I see this all time and I strongly disagree. Dave has great taste in music

Talking Heads
Yes
Jethro Tull
Peter Gabriel
Outkast
King Crimson
Daniel Lanois
Paul Simon
Neil Young
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
Sly and the family Stone

And that list is just of the top of my head of what I personally have heard him public state that he listens to. That is a great and eclectic list in my opinion. Now as far as his taste in his own songs, that’s a different story, but he is the creator so he obviously has a different relationship with each song than an outsider/listener could ever have.

Seems like it. Rashawn also posted on Instagram on a plane with something alone the lines of “back to work” so maybe more hints to come

Bruce and Corey, I know you guys have to respect your sources with what you can or cannot share. So thank you for what you’ve shared so far!

Is there anything else you guys can share regarding timeframe or other details? Biting my fingernails over here.

I've heard from multiple sources that they are allocating a pretty substantial amount of time before the first show to rehearse. Way more than usual. That's about it.

Do you think that has to do with getting new songs ready, or just due to having an involuntary year off?

Bruce and I have both been trying to figure out album info but it's hard to come by now. I do think leaks will start ramping up as the band begins to rehearse (I expect band and some crew to make their rounds in town).

My prediction is announce the album with a single + all info/album bundles by 7/23 with the start of the tour, full release in September.

Completely disagree with this.. you’re basing it on set lists you look at from 1000 miles away..

I don’t know if zoom rehearsals count.. also remember when they “practiced” a ton for the 2016 tour and Jeff coffin said on social media he was excited to play a lot if the older material.. so we got song that Jane likes to kick off that show and then ??

So from Carson's notes I'm drawing a conclusion: Dave's songwriting went downhill once he began writing with Ballard. Something that Ballard taught him just broke the artist Dave Matthews who, by rights, should have put out the LWS in their original, artistically challenging form and allowed it to be a necessary dark spot in the catalog. Instead, he was encouraged or pushed to be more commercial friendly. And though he's bounced back somewhat, some kind of permanent damage was done. I don't know if Dave trusts in his own vision anymore. I think he's going back to producers for validation of his songwriting ideas.

Hey everyone, longtime member and infrequent poster. I have a legitimate album update from someone who would rather not be tied specifically to the information. Nevertheless, I can absolutely vouch for him and pass through the update that Alagia mixed the album this past weekend in Los Angeles. He left for Charlottesville yesterday to seek final approval of the mixes. If the mixes get approved, we could have concrete news and a single in the very near future. Hope this keeps everyone feeling positive about the new album as the tour begins soon!
