did you actually find those for free, or did you win them? my local store did a raffle for these when they came out but I didn't win either

Y'all reminded me of this gem lol. Someone switched the "yups" and "nopes" from the original and the results are great.

Got this today and gave it a spin. Disc seems pressed well and relatively heavy. No audible issues to note either. Happy to have this as a complement to the 1st pressing of Trilogy in my collection!

I like that they went for an opaque marble vinyl for the first press of The Lost Sea, to be consistent with the first press of the trilogy. If that was planned, I assume a second press would be clear w/ splatter, whenever that may happen.

Sounds good. Thank you both for the info!

I'm not sure if I've bought anything from band's webstore on the limitedrun platform. Do you know if I need (or should have) a profile setup ahead of the sale time to help expedite the checkout process? I'd really like this release but afraid of a Mondo-like situation if it goes quick.

Star post. Nice surprise to see this announcement this morning.

I'll admit I never actually listened to this band before, but I remember the SRC-reissue thread of YPAA being a hot topic right around the time when I first joined VC. I saw the article about this release on Stereogum on Tuesday and "surprise-release first album in 22 years" piqued my interest so I gave it listen and wow. Loved it. Consider me a new fan. I also listened to YPAA for the first time today and liked that too. I'll def get to their other releases at some point as well.

Did anyone here attend one of the shows on the tour for his first solo album? That stage production was so cool and still one of the more unique shows I've seen.

I gave it a listen yesterday and at times I thought it reminded me of Riceboy Sleeps (Jonsi's more ambient side project), so pretty similar thoughts as you!

Yep that's exactly what I get out of it. As a big fan of Gang Starr / DJ Premier's production history, I think the sample turned into a hook for this song is fun.

Hey, just a heads up it's back up at UO as of 10:20am CST. I have no interest in buying it, but hopefully quoting you here will trigger a VC email notification for you to get it!

Damn, looks like most are sold out now. I would've went for the Someone Great single, but oh well. Thanks for heads up anyway!

I ordered one album on 4/14 and received it 5/7. Your post reminded me of that order and it's been sitting in my apartment lobby since it was delivered... oops. All good though.

Posting for the star. Really enjoyed the last album. Looking forward to this one.

Posting for the star. Not sure if I'll buy the record, but will definitely listen by other means.

Another connection to the Drive soundtrack is via Kavinsky. He has a remix of Odd Look featuring The Weeknd from back around that time. There's definitely some Kavinsky-esque synths throughout The Weeknd's new album too.

Now we need a video to see if that track played out near an Alexa-supported device actually prompts Alexa to do that command lol

It's more fun to be in a department store and hear on the radio what you think is the first 10 seconds of Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen when it's really Destiny's Child's Bootylicious lol

I gotcha. Good to know. And by the trinity, are you referring to the 3 songs in a row from You Are The Conductor? If so, that's the reason for my question haha. I want to see that!

Do they vary their setlists much over the course of a tour? If that setlist is what they'll play in Chicago in June, I'll def go see that.

This is still available btw. In the process of creating an actual FS thread for other stuff too. Reach out if interested.

Ha, I was thinking this just the other day as I worked back through their discography again since I haven't listened to them in like 10+ years. Like the vibe of that PF song has a connection to a bunch of their other songs too. It's cool though. Looking forward to this release, and hopefully they get added as the opener for the midwest leg of the Caspian tour as well.

Posting for the star. Doubt I'll buy the vinyl, but always really enjoyed them so looking forward to this.

The last time I saw them was on the People's Key tour when they played at the Riverside in Milwaukee. I remember everyone kinda had this feeling at the time that this was possibly the last Bright Eyes tour, which meant it was most likely the last time they'd come through Milwaukee. Also I've heard Conor has a particular affinity towards the city too, which made the show feel more special. At one point he had a hilarious rant about Scott Walker (our governor at the time), calling him a "Nazi creep" or something haha. The coolest part was during the encore, the last song was One For You, One For Me, and people started coming up onto the stage and hugging Conor while he was singing and security would then escort the first few people offstage, but more and more people kept doing it until eventually there were like 30+ people on stage and went all the way until the show ended. It was the chillest stage rush I've ever seen haha. You could sense a lot of different emotions from a lot of people, celebratory, happy tears, etc. It seemed so bittersweet thinking this was the last time we'd seem them come through. One of my favorite concert memories ever.
