Oh goody, potentially more in-your-face political bullshit by Jenkins. No thanks.

Rock band to release trap music called Summer Gods in the fall on an LP because they couldn't finish the EP in time. Makes sense.






My haterade tastes sweet like a smoggy SoCal sunset, if you're wondering.

[Afonso]

At this point I'm actually glad they didn't finish the EP. They get more time to realise how terrible would have been to make that kind of music. If Stephan wants to record these political nonsense songs, then he should release them separately, like he did with If There Ever Was a Time. Don't put that crap on official LPs and EPs.

The article below from Billboard has a bit more information on the new album and the process.

This is all I could take from that article:

"There's already some new music written," Salazar says. "We have some stuff sort of sitting around. I'd definitely give it a shot. Kevin's super-prolific. I don't know what form it'll take or what we'd call it, if it should have a better name. But I'd like to make music with Kevin and Tony if we wanted to, so we'll see what happens."

Sounds very similar to someone we like to bash. Hummmmm... someone named Jenkins.

My guess is we won't hear new music from XEB anytime soon.

At least this time, supposing a fall release, the president he's deriding will still be in office.

Spoiler:

Maybe.

Julietta, one of the songs that leaked recently, was played at soundcheck the other day. It was refered to as a new song, so it might end up on the EP!

Out of those songs I wouldn't mind getting a studio version of hold me down 👌🏻

Also, wonder what ever happened to not afraid of you? I know it copped some hate around here but it is definitely better than some of the stuff from dopamine and we are drugs.

[marchisio8]

Agree, Blair. Really like "Hold me down". Without doubt the best song of the ones that were leaked. Hoping we one day get a studio version of it!

Sounds like this leak of old songs is more than just random then. Very much like SUFU, some tasty revenge from someone somewhere

Not Afraid of You was a fucking quality song. Really liked that a lot.

[Afonso]

Hold Me Down and Bike Messenger need a new studio version, especially the former. That acoustic riff in the beggining of Hold Me Down is great. It sounds like a true 3EB song, circa Blue era.

wuuut?
Like Mac says, that makes this batch of songs showing up now so fucking weird.

Apparently there's a cover album in the works. Not sure if it means Summer Gods was scrapped or what.

I'll be sure to put that one on my shelf right next to Ursa Minor, the double live album, magik magik orchestra album, and the vault album!

[Knife In The Water]

Still nothing on Summer Gods the album, eh? Just as well, if it truly was going into that "trap" direction...

Kryz actually posted two instagram stories yesterday of them in the studio. One has some music playing behind with Stephen recording vocals and another is an 8 song tracklist that is blacked out.

I thought summer gods was the live album, no?

[Mac]

Was going to pick this up on vinyl but the record is $25 and the shipping is $26.50. Fuck that.

I ordered and paid it. So damn annoying as I have tried to add a couple of other things to justify the insane shipping cost. But it just increases substantially for every extra item added. So frustrating! But I have all albums on vinyl so couldn't stand the thought of missing out.

[themilkman23]

I’ve ordered it for the same reason smokey242.

I’ve realised that I can never be as agree with shipping charges as I was when I bought the tour book with the CD that was supposedly strictly limited and only available as a package.

They then released all the tracks on iTunes.

[Mac]

its $51.90 without customs and the £2.00 you'll get charged to convert to Pounds. Rough.

See the first post of the thread:

Per an interview released on March 29, 2017:

But sonic changes are coming, [Jenkins] warns me, and fans will be able to hear those deviations this summer when the band releases its newest project, Summer Gods.

“Right now, Summer Gods sounds like a trap record, pretty much,” Jenkins explains. “It’s not rap, it’s more just me spitting and spitting and spitting. It’s almost all beats, and then me going for it over them.”

They´ve played two new songs recently at Beale Street festival. One of them were a cover of Babyshambles fuck forever, the other either an original or an cover as well. Not sure. The videos can be seen in the "third eye blind misfits" group on facebook.
