Sonic Boom mentioning black friday, I think.
Also they would surely want that pitchfork-weekend-top-spot!

im so ready to hear this whole thing with fresh ears in a way i havent heard a new ac release since mpp including solo shit (cept for down there i guess).... like idk, im just kinda hoping for the whole album at once. guess i could wait, but it rlly seemed like we were gonna get the whole thing at once.

I totally get it.

I actually feel like releasing a single kinda ruins the whole listen-to-it-all-fresh. Since people will cave and listen to that one song. I'd rather also listen to the whole thing all at once.

I might actually try to avoid listening to the single on Monday..lol, dunno if I'll actually last

I find myself skipping singles sometimes on albums, since I've heard them before so many times. I'd rather not do that with this album.

If it's actually a 2016 release, and the single is out Monday, that means we might have to wait 1-2 months to hear it. Damn.

[jetski]

It'll freebird before then

guys how is the burglar this fucking good, i can't stop listening, need to hear in good quality

yeah and this time the single is the first song on the album, which i think is the first time this happens.. and normally AC are so great with opening songs

Right, I can't stop listening to it. If a shitty airport bathroom cellphone recording is blowing my mind this much then I can't even imagine what the actual thing will do to me.

those pitch shifted Noah vocals near the end

In The Flowers and Spirit They've Vanished, such amazing opening songs.

This single being the first track makes me wanna listen to it even less lol, since I wanna be able to enjoy the album and obviously the first song. Otherwise, album comes out, I've heard the single, so I'd skip the first song.

[deadwall]

So, has any of this deduced anything about what this next eras gonna be? Centipede pt 2 w/less shit going on? People probably don't wanna speculate this early on but suck a dogs dick

Wild guess - produced by deakin and rusty santos

someone who listened at the airport said it sounded similar to MPP but without samples and with modular synth percussion. so more MPP than chz.

[dio]

actually the fact that its the first track kind of makes me think listening to the single wouldnt throw off the fresh album listen that much.... just surprised the thing didnt drop this morning

[Vegeta]

who actually skips tracks on an album

I really hope it's not Centipide Hz part 2, I'd rather it be MPP without the samples or whatever.

the best ac opening tracks are leaf house, did you see the words, and peacebone, tho.

[CMPunk]

I miss Deakin already.

[amber]

I'm going to listen to the single but I'm not going to download it to any device so I can't overplay it. I'm going to limit myself to 5 total listens lol

[Synusoid]

Not gonna lie, both of the tracks that we've heard sound MOST like CHz to me, just with MPP Noah + Avey vocal trade-offs.

So, basically perfect. CHz is my favorite.

[_ground_of_being_]

I really wish I could wait and listen to Painting With in its entirety, on vinyl, while high.... but i KNOW I won't be able to abstain from listening to a single/ boots

[Synusoid]

Here's FLAC files of the bathroom tracks, without vocaroo quality reduction; The Burglar is like actually fairly listenable now!

Now that I think about it, these melodies feel REALLY CHz. Both songs are so freakin' good!
HYPPPPEEEEEEEEEE

[lucasmoreira]

it sounds like 90s cartoon music themes to me

Lol bathroom flacs

this is one hell of a way to break the silence. these guys and their tricks. Burglar is so damn good. I've already overplayed it. ooops. also... those harmonies... i want to pet the sounds

[scrambledgreggs]

[Angelic Chaos]

Sounds like it's gonna be CHZ part II to me. Like, the instrumentation sounds so similar to Pulleys, especially with the rising sine synths in the background... And I love CHZ, but this is the first time where hearing new AC and it sounds like old AC To me that is! And over totally awful recordings! Either way I'm very excited to hear whatever comes Monday and will purchase the shit out of the whole album.

Also I'm excited to hear more musical Dadaism from them

Edit: I don't feel betrayed at all. AC is just doing what they can to stay current with all the other musicians releasing their records in weird ways. You gotta do what you gotta do to get noticed.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel a bit betrayed by the whole airport stunt? At first I thought it was cool and was excited because I thought that the fact that they let a bunch of people who don't care/don't like AC hear it would mean that everyone would get to hear the whole thing fairly soon after, but that doesn't seem to be the case. This whole pattern of cryptic teasing and then going silent for days on end while most of us don't get to hear/participate in any of it is getting frustrating to me.

If they wanted to surprise us I really wish they had just released or streamed the whole thing so we could all be a part of it. Also, I was looking forward to all of us being able to hear the whole thing fresh with no boots but now it seems like these bathroom recordings have made the playing field uneven like it has been all the other times.

Anyone else experiencing these feelings?

I get what you're saying. While fans like us having been waiting impatiently, the people that actually heard it first probably didn't even know what they were hearing or care.

I find the whole bathroom recordings thing hilarious.

[jerry wonder]

i just want a return to songs that change pace, develop dynamically, crescendo, etc and give me the chills and feels

[clayton]

From what I've heard so far, the tempo and songwriting seems similar to CHz. I was a bit unsure at first but when I listen closely to the recordings it sounds like there's a lot of cool sounds to hear. I'm excited to hear the whole album, it could be a major hit.

TBH couldn't care less how they release it. Better to do something fun with the album before it inevitably freebirds.

This is pretty accurate.

Ok maybe "betrayed" was the wrong word. I'm just a bit disappointed with how it all unfolded

Could be fake. I think this account was only created after the new album hubbub started. Something about using two old song titles in the comment feels kinda fake to me too
