I typed out with my west-german typewriter, the entire GvF discography. (PFTP not released yet) fingers hurt, had to change ink cartridges multiple times but at least I have this now 🤣

This is the entirety of the precursor intro track to Play Your Games, track 5 on the album. 💛📀

Many thanks to @allthingsgvf for keeping us updated and including the following video on their Instagram 🙏

P.S. I would recommend listening with headphones with highish volume for the best audio quality.

I was just listening to this on Instagram as I wasn't lucky enough to get the vinyl myself, but many people are saying that the song sounds reversed or that josh is heard ad-libbing when played backward.

The version above is the reverse of @allthingsgvf post. What do you think? 🧐

They put out signed vinyl and CD!

For those in EU, use bravado.de <3

As seen on Instagram today (8/13) they released additional signed items.

As someone who preordered the PFTP oracle first pressing, I was concerned, but it appears that they’ve updated the product to include “signed”

Screenshot of item when pre-ordered, and the same item on their shop today.

While the Instagram post looks like they are signing a reddish insert, and that is what is included in the new drop of the oracle variant, it is unclear what the original oracle variant will include that is “signed”

Hopefully something cool - hoping they clarify, as these drops and item changes on their website are confusing.

it hasn't even been 2 weeks since saw you stand. they've been pretty much quiet ever since.

saw you stand had a lot more views/streams than play your games and it's going up fast.

not even mentioning the tiktok potencial this song presented (which i'm not a big fan of, but nowadays it's important for a song to perform well on the charts)

i feel like they might be kinda wasting the song's potential here, a little bit. there was so much content for play your games, i wish they'd done the same for saw you stand, in a way. cuz they released a lot of stuff previous to its release, but not really after

or am i just crazy here

Their new song popped up on my playlist today. It brought back such fun memories of that whole experience a few years back, while they were on the Starcatcher World Tour.

I'm an aura photographer and had the absolute honor of capturing their auras on film.

Sam and Josh had really similar coloration — what I refer to as the “As Above, So Below” variation, it's a great mix of being grounded - but still connected to the cosmic realms. Josh also had some beautiful pockets of magenta - creative and unique. I believe we did another take that had more yellow in it, which Jake also had. Empowered, radiant and joyful.

And then there was Danny, with those saturated blue shades most deep feelers have.

Getting to meet them and give them a brief interpretation of what their aura colors meant was SO much fun. They seemed incredibly connected to themselves and their intuition. We only got to talk for a little while, but they have such a presence and they seem to really move with intention.

My favorite part might have been when I got to fangirl with Josh about his EPIC Jerry Lee Atwood from Union Western Clothing tarot suit, which still lives rent-free in my head all these years later.

I mean… that thing is GORG.

What immediately caught my attention was the tower, one of my favorite cards. And one that always gets a bad rap. We ended up bonding over it because Josh has the tower on the front of his suit, while mine's actually tattooed on my leg. The tower card represents crumbling old structures (or patterns) to create space for something new. So to me, it's more a representation of breaking free - liberating yourelf from what no longer serves you.

Needless to say I'm a fan and looking forward to their next album!

I’m a huge fan, and have always loved rock and roll style too. I’ve always loved what the band wears, in particular Josh. Has there ever been brands/costume designers/stylists mentioned? After watching SYS for the millionth time today, my obsession with their music and style has reached new levels, and I just wanna know where they’re getting all these AMAZING clothes from.

Thanks for your help guys
