Can’t lie, really loved their debut album, but saw them live at the Royale last weekend and wow, they knew how to put on a show! They are PERFORMERS! Love a musical act that knows how to put on a performance, theatrics, etc. They’re on tour rn! Go see em!

caught them during the deceiver tour back in 2019. I remember thinking they were good, but nothing crazy. Their current tour has shown so much improvement it’s insane. i always love seeing the same band perform a number of times over the years because you get to watch them evolve in real time. i don’t know how to describe the difference other than imagine if there was a “sick’” knob on the audio equipment that they had turned up medium back in the day & now had fully cranked up. Played incredibly tight & integrated a really involved visual element (a lot of experimental video stuff).
TBH the video was cool but kind of detracted from the experience of watching them perform. I felt like the story they were trying to tell was drenched in this above it all every-direction critique of American empire via this post-ironic rendition of conspiracy-culture. don’t get me wrong, it was cool and funny at points. But sometimes you can have something that’s funny and cool & still have it subtract from the overall intended effect. Like I get it you’re very smart and very funny and you’re really showing off right now, but you’re distracting me! You’re overloading me! Being even more honest, I should probably take my own advice on this issue LOL. I wouldn’t even necessarily recommend that they change anything about the show. I guess it’s better to be doing a lot and err on the side of maximalism while saying something unique and cool than to play it safe! Sorry if this is rambling, I’m just trying to collect my thoughts.
But yeah they played great nontheless. Had a great time, they’re a really good band. wholeheartedly recommend. Favorite songs were: Like before you were born, horsehead, Blankenship (guess which diiv album is my favorite), brown paper bag (riff ripped straight from MBV and I loved it), raining on your pillow, doused(!)
I didn’t take any pictures because I was living in the moment :^)

The last song @ played last time I saw them was a cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “No Lonesome Tune.” it was a sweet way to close out their set, and the drawn out vocals on “liiiiine” is stellar every listen. The harmonies are angelic and everyone should listen to this band.
This was recorded from the balcony of a house venue in west philly in December of 2023. @ performed as a 3-piece

It’s kind of a buy one get one free situation because you get the first romance as well as the second one of them falling back in love with each other. You were so passionate you ended it with someone and yet you found your way back and decided that the love was worth working through your pain?? Are you kidding me?? notable example: you deserve each other by Sarah Hogle.
fav niche trope tho is the epistolary romance… fall in love w me via prolonged email exchange please
