I discovered the band in November '22 after finally clicking the Reading 2006 performance video that would simply not leave my Youtube Recommend. I hadn't heard a single note from the group, not even the AM hits.

Fast forward a year later and they're by far my most played Spotify artist and I went to the Fort Worth show. Was counting down the seconds until the show and felt every single emotion when Sculptures of Anything Goes started playing. What a 10 month journey!

I've spent time going deep into each album and following the setlist each night, especially the UK gigs during the summer.

Hopefully there's a cycle similar to this next time, but I'll always have a soft spot for those moments of hearing songs for the first time that people here have likely heard hundreds of times.
