New single was pretty middle of the road to my ears. Liked the first couple more.
I really enjoyed it live, was at the show when Matt changed its title from Moon Drop Light to Eucalyptus.New single was pretty middle of the road to my ears. Liked the first couple more.
SWB really just kept growing on me over the last few years. I think it’s a great record. This new one does seem to hit a similar mood in a way, but with more warmth in the sound so far. I’m just super curious to see how it all flows. I did stream the two tracks Eucalyptus and New Order T-Shirt back to back and they really do work well together. But it also just made me enjoy New Order T-Shirt more.I think this one will be similar to SWB but a bit subtler. I could see it being like a massage that feels a bit light to the touch but, 15 minutes in, you realize the masseuse just quietly unlocked that knot you’ve been trying to get fixed for years. The transition from Euc to New Order is so satisfying and the driving outro of the former turns that clean guitar intro of the latter into a nice, low-key change of pace. If this is sequenced well and the songs enhance each other like these two do, I can see a new more mature sibling for the A tier National records.
I agree this is my least favourite single thus far (it's not bad but it's not great) but like you mentioned it may grow on me...I'm surprised this is the one people have been most excited about tbh. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I am not too crazy about the chorus. However, musically the build up and climax are really nice. I like some of the verses lyrically, but it didn't totally blow me away as a whole yet. That said, some of their best songs take a bit of time to really blossom. I have just heard this one once, watching the video.
Tropic Morning News is my favourite of the 3!I still think New Order T-Shirt is my favorite from the bunch. On a third listen this moring to Eucalyptus I like it more than I did the first two times yesterday. Tropic Morning News is okay, but it's growing on me.
It's definitely not bad. I didn't like it at all when it was first announced, but I think because I really, really didn't like Weird Goodbyes and it was the first song they released after that so I was probably thinking this new album was going to be all that same. I'll probably end up loving all 3 within the context of the album.Tropic Morning News is my favourite of the 3!
I wish I had your patienceI'm not listening to any singles. Going to enjoy the album for the first time on the needle drop
agreed, it's my favorite of the first three by a large margin.Maybe I am in the minority but I like Eucalyptus the best out of all three singles. I especially love the video.
That is next years Cherry Tree vinyl. I am only joking but maybe eventually.Interesting...since they filmed the whole show I wonder if we are close-ish to a full show uploaded soon
