paramore - after laughter - recording and anticipation

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.’ ”

i do hope there's at least one moment on the album where a guitar sounds like a mouth opening e.g. "future"

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.

I figured it out: Taylor grew that hair to spite me.

if you're impatient this is so so good. can't wait for friday

Need a new album thread!

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

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.

I heard the album at work today. It's so good.

first impression is this is the greatest album of all time

gonna start a new thread today

this / is why / i have made a thread: in which paramore make combat rock: THIS IS WHY (2023) album discussion thread
