New single is great. Those album covers are boring and weak though

City Burials is the band’s eleventh studio album and its first since 2016’s haunting The Fall of Hearts. With the winds of a new direction steering the band on their latest journey, City Burials represents the fruits of a rejuvenating and profound chapter in the band’s legacy; a catalyst for its creators, with a collection of moments constructed out of the fragments of an ever-evolving life. Compiled into one of their most important modern works and statements to date, the finely-honed instrumentation provides a multi-textured backdrop with the voice of Jonas Renkse guiding us through these latest trials of loss and ruin. Beyond their core creative duo, Katatonia are very much a full-blown band, and the chemistry between Jonas, Anders and their band mates – bassist Niklas Sandin, drummer Daniel Moilanen and most recent recruit, guitarist Roger Öjersson – has never sounded more potent, with City Burials being the first album Katatonia have made since Öjersson became a full-time member. Inspired by an injection of fresh blood into Katatonia’s creative brew, City Burials is an album that sees the band reclaim part of their heavy metal roots, via several moments of exuberant, old school classicism, deftly woven into these new songs’ kaleidoscopic fabric. City Burials was produced by Nyström/Renkse and recorded at Soundtrade Studios, Tri-Lamb Studios and The City Of Glass, throughout October and November 2019, with engineering work handled by Karl Daniel Lidén. The album also features a guest appearance by Anni Bernhard, the voice behind Stockholm based act Full of Keys. Lasse Hoile’s artwork imagery represents the ongoing era of the Dead End King.

I just finally bought the Samuel Jackson Five boxset yesterday and now I see they are doing shows again, what a great match of happenings! Fingers crossed for a new album.

Publically, it really seemed to be Nate wanting to do a solo album, riding off the success of his songs with Pink and Eminem. Behind the scenes, I think there's a lot of issues between Nate and Jack. Nate dated Rachel (Jack's sister) for a long time, and when they broke up it was not that far off from when fun. broke up. Plus if you look Jack and Andrew always support each other with their different things, but Nate has completely dropped off from anything with them.

Just looked at the line-up for Arctangent this year and super pumped that The Samuel Jackson Five are apart of the lineup so hoping that means new album time! (Also Totorro appear to be touring again so maybe new material there but wrong thread)

Just an FYI to all you fellow Vennart fans theres a new single called Dick Privilege, full things streamable on his site. Video/Download/7" Gammon coloured vinyl drops tomorrow 9AM (I'm assuming that's GMT/UK time zone). The track is absolutely filthy sounding. Reminds me of Oceansize's rhythm section's side project KONG. Not sure if this means another album is on the way, I know Biffy spent most of last year doing that score and recording album 8 with a view to that dropping this year but they still record in the studio as a three piece as far as I understand. Doesn't make the time frame implausible for Mike to have finished something more than just a 7", what it may mean though is that if there is something bigger in the works it might not get toured upon release or it could be held back from release until it's possible to tour in support of it. Purely speculation because any Vennart news makes my pants fizz.

Looks like no tour pressing for the upcoming West Coast run if any of you were waiting on it:

Cool. Then I'm glad I didn't order it when it was $10.

WTF does that even mean? They didn't like the whole album and just because they aren't some fanboy you feel the need to put them down for an honest OPINION?

Lol you are so far off base it's not even funny. Keep buying your CDs on vinyl. We are all sitting in anticipation to hear your reviews, "tard".

I prefer to think it is because you are a moron.

The whole Stress EP is killer. Undoubtedly Tycho. Finally. Not that I’m complaining in the least, but does anyone else feel like this is damage control of the best kind? Tycho has consistently taken 2-5 years to release a new album, and we’re already getting an entirely separate “companion” album a few months after Weather dropped? If there was always a plan to release an “accompanying record”, from the get-go, wouldn’t Scott & gang have mentioned that at some point? Weather is a fine record. It’s fun. It’s breezy. But it’s hardly Tycho. While I totally respect the band for wanting to branch out and do something completely new, they seemed to get completely shit on. YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook comments for any of the singles or album links were just bombarded with “hey this is nice but lose the vocals”. I recall reading some posts where Scott was defending the artistic direction, but right after those tapered out, it seems like everyone had more or less “forgotten” about Weather. I don’t think it left even half the impact the band was hoping for. It sounds like this new album is going to be giving the people what they want after no shortage of arm-twisting on social media. Anyone else feel similar or am I just imagining it all?

Agreed on all fronts, more or less. I don’t hate Weather but I’m also not going to throw it on whenever I’m in a Tycho mood, because it doesn’t satisfy the same itch that prior Tycho albums scratch for me. It really could be the black sheep in their discography, though — the huge art departure ties in with the direction of their sound. It’d be cool if the instrumental version has a reworked cover that’s a lot more minimal and comparable to prior album art. In a previous post I said that I really, really enjoy the closing (title) track on Weather. It sounds like “classic” Tycho at the top of their game. Apparently Scott has indicated that the band’s next record will follow that sound, so I’m pretty pumped about that. Back to their roots.

Same 😞
