I hope I can cop this EP tomorrow.

Loved it. Bodes well for the rest I think. Sounded way more hi-fi/studio quality than I was expecting too.

Wow, they just played it....that was super super nice. Very simple acoustic song w/ Avey signing some pretty direct lyrics. Bodes well for the rest I think. Sounded way more hi-fi/studio quality than I was expecting too.

Absolutely, I thought they were going to go the Campfire Songs live recording route for a majority of it. The dry vocals are welcome though, really nice to hear them stripped down and somewhat minimal. I was hoping for a bit more abstraction and ambience, but maybe some of the other tracks on the album will be. Really upset I won't be able to go to my local store at the opening for RSD but I am going to swing by after work and see if they have any copies left.

To me, it most resembled the acoustic Pulleys from the kexp session

I think it really reminds me of "Foetus No Man" in some sense.

that song was really better than I could have even imagined. I can't wait to hear the EP tomorrow!

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:19 pm

The song was good, but I feel I really only like it because it's getting me hyped for the release. I have a feeling that was the worst song (and that's not a bad thing) on the release though to be honest. Cannot wait.

Yo samthefireball thanks for recording but I don't think u are allowed to post the link since it's copyrighted material

Oh shit listening now, this is so dope

Almost like a bossa nova guitar pattern mmm

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:52 pm

Awesome! Listening now. Any chance someone made a tracklist from the inspiration songs they were playing before?

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:52 pm

^AC said they'll post a tracklist for that later tonight

Post **Posted:** Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:02 pm

Woo-hoo! God this is so good. Can't wait.

So... I live in a medium sized city and 3 record stores are participating in record store day. I'm not sure if any of them are getting this record but I would assume they would each get at least one, right? Should I wait in line?

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:51 am

this is legitimately good. shoutout dave and brian for coming through with a sick song

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 1:22 am

oh my god. what a song. what the eff

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 1:29 am

wait there is a download code?? I wouldn't expect that from an RSD release but it would make my day/life

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 1:32 am

Chance this freebirds tonight? Or better to try my luck early tomorrow morning for an in-store?

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 2:37 am

The vocals immediately made me think of Sleeper Factory and Sasong, two of the most beautiful, heartfelt Avey songs. I absolutely love this and did not expect anything like it. So excited that Dave still has this in him.

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 3:15 am

instant classic. I immediately know that I'll go back to this song more than my favorites from the past two eras.

I was expecting something more in line with ttg or new psychoactives, which I enjoy both, but this is really next level. agree with whoever said this was the best thing since oddsac.

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 3:24 am

can i get a pm

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 4:51 am

So glad there's a download code

I wanna give them my money for this though, hope there's a digital release soon!

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 5:03 am

Anyway blue noses is stunning

Post **Posted:** Sat Apr 22, 2017 5:10 am

Oh shit, man of oil

Agree wholeheartedly with this
