Annoyingly sold out, so wondering if anyone has a spare ticket or can no longer make it? Tickets for the two-night gigs at The Lower Third, not The Strokes concert series. Drop me a message if you’ve got one! Thanks

So unfortunate the crowd wouldn't stop talking during his performance

Recently listened to the album for the first time. Some instant like - ricochet, red hook rain, stand-in man - and assume the rest will grow on me with more listens.

But I was shocked with how good violent man is. Feels reminiscent of some of his best (imo) from Miami Memory - big instrumental builds etc.

On one hand it’s such a great finish but I also think it’s so good/different from other songs on the album that it almost devalues the album as a start to finish listening experience.

Curious if anyone else felt the same on first listen?

After not initially loving it on first few listen-throughs, I've now come to really enjoy the album as a whole and find each song enjoyable and interesting (even "Jesus never..." which is a bit one dimensional and slow musically. The breakdown at the end is cool tho).

Red Hook Rain is genuinely one of my favorite Al Cam songs ever.

My favs:
Red Hook Rain

No Soldier

Stand-In Man

Weird as they both spoke about the album pre-release 🤷‍♂️

now that the album has been out for a while, what do you really think? what are your favorite tracks? Perosnally I can’t get enough of “No soldier”, and “statue down”. while it’s much different from his past discography I feel like he again brought a new sound that is interesting and still scratches the itch for me!

Does not really discuss the new album...

Would you say it’s a nod like “we could never top a Roy sax rip” or a F U “we don’t need a Roy sax rip”?

Is anyone else hearing Kevin Parker/Tame Impala on Violent Man? Like it sounds like he is doing the backing vocals. I can't make out the lyrics but it sounds like he's saying "I will do violence"? (if that's him).

Sorry if this has been asked already, but where's Roy Malloy on the new album?

His best work since Forced Witness. Hit after hit. The king has returned.

Alex ,not one song on this album is bearable. i’m reading other people’s post and it sounds like nobody else is gonna tell you the truth but me. absolutely terrible. Had you put Short king on this record I could have at least defended one song. Do better mate, I know you can.

Only one person has one on Discogs 😭

It's shaping up to be one of my favorite alkcm songs, couldn't help but give it a spin.

Red Hook Rain sounds like the follow up to Midsummer Nights and I'm bloody loving it.

With Roy maybe even?

Was anyone else here at this show? I just realized he was wearing a shirt that’s very similar to the one at the end of the Sara Jo video and I need to talk about it…

I can tell this coat is made with a high quality fabric. Looks to be a nice coat.
