At the moonbase is some of jake's best work and crying laughing waving smiling is amazing but birdie will be hard to top for me.

[@monkeygosbananas]

been really obsessed with sbd for a while and this new album is no exception. jake is a masterclass songwriter and “at the moonbase” absolutely solidifies that. great video nate, you never disappoint :)

[@NateTheMateForever]

Love you Ethan, hope your day is nice. Idk how he does it, but he gets me every time

[@audreye5157]

"it seemed to intrigue and irritate fans" is so accurate. that advent calendar was the best and worst thing they've ever done.

[@NateTheMateForever]

Right! Like I couldn’t be mad bc it’s SBD and I practice unconditional love with them. But man it was annoying for a bit!!!

[@d.masso1]

I love that a lot of SBD fans feel like the albums are a reflection of their lives. The albums feel so personal. When a co-worker heard me playing SBD at work, I felt so vulnerable lol.

[@NateTheMateForever]

Yoo I feel this. Playing SBD around anyone besides myself makes me feel so vulnerable.

[@onedayout8246]

Every SBD album makes me miss Modern Baseball more. Found them when I was a teenager and I felt heard. SBD is like the band grew with me to adulthood tbh. Love both.

God I love slaughter beach, dawg. If I had to pinpoint a band with my favorite writing style I probably couldn’t do it but this would definitely be at least in the top 5. During quarantine these tunes made me feel so solidly less alone, like I was listening to a stranger, sometimes jake, sometimes not, pour out their feelings, create an environment or just tell me about their life. His songs feel so lived in. My favorites are probably their spoken word songs. I used to not like spoken word songs but theirs got me hooked.

[@jonnyboi8182]

the part where he says " the instrument cable is making a weird krshh, its like krshh" may be my FAVORITE line on the album

[@ALEXmightbeREAL]

Honestly during the last year, SBD has become my favourite band. Jake's songwriting is so good!

[@NateTheMateForever]

Immaculate!

[@revevague6256]

Cover art on the recent record is beautiful.

[@NateTheMateForever]

It is! Jake actually drew it himself

[@SenorEscaso]

I like your anecdote at the end because on first listen, Notes From a Brief Engagement was probably my least favorite song on the album because I didn't vibe with the sound, but with subsequent listens and taking the time to listen to the lyrics, it gradually became probably my favorite song on the album. I love the way the opening paints a picture of him trying to settle his nerves before playing live in front of a bar, and then it goes on to paint a picture of the scene inside and outside the bar. The line "With the ambulance drone, and the motorbike growl, and the dopplering radios of convertible cars" almost makes me hear the downtown streets every time I listen to it, and it brings me feelings of nostalgia for when my friends and I would go downtown almost every weekend.

[@maggie8215]

HOW can u not like notes from a brief engagement ?? its so. Vivid in its imagery and the instrumental is so Gorgeous.. the way it builds With the picture he's writing and as we really get into the scene..... the synthy (? i think? idk music lol) intro and the power chords kicking in on guitar FEELS like how i think it'd feel to be Up There like on the stage with the lights and the crowd and the nerves and then when the drums and piano kick in as the scene gets moving.... and the SAXOPHONE.... agh i hold their music so close to my heart. i think im converting my work friends into sbd listeners, i keep playing them when we're cleaning the bar down for the night haha

[@BreakfastKids]

i’m not a slaughter beach dog guy but i like watching how much you like them and everytime i try and get into them

[@andrewcavallo1877]

“Fell In Love” from the new album is one of my absolute favorite songs

[@elishaneedsalife]

Great video nate!! it's been such a long time since i connected with a band the way i did when i first listened to sbd. the lyrics are vague yet detailed in a way that you start to see everything really vividly and personally in your head. their music is the definition of warmth for me

[@NateTheMateForever]

For sure! They leave just enough to be desired to where you create the image in your head based on the details and vagueness haha.

[@thenateyoulove]

Love slaughter beach dog, probably my favourite band but I still haven't really clicked with the new album. Not really a problem though seeing as we probably won't be waiting very long till the next one.

[@NateTheMateForever]

Hey fellow Nate. Give it some time, come back in a month, and see how you feel. But I think you’re right, a new one won’t be long

[@thenateyoulove]

@@NateTheMateForeverHey there, there's a few tracks I really like that he played on that acoustic set you showcased in the video but he changed some of the lyrics and I prefer the stripped down acoustic versions. I'll give it some time just not a fan of that smooth alto sound of the sax.

[@emilykendall5192]

when the intro of Phoenix started playing in this video i got so choked up what a song

[@phanthomhunter7437]

SBD is definitely my favourite band of all time. digesting the lyrics has always been fun for me and jakes inspired me to write much better lyrics. all theyre records are amazing pieces of art and i cant wait to hear more from them

[@NateTheMateForever]

That’s awesome. Jake really inspires me with my writing too. I don’t write music, but about music, and he motivates me to improve always

[@phanthomhunter7437]

@@NateTheMateForever yeah Jake is just an inspiration to all I think. Anyways I loved the video and your content in general, so keep up the amazing work man!

[@ESPNMills]

Slaughter Beach is actually a town on the Delaware coast. Not sure if there’s any connection. But if Jake ever drove from Philly down to the Delaware beaches or Ocean City, MD, he definitely would’ve noticed the sign that read “Slaughter Beach”. You can’t help but smock at the name.

[@drewpina1060]

Discovered this band from your last video and now they are my favorite band😂👍

[@NateTheMateForever]

heck yeah haha

[@gustavonome5483]

man, these videos are a warm hug honestly.

[@alexanderknapp9207]

I honestly fell in love with the monologues in the new album. It shows emphasis that Jake is always trying to look for new ideas to bring into his writing, and really take the listener to a whole nother headspace. In Notes from a Brief Engagement the part where he talked about him pulling out a new instrument cable gave me chills when I first listen to it December 24. Also, a modern lay is an absolute banger! Definitely feel like I’m gonna need to listen to the whole album some more this year too. I’m glad someone else appreciates Jake’s monologue, great vid Nate!

[@NateTheMateForever]

Yes, notes from a brief engagement is insane! Idk how Jake does it haha

[@charlottesimss9853]

Motorcycle was my gateway into SBD several years ago and Birdie got me hooked. Safe and Also No Fear wasn't my vibe and I still can't click with but holy shit!! Moonbase!!!!!!!! His songwriting has reached a whole fucking new level and I always have to put on repeat

[@jimmythai5039]

the intro to this was so perfect and the amazing poetry that it was actually made my heart feel warm, bravo

[@cornbeanz9045]

the thing that grabs me most abt the advent calendar/the album at the moonbase itself is that moreso than the other albums its like a looking glass into what jakes pandemic experience and life in general was. he moved from philly to a mountain town up north with an adorable little house that the home videos were recorded at and you can hear and understand the elements of moving and change in his new work. and now hes been the most active on social media that we've ever seen out of him, constantly giving us little clips of his life and art and inspiration via instagram stories. this is by far one of my favorite sbd era's just because this is the most revealing jake has ever been with his real life since holy ghost/the documentary. it just feels so honest and its nice to just live ur life knowing people as artistic and amazing as jake exist.

[@goldenjam_0189]

You're honestly my favorite KZbin channel. The quality of every video is amazing! I'm not sure if you have made a video about him yet but Daniel Johnston was a really interesting guy

God I miss mobo, but god am I thankful for sbd. Jake may be a few years older than me, but I feel like his musical output over the last few years has grown and matured alongside my own development, which I appreciate massively. Long live sbd

[@NateTheMateForever]

I experience this too! That’s so sick

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

Here it is! I think Birdie might be my favorite album, but I also feel like I've listened to it the most since most of the "Top Songs" on Apple Music are from it. Going to give the rest of the discography a play thru later on. Keep up the great work Nate, I know how much work you put into your videos!

[@FeePee1234]

Love your videos man. Everytime I watch (even for bands I don't particularly like) I come away with a new found respect and understanding, and I think that's thanks to your honest interpretations and critiques. Wasn't a massive SBD fan but this gave me a push to go listen again :)

Slaughter Beach isn't a fictional town though. It's a town in Delaware close to Philadelphia where Jake grew up. Slaughter Beach, Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach are popular day trips for people who live in Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC and other surrounding areas.

As someone who has grown up on Van Morrison i can relate so so much to SBD’s ‘Van Morrison’ it perfectly describes what his music means to me, how comforting van’s sound is for someone who has listened to him via their parents since they were little. Its a simple song but shit its good!

Was so lucky I got to see SBD live in the UK a few months before the lockdowns started, it was an awesome night!

Hey man, hope things are going well. I was wondering if you’d be interested in a “For Fans Of” type of series where you pick a band for one video (I.e SBD, Mobo, Title Fight) and pick 3-5 bands or artists that you feel fans of those bands should check out and why.

Your channel has been getting better and better. Great video man. Also as a huge fan of the many incredible parts of SBD’s music, I’ve recently fell in love with Mark Kozelek’s music of Sun Kil Moon and many others. If you haven’t already Benji by Sun Kil Moon is a great one to get started with their music, but my absolute favorite for all the ‘weird’ monologues, and spoken word like in SBD as well as the humor, meta fourth wall breaks, long winded and gradual progressing song writing that’s very intimate and emotional is definitely Mark Kozolek by his completely solo work Mark Kozolek. Please check it out and if you feel like it, lmk what you thought of it. It’s very long songs/albums so give it some patience because I know it’s not easy to entertain yourself with that immediately.

I appreciate their artistic ability and them going for what they want, that being said, I think they do spoken word too much, every now and then is a nice touch, but the same sound heard throughout “at the moonbase” and “104 Degrees” is a little expressionless and done too much, especially when paired with music that tends to be uneventful (which isn’t always a bad thing) but it is almost like this is a concept band and not really just a band, almost like they are sticking to an element or a story when that seems a little unproductive.
