There's a second classic rock cover in there: 'On the Wall' is 'Baba O'Riley' in all but name.

I'm exaggerating, but the echoes are hard to shake off.

it's a jesus & mary chain cover, so while i hear what you're getting at it's probably just as applicable to the original

Ah, I had no idea. I guess I should listen to Darklands.

wow, the On the Wall cover is breathtaking

album's pretty good, but also feels uncharacteristically low-stakes? which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if they wind up releasing Dear Tommy soon I'm guessing it'll be another 90 minute opus or something

That's how it feels to me too.

I really want a Chromatic’s cover of a Leonard Cohen song, with their Montreal connections.

Slowly beginning to agree with the "this is their best album" take. Love the "Light as a Feather"->"Touch Red" trio especially

PS it looks like 'I Can Never Be Myself When You're Around' is quietly back on Spotify? <3

five months pass...

another new album of sorts has been released - Faded Now. it seems to be a mix of alternate versions of Closer to Grey tracks and new tracks. it's also been added to the Closer to Grey deluxe edition, so i guess these new tracks are essentially Closer to Grey b-sides/outtakes?
