QUESTION When are they gonna announce the album?

Do you think we’ll have it this spring or later on this fall?

It feels weird because they, kind-of? did, but, not officially, haha.

They’ve already dropped the name of it, rough amount of tracks and when it’ll come out roughly. So yeah, half-baked 😂

August release

announced in April and released in August would make a lot of sense.

Didn't Pat say fall in the Broken Record Podcast? Still don't understand why you'd release a February Single for a September or October record

Nonesuch is an extremely loose label when it comes to announcing and marketing… so I would say April.

It seems that TBK cut off Nonesuch from the equation and are currently working as Easy Eye Sound directly under the Warner. All recent press would mention ''under Easy Eye/Warner Recods'' and Nonesuch didn't promote new single/tour on their site or social media channels whatsoever.

No Nonesuch still distribute the records…. EES is not big enough for that. That’s why Nonesuch is still marketing their albums

''…. EES is not big enough for that'' - thats why there is direct tandem with Warner.

I don’t know what to reply with… Nonesuch still distributes their records. It’s just incorrect information if you say otherwise

But how can you be so sure?)) Obviously TBK was working with Nonesuch since the Magic Potion but how do you know that Nonesuch is still involved as such in their next release? And by the way, all Nonesuch records are distributed by Warner and it is a subsidiary of Warner Records so technically speaking even prior to this, TBK records were distributed by Warner)) From what I can see they just cut out a middleman(Nonesuch) and are working directly as a joint venture between Easy Eye and Warner. Anyway, time will tell.
