I'd expect an announcement soon. https://open.spotify.com/album/07AziZT07DGPR3GydGgUaf?si=0GkEomTLREK0S0V5QUQwTg What is the album called? And please tell me it has better artwork than the single does. I am not sure why but I really dislike that art! (Single is incredible though, of course).

And I'm almost positive that will be the album art as the bundles I saw earlier had the exact same art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I found an article stating that the album will be self titled, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Only the one variant so far. Love their music and how they know they're a summer music band, and release their albums around that time. But I gotta say they have some ugly merch designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highfives Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) In for this one. Since they're going through Merch Direct, it seems like their (MD's) team of designers has taken over the apparel design. It's pretty in line, trend-wise, with what is happening in streetwear fashion. You can even draw some parallels between Chon's merch and Deftones merch (both Merch Direct).

atlas Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'm here for the switch to MerchDirect honestly, whoever they were going through before kinda sucked in terms of quality, and MerchDirect stuff these days is always very good in that department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it's "hip", just not my style at all. Definitely get it out somewhere like Cali though where it's sunny and nice all the time. I live in the northeast and it's very much a blacks/dark colors vibe for most of the year. Don't remind me about the Deftones merch situation. I've been wearing the same mottled grey hoodie of theirs for 4 years now and waiting for them to drop something that I would actually consider wearing.

The MerchDirect team of designers is led by Glassjaw's Justin Beck (who owns/runs MerchDirect), so most band merch on MD have many similarities to his/Glassjaw's designs.

Did not know that. Now that makes a lot of sense, not only the designs but the price points too. Guess MerchDirect targets household name bands and tries to turn them into a unique brand as well.

I'd love to see a "Vintage Deftones" collection with the billiard ball, screaming cat, and script logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a Deftones hoodie from the Adrenaline era that was basically a Ride the Lightning Metallica logo, but the word Deftones instead. It was amazing and I grew out of it (I was fifteen for chrissake) and game it to my buddy. Someone stole it from him. It was likely a bootleg because I have never seen a picture of it since.

Don't really like the LA venue either so I may pass on this show, but I did see them in December for the Homey orchestra shows and that was awesome Edited April 9, 2019 by pmlevine N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Already got it in the OG post, but variant one is gone, variant two is a VIP exclusive, and they announced via twitter a third variant will be appearing soon on their merchdirect site.

N8TRU Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 There were so many variants of Homey that I don't expect to have trouble finding a copy of this record. I wish I jumped on the first one because the variant is perfect with the artwork but maybe something just as cool will come along. buddha4281 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 lets all complain about the artwork until the second pressing sells out too. who's in ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNstuff Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yeah, unfortunately they're not coming to my state, so if I could buy the record just out right, I'd love to. Have to keep checking back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
