They have new release Lottery
It is actually a cd compliation of both lps, the "Congress" ep and three outtakes. Aimed for the Japanese market you can order it direct from the band for non-import prices.
Was just listening to it last night, the three outtakes are rockers, good stuff. It was funny listening to Hammer of the Gods in this context, it really clicked for me, despite being a longtime SKWM & BP fan. Like I always liked the album, but last night the light went off and I loved it.

One of my fave BP moments and one I think displays the sort of weird dynamic those guys have...show in Chicago, Andy takes this just insane solo during, I think, "Red Pen" & I've seen him play something like 15 times over the yrs in SKWM & BP and I've never seen him play like this solo, otherworldy and wild. And it kept going & going, by the time he finishes I'm just completely slack-jawed.
Post show I'm talking to Tim and I'm all "What the fuck was up with that solo?" and Tim gets this bemused look, sort of smiles and goes "Yeah I dunno, he just does that sometimes."

^ ended up wussing out of this show, i suck
extra songs on "lottery" are fantastic, all more uptempo and catchy

Oh shit, I hadn't heard about that Lottery thing! Is that on iTunes or anywhere else I can just buy the bonus tracks? Already have the other stuff. Also, lol @ the bOTTomless pit / lOTTery on their website.

I wish they had their own release beyond being tethered to a repackaging of both albums. Haven't checked if the tracks are on itunes though.
― Evan, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
I heard the extra tracks via spotify, it's just two new/unreleased songs and a fast version of winterwind so I don't feel too bad about not buying lottery when I already paid for the two albums. Bonus tracks are choice though.
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 19:10 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the bonus tracks are really sweet but yeah i don't feel like re-buying stuff i already own on vinyl

new song is very, very good
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 15:05 (ten years ago) link
can't decide if i want to listen to it or wait for the full album
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 10 September 2013 15:17 (ten years ago) link
New album yes!
― Evan, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 15:27 (ten years ago) link
This is sweet. Blood Under the Bridge was one of my favorite albums from 2010, and I was half-worried they were breaking up or something when they put out that retrospective album.
― zchyrs, Friday, 13 September 2013 01:02 (ten years ago) link
new song is really great

Yeah I heard it yesterday, need to let it sink in (was distracted while listening) but it's a short, punchy treat.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 27 September 2013 17:25 (ten years ago) link
I just put it on now. So far it's the song I already heard. I don't think there is any way I won't love this.
― Evan, Friday, 27 September 2013 18:31 (ten years ago) link
I have to wait a week. A week AND a day! Lame.

oh shit missed this, ordered
― adam, Friday, 27 September 2013 18:47 (ten years ago) link
This was(is) so great. The last song killed me, I'm not sure why. It wasn't the lyrics, I have this problem where I don't focus on them very often for anyone, generally. I just get sucked up in the music.But musically it's just a super solid record.
― Evan, Friday, 27 September 2013 19:05 (ten years ago) link
so this is the rockinest bp record, huh
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 3 October 2013 20:59 (ten years ago) link
Holy crap this record is great.
Saw them last night, always, always a treat
― chr1sb3singer, Sunday, 6 October 2013 21:17 (ten years ago) link
oh man, i had no idea this was out.

Saturday night was a classic BP/SKWM crowd, not very large but a couple who drove from Canada and a kid from Pittsburgh now going to the U of MN who was a superfan but never seen them before and was basicaly freaking out the whole night, it was great.
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 7 October 2013 15:27 (ten years ago) link
three listens in, this is obviously brilliant, one of the best records of the year, etc.
funny though, i was listening to blood under the bridge tonight and all the vox on that album are super forward and comprehensible. on the new one, they seem mixed way down and i can't make a lot of them out--result is this seems a lot more oblique than any bp stuff to date.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 23:28 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I think this new one is really solid but I feel like the tracks blend together a bit more. Maybe it's the lack of dynamics.

Loving this record. Going to see them next month in Mad City.

are they a 3 piece now?

They're doing a free in-store and a real show here in Chicago, gonna try and hit both.

Saw them play the new album (and a Jason Molina song as an encore) yesterday at an in-store. It's crazy to me how well they make the baritone guitar and the bass guitar work together. They never really seem to step on each others' toes. I want a baritone guitar.

You can play "Where's NA?" in this picture of the in-store.

I'm still planning on driving to Madison this Saturday to see BP, even though it is supposed to goddamn snow this week. Milwaukee folks should be aware they are playing this Friday at Frank's with Light Coma (Brian O from BP's band, who are just fucking awesome) & the excellent Wereworm

is that NA cut off at the extreme right?

Does anyone know what the pedals are that Tim uses? the ones that look like the bass pedals from a piano/organ? I couldn't tell if he was using them to trigger an effect pedal or if they are tied to his crazy custom baritone guitar.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 4 November 2013 20:47 (ten years ago) link
Good show last in Madison, though the sound was spotty in parts, cuz it was literally a clothing store, but still worthwhile They played "Red Pen" and "Rhinelander" which was nice treat. A fun and Wisconsin-strange night.

this record kicks so much ass

i love how cohesive it is and also how each song is like its own expanding universe

I liked it to being with, but the more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. Really great.

this is one of my favorite things about this record - it feels really muted and understated, but then every so often a killer line comes out of nowhere and just knocks me out cold. "i have limits to my personality/i'll be anyone as long as you want me." jesus christ.

love the rhythm section on this, so groove oriented, just repetitive loops played so great
