This kinda sounds like that good old fashioned indie rock. I love it. Good writing. Great sound. Yay for good bands!!!

[@Koshirozation]

that ghost is just a kid in the sheet!!!!

[@mattystorer]

Sergej Lovrekovic love that lyric 👏

[@majeeeddd]

Sergej Lovrekovic Pun intended

[@KlooKloo]

Fake it til you make it.

[@evanphillips2126]

Omg Phoebe's Telecaster is so cool!

[@tomstern9498]

Same first thought bevor I started to love the music - second: should I donate some stars to mine :)

[@Lysdestic]

yeah, but conor's dano... 😍

[@secondhandpoet1128]

I love the drummer.

[@lukelong4054]

that's my boy Griffin Goldsmith from Dawes.

[@velocitygirl8551]

Who is he lol?? It’s not their typical dude!!

[@velocitygirl8551]

Luke Long ty !! I wonder every time I watch this!!

[@johnn.2017]

He plays with a sheer joy on his face!

[@ElmoEl]

These guys are so good. I love oberst and bridgers in their own rights but together they make magic happen, like they have always been destined to sing together, like two halves of a whole. I have also fallen in love with Emily Retsas on bass. If only they’d get a U.K. tour booked I’d be a very happy boy

[@indiemusicvinyl]

Let's make this happen!

[@robertomendez187]

As a published poet(pen name: Simon Havok), I approve of Dylan Thomas!!

[@kiaora12]

"I'm getting used to these diiiizzee sppeeeells." Love this track!

[@johnn.2017]

"I'm takin a shower at the Bates Motel" Who would ever think to rhyme these sentences together?! They are both so amazing with lyrics.

[@ivanl.8201]

@@johnn.2017They absolutely are. The lyrics you mentioned and the "They say you’ve gotta fake it At least until you make it That ghost is just a kid in a sheet" get me every time. Such an amazing song, really. I know Phoebe is busy with boygenius these days, but it'd be wonderful to see her reunite with Connor and the old band.

[@yogavnture1]

her voice is haunting ,,,,,,,,,,,drummer is having fun

[@다일-j8i]

It was quite early one morning Hit me without warning I went to hear the general speak I was standing for the anthem Banners all around him Confetti made it hard to see Put my footsteps on the pavement Starved for entertainment Four seasons of revolving doors So sick of being honest I'll die like Dylan Thomas A seizure on the barroom floor I'm getting greedy with this private hell I'll go it alone, but that's just as well These cats are scared and feral The flag pins on their lapels The truth is anybody's guess These talking heads are saying The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess There's flowers in the rubble The weeds are gonna tumble I'm lucid but I still can't think I'm strapped into a corset Climbed into your corvette I'm thirsty for another drink If it's advertised, we'll try it And buy some peace and quiet And shut up at the silent retreat They say you've gotta fake it At least until you make it That ghost is just a kid in a sheet I'm getting used to these dizzy spells I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel I'm getting greedy with this private hell I'll go it alone, but that's just as well

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

Great sound, well done whoever recorded this. Great songs.

[@stevebob240]

A nice surprise to wake up to!

No, the meme

It's impossible for me to listen to this song more than once.

[@ash81818]

how interesting that they do all down strums on the rhythm guitar for this song. it feels foreign to me to play like that

[@punkker666]

it's called punk

@@aidanfl think he meant that picking style, Johnny Ramone is pretty well known for only ever using downstrokes
