Talk about news that you're excited about from your favorite artist/band, upcoming releases, what you've been listening to lately, or really just anything pertaining to music here.

I'm really hoping that this thread doesn't turn into a "What are You Listening to Now?" kind of thread, where it's just listings of a band/song. I'm really interested in hearing what people are listening to, but if you're going to post it, maybe talk a little bit about the song or album that you're linking to.

So yesterday The Wonder Years revealed the release date for their latest full-length. It's coming out on May 14th! A mere two months away. It kind of took me by surprise that it was being released so soon. With the news they posted the album cover and tracklisting.


01. There, There
02. Passing Through a Screen Door
03. We Could Die Like This
04. Dismantling Summer
05. The Bastards, The Vultures, The Wolves
06. The Devil in My Bloodstream
07. Teenage Parents
08. Chaser
09. An American Religion (FSF)
10. A Raindance in Traffic
11. Madelyn
12. Cul-de-sacs
13. I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral

I'm not too sure how I really feel about the album art. It kind of looks like it borrows heavily from the concept art to Firework's last album Gospel. I'm also a little confused to why there is no Hank anywhere to be seen on it. I'm so excited for this album. I don't think any band out there really writes music like Dan Campbell does.

I've also been on a really big chiptune kick lately. And I keep coming back to this song:

Big Giant Circles - HappiNESs

This song to be is a prime example of chiptune done right. This song has such an uplifting and empowering feel to it, and it just constantly builds throughout the song. Little change by little change. It's wonderful. Anybody have any good chiptune recommendations? I'm a tad picky with what I like chiptune wise, but if it has a really good build with structure, I'm down.
