Balance and Composure - Light We Made (Oct 7 2016) Album • Page 90

New acoustic EP incoming from Jon:

 

yes please

 

Sounds Mat Kerekes-like, I can dig that.

 

I believe I have 2 vinyl records still ordered but no update. Between these and my Underoath vinyl I'm pretty bummed at recent vinyl orders. Can things really be still backed up due to covid?

 

Yes

 

things are worse than ever—upwards of a year for production time from what I've heard

 

Great track. The extra bits of production on top of the acoustic guitar sounds great. Would love the full band sound of course though. Partly feels like a B&C demo for LWM.

 

Really really enjoy that song

 

Love it

 

Oh yeah that's good. Great to hear Jon's voice on a new track.

 

Missed his voice

 

Here we go

Creeks full-length I guess?

 

I think Jon said it’s an EP but yeah, it’s out Friday

 

EP is fine — mostly just nice to hear his voice again. Really pretty melodies & harmonies too, he’s gotten a lot better at singing in the last few years. As much as I love Midnight Zone and Spinning, those falsettos still sound a little weird to me to this day haha. He really nails them here. Dunno how much I’ll go back to the whole thing but Glue, Bluffin, and Out Of Touch are very nice

 

was just going to say how nice it is to hear Jon singing again

 

Listening to TTWTAM again after a while and I love this album so much. Definitely my favorite era. I know lot of people dislike the production choices, but I think this album has some of the band's best songs for sure. Parachutes, Lost Your Name, and Reflections are exceptional.

 

I'm digging the EP. Never stop making music, Jon

 

Will echo above...brings a smile to my face just to hear Jon's voice on new stuff. Three songs into the EP and will definitely be jamming this on some long drives this summer.

 

Cool little acoustic EP but don't think I'll return to it. Its definitely promising to see Jon still making music though.

I still have that erection kids cd. Siren Records had em up front for free once upon a time.

gonna check this out for sure.

 

Have played through TTWTWM a couple times today, it’s been a minute. Keepsake goes so hard, that bridge has gotta be one of the best moments of their career

Edit: this post felt familiar and apparently I said nearly the same thing like a year ago lmao. Not deleting bc it’s the truth so nice I said it twice

 

What did he say on podcast about balance?

 

You got me to relisten to their discog yesterday. I'll forever wish for a remix/master of TTWTWM because that record sounds overcompressed as hell, especially on the drums. But the songwriting is sooo good.
