I'm prepared for disappointment from Caramel Macchiato or whatever it's called.

Sounds like they were working on some stuff before Rostam left, those should be good at least. I'm hoping he was a frequent collab for the rest of it. Excited for the "springtime" vibe Ezra described. MVOTC was great but it will be cool to see them return to the early vw sound while still keeping it different. But yeah I'm ready to be let down. Like I don't think it will be bad but putting out 4 great albums with no lull in quality is a tall order. So i guess i don't mind the wait as long as its a bangin album and they release it before Ezra does Neo Yokio season 2

It was a little more lush and ambitious than what they've done in the past. I think it's worth a listen.

Thanks! NPR had the album up for streaming but took it down once it was released. Listening through a couple more times should help make my decision.

Prob my most anticipated of 2018.

Her aesthetic is very cool, the way she uses light and color. Everything was very well conceptualized and executed.

She performed a good cross section of songs and fit a lot into a two hour show. She doesn't talk much (seems a bit socially awkward), just bounced from one song to the next for the most part. I guess she wrote (and maybe recorded?) Strange Mercy in Seattle, so she had some nice things to say about the city which always gets the crowd going. Really glad I went.

I agree with your thoughts on the production. It kept it fresh.

I did miss the live band she had the past few times I saw her. I think that being the sole focus of attention put more pressure on her. The presence of a band frees her up to do other things as a performer.

Still, when she cuts into a guitar solo, sweet damn is she electrifying.

I also fanboy'd big time, got there super early and wound up in the front row.

I'm hoping Rostam's departure doesn't change the dynamic too much. They're 3/3 for me so far, but that's a big piece of the puzzle to lose. We'll see.

My most anticipated is either Courtney Barnett or My Bloody Valentine, assuming Kevin actually meant it when he said there would be a new MBV record this year. He said it would 100 percent happen, but he's a George R.R. Martin/Axl Rose-tier predictor, so I'd credibly put the odds at, like, 15 percent probability.

That's strong praise. I'll give it a crack.
