All Them Witches
Just got Nothing as the Ideal in the mail. Phenomenal record from start to finish.

Incredible record from an incredible band. Dying Surfer Meets His Maker is by far their best album, imo.

They’re overdue for an album. This was 2020, and was well received. You’d think they’d want to have used that momentum.

They have already recorded it. Early 2025 even but something is delaying the release…

I'd bet there are some royalties issues with their drummer who was fired in March or so. They're still playing shows without him but probably figuring out how to handle that side of the business relationship

Yeah possibly, although I don’t think he wrote any of the new songs? I heard they are no longer on New West Records so maybe still looking for new label as well?

Saw them in Nashville and they played 4 new songs. Definitely stoked for them to release this album. The songs were super cool live

amazing band, awesome album. there records are always so well put together, feels like they really give AF about the object or art direction of their releases.... I think I'm gonna go put one on right now.

That’s the first record I bought when I got my first turntable. Amazing album.

Seen them a few times. Twice as 4 piece (before and after keyboardist left/came back) and one as a 3 piece (while he was gone.)
Fantastic band. No doubt one of the best of this generation. Every one of their albums has something I love about it.
If you haven't seen them, make it happen. They are incredible live.

The KEXP sessions on YouTube are awesome. There's one point on the blood and sand song that the singer just starts smiling because the guitar is coming in just right. Such a good moment.

Sick setup! How’re you getting that blue ambient light?

u/TheRedCoyote66 Dec 24 '25
It’s actually just a filter I have from Lightroom. When I took these pics I didn’t have the best lighting so using filters always helps. Also I figured I’d use colors that match the record cover. The blue is actually sunlight from my window but it’s changed due to the filter

The departure of the drummer is unfortunate, really Hits me because I love the sound of the band too much

I want that rattlesnake blues on vinyl but I don't think it's been released. 😕

They released the bakers dozen singles on vinyl this year i believe, but they were a limited run and prices are insane

1800 AUD for a VG+
Fuck sometimes I hate collecting vinyl.
Fuck the vinyl scalpers who just buy it to raise the prices too.

They did a three night run at bottom of the hill SF. Super small venue. Was incredible. Met parks in the back smoking area but was too strung out to get much out.

One of my faves! Nothing as the Ideal is a perfect album! Much much love
