User blog:Davidmsom/IMPORTANT UPDATE: The album is coming!

Friends!

We have been blessed with the knowledge of the existence of the band's very first full-length album, Thanks for Coming! I've started the page already, so if you'd like more information on the tracks and the duration or whatever, all the information I currently have is there. The album is set to be released 12 February 2021.

I actually have a funny and kind of stupid story about how I found out about the album. I was minding my own business at work yesterday (so, 10 November), and I thought I'd use my VPN to place my IP address in a time zone where the new single "Eat an Eraser" (for which I will soon make a blog update, too) was already out so I could get a sneak peek. I'm very impatient when it comes to this band, as you know. I end up heading to a streaming site called Deezer, since it offers a sample of the song and works with my VPN, whereas Spotify gives me an error message because it knows my account is based out of the United States.

Anyway, when I get there, I realize there's all the details for the whole ass album there, including release dates for the album, the singles, etc. First, I freak out for the most obvious reason that, holy shit, now I can sleep soundly at night knowing exactly when everything will be released, what will be released, and what to expect, of course. Then, I freak out a different way because not only has the band not announced anything or given any impression this information is out there, but this was the only place this information was available. I thought I had stumbled upon forbidden knowledge, that maybe I wasn't supposed to see all this this early.

Turns out, they were going to announce all of it anyway along with the release of "Eat an Eraser", and my fears were assuaged. It just so happened that Deezer had it all out there a good day or so beforehand, but it turned out to be no big deal, and there I was scared about it. So, there you go. I told you it was stupid.

I am sad, though, that "Glass Wing" won't be on the full album. I was holding out hope it would be, so knowing the information about the album does crush that. Whatever. I'm just happy about the album.

All the love.
