    No clue whether or not they are opening.

    Doesn't look like it based on the Fruit Bats touring schedule on their webpage.

    Here's a question:

    When they released ADU, they released as singles almost half the album before it's release.  While I love hearing anything as soon as I can, what does everyone else think?  Its a 6 of one, half-dozen of another.  You get to hear stuff early, but then the album itself doesn't feel as "new" when it comes out.  But the alternative is you don't hear anything til October.  Frankly. I'm in a musical rut of sorts right now, and would love to hear anything from them.

    What does everyone else think?

    Sooner the better for me. Feels like there aren't as many things to enjoy as there was before Covid, so I'll take my pleasures when and where I can get them.

    I have the single sitting here digitally but I haven’t listened to it yet. I’ve pre ordered the album digitally but I might hang out til it’s release. You’re right, if you get a few singles before an album release you feel like nearly skipping those (1/3 or 1/4 of the album) when it’s released. It doesn’t sound as fresh or new. Before Gigaton came out I listened to DotC and Superblood Wolfmoon a little bit, but not too much. I wasn’t sick them by that stage.

    I'd prefer as many as possible of the new album songs be brand new to me, preferably 100% of them.

    Remember the old pop album format with the main single first and the 2nd single second and then it's like "do I have to keep listening to this?" The 80s cassettes and such.

    Really looking forward to this album. I tend to avoid singles as much as possible, I like listening to new music all at once on a new album. If i hear a new song once or twice fine. Its my way of not getting burnt out on them.

    I'm the same way. I listened to the first single once & that'll be it until the album arrives.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    It kind of gets on my nerves when bands do this when the album is done and they release 5 or 6 singles before the album drops. I understand it may have something to do with streaming numbers or whatever but it does take away from some of the magic of listening to a new album for the first time. If it'd done release the whole thing.
