I like it as well, especially the middle/last half of the album. Could do without the filler tracks but at least they’re not very long.

New record dropped yesterday, what do you guys think?

We just need a Soft Kill thread at this point with how fast they crank out releases.

Wow, some new songs! My introduction to Jakob was when they opened for ISIS on their final tour, feels like a lifetime ago.

I’m looking for the Screaming Trees LP if anyone has a link. Edit: Snagged one on Discogs for a solid price.

Damn it, was gonna pass since I have the box set but that bonus LP sold me.

I was underwhelmed at first but it really started to click with me after multiple listens yesterday. So far, "Loved Ones", "All Mountains" and "The Fight" are the standouts for me.

Green TTL press arrived yesterday, looks and sounds great.

I have way too many pressings of this album already so I’ll be passing. Interested to hear the reviews though.

So a buddy of mine and I saw Head Automatica the other night in Seattle, which was very sparsely attended. I’m not even a fan of the band but my buddy is and he was pretty disappointed by the performance (they only played for an hour and the opening band Foxy Shazam blew them off the stage). Anybody else see this tour? Tickets were $75 and the tour was hardly promoted so I’m not surprised by the small attendance.

Does this mean as a shoegaze fan I have to like every shoegaze instrumental from every shoegaze album? Just checking, I may have to turn in my fan card if so 😂

TTL shipping notification. Can’t wait to get it and skip prayer remembered lol

Kisses is a catchy track but it sounds too much like something off of the s/t album. Agreed though, if they cut a couple of tracks it would be an amazing EP.

I’m not a huge fan of prayer remembered and its placement as track 2 is kinda odd. I also wish the album was longer but overall I’m enjoying it.

Anyone get a shipping notification from TTL yet? Not in any hurry, just curious. Album is good, just wish it was longer.

Silver Platters and Easy Street have a lot of stuff. I 2nd the Zions Gate recommendation for metal, his prices can be high but I’ve made some great deals with him for some killer rare stuff in the past.

They closed with a new song called “The Fight” in Portland last night. Rest of the set was The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place in full, “The Birth and the Death of Day” and “Yasmin The Light”. Great show overall, it was an outdoor show on a beautiful summer night and the crowd was very chill.

Picked up the blue vinyl yesterday from a local shop and it sounds great. I slept on this album for too long, what a gem.

This Syd Barrett box is my first vault purchase. I know this is a preorder but when can I expect these to ship?

They’re one of my favorite live bands, especially when I’ve seen them in smaller venues and headlining. They pretty much just plug in, say “We’re Explosions in the Sky from West Texas” and then rock out, nothing fancy. You can definitely tell they enjoy performing on stage and really get into the music.

I’m seeing them next month in Portland, hopefully this isn’t their last album/tour but if so it’s been a great ride.

Summer drop is now live. Bootleg LP Paranoid 12” and Premium Drifter repress available.

/1500 The mailer was super thin cardboard, guess I was just unlucky. Just sent them an email with pictures.

So, my copy arrived today all beat up with 3 of the corners dinged and scratches on the records. It was shipped in a shitty thin mailer (I know, Europe is known for this) and I think the records shuffling around in the paper inner sleeves caused the scratches. No dust cover either.

Yup, $30 fee per ticket in Seattle too. I had $40 tickets in my cart but gave them up since I just couldn’t get over paying that much given the poor venue. Hoping they announce a show in Vancouver, I’ll gladly travel for that.
