Dance of the Clairvoyants

[Strat]

yeah, i feel like this may be the proverbial diamond in the rough on the new album

Geezes dude.

[tree_]

Lol growing dicks. Can't make this up.

[spike]

stone's intro for the song is killer.

basically everyone had a hand in it.

started with matt cam drums.

stone came in with the bass.

jeff added the keys.

mike added that funky guitar riff.

ed came in with they lyrics.

one by one, yield style. i love this origin story.

the best pj songs are built off a groove.

may the groove be back for gigaton.

[Homeboyd]

Ed was using his "Know Your Rights" voice there for a bit...

[digster]

One thing that seems apparent (and welcome) about this song is it doesn't seem like the kind of song a band would write while valuing first and foremost how it's going to be a killer live track. They've openly spoken about leaning into that on past records and it's hopeful that they seem to be leaning away from that, if this song is an indication.

[Jaeti]

Give me 11 more songs with the same direction/energy/vibe. I’m totally in.

Pretty please.

[The Argonaut]

I don't every really see myself listening to this one after tonight. I'm just listening to it a lot now because it is weird and it troubles me

[stip]

It was a pleasure actually enjoying pearl jam with you all for an evening. I hope we're still there in the morning.


Good night RM.

Geezes dude.

if i set expectations low they'll be exceeded.

STELLAR!

not sure how this will sound live. But at this point I will take a new studio sound and a diverging live show. Strong A effort

[PHATJ]

I haven’t had a reaction to a new PJ song like this since I first heard You Are.

Jeff Ament:

"I can’t tell you how proud I am about this group of songs. As you know, we took our time and that benefited us taking more chances. “Dance” was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration, mixing up the instrumentation and building a great song, and Ed writing some of my favorite words yet, around Matt’s killer drum pattern. Did I mention Mike’s insane guitar part and that Stone is playing bass on this one? We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting."

This didn’t deserve a bottom page.

It "troubles you" ? Kill Self

boss outro could be ruined by eddie egging on a call and response scenario /:

Gigaton is a rather lame title however. I will think about that later after grooving to the clairvoyants a couple more time though

That was a funny post, leave him alone

[LetMeSleep]

This really has set in after five listens. First listen I thought a distorted guitar might come and live it may well do.

This could become paired with Daughter live. It could easily seg into this.

"Taking more chances" = yo, we ain't releasing that stale LB type stuff this go around.
