Single is a pretty good vibe, interested to see what direction this album will go in after being thoroughly underwhelmed by The Future Bites.

"this is immediately better than his last couple albums"
It totally is and I can't put a finger on it. Maybe because it doesn't feel like it's trying nearly as hard (and I still quite liked TTB and TFB), it feels very natural

Yea, he is doing all these harmonies and that stuff. It doesn't feel like he is dumbing things down and it shows (so far)

This is pretty sweet. Did not care at all for The Future Bites, but this might win me back to his side.

Very enjoyable harmonies. I don't normally love repetitive samples but the one in this song worked pretty damn well. REALLY looking forward to the new single after hearing this and reading the description of it.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills but this sounds exactly like something from TFB to me. Only listened to it once so far though.

It has a similar aesthetic, but there is more interesting stuff going on here

TFB wasn't all bad, it had one of his best songs on it imo, king ghost

"sounds exactly like something from TFB" this is completely true and yet it feels so far removed from it at the same time

Oh man, I remember requesting a listening party in LA when he sent out that survey but I never heard about the event T.T

Still excited regardless
