every time you use that “epic drum” sample in a movie trailer you should have to pay every person on earth $1,000
Longlost EP is here!!! So much to say, but let’s start with just thank you to all our friends and collaborators who inspire and support us—and thank you for listening.
this song includes my favorite recorded moment in BW so far (the stick click at 0:25)
Boundary Waters@boundarywaters.bsky.social · last yr.“First Son” is out today! This is the second single from our upcoming EP, and we went a little crazy with string arrangements on it. Hope it gives you some good energy!

One last word about Last Seen! Lyrics are up—this song is built around vignettes of how you picture someone when you hear their name. For instance, our drummer Clint was last seen ordering an appetizer and 3 desserts as his meal (he is a genius). How were you last seen?
got a very chaotic full random liked songs shuffle going this afternoon, which has progressed through OutKast, Stan Getz, Final Fantasy VI OST, Planes Mistaken For Stars, and Chopin so far
becoming the guy at work who responds to suggestions we use AI tools for various relatively important things by politely asking “idk, don’t you think we should use actual intelligence for this one?”
the kind of left-on-left book review that’s like “this would be better if it were a different book, about a different thing, specifically my whole thing, written by me”
No I’m serious bro the enemy’s Toyota Hi-Lux has very advanced radar capabilities, if we don’t send stealth bombers we will face major losses
Aric Toler@aric.bsky.social · last yr.This new Times piece on the last month of American bombing of Yemen has some insane details. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/u...
got a little break before release show…time to tear the board apart and fix every little layout thing that has bothered me in recent shows
How I feel when I start seeing discourse about a bunch of YouTubers I’ve literally never heard of:
album so powerful I can only listen to it sometimes, when I need something to change in my heart. not for recreational use

Sooper Records exists to produce Music 2 with a roster of 3,000 IQ musicians for whom Music 1 was not ambitious, creative, or interesting enough. Look upon their works and tremble
Sooper Records@sooperrecords.bsky.social · last yr.As the only full-time employee at an indie record label, a sampler covering the last 7 years is also my life's work. Please review my album. Lnk.to/soopersecret3
the $99 sm57 is a universal constant like pi or avogadro’s number…they are messing with forces they do not understand
jae holzman@jael.bsky.social · 2y agoso, for many years, the sm57 microphone has been precisely $100. it’s a common fact of life for performing artists and sound engineers — that mic is ALWAYS $100. for the first time in what anyone in my network can remember, due to the tariffs, the sm57 is now $110.
I have no way to play my cassettes since my tape deck (a 2004 Volvo with 219,000 miles) failed a state of Illinois emissions test and had to be put down

Dexter really could have been an all-timer if it had a second good main cast character
Star Wars ppl are always like no dude you gotta check out the new one no it’s not another dogshit cash-in I promise it’s amazing they finally flesh out the backstory of Dingo Thrax and there’s a lot of stuff with like how the imperial comptroller’s office works
Duncan left an Easter egg for us in the bass part on “Last Seen”—how bout the first person to find and DM us gets the new EP-related merch free? 🥚
