Via aysenuurbarutcu (god I love that look like he’s literally hiding the BIGGEST grin in his fist just so happy and grateful, like we love him more than anything and returns that feeling tenfold; like Louis Tomlinson said “I need you and you need me, and that’s fucking beautiful”)
So yeah. Good Together by Lake Street Dive released a few weeks ago, and this was supposed to come out in June for the June project, but I’m counting it for June so I don’t have an excuse to not do a July project.
The roles were picked based on the 30th Anniversary Music Festival art, so Dedede represents drummer Mike Calabrese, Bandee represents pianist Akie Bermiss, etc. Marx is actually really cute! I should draw him more. He’s representing bassist Bridget Kearney here.
I actually really like how this turned out. This was supposed to be finished in a day, but… I couldn’t.

Yes it is read Cake Street Dive.
Now, thoughts on Good Together? I love it.
They really know how to start a song off. Most opening instrumental is so funky! I really like it! Favorite song is hard to pick… Dance with a Stranger, Seats at the Bar, Far Gone, Good Together… they all are great! Set Sail is so… wistful… I love it so much! It was the PERFECT album closer. Help Is On The Way is so groovy… ach! I love this album. The only song I kinda disregard is Twenty Five. Wistful like Set Sail, but personally not my cup of tea. I don’t prefer overly sad songs. But it’s still good, don’t get me wrong. But I won’t have it on loop like every other song. Please listen to Lake Street Dive if you have the chance! New favorite band besides Sammy Rae and the Friends. Hey, if you like them, I think you’ll like this group too!
Now for other matters.
Playing OneShot. Pretty good game so far. Niko is SO CUTE. Cold take, I know, but it’s the truth. The character designer designed so hard when creating them. Also I’m going in blind, which is a treat. I hear the story is VERY important, so yeah. I watched the Ace Attorney anime before playing the game, ruined it for me. Playing the Apollo Justice trilogy was a treat.
AAI2 released in the West, very glad about that. You KNOW I’m getting it.
That’s basically June, so see ya, and GOOD LUCK MY EARTHLY COMRADES! THE SUN IS COMING.
@aaron-is-comatose Buddy, do I have news for you! (you already know where this is going)
For those of you who don't know, or are new to Sleep Token (welcome!!), let this be your introductory Adamross Williams guide.
You might know him primarily as Adamrossi, Sleep Token's main touring photographer responsible for gorgeous photos like -
However!! There is more!!
Not only is he an insanely skilled photo/videographer, he is also the frontman and lead singer of the Welsh post-rock band Glass Heart!
Wow! Look at the lads! Dashing! Silly!
(1st pic in order - Nathan, Adam, Jake and Sam)
[If their faces seem familiar, it is because not only are the guys in other bands, they have also been a part of the Sleep Token crew - most recently as models for these New and Exclusive garments, along with Adam's gf 🥹)
They are so, so good, and I promise I'm not just saying that. It's actually kinda insane how beautiful and powerful Adam's voice is.
This is their latest single - The Worst Part Of Me - released in August 2024:

and these are the previous most recent releases - Letting Go and Colourblind - from 2023:

Their discography is quite small still, so you can easily catch up on them in under 2h. Definitely reccomend everyone to at least give their last ep - Weathered - a spin. They are so underrated, and I for one am very excited to see them grow more and more!
Here's a bonus silly Adam hitting the anime schoolgirl pose for your troubles:
currently giggling as i imagine Brendon Small planning out the boys' character arcs for the movie and when he gets to Pickles he just thinks "hmmm what if he MOTHERED???"
guys i'm still so pissed abt jatp being cancelled but it's trending on netflix now so everyone go watch it and send those ratings through the fucking roof!!!!
