Yeah I didn't realize people were either but I've met a few people who weren't feeling it. You are probably right about the promo track. If they are doing videos for all of the tracks it would probably make sense to end with HBHBHB. I'm fine with Third Eye or something else being next though. I imagine we'll get something next month plus As Far As I Could Get on record store day. I asked and I think my record store is getting it. Now I just have to get a record player haha.

Omg I am beyond excited for TE, it's my favorite of the four songs so far. I think the next promo will either be TE or something else, to fit with the themes and story line of the videos so far!

I am so excited for AFAICG too, it's April 18 right?! I hope someone is able to get a hq rip of the song from the vinyl.

I wonder if dravs produced the entire standard album

Yeah. April 18th. I hope someone can too. I would if I knew how, but this will be my first vinyl purchase. Maybe it will have a digital download code with it like the one on her webstore does. If not we'll at least hear it and then get the HQ on album release day.

I love Third Eye too. I've only watched the performances twice because I don't want to get really used to the live version like I did with Strangeness and Charm or Electric Lady from Janelle Monae's last album.

Right? Strangeness & Charm is a great song, but the studio version is not amazing. Mostly in the mixing, there's something very messed up with it.

I hear Ya, but SJ is exactly as it sounded live as in the studio, and WKOM is also basically the same as the live version she did, aaaaaand we have the studio snippet of HBHBHB's chorus, which is again identical, so I think TE will likewise be the same. Hopefully, anyway--maybe with more harmonies and vocal layers.

One thing sctually, the instrumental outro of HBHBHB live has Tom on harp too but the snippet we have had no harp. There's no harp in any of the new songs I feel like tom's and Isa's involvement is so minimal so far, so I really hope to see more from them. And like you or someone else said, the new direction is great, but a few anthemic, huge chorus dogs would be great.

St Jude is slowly growing on me

i know i haven't heard the album yet, but i'm surprised HBHBHB doesn't open the album. it sounds like a perfect opener with just her voice and soft guitar strumming chords, and then the quick build into the explosive chorus.

i'm sure STW will open the record well though. hope it's a sexy rock song

Please no, it better be an indie anthem

Ok I was thinking like...her spin on something a la Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys? Sexy and alternative, bass heavy.

It matches Mother's description

Mother? the magazine described it as "psychedelic blues," i remember. i guess i could see that. i think mother will be an amazing track, it just sounds it.

i'm dying for Ship To Wreck. its only description is a "future classic."

I can't wait for As Far As I Could Get / As Far As I Can Get

What magazine!?!?

St Jude getting me through today. So serene

Listened to some of Biophilia, also produced by Markus dravs. I can here some similarities

Same here

...I'll ask again. What magazine talked about the songs?

Sorry, missed your question

Nothing more than I said before though unfortunately

I was thinking of Ship To Wreck being more like Never Let Me Go.

Ty.
Ugh, I can't wait! Ship To Wreck is my most anticipated track.

is it about wrecking relationships?
