Pre-Order Thread

Ditto. I could use some Trop-Rock in my life with everything going on in the world.
Love the backstory, trop-rock theme, and all around design of the physical product but am struggling to get past the Mr. Sloppy Joe's vocals. Can someone please spin me a reason as why I'm just not "getting it" on a first listen? I need this (I think).

To me, I am picking up the Garcia/Wilson vibe is in the vocals. It is a bit jarring initially but the more I listened the more it grew on me.

Travis used to be an instant pre order for me. But it's hard to want to spend that much on this. I couldn't get into their last couple.
 
Brigid Dawson - Ballet of Apes is up on Castleface.

"the first 222 or so to order it will get it close to right away...past that point it'll be a pre-order as the rest of the copies are on a boat, so those will ship out in early July. Unfortunately that's our new normal for the time being...and with that in mind I'm keeping people to two per customer for this, the Cotton Candy Edition vinyl."

I know this album has nothing to do with Police but the name and artwork feels a little uncomfortable right now. Reminds me of the New Pornographers naming an album Whiteout Conditions.

Nah, only if you want to try to force that interpretation; same for The New Pornographers for that matter (and that one is very much a reach on your part). A 'blue heart' has traditionally meant sadness. It's not fair to the artist to have you determine that anything labeled blue=police, or try to link the two.

If you'd read the copy (emphasis mine) -

"In the winter of 2019, Bob Mould bucked the era’s despair with his most melodic, upbeat album in ages, Sunshine Rock.

Cut to spring of 2020, and he has this to say: “We’re really in deep shit now.""

you're right, and after watching the video for the new song, I take it back. Anything black and blue and I immediately connect to police. Those five stripes on the bottom of the artwork could easily be a part of the flag. But I take it back.

Crazy enough that he wrote that months ago, but now is still a sadly perfect time for that song to come out.

Also, with the album release set for September, I think he's very conscious of that being the first single, and releasing it during Pride.
 
Since the album has been released early today, here’s a link to the indies exclusive - available from your favorite local store as well, of course.
