's excited for people to hear the album but I don't think they're freebirding stuff out. Do u mean the Amazon previews? I assume that was just a glitch or something

Nah I don't think that was intentional. Just more like the insta stuff and BWI. They're probably just as excited for it to come out as we are (well maybe not.)

[Boneyardfriend]

strong silver apples vibe on "on delay"

[moop]

I'm bummed sometimes isn't on the album! maybe it's one of those other two bonus tracks?

[Still Dawg]

Thanks for this!
So. Splendidly. Rad.[

I'm fine with lots of hocketing as long it isn't overplayed, which I doubt it will be. I do wonder how this album is gonna translate to a live setting though. FloriDada alone seems like it would be fairly difficult to pull off.

I love the effect hocketing can have on the energy of a song (digging it in FloridaDa a lot). They mastered it on MPP and I'm excited to see where they take it on this Bob Ross themed record.

First heard this early use of Hocket in a music appreciation class: [/quote]

[Still Dawg]

I was wishing for another acoustic album there for a while, but then I heard the new audio, and now my desperately sad smoke puff of a soul is saved, and I hereby rename the Universe to Universe 2.0

Is this zippyshare file what everyone's listening to or did someone actually rip the previews stream audio via audacity or something? This is someone's phone recording their computer speakers

I think that's just the quality of the preview stream. If you listen to the preview for Floridada on amazon its also not very good quality

grim reaped wrote:

Yea I'm 100% sure these are phone recordings unless someone wants to send me what they think is a direct stream. But what I'm hearing is not. You can actually hear them turn the speakers volume up at the beginning of floridada

Hey I'm the one who recorded the rip! To settle this debate, it's not a phone recording--it was done via Audacity. I did turn my headphone volume up at the beginning, because for some reason that affects output that Audacity records on my setup at least. The quality of the preview stream really was just that bad...

I appreciate the efforts but there's a world of difference between the Amazon preview of floridada and this recording, unless the quality online changed since they deleted the rest of the snippets idk

[Stanshant]

Are you high, you deaf wank?

I listened to the OG samples and this rip and they're the same. It's Amazon's 96bps stream.

Honestly if you say phone recording again I will shit my hat.

Shit ma dick

I think amazon's streams might even be 64

So not even as good as the Bathroom 128s...

just wish i was dead until this freebirds/is out. i dont wanna b alive if i cant hear these songs rn. ac plz help, if u see this just pm the album and ill distribute it. this is very important

i think this is like way btter than chz/mpp combined maybe

[Hellomark]

I've always wondered what mpp would sound like with super dry sj style production, and my guess based on the samples is that this album is pretty much that but played at double speed and dipped in chocolate.
So basically I'm going to email AC a new video of myself screaming and/or crying everyday until this album freebirds.

I haven't gone near the samples but that sounds so legit.

I haven't listened to the bathroom flacs in a while, but one of those sounds melodically like Simon and Garfunkel. Anyone else like the S/Funk and know what I'm talking of?

The more I listen to the samples, the more hyped I get. This Boys Latin album will be amazing!

[Saferintheflowers]

[denjanenna]

reddit.

one of the samples sounds an awful lot like Graceland...

[Saferintheflowers]

OMG I CANNOT WAIT TIL FEB19th!!!!!! I heard the samples .....holy shit!! This is going to be such a beautiful album ! The name is soooo right on point!! Thank You AC!!!!!! 2016 is going to be amazing!

There weren't more that were ever found, which ended up being good. i feel like they were prepared for someone to head to the airport and possibly record the whole thing but instead Floridada remained unheard on the internet before the actual release, and, the two songs that have been heard seem like just the right ones to be previewed!

well, of course to me. i said it.

anyway, here's a full bathroom recording of lying in the grass: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Sa8v4jIiXT

it matches up with the 30 second amazon preview of Lying In The Grass
plus you get to hear some flight announcements at the end of the song

[TetsuoUnderFire]

I don't know what to think about these Amazon samples. This seems like such a venture away from anything else they've ever done in some respects. I'm so stoked to hear this album.

[edit]Sounds like Painting With may possibly have one of the best closer tracks of any of their albums. I love modulated gritty synths that evolve and change over time from choppy split up bits into warm warping pads. So cool!

Does anyone else feel that there's a slight semblance of Grass within Floridada? Specifically the percussion and some of the melodical elements?

[yoyoyoyoy]

Sorry to be dumb, but where on Reddit do I find those samples? There's a bunch of threads, but I see no links...

look through the comments on the amazon sample thread
