I don't usually post on these things, but I wanted to add that the title of this song is a reference to a short piece of philosophy by Bertrand Russell. It should absolutely be read by everyone.
You beat me to it.
I get strong kropotkin vibes from that essay quite frankly
@@kshproductions7996 i mean their song Cat Fantastic is also pretty based and breadpilled
eljest oh my god haha this just makes me love this band more
@@eljestLiv i never noticed that until now but damn thats so fucking sick
Was not aware a song could sound this magnificent live.
Dude just imagine being in the room, a couple feet away.
I personally think TTNG sound better on these live versions than the albums.
But that's just mr
Wow, this is one of the best performances I've seen from Henry vocal-wise. This song sounds so natural and not like he's straining his voice to match the notes. Whatever is going on here, it sounds fantastic.
Yeah! it's awesome how he changes from the chest voice to falsettos easily and hits high range notes perfectly all around the song.
I think they're in their best moment
Such a brilliant and awesome performance!
Everything about these three guys together doing music is absolutely unique.
My notes:
1. Henry's singing is amazing. He changes from the chest voice to falsettos easily and hits high range notes perfectly all around the song while playing solid and awesome bass lines in odd time signatures;
2. Tim's guitar parts are totally stunning for the ears, the heart and everything. He's one of the best guitar players around, bringing a completely different approach to guitar that's usually seen on a acoustic guitar fingerstyle players. He's able to create extremely complex music full of feeling, heart and soul in an unique way;
3. Chris's awesome as ever. I'm not a drummer to say anything but he adds drum parts full of details going through different dynamics across the whole song perfectly.
My favourite from "Disappointment Island".
Also, contratulations for the sound engineers in this one. What a solid sound!
Man Chris is killin those drums.
He always looks like he's solving complex calculus in these live videos
But looking at the patterns, I can totally see why
it sounds EXACTLY like the album, better even
I just read that Tim is self-taught and I just don't understand how you can be that fucking good without some kind of classical training.
I've always been more into singer-songwriter style punk/pop-punk and emo and this band was my intro to mathrock. I've been listening to them for years and just now am finding these sessions. They're so good and I hope to one day have chops like that on guitar and bass.
Also, is Henry's bass VI home made? Looks like short scale jazz bass with extra holes cut into the headstock for more tuning pegs and bass VI strings and zip-ties to hold it all together? Always wanted a Bass VI but it would be really cool to make one like this.
I listen to him and watch him play, and sometimes I can only throw up my hands and be like "Man, his brain works super differently than mind." Mostly, I'm just psyched that he, they, and this exist.
Hello! Tim is indeed awesome, I got to chat a little with him earlier this year at a concert back in January. Super down-to-earth. You can be as good as him simply if you practise and put your mind to it, listening and watching them play, or by learning and playing some of their songs you'll get a grasp to it! Fingerstyle, two-hand tapping, open tunings and having a notion of playing guitar like a piano or trying to make it sound like two instruments at once, making the most use out of played and open notes. He's a genius at it all for sure, lots of interesting tunings and approach to playing the guitar, he's definitely inspired me a lot. Henry's Bass VI is homemade, he took a short scale bass and indeed re-worked it all to work like a Bass VI swapping the bridge, zero fret nut, holes in the headstock and all like you've mentioned, he has a video talking about it on RUclips aswell. I'd love to make one myself since they're unaffordably expensive where I live and there's no offbrand ripoff economic models here... if I can find a cheap fourstring bass to work on I would haha
I think Henry really focused on writing vocal parts that fit his range on the newest album. It's great
Old guy here wasn't familiar with this band. They are awesome. The music has substance to it and they can perform live without a lot of audio engineer assistance. There IS a future for good music played by talented musicians.
DrummerDanVa not on the mainstream stages but real musicians will survive by the crumbs that slip off the table
Check out Delta Sleep too.
Back again ❤ love these dudes and this song so much
I watch this everyday
I love you everyday
Jiovani Gonzalez 😘
I still watch this everyday
Love this song, I really hope they play it when they come to South America in January!
I just discovered these guys. My god they are great, especially live.
Officially my Fav band
3:04 always takes me away from everything else
Before I knew the lyric I always thought it sounded like Henry was singing “Djent mechanic” at 2:04.
OMG same XD
Perfection at 2:14
Dude, thanks so much for this.
Very nice video, great sharing my friend
The mix sounds really great, but I can't believe you didn't direct the camera on Chris for that fill at 03:42.
Ahhh I whipped to him as quick as I could!
so amazing fam
Fourteen cleaning crimson from carpets of cream
Before that it's seen
School tie tied too tight
I'm afraid it's frayed and has dropped my weight
Cough, choke press your hands on your throat
You broke your nose when your noose broke loose
How quickly caught that i have been
Within the life i've failed to leave
Tragic how common this want to rot
Could it be symptomatic of an ancient mechanic
People evolved for a vastly different time
Before we tamed our fasts with an inquisitive mind
Move on i'm no good
What do i contribute
Cut the fat from your backs
Where do i exactly fit
Does the group benefit if i quit
And cease to exist
Solicit illness from excess
Mental wellness and heath
The antithesis of success
In praise of idleness
The true altruists gift
To spit the wrist
Self sacrifice
A common drive it is rife
With science sustenance in sustained in abundance
How do i find a pride i'm still alive
Upload the "whatever whenever" quick!
Haha I'll edit it soon. In the meantime, share this one! And like guilt your friends into pledging to our patreon :)
brilliant and awesome💕 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶!
Hope everyone is having a nice day

Where's the mustache, Henry??
It was interfering with the microphone, so Chris and Tim forcibly shaved it before our set. They used a straight razor, which is obviously super dangerous, but fortunately the two of them are dexterous enough that Henry had neither a mark nor a moustache on him afterwards.
@@AFistfulOfVinyl wtf
@@AFistfulOfVinyl lmfaoo
i'll probably never get to see them live... brilliant band that hits the sound live very well done. do the members have any side projects?
Hank (the lead singer) has an old band called Pennines. You can find some of their stuff on youtube, but none of them have any current side projects to my knowledge.
claethan field all Pennines stuff is on Bandcamp for pay what you want
want to see the drummer more !
this song sooo hella good :D
holy shit! very nice
3:02 which pedal did he hit?
Tremolo
RUSSEL
