Don't wear that hideous-looking Dark Matter single artwork t-shirt they've been trying to pawn off on their fans for your post-event live-stream

the colon one? Maybe it's because of the visualizer on spotify, which has the ball falling into place, but I kind of like it now

Can't wait to talk about the drum sound on the new single.

The movement definitely helps some

Not that clever, I'm afraid, but, I'll gladly edit this and claim credit for it, if you'll permit. :D

Is this out yet?

Our daughter arrived via c section sat am. I’ve been playing her PJ lullabies (babies go Pearl jam on Spotify) and she’s preferential to off he goes and small town. She also enjoys the drums on dark matter and thinks the prechorus is lovely.

I’ve been listening to metal door clips a lot while the sleep deprivation is at its worst here in the hospital. I’m really, really, really loving clip 5 (“waiting for your message to come…”).

I bet it’s upper hand.

The sooner this leaks the better so I can listen to wottman’s glossy production while changing diapers instead of crying/screaming.

Congrats on the birth! I definitely had a pearl jam lullaby playlist on rotation. One had a lot of frog sound effects I found endearing.

Congrats on the kid!

I hope the second single is timed to release when you are in the depths of sleep deprivation (usually around weeks 2-4 with a newborn). You'll have all of the hours in the day to talk about it on RM.
