As a recovering addict with just over 2 1/2 years of complete sobriety.. I relate to Loaded Guns on so many different levels. That hook describes how I am as an addict to the tee.
Hey all, so I pre-ordered the big bundle but it’s not showing up in my collection on bandcamp. It does show as bought on the album page but I can’t download it. Does anyone know whats up? Has anyone experienced this before? If Kno sees this, my bandcamp account name is the same as on here. :/

Kno spoke about it in an interview a few years back. I don’t want to misquote what he said so I’ll try to find it. It ended up being a pretty obscure interview. I think that a lot of blueschoolers missed it. If Tone or Kno are cool with it I’ll post it. Lets try to stay on topic though lol.

It was in an interview with Mass Appeal from 2017:
Talk a bit more about Built To Fade. Are you moving in a direction to do more projects like these?
Kno: Yeah, we’re in the process of finishing up a second album, but we’re going through some growing pains. I think the first one was just very loose; I approached them with a vision and we just knocked it out. It was friendly and artsy and just kinda flowed. But around the time To Dust dropped, Anna Wise got invited on the Yeezus Tour to handle background vocals for Kendrick Lamar, got a new manager and basically just stopped speaking to Dane, Zoe and I.
It was really weird and unexpected—especially since her and I had been friends for about four years at that point. We were literally in the middle of doing press for the album and she just stopped replying to our publicist and me and just ghosted. She asked Zoe if she could crash at her crib after the Seattle Yeezus show, but since then, I don’t think any of us have even spoken to her, so the three of us have just been working on the next record ourselves.
We have a single and video lined up entitled “One Ship” that is real ’80s indie or New Romantic sounding that I sing lead vocals on, which will be the first time I’ve released something for the masses in that vein. I’ve been mainly concentrating on songwriting as a “next phase” of my career so I think it’s a good, natural move for me. My production is so melodic it lends itself to that type of thing, just as much if not more than hip hop, honestly.
Word. As much as I love Anna Wise as an artist.. as a person what she did was pretty foul. It is what it is though. She wouldn’t have fit on an album like this and I’ve always preferred Fjer as an artist.
damn… had no idea about this. sad to see her go, but i agree that fjer is an excellent fit for this album since she’s been making stuff like this for a long time now

This may seem weird, and it’s extremely hard for me to maintain the will power, but I am waiting for the record to be in my hands to give this my first listen. I miss the days when you heard the album for the first time with a physical copy. I believe its looking like December before we get our hands on it, but I want to put this thing on my turntable and experience this album with everything it has to offer. And then from there, I will replay it and do my best to play it out, which I doubt will ever happen. But I will definitely get back to this thread when I get my first full listen.

You’re in for quite the experience. It’s a vintage vibe that will only be made better by a vintage format. Enjoy!

Just came by to say that I finally got my first listen of Nostalgia. Got to sit, uninterrupted, in my “man cave” with my record player and got the full experience. What a freakin album! Kno will always be on another level. Just when you feel like MAYBE someone else is creeping up on him, he does stuff like this and breaks new ground. It really feels like everyone is playing catch up to whatever he’s doing. It’s incredible.
I appreciate you all hyping this album up just enough for the expectations to be met and exceeded. What an enjoyable listen! Time to wear out my needle…
Gotta agree with you Houstonz, while the last couple months I’ve been listening to LIN a lot more than To dust. To dust is just something else for me. But LIN is a beautiful follow up!
