Preoccupations - Degraded (Official Audio)

[@Embers0]

I cannot get over how good this is

[@hoofhearted1212]

Their drummer is dope

[@angeltellez3303]

We're throwing caution to the wind We are consistent in our flaws Predictably, we have no goals Incapable of abstract thoughts Wondering how long it might take to be through I can't improve, I can't improve, I can't improve Some good ideas split in two So solemn and melancholy Another thing that you can do Unwillingly for some money We're absolutely obsolete Intolerant and overheating Leaving our footprints in the concrete There's nothing left here to compete for Degrade into a fraction of yourself Degrade into a fraction of yourself Degrade into a fraction of yourself Wondering how long it might take to be through I can't improve, I can't improve, I can't improve

[@ewanmcgrath2870]

women, viet cong and preoccupations- the love triangle crafted by our lord himself

[@gvlrvjevhebrvh6540]

Viet cong and preoccupations are the same band. I think they sound pretty different from women as well.

[@DuppyBruh]

Who's is Cindy Lee? Is it a solo project or a group effort? I stumbled across Malenkost and have been obsessed, but confused ever since. I can't find a physical copy anywhere (I've read that there was a limited release of some cassettes). Does anyone have any information on that act/project?

[@Kill1productions]

Cindy Lee is a project by Patrick Flegel, the brother of Matt Flegel, who is the bassist and vocalist for Preoccupations. Matt formed viet cong after women split up, and Patrick formed Cindy Lee.

[@MissHotcakess]

and on top of that, playing with Chad VanGaalen

[@nwoka]

It’s almost obscene how good this band is. I’ve loved their shit since VietCong and Women, and year after year, I come back to this monument of an album

[@SpookySims]

Love the opening. So good, makes me feel like I’m in total isolation. Like in Iceland all alone. Such a good song

[@nickybalboa7646]

LOVE this band,no doubt this band will become VERY BIG!!!! They deserve it!!!!

[@weswally1]

Sounded just as sick live in London a couple weeks ago!

[@indiestang66]

2:38-3:07 Best part!!!!

[@warmachine021]

Great song and the beginning reminds me a little of "Paranoia Agent."

[@theorey8914]

Has anyone else gotten a Twin Peaks kind of vibe from the tracks Preoccupations have released so far?

[@log.dog_1312]

with just these two, yes, very 80s synthy and Twin Peaks is like the visual epitome of that aesthetic

[@elliottgetz8782]

so new new wave love it

[@williamscerbo458]

Fucking awesome

[@mistermcleod]

YES!

[@HaonProductions]

Krautrock meets new wave. It's not Viet Cong, but I'll take it!

[@andys1944]

[@lukesportsgamingk149]

Answer me plz i need your answer I'd still have something to say to you about the copyright issue

[@robertmitzenheim]

hell yeah!

[@Lostprussia]

Good stuff

[@AirBallers31]

all aboard the hype train

[@patrickdaley903]

I'm new to this genre, what are other songs that sound like this?? that bass line is soo fucking groovy

[@tomservo9254]

Interpol, Protomartyr, Thee Oh Sees, Besnard Lakes, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Low, Wolf Parade... post-punk is a really broad genre, it's not all necessarily approached as frigid as this.

[@CallumMcCartney]

+jeremycohen96 It's the same band just they had some complaints and had to change

[@arthur4633]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Women??

[@CallumMcCartney]

+Arthur Jayness Well that predates Viet Cong too but yes the lead came from Women to make Viet Cong/Preoccupations. Women were bloody good.

[@ijskolibrietje]

this heat, women, new order (if you like the bass)

[@CallumMcCartney]

RIP Viet Cong

[@tomservo9254]

Murdered by Grimes and she's still allowed to freely walk the streets. Sad.

[@gonzalomolinaf]

well. go listen to viet cong... for me this new journey of them it's great.

[@CallumMcCartney]

+Gonzalo Molina Who's this in response to? if it's to me I just said RIP Viet Cong because of the controversy towards their name although they make the same music

[@gonzalomolinaf]

because of the name? the name doesn't care. music cares. love them with any name! there's more bands names that are more violent than this...

[@CallumMcCartney]

+Gonzalo Molina I think you took this the wrong way mate. I'm not arsed what name they have obviously. I still love their music. Just RIP the Viet Cong branding.

[@coolyea1245]

Upvote this to the top so people know not to read the comments

[@fabiandesales3961]

this reminds me of rock en espanol

[@hsnzmx]

Can you guys gimme any best song from Women?

[@Matthew-mu1wg]

China Steps

[@gvlrvjevhebrvh6540]

Eyesore and shaking hands. In my opinion their two catchiest songs and two of my favorites.

[@hsnzmx]

+Gvlrvjev hebrvh thanks both of you! 😁

[@tomasklezl1938]

The whole Public Strain is a masterpiece, there is no bad song on the album. The first album is pretty dope too, my favourites are Lawncare, Black Rice and Shaking hand

[@Bruchlynd.Argyle]

Narrow with the hall and Black Rice are me faves

[@robertjazz3613]

I will forever call this band Viet Cong.

[@lukesportsgamingk149]

yo dude why did you flie a copyright about a song but i dont't understand because the song is from fifa 16 its on the game as a soundtrack i cant remove the song sorry but not need take back the copyright back

[@lust_for_life_17]

Fuck that intro scared me 😂

[@Marco.91]

lol love the profile pic

[@simonkern6566]

lead singer reminds me of the growlers

[@wallonie4498]

Manifiko italyanoo

[@Pepper-cd9yr]

sounds like the guy from the growlers

[@ghoulish6125]

There is a fence and I'm on it

[@erichllenz]

Are you serious?

[@ghoulish6125]

erichllenz Yeah? I guess I'm sorry for not having the same opinion as you. I said i'm neutral as of right now, weird to think that opinions of no extremity trigger people. I loved Women and Viet Cong, I'm just being cautious as they let me wade in different waters bro, calm yourself.

[@erichllenz]

"Calm yourself," says the dude who just wrote a mini paragraph defending his ambiguous feelings towards the track. Alright, I guess.

[@ghoulish6125]

erichllenz lol k

[@MrRafaMcFly88]

Viet Cong for silhouettes

[@Blargss]

screw that intro. scared the heck out of me
