Damn you all, the joys of living in Cornwall, anything decent that ever happens is at least a 500 mile round journey.

They are and it's a great venue, only 4 or 5 gigs a year though and recent years haven't been my cup of tea. Last one I went to was 2013, Sigur Ros.

That's a shame. I remember seeing pictures of the flaming lips playing there years ago and it looked brilliant, they had the go team supporting too, I always thought it would have been a great night out in such a cool place

Oh my, that's a great song. Can't wait for the Castlefield Bowl next month!

Can pre order the album now as well, out July 28th.

They play Primavera at the weekend and I believe that'll be screened live online.

Another new song recorded at Primavera yesterday.

Everything Now has been all over 6Music today, hearing it now for the 5th time I think. Listened to it a few times last night with headphones on, the bass line doesn't really come over on the radio, but it's great with decent headphones. The radio edit doesn't have the dark bit at the start, I think they're missing out there.

Such a happy sounding summer song, despite the somewhat dark lyrics.

They deliver every time.

Zaffarious · « **Reply #615 on:** June 6, 2017, 03:02:23 pm »

Everything now is so good live. Saw them at primavera and it was superb.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #616 on:** June 6, 2017, 07:16:24 pm »

Hope they build one or two more new songs into the tour, though it's hard to pick which old ones to replace!

Haven't played Tunnels in either tour performance yet, one of my favourite songs so would be gutted if that was left out in Manchester!

These gigs on Youtube are they?

See they are playing Scunthorpe tonight, I'm gutted I'm not seeing them on this visit.

New track - Creature Comfort

https://youtu.be/xzwicesJQ7E

damomad · « **Reply #621 on:** June 16, 2017, 12:41:33 pm »

Love that, powerful lyrics and an infectious backing track. Regina and Win have always complemented each other so well on vocals.

Just looking at the producers for this. One half of Daft Punk and Steve Mackey of Pulp. It's not like they need the help but that's strong backup.

bobby19 · « **Reply #622 on:** June 16, 2017, 01:07:34 pm »

The two new tracks have been excellent.

Seen them on Tuesday night def one of the best live bands I've witnessed.

Agreed. Saw them at Glastonbury and they blew me away.

LanceLink!!!!! · « **Reply #624 on:** June 16, 2017, 05:40:03 pm »

That Creature Comfort track is fucking insane.

July 28th can't come soon enough.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #625 on:** June 16, 2017, 06:41:06 pm »

Yeah I prefer it to the opening single. Both good though.

Seebab · « **Reply #626 on:** June 16, 2017, 08:39:07 pm »

I prefer Everything Now still but they are both great. Looking to be a solid album if the rest is to be more or less the same. Can't wait!

Wasn't sure about it when I head it live but I really like the album version.

Rumour another track out next Friday - "We don't deserve love".

Less than a week to the Manchester gig now

I have been playing this track repeatedly. So good. It's one of those songs that could have been longer ala Reflektor and it would be even better.

Where are they playing tonight? Sounded like the York Hall gig was great from what I've read.

Sir Afghan · « **Reply #637 on:** July 6, 2017, 01:48:49 pm »

Castlefield Bowl in Manchester. Saw them in Blackpool when they last toured and they were fucking brilliant.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #638 on:** July 6, 2017, 01:52:27 pm »

Won't be getting there til 8, will have to fight our way to the front
