To the fans:\u2063 I know that 5-6 years is considered a long time between records. Personally, I think it\u2019s a dignified pace befitting a band that\u2019s already placed three albums in stores but everyone has their own sense of time. (I swear the time between 3 & 4 felt shorter to me than 2 & 3. I may be in the minority on this one.) \u2063 \u2063 This album didn\u2019t really take any longer to write\/record than MVOTC. We just took more time on the front end to chill. I\u2019ll admit I may have stretched out the mixing\/mastering process (aka THE END) a little bit cuz spending half the day with my family & half the day at Ariel\u2019s is my ideal life-rhythm & it\u2019s painful to say goodbye to that rhythm.\u2063 \u2063 Many of you have been hungry for information and we\u2019ve given you very little. I don\u2019t like talking abt a project while in the middle of making it. I usually regret everything I say cuz it turns out to be wrong (so disregard anything I may have said in the past 5 years.) I thought abt making a recording diary to tide over the people leaving intense comments but\u2026to me, the album IS the recording diary\u2026man.\u2063 \u2063 It\u2019s called \u201cFOTB\u201d (well those are the initials – that\u2019s a VW tradition) and it\u2019s 18 songs. Picked the name a few years ago. At some point early on, the album drifted from the Mitsubishi Macchiato aesthetic. It was a helpful guiding principle tho. Working titles are important too.\u2063 \u2063 It\u2019s a lot of songs but they all belong there. (If you disagree, you can always say it was 6 songs too long & make a lil 12-song playlist version of it.) At first, I wanted to make two 23-song albums on some human chromosome shit but then 23&me started doing Spotify playlists and I don\u2019t know\u2026felt we\u2019d been scooped.\u2063 \u2063 Is it a double album? The vinyl will be double so\u2026yes? It\u2019s about 59 minutes long. We can talk more abt that later \u2013 if u care. To me, it\u2019s just FOTB.\u2063 \u2063 Anyway, we\u2019re gonna start releasing music next week. After all that waiting, you should have the general schedule:\u2063 \u2063 -There will be three 2-song drops every month until the record is out. 1. hh\/2021 2. s\/bb 3. tl\/uw. (plans can change that\u2019s the plan)\u2063 \u2063 Thank you for ur patience,\u2063 Ezra<\/a><\/p>
