“In dreams I scream piano” is beyond brilliant

[@nathanschneider1805]

I could listen to Ezra talk about music all day. He’s an encyclopedia. The dream would be to hear him and Thundercat go back and forth!

[@PrayerhandP]

I'll be seeing them in ATL. I'm obsessed with connect. Cannot stop. Addicted completely

Love Connect, Capricorn and Hope, those 3 get the most play!

[@enriqueflorendo]

Love all of them. Pravda and hope puts my 5 year old to sleep so it’s been playing every night.

Capricorn is too relatable He's right. I got three days when i was born and that was between Xmas, New Year and a sibling whose birthday was right after. No time for us. So I turned to theology and the past for answers. None yet but I'm grateful for the shot 🤘🌞

Man I’m not gonna lie seeing Ezra’s hairy chest/necklace while high has been a mind blowing combination

[@MrBeatlefan123]

Same, he's sooo dreamy 😍

[@melissahernandez4329]

It makes me all woozy

[@euphegenia]

This album is fantastic. I’ve listened to it at least a dozen times so far. Gets better each time. Notice something new each time. Probably either #1 or #2 VW album for me.

[@mattw8350]

Yeah it’s competing with MVOTC as best VW album to me. Very much on par with Contra which has always been second, sometimes first for me

[@ChuckWasHere]

I can't stop listening to it. First foray into their material and I'm absolutely hooked.

[@warwickgaming6764]

As someone born on the 27th of December in 97 I love his thought process behind Capricorn. Completely relatable to me.

[@thejoepassmore]

December 27th, 1978 here. 🖖🏻

[@DeeTeaDee]

39:01 WOW!!! I LOVE this song!! I didn’t know Ezra worked on it!! I thought it had a sprinkle of CLASS to that song!!

[@ZoneTC]

Ezra is so Amazing by making new albums songs

[@eatmoremusic3650]

Prep school gangsters is my track I can’t stop listening to. Fantastic album front to back

[@melissahernandez4329]

I feel like crying when that comes on, def my #1 from the album

[@tylen29]

Funny/cute how when citing slick productions in the past, Ezra chose to shoutout his Father in Laws magnum opus (Thriller)

[@Dvaidc]

Just saw them in Houston - incredible. First time they've played some of those songs live.

[@OriginalSpacewhale]

Thanks for asking great questions, can't wait for the live show this year!

[@chuymedina2524]

I’m obsessed with ice cream piano, i feel it’s so underrated. But the whole album in general 🤌🏻

[@lienepekuse8217]

I was born on 30th of December in 1997, never I would have thought that that would be the thing that's gonna make me feel seen by Ezra

[@jasenjahn]

Cya in Missoula. Love the new album-it’s VW with beautiful melodies with a raw, mature feel. It’s my favorite. Bold words but vetted.

W interview

[@PhilomenaCunt]

I do not feel like the interviewer is too interested in the album, tbh. Polar opposite of Zane Lowe. I agree with the criticism that Zane Lowe interrupts way too much, but at least I feel that he is connected with the music. His interviews often have a fan discussion-like quality, which is great.

[@CL2-]

@@PhilomenaCunt I guess you could be right, I feel like this interviewer doesn't really try to expand on the topics ezra talks about and just tries to get to the next question without going more in-depth

[@mariaostgren7237]

this was lovely. especially got to me the image he painted on mary boone, and the line “when I come home it’s not to you” having the war as added context ❤️‍🩹

[@curtisbrause9255]

Now we’ve just got to get Ezra and Ariel to do a Tape Notes for this album and my life will be complete.

[@ilcavaliereoscusa6758]

I love this interview, so detailed for being not necessarily oriented to musicians. So full of insights

[@alfredoma5015]

Similarly how Ezra feels like he missed “getting in on the ground floor” of NYC in the 80s I would give anything to be in NYC in the early 2000s when VW and Strokes and other burgeoning bands were coming up. What a time it must have been!

[@maxgoertzen4217]

will see y’all at red rocks 😤

[@emilyvenegas1100]

First comment!! I love the new album so much and can’t wait to see them on tour this summer 🫶

[@dmvdv4747]

That’s very symbolic, might just have to add tripping in Central Park to the bucket list

[@lacroixdreams3520]

Love these breakdowns for their albums

[@jbrown7403]

Great interview and very inciteful! I feel that this album is their absolute best! No "throwaway" songs at all! Every song is wonderful!

[@barnasalspray4898]

Hello fellow Capricorns, January 2nd here. So the next one was never mine. :p I really love this.

Not related at all but this 5:10 This is why my favorite musical movement has been Swancore and associated acts. So much to appreciate.
