No problem! Happy to help!

Why would you do this to me....

Some RK releases are being retired and not repressed...that being said, mmhmm is getting a repress on a new color soon. Keep an eye out if you're interested.

From the band, "Making the most of this time off the road with a new recording project. In 30 days we’ll write, record, mix and master a new White Denim LP. Starting now, you can support the project by pre-ordering digital and physical versions from https://whitedenimmusic.com. Throughout the process we’ll be sharing photos, videos, and rough mixes to everyone who’s pre-ordered.
Clock starts on Wednesday, March 18th. On April 17th we’ll send out downloads of the finished album (MP3, WAV, FLAC options), and drop it with our friends at Gold Rush Vinyl for a special one-week turnaround of lacquering, plating and pressing.
We wouldn’t be able to do this without help from you all and some local businesses. Special thanks to Rambler and Gold Rush for their support. Thank you in advance for helping to keep the band and crew working while we all ride this out together.
Look out for each other. Stay creative and positive,
WD"

So yeah... I’m already liking this more than Weather, personally.  Don’t want to jump the gun too soon but I think this may be the closest thing we get to an Awake followup, and that absolutely works for me.

Very cool! Here's the one I'm referring to that I'm using now.
 

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

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.

I have to agree. They did an awesome job with the sound, and it's pretty damn close to the mockup they posted. 

I actually think the transparent green is my favorite so far, followed by the pink/white. This one looked just like the yellow white split but with blue. Still dope tho. Show was great and they killed it as per usual. Really heavy Absent Sounds set and maybe 6-7 songs from DL. 

love this record. picked up the cyan white variant to match the CD!

Oh wow, I didn’t even realize since I only had it digitally. That’s awesome. 

Really happy with the white/cyan combo bc that's exactly what the physical cd looks like:

Same. Easily my favorite album of the year and possibly from the entire FIL catalogue. Hoping they ship soon. 

Ready for this, order the pink. About that time to listen to the whole discography again.

Instrumental album PO confirmed for "later this summer" via IG

He mentioned on an Instagram reply that he’s hoping to release an instrumental version in the Fall on vinyl. 😊😊 
 
We need this !!

Yup. Dive is the GOAT.
I'm more excited about the new Com Truise than I am this one tbh.

On reddit, Tycho mentioned releasing more music this year as well so if you’re not vibing this, maybe something down the road will. 
That being said, really don’t care for the vocals, definitely a change for his music as well. Easy has been a grower though
