    Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to give it a listen - really liked the last one

    edit: First song in. . . I hear what you mean, I think. It sounds like Rivers Cuomo on vocals...

    I dig the guitar sound though

    The first album was tolerable because the vocals at least somewhat blended into the background.  Here they’re at the forefront & doesn’t do it for me.  Agree about the guitars tho.

    Outlander teasing something for this Friday.  Looks like it'll be a single [Sundowning] off their upcoming record.  Still need to see The Valium Machine get pressed, but I'm probably down for whatever they do with a proper LP, if that's what this ends up being.

    Give me all the Outlander.  I’ve been dying for The Valium Machine on vinyl.  Wouldn’t mind Downtime either.  Stoked on some new jams.

    Written and produced with Chadwick Johnson, recorded with Sam Pura. Pretty interesting interview where Matty talks about planning to end Tennis System and how the record came about.

    Damn that was a fascinating interview but I shudder to think it was almost the end of Tennis System.  I’ve had a core group of about 5 favorite bands for the longest time & Tennis System is the closest band I’ve come to putting at number 6 in a long while.  I genuinely love their entire discography.  EPs & everything.  And the live EPs are some of my favorite things to listen to.  I never grow remotely tired of this band & was so stoked to hear about this new album.

     

    The first single rips & is immediately obvious that Chadwick had a hand in it.  Can’t wait to hear the whole package.

    That livestream is something else.  I would definitely recommend checking it out.  I pass Echo Mountain in Asheville (where they recorded the album and this livestream) pretty much every day and its certainly a beautiful recording space.  Really looking forward to the 18th.  

    Agreed.  That live stream of Black Mile sounded unbelievable.  I didn’t know The Sunshine could have sounded THAT great.
