cooool. getting stoked. maybe i should go snoop around there right now or tomorrow and they'll like let me join the band?

[roopn]

Deakin with a microphone has me excited

[dio]

honestly stoked to see a keyboard and guitar also. glad they have their normal gear but also curious to see if/how they utilize the weird like experimental instruments the place apparently has

[float on sputnik]

what's up new orleanssss
bout to head to the venue

[dio]

same. will be tripping in my pbvsgr shirt~

[Sputnik Monroe]

Yo any word on this? Any vids? Updates? Descriptions? WHAT WAS IT LIKE! My friend went and said it was slow, intense, and introspective, like it was designed to make you trip. Said it was like a whole album of new material. I want some vids! I hope to god someone recorded this!

[Chubby_Dork]

Someone on the subreddit recorded the whole thing! They said they’d upload it soon

the clips sound so good!

[dio]

was very cool. i havent heard anything from coral orgy so i cant rule out that some of it could have been related? but ya, all new stuff to my ears. maybe it is one-off material they put together just for this but who knows. avey largely on keys except when he left the stage to play some kind of weird metallic keyboard thing in a small gazebo on the outskirts of the venue (right next to where i was chilling, totally not expecting avey to like walk right next to me suddenly),

deak on electric guitar, singing a bit, esp in the beginning, and geo doing his thing with a typical 404/mixer type set up. a couple other people helping on back up percussion/vocals and sax. Avery on acoustic and electric guitar and keys . Deak on piano at end

music itself was very cool, and the projections and way they played on the trees was really something else.. couple sliiightly dancey partys, kind of got less noisey oddsac vibes... avey singing a lot. really hope the/a recording is HQ.

[terrestrialjane]

Glad it sounded sweet. Cant wait to hear !

[rampface]

Maybe we will get a live DVD and audio release similar to Meeting of the Waters.

[float on sputnik]

^there seemed to be some pretty official recording equipment/people with really nice cameras ..???so hopefully ?!?!?!

the show last night was insane
i wanna go into details but still digesting a lot of it
after tonight (hopefully .... i'm worried about the rain...) i'll be able to describe the venue and performance better.... god i hope there is an official release of some sort because the material is amazing

[dio]

an official release would be so ace. i was wondering if there was any remote chance that there was more broad plans with these songs and like it could even be the beginning of a new live/album cycle? almost surely not, but some of songs seemed so "complete" that it almost doesnt seem like something they cooked up in just a week, just for two shows, but obviously coral orgys and like glasslands are cases of that kind of thing happening. (plus i guess some of it could be coral orgies?)

also i should stress this stuff is way different than PW vibe. felt like a chiller more song-y oddsac or like full band version of what avey is doing live/solo except hes on keys maybe? thats kind of reductive but just trying to place the vibe... guess the vibe changes when u swap panda for deakin and a regular club venue for a out there venue like this

this is fucking brilliant. what the fuck? holy shit how are they able to do this so much holy fuck i really hope this is the beginning of an album cycle this is next level

[Fovrodi]

They did emphasize this is a site-specific event

[destiny]

[roopn]

That video took me a bit to get into but the second half is really beautiful

[dio]

Night 2 here we go

[Leogan]

Night 2, baybee!!

[rampface]

We need you guys to squeeze some info out of the band. Ask questions for us! So hyped right now

[Leogan]

It seems like the “site specific sounds” refers to the venue (The Music Box) having giant wooden and metal structures that double as instruments. The set was full of organized songs they’ve clearly rehearsed for a while, so maybe we will hear these tracks again in a different format and setting. One of the camera guys did confirm though that the intention is to release a full video of the show as long as “everything goes according to plan” so fingers crossed!

[dio]

Holy balls. Had a better spot tonight and goddamned. Got there late last night and so I walked around all night which was it's own thing but was front row this time... during one of the long transitions where Avey and deak left the main stage to play the other instruments Avey was like 3 inches from me singing into a phone attached to what looked like a wooden phone booth lol. These songs are ducking amazing. 'High on magnolia' and 'this town(?) Is breaking down' crushed me along with a few others amaZing to hear then a 2ND time . Fuck. Def a handful of professional camera people

[rampface]

Awesome news! Can't wait to hear this stuff

[Stanshant]

In terms of sound and instrumentation and tone, this and the Mothlight songs make me very excited. It all sounds like proper night time music.

[cody]

the song in that 5 minute video sounds like the ending to something. i hope the rest of the songs they played are this good.

[dio]

i think i like a couple even better than that one. thats a goodie tho. this is a tease of the last song... maybe like dont watch it if you dont wanna spoil how this set ends before we inevitably get a soundboard tho? it cuts off before the actual end anyway


i swear the 'magnolia' one and 'breaking down' ones melted my face/soul. neither of which are in this set of clips someone insta'd. deak singing in 3rd one tho https://www.instagram.com/p/BgaYBO9AysS ... =phillipak

[Chubby_Dork]

Does anyone know what the afterparty setlist was like?

[Tropic]

That Confusion song has brutally ended me. Music is finished

[Hellomark]

That second video posted just a few posts up... hoooooly shit. That's the most exciting AC content I've heard in years...

[dio]

wish there was a 3rd night... and hope that reddit boot is solid, cant wait for an official release

[destiny]

THE MAGNOLIA!!!!
this shits fucking amazing

[Hellomark]

I should have bought a plane ticket for this

[Tropic]

The reddit boot is a vertical phone video. It'll be serviceable I imagine but it seems like this was professionally captured so that's fucking sweet to look forward to

[dio]

some pics i took.. sorry none of these set up pics are closer/ higher quality

Spoiler: show

avey using a phone booth during a transition...


aveys set up minus his guitars

deak's set up up until he moved over to the piano towards end

geo's


and weird metallic keyboard thing that avey played for a sec that may or may not have sounded like a tea kettle, with deak chillin in back of pic before show

[destiny]

has there been a boot posted up? even if bad quality i needa listen

[speen]

Lmao someone on spiritposting posted video of geo and deak inhaling the balloons that were on stage during the dj set
