The subtle little Whammy-pedal bend by Taylor in the chorus rules.

Really like this one too. Feels like they're kind of stitching together all of the stuff they do well, the pop and the emo and the postpunk.

sounds like a great BNE evolution - really appreciate how they kept it at a tight 3 minutes.

love this, very much pro paramore going post-punk

For each song in the rollout, my initial reaction has been "I don't know. Am I on board with this? Does this do it for me?" And then I listen to it 2 or 3 more times before my mind latches onto it and after that, I listen to it for the rest of the day.

yeah not sure about this but I didn't like after laughter at first either so I assume I'll love it soon

There’s a real cohesion in sound when you listen to all three songs in a row - feels like they’ve been listening to a lot of early 00s dance/post-punk
Hayley mentioned Dry Cleaning and Yard Act as inspirations for the latest track, which makes sense
― Roz, Friday, 13 January 2023 14:06 (one year ago) link
Dry Cleaning makes sense. I've never heard Yard Act, so I'll have to give them a try. The vocals on the chorus remind me of Cansei de Ser Sexy.
― peace, man, Friday, 13 January 2023 14:20 (one year ago) link
But yeah, I agree that everything makes increasing sense in context. Can't wait for the album, but I also hope we don't get any more singles before it's released.

haha good comparison
love the new song, everything sounds so sharp
i do hope there's at least one moment on the album where a guitar sounds like a mouth opening e.g. "future"
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 13 January 2023 14:25 (one year ago) link
Ha it does sound like Dry Cleaning. Yard Act album is good. Reminds me of Art Brut.

The band wrote the album’s closing track, “Thick Skull,” a marked sonic departure from After Laughter, on day one. “It had these shades of a few different eras of us being music fans, loving heavy, drone-y, almost shoegaze-y moments,” says Williams, also citing York’s clashing guitar patterns, Farro’s thunderous bursts of drumming and even her own rare piano playing on the song. “I was like, ‘Man, this sounds like a band I would love.’ ”

Fat Mike [of NOFX] used to tell people that I gave good rim jobs onstage when I was 19 years old.
Ugh. Fuck that clown.
“It’s kind of like people see us like [The] Princess Diaries,” Farro explains. “They didn’t see the beauty, but we threw off the glasses.”
Take us to film school, Zac.

many XP but wrt the heavy/drone-y quote I’ve wished for years they’d do something in the vein of “you were holding an umbrella” by Boris.

well "future" isn't thaaat far off?

there's a whole lot of clips of listening parties floating around, don't think we're going to be disappointed
― ufo, Tuesday, 7 February 2023 21:50 (one year ago) link
i was thinking more "all i wanted" but with the vocals tearing it along with the noise. but "future" is pretty much in that direction.
