Magicians -> defeat is some savage shit

I just listened to the Granada Theater version of Magicians, I can't phathom how different it is from the Music Box version, which is the only other version I've heard. This song has shaped up amazingly

Ha. Brilliant.

wilandhugs: 100%. I’m feeling a lot of Sung Tongs energy around this record. Doesn’t seem coincidental that “Genie’s” first emerged on the Tongs anniversary tour.

Wooooooo boy

Tracklist looks perfect to me. You can imagine the ups and downs

[Slippi's Applesauce]

Those stride cymbal hits crushed my soul and shattered my bones in 2021. When I saw it again in 22 it had lost a bit of their impact but I bet they pulled it off

[meys]

Wonder if we're getting this all today to maybe get ahead on Mitski's single drop for the same day? Nothing about it makes sense lol

[blindmowing]

i hope we get the glitchy version of Broke Zodiac

---

i know it's been 5 years since the song was debuted, but it's still wild to me AC has a song called "Magicians From Baltimore" -- what an iconic title for an iconic band, and it's a banger

[mildew_on_rice]

Dude the cover art just keeps growing on me... get this: The black "Isn't It Now" words on top of the orange face looks like a carved pumpkin mouth.

[Hellomark]

YES, Defeat in the middle AND Kings closer... this is p much exactly what I wanted. Gem coming after Defeat feels crazy though. What a mood shift.

Yes fuckin' please!

[tulis]

Don't know if it's been noted yet, but website has been updated with artwork and tracklist

[Slippi's Applesauce]

here is my final guess for song lengths down to the second, screenshot this:

NOTE: NOT REAL TIMES, DO NOT BE FOOLED

Soul cap- 5:44
Genie’s Open- 6:59
Broke- 3:33
Magicians- 8:47
Defeat- 21:57
Gem and I- 4:13
Stride Rite- 4:57
ACAB- 3:01
Kings walk- 4:33

Total- 63:44

[soothsailor]

them officially having a song with the acronym ACAB is so dope tbh

I'm guessing probably shave a minute off of Broke and add it to Magicians, same goes for ACAB (heh) and Kings, other than that this seems not far off.

I donno if Avey is capable of writing a song that's only 3 minutes long right now.. I'd bet it's closer to 4 minutes

what if all clubs are broken is actually a pro cop fight song... that would be some twisted shit. has ac ever made any song that was strictly pro authority... sorry this post is pretty fucking stupid but LOL im just amped cause we got the tracklist baby

[tay's tee games]

Yeah the 64 mins thing is messing me up. Some things have been waxed and shaven.

ACAB = Animal Collective Are Ballers

[Slippi's Applesauce]

Willie mentioned the new song being the shortest iirc

[blindmowing]

Probably just aesthetics but curious about the capitalization choices

[blindmowing]

Kinda cool symmetry

TS starts with a Dragon Slayer
IIN starts with a Soul Capturer

TS ends with Royal
IIN ends with King’s

[destiny]

that's sweeet, guess thats ac being pro authority

[Hellomark]

Was listening to a boot the other day where they followed Soul with Genie's and hoped that those two would end up together. It's like the slow, melty ending of Soul sucks you into a portal and then you come out the other side as Genie's starts ramping up. Will be a missed opportunity if they don't transition into each other.

Niiice. I caught the Soul Capturer/Dragon Slayer thing but didn't think about the closer. That's so rad.

[destiny]

so the last lyric on the album barring any changes will be "this whole world is tougher than it looks"

[scrambledgreggs]

MY GOD THAT COVER

also the font choice is so intriguing / perfect for what Defeat sounds like. this is gonna be a monumental album for sure

There's very few of these specific sequences in the 2022 boots we have. Soul > Genie's in a couple 7/22 boots, and Defeat > Gem in Brooklyn, 3/22. Otherwise, new territory.

[wilandhugs]

Can't wait for the 18 song megaplaylist I'm gonna eventually make which starts with Magicians and ends with Genie's

[Stories and Games]

soul has always seemed to me to be a song without a proper ending, intended to transition into something else. it just sort of wanders off into space after the "ooh don't tempt me" bridge and i could see it melting into genie's so nicely i really really hope that's what they did

[blindmowing]

Calling Willie….

Are there transitions??

HE LIVES!! He’s a real trickster guy. Love the whole *hiding in plain sight*ness of this little rascal.


I love love love the cover. Think I like the Defeat art a little more on its own but this cover is much more *AC album cover* and I’m really happy about it. Agree that you call smell the mustiness wafting off of it. I understand the dislike for the construction paper but you must understand that these are the actual pieces that Abby was cutting during their Tiny Desk. They had to use them. Also really like the look of like pockets? An emphasis on hidden things. And as said before, wonderful colors.

[Dudders]

Not really expecting any transitions given the recent trajectory... maybe a little cheeky one a la Hocus Pocus > Vertical

[wilandhugs]

Just thinking how insane it is that, in 2019, we were probably gonna get a 9 track album and a 4 song EP... now we got two bad boys + magicians, genie's, soul cap, clubs, and strung. Pretty fucking crazy to think about that far back...

[organic cat]

Crazy tracklist. I didn't expect Soul Capturer to be the opener but it's actually quite perfect, Genie's following it is surprising to me. I've imagined King's Walk as a bold closer and I'm glad they went through with it.

[foxtrot]

Dudes: the gnome is SAYING ‘Isn’t It Now?’
