oooh i wonder what the test pressings are

[foxtrot]

Yeh, weird that they haven't said that they are

[roopn]

probably skiffs, IIN, and defeat single? or could be reset and 7s

e. wait, "from the archive"... could be anything I suppose

[dansemanatee]

I foolishly entertained the idea of it being the music box show cus of the archive mention and then i remembered at least as of that interview that they don't have it atm

[roopn]

Ya dreaming if you think it could be anything unreleased

[Fovrodi]

whatever it is we'll take it for granted when we have it

[roopn]

Hahahahah

Wow, it's like an ODDSAC outtake. Kindle Song filtered through Eucalyptus/MotW. Sweet little tune.

Just noticed throwin the round ball is their 7th most popular song on spotify right now. ive always been kinda curious why it wasn't more popular cus its so catchy, but it feels kinda random. anyone know if it was featured in a show or movie or something? very cool to see a danse/hollin era song in their top ten.

[awesome]

Good catch! When Feels came out the dudes mentioned a few times their shared love of Golden Tee, how they’d seek out arcades in Seattle with the game while recording with Scott Colburn there. Think Brian was the main proponent, maybe Dave.

[dansemanatee]

Brian writing for sports illustrated is probably the most random ac trivia ever i love it

Recently had some life changing stuff happen and Buoys is hitting extra hard for some reason

Finally got around to listening to this. Wow. Very nice

Tabbouleh is a sweet song. Sooooo AC, love it!

Has anyone else heard the cover of Alsatian Darn by this pretty small Canadian artist Amaara? She’s only got 600 monthly listeners on Spotify but man that cover is great, super well put together reimagining of the song

Wow, that was nuts. Makes you really realize how genius those melodies are. Reminds me of that Rosalia Burial interpolation. Deep deep melodies in a pop context really hit massively. Amaara could rewire an entire demographic’s sensibilities covering AC’s catalog

i wanna talk hockey with geologist so bad its insane

Dang this is beautiful. Speaking of ac covers have you guys heard that lumineers-2011-stomp-clap-hey! ass cover of fireworks? Shit sucks so bad haha. Not to be a totally dismissive asshole, musically its not very bad but I just loathe this kind of vocal style

[Stories and Games]

damn coming out as a midnight snack fireworks cover enjoyer i guess lol, always enjoyed that one, never thought of it as mumford and sons-y idk



will take this opportunity to rep what i think is far and away the best animal collective cover of all time, this absolutely brilliant and gorgeous jazzy take on fireworks. i think if this ever got taken off of youtube i would die, probably

[Hellomark]

WHOA I had been looking for that Skeleton Me version of Fireworks for years! Couldn't remember the name of the band, just that there was a handheld live video of some band covering Fireworks with a female singer. The last time I saw it was probably when it was first uploaded! Thanks for bringing it back, it is indeed a great cover.

[Stories and Games]

yeah np :] in case you or anyone is wondering about that band, they're really just Born Ruffians with a guest singer, whose name i sadly can't find. skeleton me is the name of a born ruffians song and presumably they just used it as a band name for this particular gig because they were collaborating with someone? idk it's a mystery i finally solved for myself the other day and thought i'd share my findings. listened to the first born ruffians album and couldn't really get into it unfortunately lmao, feels like the sort of pitchfork-core that isn't really going to be remembered and that's okay. happy to just continue thinking of them as "the band that did that unbelievable fireworks cover"

[muark]

Super nice rendition.
Wonder what the theme was

[dansemanatee]

[quote="Stories and Games"]yeah np :] they're really just Born Ruffians with a guest singer

Whoa I didn't even realize that. Met them once a couple years ago, didn't even recognize them in the video. Very cool stuff

[awesome]

2 new psycho actives videos up today

[coral lord]

Roxette is so dope!

[rohcti]

Both are great, thanks for posting!

[MrAirplane]

Roxette is the last song on Bug Mall side B, called "Blue Haired Babysitter" on bandcamp. Not sure why they renamed it

Sounds like Sunset Surprise is a new thing

The music for Sunset Surprise was created by New Psycho Actives and debuted at sunset on 12/11/2022 during Swannatopia’s Bug Mall Installation presented at Lamplight AVL/The Residency at 821 in Asheville, NC.

[bullseye]

lol, there's more music videos for NPA than for IIN

[scrambledgreggs]

random question but when does "Good Girl" end and "Carrots" begin? there are three distinct parts of the track
