this song includes my favorite recorded moment in BW so far (the stick click at 0:25)
“First Son” is out today! This is the second single from our upcoming EP, and we went a little crazy with string arrangements on it. Hope it gives you some good energy!

One last word about Last Seen! Lyrics are up—this song is built around vignettes of how you picture someone when you hear their name. For instance, our drummer Clint was last seen ordering an appetizer and 3 desserts as his meal (he is a genius). How were you last seen?

No I’m serious bro the enemy’s Toyota Hi-Lux has very advanced radar capabilities, if we don’t send stealth bombers we will face major losses
This new Times piece on the last month of American bombing of Yemen has some insane details.

Sooper Records exists to produce Music 2 with a roster of 3,000 IQ musicians for whom Music 1 was not ambitious, creative, or interesting enough. Look upon their works and tremble
As the only full-time employee at an indie record label, a sampler covering the last 7 years is also my life's work. Please review my album.

the $99 sm57 is a universal constant like pi or avogadro’s number…they are messing with forces they do not understand
so, for many years, the sm57 microphone has been precisely $100.
it’s a common fact of life for performing artists and sound engineers — that mic is ALWAYS $100.
for the first time in what anyone in my network can remember, due to the tariffs, the sm57 is now $110.

It’s the ‘Leaves Of Grass’ of emo/indie rock. All these beautiful, wistful snapshots; landscape painting and Super 8 home movies and modernist poetry.

loved this reflection…captures so much about the way music comes into our lives at the broken-open moments in a way that nothing else does. it means everything you need it to mean.
happy 20th birthday to the sunset tree, to a masterful, beautiful album. there are not enough words to say what this record means to me. it's my favorite mountain goats album and it lives in my heart ihavethatonvinyl.com/liner-notes/...

don’t overthink the social side of the scene. it doesn’t matter if you’re awkward or i’m awkward. if I’m at a show and you’re at the show and we have some little passing conv that basically amounts to hell yeah, we have already achieved something immensely important against the gathering darkness
