Dark Matter (song)

[scrub12]

B-side?

[RockPusher]

Did anyone else paste the vocal intro from the b-side?

I'm loving this.

I want to hear no fair

[Buby]

I'd love to hear it, do we think it's on the album?

Great question. Or could it be one of many snippets sprinkled through the whole thing maybe?
Who knows...
Here's the one I meddled with: https://vocaroo.com/1cTYUQ4rjm2F
Literally only copy/pasted the intro from the instrumental version.

[Hatfield]

From a Phish Board:

I like it! Very energetic and catchy

sounds like Eddie's been hanging with Jake Snider from Minus The Bear in seattle.
decent song, not great.

I also think the new song is just ok. Music is cool, but I need to get used to Ed’s new way of singing.

i feel so depressed about the way basically all modern music sounds now, in terms of production...this sounds the same to me as that green day record that just came out..the production is really sterile, and clearly influenced by mass-market pop. like just the sound of the guitars and the drums...really inorganic.

Honestly it grows on me more and more with each listen.
Ed's voice is terrific, like he's leaning back into his former days phrasing. This sounds like it could easily live on Avocado or Yield.

Huh.

[Jaeti]

I'm really struggling with placing this in a "sounds like it could be on <Album X>" or "one part Y, two parts Z" context. I haven't tried that hard, but for me the answer isn't obvious at all.

it reminds me of the "Colour Me Blind" intro by Extreme

Don't try *too* hard. Maybe it's just hard to categorize, which is a good thing.

Oh for sure, I'm not trying to force it.

Gave me Imogen Heap's "Hide And Seek" vibes.

If you have to push, you don't have to go. Always remember.

as a disabled person I can tell you that's often inaccurate

[Ms Harmless]

I wish Ed had just left out that screamed "for someone else's mistake" at 2.18 and had the courage to keep it chill going into the bridge

yes!! thats exactly what i thought too!

i kinda thought it might be a "rickroll" so it'll have to grow on me.

[jackcameron]

This song kicks arse! I can't wait for the album to drop and the Australian shows!

Eddie's growls near the end of the song are a nice addition.

from what I've seen they're really leaning into the classic (slightly cheesy) hard rock for this one, but this time for me it's working (so far)
