They're probably still exhausted from putting out the last one.

The Cicada’s Song pt. 1 is amazing on its own, but (this is gonna be cheesy as hell) it hits so perfectly during a summer sunset

i'd be shocked if they released anything this year, but that's mostly because there's been such a huge gap between releases and they seem like perfectionists considering how wild this album is.

I've been looking for any info I can on this band, they don't seem to have much of a presence outside of a bandcamp and few recent live performances on youtube. I found a few things on the interwebs. In case anyone finds it interesting, here's what I found:

A write up possibly by the frontman Christopher Noyes. Seems to be in a similar style to the lyrics so I think it is a safe guess.
http://triplecrownrecords.com/artists/adjy

A local paper doing a writeup on Christopher Noyes. My guess is this is the same person as in ADJY.
"Noyes uses conventional instruments, keyboards and guitars and unconventional objects — typewriters or scissors — to convey his thoughts. Noyes said he uses the unconventional objects to help visualize the message of the song.

To Noyes, his music is just part of the performance. There is much more to his shows, he says."
The Idyll Opus with its lyric books seems like an evolution of that style.

https://www.theidyllopus.com/ Is their website with a store.



Other than that, they are purposefully and thoroughly cryptic and off the grid

based on what i know about how this band markets their music, that comment could very well be one of the band members themselves lol

LOL i wish i was a band member. Naw, i'm just a thirty-something that's been lurking here for a decade. I periodically come to check Sowing and Atari's recent ratings for new music.

I think the cryptic nature of the band makes me want to know more about them--good marketing! They toured this year not on the west coast so I didn't get a chance to see them. That probably would have been the best way to get some insight.
