Sorry so many of you aren't stoked on the new stuff; this is my favorite of theirs so far. Love it. Although I do think the vocals are rough at times. 

This is a great album. Will be getting this.

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.

Interesting. I actually really like this album and am glad to find that Pink and Blue is probably my least favorite track so I was a little worried I’d be disappointed. Always interesting when an artist deviates from a formula and disappoints fans, when it makes total sense from the artist’s perspective to evolve, branch out, and try new things. I mean, How great would another variation of his first three albums really be? For me, His sound was already starting to get a bit redundant with Epoch. Weather is different, so I can see why fans of his prior work would be disappointed, but I enjoy it for what it is, although I do think it could be a bit stronger and might work better as a collab EP rather than a straight up Tycho album.  This interview has some nice insight.

Showed up today, more of a frosted color than clear. Spinning now, really actually loving the female vocals, I'd listened to Tycho a number of times before but it usually just makes me want to listen to Boards of Canada
Production/mix and vinyl mastering are all really good, it's a treat to the ears.

 

waiting on my pink one to make it across the pond. I'm digging that signed Blue Screen Life back there!

Yes, it's a "hidden" track.  Unofficially named Untitled Music For a Record Player, taken from Eluvium's twitter.

Cheers. Thx

Alright lame question... side D plays likes it’s blank except for what appears to be a single track at the end of the vinyl (the innermost ring of the record.) the rest of the double LP appears to have the proper 13 tracks, so I guess this is correct? Like the “secret songs” we used to find long after the final track on CDs?

Got mine today. I’m actually pretty lukewarm toward Eluvium in general but I love this simple solo piano stuff so much.

Not Amazon but not worth making a new thread over

Some great psychedelic stuff. They´ve got Kikagaku Moyo over there and If you´re into shoegaze, I suggest look into Heaters

 

Same goes for Aurora Borealis in the UK. Some Jarboe, Grumbling Fur...good stuff all around.

Yeah, half of those are sold out, and somehow while trying to click through to view international postage rates I bought a Dinked edition at truckstore, not realizing til after it's in-store pickup only. Not only is that idea stupid, now I have to ask them to refund me because I live in a different country and can't pick it up. If they don't do international shipping maybe they could say so up front. Now I'm in a whole heap of email garbage, so great.  Dammit Tycho.

Lame. Sorry for the trouble!

Went with Drift because they had second lowest shipping cost, now I get an email saying ‘sorry we fucked up, we need 6 more pounds for shipping’, making them instantly the most expensive shipping out of all the options, and now everywhere else seems sold out, so beware. 

This Reddit thread lists some other websites where it looks like the Pink may still be available.

I like the new song well enough, but I only got into Cave-In through “Antenna,” and then fell in love with “Jupiter,” and to a lesser extent “Tides of Tomorrow.” Their space-rock material is unparalleled! But their heavier side is just not my bag of chips. So I’ll need to hear at least one more song similar to the single to pony up.

I’m in the same boat. Since copies are out there in the wild, can anyone speak to the sound of the album? 

Dang! I haven’t got this one yet. Are those mock ups or the real deal? Any chance that let us pick a specific one out of the 100? Or more likely just pick which of the four variants...

Got the /100. Love these guys. 

Man. I’ve always wanted to like his stuff more than I actually do but that was a pretty cool track. Might have to grab this one. 

11 for shipping? Am I missing something? Sheesh.

You should, especially considering SIA is their WORST album. It's embarrassing how bad it is compared to every other Pinback album. There, I said it.

Wild. I consider Pinback one of my top five favorite bands ever, and SIA is my favorite of theirs.

The new song, A Slow Unfolding of Wings, is in the second post of this thread. 

Ah. That's the big white space where my work wifi was blocking youtube. Thanks. 

Is there a new song streaming somewhere? I haven't been feeling these guys for the last couple albums but always curious.

Great song; not sure who approved that video concept!

Sooo is the tour version sold out? 

When I try to get tickets to the Phoenix show, every option says "item is sold out." But other shows have items I can add to the cart. 

Drum solo on Reset is the best part of the live show, and their whole show is amazing. I knew Darren was something special when I watched him literally duct tape his monitor headphones onto his head. Bummer. 

Dang! Someday I'll win something. Thanks for the fun contest though. Got the sunburst, so it's all good.

I'm anxious to add to my collection. Love these guys.
