Microwave - Death is a Warm Blanket (September 13th, 2019) Album • Page 18

Yeah was honestly surprised they sold out in Seattle well before the show date, really happy for them.

 

was also surprised they sold out in portland. great show. it hadn't crossed my mind before seeing them live, but does the singing on their older songs kinda sound like the kooks at times? or is it me who is the kook?

 

First time I’ve seen that dufus tweet something I didn’t disagree with. LL Microwave

 

Is the mixed response he’s referring to about DIAWB? Because that’s their best album IMO

 

That definitely wasn’t the popular opinion when it dropped

 

I was honestly pretty impressed by their show the other week. I went mostly for Oso Oso, but I definitely left a Microwave fan.

 

Utterly based

 

DIAWB is absolutely their best album

 

seeing them tomorrow night in San Antonio

 

Holy shit, I just got back from the Dallas show. This band is the fucking best

 

I saw Microwave open for Jimmy Eat World and the Hotelier in June 2018 (the most insane lineup of any show I’ve ever been to) and I feel like Nathan has really leveled up as a live vocalist since then.

 

no question for me, I absolutely heard it as a leveling up. there aren't a lot of bands executing that more aggressive sound with that level of craft

 

Been listening to the three new(ish) songs a lot recently and really getting eager to know if they’re part of a bigger project. I wasn’t huge on any of them on first listen but repeated listening has opened them up so much, easily the most layered songwriting and production they’ve ever had

 

Circling the Drain and Straw Hat are incredible.

Truly hope whatever the next record sounds like is similar to those tracks.

 

Anyone whose been to the tour have a rough idea of set times? Going tonight.

 

Rough times for the Dallas show
7:00 Mothé
7:45 Delta Sleep
8:30 Oso Oso
9:30 Microwave

 

Saw the hometown show in ATL tonight and man these guys are just firing on all cylinders right now.

 

Saw them for free ln in lieu of their Riot Fest set getting canceled and they sounded fucking incredible and are getting better and better every day, Bottom Lounge is 700 cap and was still at capacity with like 6 hours notice

Idk if this was an actual tease or what but Nathan prefaced Straw Hat/Circling the Drain with “here’s two new songs. Well, new-ish. But soon they’ll be new again”

 

If that's the album artwork or album vibe I'm super about it.

 

New song, Are You Bored of Being Sad?, out on 2/22

 

part of it is the art

 

Really hope it’s back to the Stovall / Much Love sound (Much Love specifically). Could never get into DIaWB despite several tries.

 

much less heavy than diawb
