I'll give him this, New Wave sounds like a breath of fresh air compared to the past 5ish years of guys drawing from the exact same synth pop roots

He's bringing back the sound and the look

Weiland's three dads

oh f***

about to listen

broken ego is fire

30 mins until official drop for me so ima wait

how it sound compared to heart stop?

different af

better different?

Heart Stop is one of my fav songs ever but this is a much more mature sound

dangerous woman

Broken ego got this dnb instrumental i was not expecting this s***

bro this album is insane he really made something special

I def prefer the reverb heavy vocals to the Ron Browz auto tune vocals

still chasing after happiness is banging on my system in my house

i gotta do a headphones test next

man there hasn’t been one miss so far

if you told me that the same 15 year old kid who made No Reason and was making repetitive 20 minute songs over Xangang production would go on to pursue synth pop and make an entire album that was reminiscent of John Maus, I would've laughed in your face. this evolution is insane

That vocal inflection on Hard Time He went full New Wave

John Maus? All I hear is Yaz, Duran Duran, Soft Cell

With like contemporary synth pop fushion. Some dnb

both mid

im on the first 5 songs and his voice so far reminds me of songs like Bennington and Molly

I haven't heard those other ppl u named, what should I check out from them?

need his voice to be mixed louder or the lyrics sung more powerfully feels like the instrumentals eat him up sometimes

I was just about to ask what this sounds like, thank you

Really looking forward to checking this out
