The video should be live on YouTube in about 30 minutes but I just watched it on Apple Music

Really dug the colors and the layering

Panda going full trap

From Apple Music:

Waking on a may be cloudy, may be rain
Playing at a maybe cloudy kind of game
Slip on every step amidst a morning rush
Crashing like a fact and now I'm in its clutch

I'm juking all the baggage
Keep it in a straight line
And if when separated
I can keep it in the right mind
(Just one time)
And then i slip into a feeling

Slip into a feeling, write a little rhyme
Ladies riding refuse like a rooster's cry
I'm tickled with a gobble, what you gonna do?
Vision like a bubble right in front of you

Even when a noggin is a cup of dread
Used to be a comment, was a temporal thing
And every single good jam dries
Drying on the vine
Like a little sweet thing
Rotting in a can

Wasn't super impressed on first listen, but then I played it in my car and now it's on repeat. Gotta let that bass vibrate.

It's a bit straight for my tastes. The melody is default Peebler preset karaoke improv. Synths sound cool and pretty fresh but beat is redundant. Don't really get it's. Skippable album track tier. Sequential Circuits or Rob Frost tier, at best.

Isn't really clicking with me yet sadly....then again I felt the same way about the Buoys singles until I heard the full album, so maybe it'll all come together for me in the future

Nice simple song with strong bass.
There's a cool hard pan to the left at 2:25. Wish he fucked with the outro more, but its cool as it is. Some of the background vocal runs are sick too. I can never take those trap hi-hats seriously tho. I hear em on peoples phones every day waiting for the bus/train so it kinda feels tacky to me. But its always inspiring to hear AC/PB go for new sounds.

I like how the video has the classic rap video "walk towards the camera" style. Also liked how the video continues after the song is over.

Wish anyone who played music through their phone waiting for the bus/train got legally pushed in front of bus/train

Haha, that would thin the heard for sure. Its interesting thinking about how much of the song they're not even hearing with the phone speaker.

On the contrary, people blasting bluetooth speakers when riding their bike is pretty cool.

I think ADWTH and BUOYS made this less jarring

I was thinking about the comments he made about wanting to sound more contemporary so his music was more relatable to a younger audience. I think if I were an outsider (not a superfan) I think I would totally see this and buoys as total mid-life crisis. Good thing I'm not!

I like the song, a nice lil banger from Lil P Bear. Would love to hear an ep with rapper and him just doing some kind of adlib and chorus.

I like it. I feel like AC has been inspired by this kind of sound for a while so personally im psyched to hear his take on that direction

Riight?! People always hate on new stuff, though. In like 6 months everybody will be drooling over this track.

largely agree with this, i think having the context of his recent work (including collabs, like that 'yeah' at 1:07 is absolutely because he's been hanging out with dean blunt lol) makes it a lot easier to understand where he's coming from. and likewise, i think this track gives really interesting context to what he's doing on buoys, which on the surface could almost come across as basic singer-songwriter & acoustic guitar stuff.
he's doing a lot of super interesting stuff right now that I wouldn't even come close to taking seriously if i wasn't already a fan and invested in giving thought to his/the band's work.

If anything, it's the exact opposite on here.
