Nevermind, I can see it now yay!

[howsoever]

We are so back. Do we think it's one of the Madrid tracks, like Religious Bop? Or a new one entirely?

Revisiting Buoys and Homies this afternoon - he’s so good at just dropping you into a completely new environment. So consistent about creating cohesive, immersive album sounds unlike anything else. Couple that with the pop bangers he’s done in collabs these past few years and, yeah, super hyped. But I’m also hoping hoping hoping i can wait until the full album to listen (Vegas odds - fifty to one against).

[roopn]

the face is angled a bit and the chin is cut off. helps to make the image smaller/look from firther away to see it

[muark]

Yeah it took me a while lol. Looked a bit like tetsuo the iron man when I was tryna figure out what it was.
Are you gonna score a copy today Roopn? Called my locals and none of em have it (Geelong Moment)

[Sputnik Monroe]

Just checked in with a local record store here in Portland. The guy said they will have it, but he told me it isn’t going to be released until the 18th and that it is called Defense/ Virginia Tech. I wonder why other stores for people said tomorrow and the guy here said not until the 18th? Either way, I am super excited to pick this up and hear it! Perhaps I’ll call tomorrow again and re-ask just incase the guy told me wrong.

[roopn]

Geelong moment hahaha
haven't heard back from my store, assuming it might land later in the week

[muark]

Ohhh shit that might be it. Maybe it’s single and announcement on Friday, which sucks I am itching to hear this. Willie, our man on the inside I see u lurking… u got the scoop homie?

[andthephantom]

The Euro sites have said the 18 all along. I fear we're getting a couple tracks only on vinyl right now and then an album announcement a few weeks later. Friday would be an odd day to announce an album; it wouldn't be too weird to drop a 7" on a Friday. (the website changes though - that's what gives me more hope)

[preakness]

Crazy how I haven’t found an nyc record store that has this yet. If anyone is able to pick up an extra I will pay + shipping + bonus!!!

damn, i know Panda Bear is a big basketball guy. i'm guessing "Virginia Tech" is in reference to their college basketball team - could be influenced by something else regarding that school... at any rate, cool to know the B-side name as well!

can't wait for tomorrow

will post pics when i get it, unless single art is released tomorrow with a potential digital release as well

[pitchup]

the pic is moving now !

hi everyone

[roopn]

welcome!

[MrAirplane]

love that the website is gradually changing even though there hasn't been a single social media tease about this. makes me think they know we got a heads up and that we're already watching

alternate reality, the web designer was struggling to get this animation going and we just watched their work in progress

Is it my understanding you already have a copy? What's the sound/vibe like? What could you compare it to?

Vinyl only PB stuff gets taken down from YT pretty quickly. Tried uploading some tomboy singles versions and immediately got flagged.

Any chance you can DM me the files? I dont plan on posting, I just dont think any record stores near me will be carrying it

Soulseek it my child. Nobody say the C word... then the floodgates open

very guitar driven as per the recent teasers, the overall sound is more polished though. almost a cindy lee vibe to the guitar sound. very pop for a pb song. vocals sound crystal clear and are very upfront. to me it sounds like a natural sequel to the reset sound with less/no reliance on sampling. loving it!!

[blindmowing]

[reeelax]

Hello old friends, good to be back for the pre-release hype

I've avoided all the madrid bootlegs, have just heard a few of the twitter snippets over the last few years. Excited for new sounds!

So stoked, a new era beginning!!

Need a c word/pee em/whatever we’re calling it pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

[evan6032]

I can almost taste it, so excited to hear this when it makes the rounds. My record store said they aren’t getting it

[preakness]

Wish there was a way to tell which record stores were stocking this. Ive called 10 in nyc and none are.

[awesome]

hmmm........ biggest record store near me has it listed online but release date is 00/00/0000
