My word... Cavalcade just came out and we already know LP3 is coming in not very long and this track is amazing and might be on it and if it is, LP3 will be as a amazing as Cavalcade. Hard to believe they have this much great material for a couple records to follow eachother so quickly

This might the coolest black midi ive heard yet

[@steadyrhythms9571]

i saw them live in November and got there early enough to hear them soundcheck from outside the venue and they kept bursting into The Riff in this song and let me tell you that is something i will never forget, especially when they played it during the set too. might be their best song when it’s finally released.

[@quinnnosbod3673]

Cam is an amazing bassist

[@steadyrhythms9571]

if you play bass and you look at what Cameron’s doing during Slow WHILE singing, it becomes pretty evident that he’s an irreplaceable talent.

[@mattdrummond3552]

@@steadyrhythms9571 I genuinely mean no offense at all but i don’t think that’s a good example of Cam’s talent because the vocals and basslines are pretty simple to do on Slow imo. And for the record I’ve played bass and guitar for many years if that helps. Just my opinion! I think Cam’s guitar playing and singing on Still and EME are much more impressive than his work on Slow.

[@steadyrhythms9571]

@@mattdrummond3552 yeah that’s fair. i just think some of the chords he plays on it are quite a stretch, or really at least one that comes to mind stretching from the 7th fret to the 11th. and it’s still busier than almost bassist-vocalists pull off from what i have heard. it’s no Geddy Lee on New World Man (probably not the best reference), but still pretty impressive to me. i would agree that EME and Still are even more impressive though, i know Slow is very much playable on bass but i don’t know many people who could pull off flamenco guitar and sing.
