Just the new songs I have heard live over the last year I didn't care for as much as the tracks off the first record. Hoping it was just due to them being rough before they were recorded. .....but also since the band is completely different behind Alicia for the new record I'm a little reserved.

jhulud Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 While Bully’s 2013 debut Feels Like tumbled headlong into the precarious nature of Alicia Bognanno’s young adult life, its follow-up Losing is their first for Sub Pop (which in many ways feels like their spiritual home; Bully’s sound is an outgrowth of the bands the label championed in the late ‘80s and ‘90s). Losing is a document of the complexity of growth: navigating breakups with sensitivity, learning not to flee from your troubles but to face them down no matter how messy they may be (“Well, this isn’t the summer I wanted,” she muses on “Blame,” before admitting that she’s trying to “cut down on booze and you”). Written as the group slowed down from touring constantly and Bognanno attempted to adjust to how different a home schedule is from a road schedule, her songwriting has matured from the quick one-two punches of Feels Like to tracks that contemplate the necessity of space in both song structure and emotion. Bognanno’s gruff yet dynamic voice is allowed to bloom, and it has a tenderness and openness to it here that’s new. There are multiple layers of wistfulness and care to her delivery of lines like “It just takes one disagreement for you to remember the one time I fucked up,” from “Spiral,” turning songs that could be one-dimensional kiss-offs into warm and complex expressions of regret. The group returned to Electrical Audio in Chicago, another home for Bognanno, to record Losing. Their core—Bognanno, guitarist Clayton Parker and bassist Reece Lazarus—truly solidified during the process, a detail-oriented push for perfection in which each moving part was labored over and polished. Emily Lazar’s mastering adds the perfect cap to Bognanno’s engineering; this is a record that has both shimmer and heft. There’s power in the guitar attack, delicacy and toughness in the melodic hooks, precision in the drums, and backbone in the bass. While Bognanno wouldn’t call this a political record, she doesn’t deny that the current political atmosphere and its urgency and tension haven’t shaped some of her ideas on this record, too—though she does not want that to be its focus. Mostly, this is an internal record, a universalized diary and an exorcism—not of any one specific demon, but of the host of them that characterize contemporary anxieties. Bully are growing up, sure, but their fire is in no way diminishing. https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/bully/losing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presale codes tend to be associated with the title of a new album or single. I wouldn't be surprised if the Spotify presale code is LOSING.

pepperonigin Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Damn, just started getting into these guys and they're fucking good. Anyone see them live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yeah completely new band....though both new guys on guitars also previously played for Pujol. The drummer is Casey who was Diarhea Planets drummer for years, but more recently has played for Mitski and several newer bands in studio.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Spotify presale code is LOSING. Thanks. Yeah. I had tried pretty much every option. I ended up doing the normal pre-sale this morning (and the code was FEELTHESAME). I knew it wouldn't sell out, but I like grabbing tickets as soon as I can. Bro Use for a Name 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 So what do you guys and gals think of this? Got my record yesterday. This is mixed with the vocals way in the front and overporwering the music. I think the overall songs and lyrics show a more mature artist but that mix makes it tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited for a more thorough listen but I didn't notice anything too crazy with the mix. Her vocals are definitely highlighted but it didn't detract from the rest of the recording for me.
