They sound incredible. I may be in the minority but I'd love another strings only album. That said, I'll take a killer one off track ala HYESR.

I have to hear this full band rendition of Whirlwind. Was anyone there that can speak to it? I added this to the setlist thread as well.

I saw Jesse playing No Destination in his story. He has no reason to bless us any further given all the music that he's shared over the past few weeks but, wow, a companion album would be the greatest 250th birthday present ever.

Leaving my wishlist here so when I'm wrong I can look like a total idiot.

1. Ozark
2. Starve Away
3. No Destination
4. We're Going In To The City
5. Starfarer
6. Golden Goose
7. Help Me
8. Nothing
9. No Kings
10. Whirlwind
11. Peace Like a River
12. Joy
13. Kingdom

Description:

Ahead of his highly anticipated debut at the Hudson River Music Festival on June 21, Jesse Welles stopped by the Relix office during a run of New York City performances to deliver three powerful songs touching on love, loss, and the growing influence of Silicon Valley.

Currently crisscrossing North America with performances in parks, back alleys, and pop-up locations, Welles has emerged as one of the most compelling voices of the summer. Next, he'll bring his captivating live show to Croton Point Park for his first appearance at the Hudson River Music Festival.

Watch his full Live From Relix session now on the Relix YouTube channel, then experience Jesse Welles live on the banks of the Hudson this Father's Day weekend.

Live from Relix is presented in partnership with OBOZ: quality footwear that's true to the trail. https://obozfootwear.com/s/3ac44d

Setlist:

Won't You Come Out Tonight

This and Not Some Other Way

Technopagans

Friends down under or those that are there for the day, I come to you on bended knee. Would you be so kind to share any news and reactions to Masks? I'm dying to know if there are any surprise features, how Technopagans and New Swamp sound, and whether there's a companion band record ala WTD. If the world ever starts turning the other way, I promise to return the favor. Thank you.

Sincerely,

A humble American

This has been a really quiet week. I assume this was intentional, with the goal of letting the algorithm cook. That said, it was notable given the frequent posting and build-up prior to the Masks release.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what the rollout may look like? I'm assuming that next week we see the album artwork and maybe a pre-save link. I'd also think we may see an alternative performance of another song on the track list, like Technopagans or something. Then, maybe some press the following week?

It may be the case that the artwork remains the same as the single. That said, if I recall correctly, the Pilgrim single artwork differed from the album cover.

Wow, I was really wrong about the tracks but I'm thrilled that some of these lived on. Meet the New Swamp is such a great song.

1. Masks Off
2. Big Balls
3. Everything Must Die
4. Technopagans
5. Meet the New Swamp
6. Siddhartha
7. Won't You Come Out Tonight
8. Domestic Error
9. Red
10. Join Ice (New Version)
11. This and Not Some Other Way

The new version of "This and Not Some Other Way" sounds terrific. Love the little snippet of Siddhartha. Bummer about Starfarer, though.

I really should be patient but I am dying to know what's in store for us here in the United States tomorrow. Are there any fans in New Zealand or Australia in the subreddit who could let us know whether a single for Masks Off popped up on streaming services this morning or, even better, an album? I doubt the latter but I'd imagine that either would show up at midnight local time.

If it did post, how does it sound? Many thanks from a friend in America.

Thought it might be fun to see how close folks can get to the tracklist. I know that it's a shot in the dark but could be fun. Who knows, we may have a definitive answer on Friday.

My guess (I know it's too long but I love these songs too much to cut them):

1. Ozark

2. Pirate's Look

3. No Destination

4. Don't Stop Believing

5. I Miss My Mom

6. Technopagans

7. Masks Off

8. Witness Me Starfarer

9. Golden Goose

10. Help Me

11. Siddhartha

12. Everything Must Die

13. Nothing

14. Joy

15. Kingdom is Within You

16. Peace Like a River

Looking forward to see who gets the most songs correct and who gets the most in order.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I feel like this is an album teaser but have absolutely nothing to back that up. Ends at the river, Ozark, Siddhartha, Peace Like A River? The river was featured prominently in the Masks Off video and his instagram story from Tuesday with the birds flying over the river.
