Got a test press of this new LP (and LVL UP's Return To Love) via a t-shirt commission trade with Dave. This new album is goooood!

 

Also beautiful matte printing / gatefold packaging and variant too

That's awesome, I'm jealous. 

Can't wait to get my BIG CLOUD variant. Glad to hear the packaging is great.

Pre Order: https://tracemountains.bandcamp.com/album/a-partner-to-lean-on

new song.......................rips

i think this band has always been hugely underrated. i'm surprised they never really gained any traction outside the hopeless records type of fan. the new song ghosts is great.

*Writes a song called Mental Health*

 

*Kicks out member for asking for a mental health break from touring*

wow.  ya fuck this band big time now.  hopefully people take notice of their shitty treatment of a member's mental health (the fucking irony) and quit supporting them.

The gatefold is cool too. I can say that cuz they already kicked out the guy who drew it.

who was that?

this album is so bad that thinking about it makes me angry

I actually enjoyed both of the albums after this couch  is long  and full of friendship , but only if you ignore most of the cringe worthy lyrics.

Stopped by today and they didn't have it.  My mistake, it may have been over a year since I last saw it. I just know I have gone there so many times and seen it. It was where I bought my copy.

this is oop? there's always copies at my local store.

not buying a $30 flexi but title fight is still the best

even if hyperview was meh

Gold is a tour press. White is indie exclusive.

Anecdote: this band came into the coffee/sandwich shop I work at and they were very nice.

I don't hate it (I also don't like it), but I doubt I'll ever listen to it again when the rest of their discography is far superior.  To me it just seems like they lost the most crucial layer of their sound, the intricate guitar parts.  Almost every song feels like it's missing what has made so many of their songs so special.  The ambience is completely different.

That's fair but I don't think I could even sit through their first LP. I just miss something like the Picture of a Tree suite or Mount Hum that actually explore soundscapes... I've been in love with this band since the demo they've always had their own corner in the scene but this record just feels like another face in the crowd.

 

This came out in 2013 it's Nicole, Katie, and Josh from TWIABP with a different drummer. It's clear why Twiabp sound the way they did https://onehundredyearocean.bandcamp.com/track/cig-life

I'm pretty sure Nicole wrote every riff/guitar part I have ever loved in twiabp's songs.  So many beautiful sounds!!!

friends,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this album sucks

rip twiabp 2009-2017

i think this thread confirms that tug has been serious about the used all along ...…….....wow

To elaborate on the subject, I think you are getting caught up in the intent of the purchase. To me, that's irrelevant, if you buy with the intent to flip, or buy as a fan only to see a good market for re-sale and decide later on to engage in the profits I see no difference.

 

There is also the reasoning for entering the secondary market:

"I'm cashing in to pay for my dying mother's cancer treatment" --- good for you, hope she gets better

"I'm cashing in because I saw market demand and I can ask unreasonable prices" -- screw you, asshole flipper

go smoke a j

anyone else bothered by the lyrics "there's nothing wrong with kindness" when they've advocated violence against police officers and publicly shamed someone who obviously has mental problems.

I think that was Nicole, to be honest.

Officially don't have any expectations at all for this record anymore. Both songs completely lack the atmosphere and guitar tones that made me love this band. Even with all the new instruments and ideas it just feels so fucking flat. It isn't technically bad but whatever... the band only has like 2 members from their original core lineup anyways and it's very noticeable.

Yeah, I am over them.  I have never loved David as vocalist, to be honest his voice probably annoys me more often than not.  Whenever, If Ever has  really resonated with me, but that's probably because it came out during my first year of university and I had it on repeat for a year straight.  Good memories, etc.  I fell in love with Formlessness when it came out, and I still believe the Deer Leap split is their peak, by a mile.  Those four songs are amazing.
