The Menzingers - Hello Exile (4 de Octubre)

Me lo he puesto en el coche camino a la capi y bastante disfrutable. Muy agradable de escuchar. No fallan los cabrones.

Estoy MUY enganchado al disquito. Me da un buen rollazo increíble y me hace sonreír como un bobo. Enormes

P.D: Anna me parece un hit mayúsculo.

Un poco lo que leo por aquí, un disco tranquilote y fácil de escuchar.
Me ha gustado.

discazo, son sencillamente insuperables en lo suyo

Banda que tenia pendiente y en la que voy a meterme en estos dias de confinamiento. Empezando por el ultimo y me está molando mucho, me recuerdan a una versión más robusta de Alkaline Trio con un poco más de buen rollo.

Son un grupazo. Su discografía entera no tiene desperdicio, pero del "On The Impossible Past" en adelante, son todo discarrales muy serios.

Prometen, son un cruce entre Ak3 y The Gaslight Anthem. Es verdad que este ultimo disco tiene bastantes tranquilas y se me ha llegado a hacer un poquito largo, pero Anna por ejemplo es muy buena. Iré escuchando los anteriores a ver que tal y comentando.

Sí, vienen a ser como unos Gaslight Anthem un poco más gritones. Es un buen simil

"Hello Exile" es verdad que es un disco un poquitín más suave respecto a los anteriores, pero sigue teniendo muchos temones. A mí por ejemplo "Strangers Forever" me flipa. De los anteriores, supongo que habrá bastante consenso en que "On The Impossible Past" y "After The Party" son los mejores, pero "Rented World" me ecanta también. Tiene mi canción favorita de la banda: "Where Your Heartache Exists"

A mí Chamberlain Waits y el ep Hold On, Dodge me flipan también.

Pues mi favorito es Rented World, en el cual está mi canción preferida, "In Remission". De la mejores canciones de la década pasada.

Dicho esto, comparto la visión general de que su discografía es impecable en su casi totalidad.

Lo mismo. Tienen buenos discos. hehe

Van a sacar una versión en acústico del último disco.

We’re pleased to announce a reimagined version of Hello Exile, aptly titled FROM EXILE. 12 songs recorded in our bedrooms, basements, and attics while in isolation. Re-written and recorded during the early lockdown months of Covid-19. Stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side of this.

March 14th, 2020 we played our last show for the foreseeable future at The Croxton in Melbourne, Australia. We were only just getting our feet wet, touring in support of our latest album Hello Exile, before we had to pull the proverbial plug on the entire cycle due to Covid-19. The show was surreal, everyone in the room knew it was the last time we’d be able to gather like this for a long time, and with the world unraveling by the minute… well… we had ourselves one last good time.

The tour was cut short, and we flew home the next day on the first flight back to Philadelphia. After 25 hours of travel we all entered our respective homes and dimmed the lights. The United States was not the same as how we’d left it. To put it bluntly, the shit had hit the fuckin’ fan. While we were beyond lucky to have our health intact, the live music industry vanished before our eyes, and just like that we were out of work like tens of millions of others. As the weeks progressed the upcoming tours got rescheduled, then rescheduled again, then effectively cancelled. There were times when it all felt fatal. There’s no guide book on how to navigate being a working musician during a global pandemic, so we were left to make it up as we went along. We wanted to document and create in the moment, and though we couldn’t be in the same room together due to social distancing lockdowns, we got creative.

We came up with a plan to re-record Hello Exile acoustically from separate locations. We would track the songs from our own home studios, share the files via dropbox, and pray it all made sense when pieced back together. Initially, we planned for the album to be similar to our acoustic demo collection On The Possible Past, but we quickly found out that this batch of songs benefited from more detailed arrangements. So we got to work. We rewrote, and changed keys and melodies. We blended analog and digital instruments in ways we never had before. We dug through old lyric notebooks and added additional verses. We got our dear friend Kayleigh Goldsworthy to play violin on two songs. No idea was off limits. Hell, I even convinced the band to let me play harmonica on a song (no small feat!). The recording process ran from mid-March till June, and upon completion we sent it over to our dear friend and close collaborator Will Yip to mix and master. Like always, he did an amazing job bringing our vision to light, and we can’t thank him enough for all his hard work on this project.

Even though Hello Exile was released before the pandemic in October 2019, the amount of foreshadowing the albums subject matter has to this particular moment in time is truly something. Additionally, re-writing and recording it while the country was in full blown lockdown certainly gives these songs new meaning and identity. So here it is, our reimagined version of Hello Exile aptly titled From Exile. 12 songs recorded in our bedrooms, basements, and attics while in isolation. Re-written and recorded during the early lockdown months of Covid-19. Stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side of this.

Filtrado!

Estaba claro que más tarde o temprano acabaría haciendo algo por su cuenta. La verdad que por la canción pinta muy bien el disco.

Podría ser un tema de los últimos Menzingers.
