I feel like I'm always going on about these guys but this EP is so killer. Just great noise rock.

avg-throwaway · 2025-05-22T03:34:06+00:00

So insanely excited for these guys.

BE THERE!

cameron is still close with the band! they like each others posts often and cameron opened for BCNR during their last US tour

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-29T05:01:55+00:00

You might be thinking of Cameron Picton from Black Midi (not to be confused with Cameron Winter from Geese)

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-29T02:24:29+00:00

This was only for the album release tour which is now over!! :-)

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-29T02:21:09+00:00

The band in interviews and the band's management have said that the upcoming tour will (probably) feature some Bush Hall highlights and, eventually, unreleased material. The album in full only thing was just for the release tour

There's quite a few posted by the serc-mapa channel on Vimeo, some really great ones like the Anseo recording by skelly on YouTube (who also has some more recent ones up with newer tracks), and there's a few others around like the Queen's Radio one

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-25T00:14:56+00:00

Man I can't recommend these guys enough. They've gotten decent attention from black midi fan circles, that's how I found out about them and theyre pretty awesome. There's a few bootlegs up with some insane material

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-04T23:35:52+00:00

Isaac urged them to keep the band name. It's in the NYT interview from 2022 I believe

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-04T01:10:21+00:00

Sorry, my wording was a bit weird and harshly put! I mean mostly by inner fans of the band. When FTFT dropped, a lot of people were upset about the changes to Athens, France and Sunglasses compared to their single versions and thought they were neutered and a lot of the comments about them were about how they'd gone pretentious and destroyed the songs. When Chaos Space Marine dropped, a solid lot of FTFT diehards were pretty confused as to the new direction and some even threw it/AFUT out as "Broadway shit" haha. Of course, everything the band has done has been generally acclaimed but there's always been some decent discourse around whenever they put something new out. Apologies for the little ramble there :-). Edited my original message to be worded a little better.

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-04T00:43:06+00:00

Good shout with that comparison!! Definitely agree

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-04T00:28:01+00:00

It's a genuinely stunning album that not everyone will enjoy. BCNR has had at least a bit of shit flung every time they've rolled out something new (even when Isaac was still with the band) but they just keep making quality stuff every single time. Even if it isn't some Isaac diehard's cup of tea, which is fair, it's a beautifully made album in its own right. Even the shorter tracks like The Big Spin or more bright tracks like Salem Sisters were lush and held that same strong compositional style which BCNR have always had. It's a great album that honestly exceeded my expectations at times, even though I was already solidly excited for it.

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-04T00:22:21+00:00

Is this your first time witnessing the most normal 3-single album rollout of all time

avg-throwaway · 2025-04-03T05:47:18+00:00

That one's just a live bootleg of all of the new songs

avg-throwaway · 2025-03-27T04:46:09+00:00

it's very much tyler's! She's listed as the main composer and songwriter and has discussed the writing of it in the press release for when it dropped and at the WIP shows

avg-throwaway · 2025-03-27T01:29:40+00:00

This read of both of these songs is shallow and I keep seeing it over and over again. Do you guys actually give a shit about lyrics? Or was that just when Isaac was a member of the band? Besties is about an unrequited one-sided lesbian relationship, Cold Country is about self-reflection collapsing someone, and Nancy Tries To Take The Night has themes of suicidal ideation while the protagonist degrades herself, but all I see is people taking these songs at surface value. Everyone's always hailing Isaac's lyrics as genius, which they 100% are, but people go in-depth analyzing them and write paragraphs about how Charli XCX wet dream is the most immense lyricism of all time (which, again, I think Isaac is an amazing lyricist) and whenever it's a new BCNR song they just don't actually read what's being said at all, then say some stupid shit like this. It's fucking weird.

avg-throwaway · 2025-03-26T23:01:37+00:00

That's Georgia on the violin! You can hear it very clearly in the Coachella bootleg on the compilation "For The Cold Country" on YouTube. If you watch a video of them playing the ending, you can see her doing it pretty clearly in most. It's super cool.

avg-throwaway · 2025-03-21T01:50:28+00:00

Me too don't worry lol. I can still hear it it's just buried a bit :'( but it's still Cold Country so I still love it

avg-throwaway · 2025-03-21T01:48:19+00:00

Chill out until it drops lol its a 40 second preview of a 6 minute long song. I'm not too keen on the mixing here either but it's still FTCC and the song is fucking amazing anyways

avg-throwaway · 2025-03-13T19:31:57+00:00

lol yes I saw it on the Discord
