Was a tad let down with āModern Vampires of the Cityā, maybe because my expectations were so high following āVWā and āContraā. Some banging tracks, just missed that ooooommpphh from two previous imo.
Still really looking forward to new material.
I reckon this one will have more of a chilled out vibe and will feel less overworked than some of the tracks on MVOTC
Yeah Ezra just had a baby so hopefully some nice writing material comes out of that.
MVOTC is wonderful, Contra is very good and the debut is, in retrospect, OK. Ever since 2013 Iāve been excited to see this pattern continue.
Nice nod to Hannah Hunt in Ezraās post. āYou and me, we got our own sense of time.ā

Also I reckon there will be at least one guest feature. My money is on iLoveMakonnen, seeing as theyāre music pals
I thought the debut and Contra were both great, but Modern Vampires is probably my favourite album of the decade so far. Almost six years ago now!

āContraā is a masterpiece. I still like MVOTC just not as much as other two. As @nopicnic mentioned their musical direction is just fine. Just donāt lay an egg here, which is highly unlikely.
Yeah. First two are good but MVotC was a major step up in my eyes. Increased maturity and emotional depth.

Canāt wait for this anyway. Would actually love a VW record that was less perfectionist and a looser sprawling record full of ideas and guests. Given itās a double album and rostam hasnāt been around as much itās possible thatās what we could get.
Bit sad itās not actually going to be called Mitsubishi Macchiato

I didnāt think he was going to be involved at all?
I think the suggestion was when he left 3 years ago that he would be involved in the album. It might have changed since then.

Not certain but i think the idea was heād no longer be an official member of the band, with touring duties etc, but heād still be kicking about and producing some tracks? Iād be surprised if he wasnāt on this album somewhere.

I loved the first album and MVOTC, but weirdly Contra is a total blank to meā¦ should listen to it again and see what I was missing.

Double albums are mostly a bad idea
Itās less than an hour long, so Iām trusting them.
