Still waiting on my B+W

[GloomForever]

Just got an email from Indiemerch asking me to update the payment info on the Black/White, so I assume those are shipping out. Also really glad they reached out to get new payment info instead of just cancelling on me.

I've had mine since Friday. I think they started shipping Wednesday.

Mine sounds great. Whole album rules but for me it gets better and better as the album progresses (love side B). Can only imagine how this sounds live (((LOUD)))!!

Bought this on a whim and it arrived yesterday. I'm really loving this album, thanks to everyone here who talked up how great this band is <3

[radiatorhums]

Mine is waiting for me when I get home on Tuesday.  Glad to hear that everyone is digging the album, I'm really excited to finally listen to it!

This sounds closer to how I wanted Tired of Tomorrow to sound – less cheesy riffs or forced bits, and more of a focus on cohesive atmosphere.  Into it.

Don't think I've ever agreed  with you more, and we usually agree a lot.

This record is beautiful.

I've been spinning this non-stop, it's so good.

So not only does this avoid a few of the (minor) qualms I have with ToT – which is still an album I can enjoy, don't get me wrong – but what it does right, it really does right.  You ever listen to chord progressions or vocal melodies and feel like your brain wants to "fill them in" with an appealing direction, only to have the songs take completely random turns and embrace a weird tangent?  That never happens for the entire duration of this album and I love it.  I don't know if I'm making sense, but this record sounds what it feels like to scratch a really good itch.  The structure and melodies are really doing it for me.  Earlier I texted a friend that it feels like the best parts of Guilty of Everything, but strung out across an entire album.  I don't want to jump the gun after listening for just a few days, but I think this may be my sleeper-nomination for shoegaze AOTY, unless I've spaced on something.

I know the feeling you described and agree so far. I need some more time with this though.

[JRHews]

Been playing it non stop as well. Soaking it all in....standouts Head of Stone and Liberate the World, but the whole album is cohesive as fuck, flows really well song to song, and that ambient/drone interlude, perfectly timed. In love so far.

Glad someone gets it.  To be fair I haven't kept up with every release in the shoegaze thread, this year.  But unless we can count Alcest's dreamy Kodama, this is a last-second 'gaze highlight in my books.  We'll see how it holds up.

[jhulud]

And here I am. Haven't even ordered this. I have utterly failed.

Aren't you the OP?  It'd be pretty ironic if you missed out entirely.  Don't be that guy.  Have you at least listened to the whole album?

[Thomas³]

Yeah, I'd order it ASAP. The US label went under, so once the black is gone your only option if the Euro press.

[radiatorhums]

Finally got time to listen to this and was very pleased with it.  Nice album to finish out the year with.

[gazzo]

I've seen quite a few here in the wild in Belgium. Think about 19.99€. If someone needs it picked up, holla

saw them play in Groningen, NL yesterday night. Getting home at 5 in the morning after a total of 6hrs driving was definitely worth it though!

According to their drummer it was their first time playing the new songs live, and it was probably my second favorite show this year (after Julien Baker). They even had the European pre-order pressing /100 with them at the merch table, 80 of which had been allocated for the pre-order with the rest being held back for sale on this tour. If I'm not mistaken all remaining copies of that pressing were sold yesterday, but they should still have the white variant. Anyway if you are living halfway close to any place they are playing, go!
