New single Golem just dropped. I wasn't even aware they were releasing a new song.

The only song I don't like yet off the new album is Turntail, the rest is really good!

This is one of my favorite songs sent from my last roulette, so reading this from 8 years ago is kinda funny.

Turntail slaps

Actually seeing these guys live tonight supporting Devin Townsend. Really like the new song.

Nice

[twosuitsluke]

Yea, I thought it was pretty good. For whatever reason Rise Radiant didn't resonate with me at all, so hoping the next one will.

Edit- HOLY FUCK EARTHSIDE IS OPENING!!!!!

[Fritzinger]

I wonder if "Mute" is actually a song on the album, since some websites don't list it on their tracklists for the album. I hope it's not just a "placeholder" for side 3 of the album and is listed by mistake, since without it only 10 minutes would be filled with music on that side.

I saw the news of the single and album over the weekend, but didn't catch the tour announcement  Definitely will go to that NYC show.

Jim mentioned to me at Progpower that they would have new music and a US tour soon so none of this is a surprise, but glad to see it's happening.

[cramx3]

Bought my ticket for NYC today, looks like they had two tiers of GA pricing for the same section, a cheaper one for those who buy early.  Like a $5 difference. But figured I'd scoop one of the cheaper prices now since I feel like I'll definitely attend and want these guys to get some good support which I feel like they may not get (I just honestly have no idea what the turn out would be like since they've never played NYC before).

[lonestar]

I'm going full VIP for this one.. They're doing a special VIP set like Tesseract did.

[axeman90210]

Another song from the new album dropped. I like this one.

Yea this is probably the best song they've put out since In Contact for me. How has that been 6 years?

[Fritzinger]

I will interview Sam Vallen tomorrow night, do you guys have any questions you'd want me to ask him?

New video for The Stormchaser. Album is shaping up to be pretty damn good.

I've only seen them once, in a tiny venue, but well worth it. They closed with Graves which was an incredible moment.

Can't fucking wait for this show, the venue is my favorite, that perfect combination of intimacy and killer sound.

[Lonk]

Local show is February 3, on a Saturday so that's not so bad, but location and venue are awful

What?! I LOVE Gramercy Theater (as long as it's not sold out because then it feels like a fire hazard)  I have my ticket already. Location is also fine, maybe not the best but it's not terrible either.

Kind of crazy that I've seen them twice already, both at their US ProgPower shows and have met the band both times.  I'm very fortunate to be able to attend that festival for all the awesome memories.

[Lonk]

Idk, the few shows I've seen there have not been great  I do like the seats on the back

That's one of the reasons I like it, a lot of shows (not all) have open GA floor and seats so you have options.  I also just think it's one of those old school cool spots with all the posters on the walls and stuff from past concerts.  Just kind of has a cool club vibe (the capacity is 500). Also a venue with only one way in/out so you can hang outside to meet the bands some times. I've had a lot of good experiences there in 2023.

[Samsara]

Dug one of the new tunes. I honestly didn't even realize Caligua's Horse put out an album in 2020. I pre-ordered the new one. Debating if a Wednesday night in Berkeley is doable.

Yeah, maybe. I just don't want to pull the trigger like I did for TesseracT and then can't go.

[Jamesman42]

The last posted song and video are awesome.

I was going to go to the Berkeley show, but my wife and I are going to be on a work trip that week in LA, so now I'm going to the LA show the night before! Funny how that works out 

[lonestar]

So close....

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I know right? I was thinking, maybe I'll run into RJ at the show

Hey buddy, we published your interview today (video and transcript). I really LOVED this one, it was like Sam was so into it that he could have talked for hours.

Yeah it was really fun talking with Sam. He is a very interesting character and fantastic musician. And he knows SO much about music  I love that he wrote a dissertation just about harmonic vocabulary of Steely Dan music. Not to mention his 300 pages strong doctorate (really interesting read for anyone interested in progressive rock by the way).

Besides, the new album is fantastic. Sets the bar very high for upcoming albums in 2024.

New album is out via VPN. Impressed on first listen. This has the most prominent "Arcane vibes" of any CH record yet.

Looking forward to it! I'll be spinning Alkaline Trio's new one at midnight but Charcoal Grace will be my first spin in the morning.
