When I realized the guitarist and singer were the same guy it blew my mind. The track x riff isn’t really tricky on its own but I can’t sing it for the life of me
Winners in my opinion , a brilliant debut album , keep on keeping on , amazing musicians that are only going to get more amazing , look forward to your Norwich gig in December .
I wish that I could go to that gig, but unfortunately I'm a bit far away from Norwich, since I live in Argentina, lol. I'm hoping for a Latin-American tour, though. It'd be great.
Mental health issues they are invisible for the most part outside you might appear to be fine while inside your everything but fine struggling to maintain
@@SkellyLake Even the song that they played is "too long," that's why they played this shorter version of it. Not the kind of music I'd normally expect on there, though, so it's actually great that they even got nominated and got to play.
And also the past, in a way. Art is funny like that :P But I agree, for sure. They're a great band, both live and in the studio, and they have a lot of talent & potential to create even greater stuff.
@@aidxn97 I am more than thankful. And BCNR still lives on and it will continue for longer I just saw the irony in the comment. I’m really excited to see how the band moves forward after losing their vocalist, if any band can make it work I think it would be this one. Bittersweet
The older I get, the more I realise that those who don't get music such as this are not only missing out... but are immensely lucky that their journey in life has been so kind to them, in my opinion. Those who don't currently understand or process this, maybe revisit it later in life and see how you perceive it then 😊 life experience and growth can really change the lens in which you see things through. If you come back and still have the same opinion, that's cool too. The beauty of art is that it's subjective, no need to yuck others' yums. Stay in your lane, be kind to one another. Much love ❤
Damn so sad that Isaac left, but I totally get why it had to be done. One needs to address their demons before it consumes them. Hopefully he can do just that and find himself in a way better creative position in the next five years. I was looking forward to seeing them tour their new album coming out on Friday, but at least we have video archives!
@@71hammyman ah it's amazing, I'm loving it. I have listened to it already a few times running from library to library this morning. Beautiful stuff. Can't get enough of "Good Will Hunting," and "The Place Where He Inserted The Blade." So far I think they've managed to outdo their debut which is phenomenal.
@@nusoul yeah I'd say they've definitely outdone their first one, didn't think that would be possible, album of the year already for me! 'Good will hunting' is boss
Honestly. I don't mean to be offensive but the lyrics were the weakest part of the band in my opinion. Instrumentals are why I repeat songs and vocals sound great but the lyrics I actively tune it out because if I start actually hearing the words being said... I cry or cringe. I don't know. Lyrics are mostly trash anyway. I should just read a book if I feel this way.
Yeah and the arcade fires earlier stuff, I saw them at reading festival just after they had released neon bible and they had hauled that huge ass church organ with them just for the intro to intervention. Was an awesome show, really get similar vibes from these guys!
Nothing against Arlo Parks. Her Mercury Prize is well deserved. 'Collapsed into Subeams' is quite a great record. In fact, this year's shorlist was truly stacked! Lots of great stuff were taken into account as well as snubbed (yes, I meant black midi). Still 'For the First Time' is the best album of the year.
In a way, yes. It's a really "human" album, I think, so we can all relate to it in some way or another. I'm really excited for what they're going to release next.
@@condimentking414 Applications closed May 12th, Cavalcade released May 26th. So unless I'm missing something and albums that are still unreleased to the public can be submitted the timeline doesn't match up.
Truly inspiring, the fact that music with a bit of substance and interest can get even this much attention nowadays is really good news. Thank you all for existing!
Track X es una canción hermosa y brillante y esta versión es tan armónica y poderosa. Mucha energía femenina. Los quiero mucho. Un día van a venir a México, estoy segura. 🧡
Yo sueño con verlos también aquí en México y desgañitarme con los "ooooohhhhs" de ésta, que es, mi canción favorita del 2021 junto con "John L" de black midi.
@@dansaunders1655 No, it does make sense, but it literally has a lot of the features of a cryptic clue. The word "irregular" is usually a clue that there's an anagram. So in this case you'd be looking for a synonym of "comfortable" that is also an anagram of "groove". It would be an incredible comment if there existed a word that met such criteria, but alas.
they were nominated for “For the first time”. I don’t think playing a song from an unreleased album would’ve made much sense. I agree though but yeah, they were probably forced to play a song from FTFT
shocked how critically underrated this album actually is. i guess it makes sense that it didn’t win, still need to listen to the arlo parks record... but yeah this and cavalcade are easily my album of the year picks. also very interesting pick for a performance, i guess it is their most popular song on Spotify right now. but to me it’s the strangest on the album, much more minimal. glad they pulled off this full band version though, sounds incredible. if being the next arcade fire is their goal, they seem like they’re very much in reach of that.
They played this song because, well, they weren't going to play Sunglasses or Athens, France in there, lol. I feel like this is their "poppiest" song, so it fits the place & the prize. However, the album should have won, in my opinion. Amazing stuff!
@@sangresolida yeah i guess not, but to be fair black midi did bmbmbm a couple years back, and Slowthai did run around stage with a making of Boris Johnson’s head. but that’s true, track x is probably their poppiest song despite its minimalism and its complexity. it’s also their shortest song, and i am sure trying to play any of their other songs may be asking for a bit too much time, not sure how that works. but still a great performance nonetheless.
I think there’s a simpler reason for why they picked this song - it’s their newest one. I believe this is the song that was arranged most recently compared to the other ones on the album, so I think they may have thought that this reflects them most as a band.
@@arseniy1329 An even simpler reason is that it's their debut album song that most resembles their next album's songs. They even mentioned how Track X was the direction they wanted to go after the debut. And I mean, AFUT tells you all you need to know.

@@kutteistheking She said she plays with a fender precision in the black country interview with Anthony Fantano which was about 4 months ago. She also said that it's too big for her and is giving her back pain and so she said she was looking for a new bass.
Really curious as to why Isaac chose the particular lyric change and wore the snorkles. Was it just a matter of wanting to stand out / be funny? Seems like odd decisions to make given the situation (Formal setting, lots of first time listeners etc)
@@Janruzalem he was probably annoyed from the intent of the question. That Isaac just wanted to stand out and be funny, that he lacks and deeper meaning with what he does. Regardless no one would know this story and we appreciate his explanation! :)
Kinda wished they played a different song but I get why they chose this since its the only song on the album under 5 minutes. I love the studio version but this live version is kinda boring
snorkel really puts it all together
Agreed.. should've been out front
That’s so funny
dude he’s actually so talented to be able to play that and sing at the same time ive tried so hard but its genuinely so difficult
fr, ive been playing guitar and singing for like 2 or 3 years and i cant get that rhythm down
@@snuggys56 dude i tried to a couple days ago and it the timing is so weird
it's doable with enough practice, i kinda did, of course nowhere near him though

when you write your own song, it's not impressive, that you can play and sing at the same time, because you wrote this before
