good question! first pb single blew me away while the second is just ok so far

the shaw deal single does maybe point at something a little more messy and new while the new pb stuff is tried and true, obviously love pb but might be more excited for the other cuz its more of an unknown??

[MrAirplane]

doug says a release show will be announced soon. i'm guessing it'll just be him solo but it'd be cool if geo was there distorting stuff live

[jordanrandall]

Just finished our interview with Geologist. Gotta say, I think y'all are gonna be pleasantly surprised with A Shaw Deal, lots of vibes, some haunting, some beautiful, lots of replay value despite there only being 7 tracks. Look forward to a new single dropping pretty soon! Our interview will be up a few days before the record drops.

[blindmowing]

Thanks Jordan ! Looking forward to the interview & the record.

New single is indeed here, Loose Gravel dropped on Apple Music (idk about other services)

greg on discord said when they interviewed geo, he say he may have recently finished his hurdy gurdy album. also he didn't realize that some Motherfuckers JMB jams were already put on bandcamp

[blindmowing]

really digging this single

[flare]

Loose Gravel is beautiful

[tdegenaro]

can't believe my excitement is split between this and grift, huge nod to geo, cannot wait for this album

Loose Gravel is super good, hella juiced for this album to come out. Thanks for the interview link Slippi, good one.

[sky crawler]

Wow these first two tracks are so great. This is the most excited I’ve been for an AC-related project in like a decade lol

[goofankle]

There was another new track played on the radio show that Avey and friends were on yesterday

I’m lazy. What’s the time stamp for the new track?

[goofankle]

Around the 1 hour mark I believe

Edit - 58min marker should get you the start of the track

[PolarBear]

I just got my record!

[tulis]

Awesome, enjoy and let us know what you think! Mine is out for delivery, too, looking forward to it

[PolarBear]

I’ll listen to it tonight after I take some gummies

[andthephantom]

Beautiful album! Got the record a few days ago and gave it a focused listen. More emotional than i was expecting (like in the way Fennesz is emotional). He really let the loops build in cool ways and had specific sonic environments for each track. One of em had a ghosty pullhair/rubeye vibe to me. Gonna revisit tomorrow. Happy to have this on record. It definitely feels like its a part of the AC world. I know Brian keeps mentioning it being a collaboration, which it technically is cuz the source material, but it for sure feels 1000% like a Geologist album

did anyone post this?

[Slippi's Applesauce]

i tuned in, loved it way more than i expected. great stuff

doug's guitar playing blew me away at the end, checking out the highlife EP now too

[tdegenaro]

yeah very fun listening party, geo very generous with info, though not sharing too much he didn't cover in the musican and filmmaker pod interview (great stuff).

album is great: a lot more variety of sounds than I expected from the two singles, album flows really cohesively. final track "raw deal" is an unedited track of all the samples geo used to make the whole album. 3:18 seconds into a whole record, very cool. one of those listen to the last track and instantly start it back over again.

excited to sit with it more.

[andthephantom]

Petticoat was the real highlight for me. A lot of space in that track in an otherwise dense album.

is this on the album or was it just part of the listening party? i'm not seeing it referenced on any of the digital listings but could be a 'secret' song on bandcamp or something

yeah curious, apple music says avarice edit (which to my understanding is also an unedited sample) is 2:20, which makes me think "raw deal" is separate... wondering if it'll be included on digital.

ETA: the vinyl is very clearly only 7 tracks, with the final (avarice edit) clearly the shortest, not long enough to include raw deal. so either digital only bonus track or just something brian included for the live stream to show where the samples came from. did anyone rip the live stream? i'd like to have the raw deal track

[scrambledgreggs]

the unlisted track is mentioned in this AllMusic review fwiw: https://www.allmusic.com/album/a-shaw-deal-mw0004420749
