Dashboard Confessional - Crooked Shadows (February 9, 2018) Album • Page 23

Been meaning to check her out! Keep hearing great things. Guess I shall!

 

"Leap Year" is amazing. Check that song out.

 

Better Bolivian, lol

 

when did Chris take over Davey Havok's body?

 

On a recent livestream Chris said that he completed the new DC album before lockdown started, but is waiting until things go back to normal before starting the rollout.
He sounds pretty hyped on it. Mostly all solo acoustic, in the lines of the first two albums.

 

That’s fantastic news.

 

Think i mentioned it here previously, but the new song he played when i saw him live 18 months ago was classic Dashboard at its best.

 

I feel like he says he's returning to his roots every release haha. I'll listen, but Crooked Shadows might be my least favorite album of his. Was just so forgettable for me. Hoping he can bring me back with something new.

 

Last release was definitely more miss than hit. Hoping this one is a true return to form.

 

Here's the full livestream with Brian Fallon. New song performed around the 43 minute mark.

watch Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem) & Chris Carrabba's (Dashboard Confessional) livestream in full

 

Any time a band/artist says their new material is just like <insert fans' most revered album(s)> I take it with three grains of salt.

 

Yup. Even if he (or any band) did new versions of their earlier/fan fav albums, they would sound and feel very different.

 

A coworker and friend of mine just put out his new band's first song. Usually I wouldn't share this kind of stuff, but the arena-era Dashboard vibes were very strong and I think folks here would like it.

 

Listened to this album while taking my daughter on a stroll.

We Fight, Heartbeat Here, and Just What To Say are great songs. I would love more songs like those.

The title track…..kinda grew on me?

anyways….its still at the bottom for me. They’re not bad songs. I’ve heard way worse. But like…I still get the thought of, “we practically waited a decade for this?”.

I will just never forget how excited I was hearing the Heartbeat Here demo then the official release of We Fight. I was soooo excited for this album after those two songs…..fuck.

 

Chris must be sitting on a few albums worth of material at this point.

 

I feel like he’s probably in a good financial position to not to have fro rush out an album a d tour if he doesn’t want to. And good for him to be that position. He said he didn’t want to release his new album until he can tour, so you’re very possibly right he has more songs than just one album because that record was done before his accident.

 

He definitely does. We got a new song during the livestream and I thought it was pretty good. Hopefully we get another Alter The Ending type of release....full band and a deluxe version with the acoustic versions. That would be fantastic haha.

 

That’d be great. His voice works well in both avenues (and maybe that dates back to him doing FSF and DC). I guess with having delayed the album something like could be possible if he wanted to.
