Demos i and ii Questions and Discussion
I was thinking earlier about Substack and Demos iii and wondering what it was like for y'all who were following the boys back in 2019 when they released the first two iterations of Demos, between the actual demos of Bambi on i then the unreleased tracks on ii.
Had they played the Demos ii tracks live before the album release? I'm thinking of things like Sula that don't have an official release but now with Demos iii, have an "official" recording.
They've scrubbed their Instagram from before 2024 - was any of the drop a surprise, or was it announced that they would release demos of Bambi and then unreleased demos? What was the hype in the community like?
And finally, if they were to make an official non-demo, full release of one of the Demos ii songs, which would you want? I would love a version of Chapstick similar to what they have performed live with Decarlo's trumpet solo, but I would also love to see the difference between the raw sound of Joy with a more refined album release.
