I love the new song! I’m debating traveling down to New York for the Brooklyn show or just waiting for the next Boston/Providence area date…

bomayaSeptember 8th, 2011 at 2:32 pm

Very nice song. Interesting to see new band members in there. Slightly different vocal style which is cool.

And by the way, Ellen, you look hot! :)

NalaniSeptember 8th, 2011 at 2:36 pm

Come to California!!!! Please.

ChrisFSeptember 8th, 2011 at 2:42 pm

Very nice, but just make sure you guys don’t make Romance is Boring, again. This song seems a bit similar to There Are Listed Buildings.

JACK!September 8th, 2011 at 2:48 pm

THIS IS BLISS! PLZ O PLZ come to utahhh! you never have and we would DIE!

SimonSeptember 8th, 2011 at 2:52 pm

I’m so excited for this new album! AHH!!
Teaser tracks always do this to me. Brilliant work once again mates. :)

AndrewSeptember 8th, 2011 at 5:48 pm

No love for Boston? That’s fine, we don’t have any love for ourselves either…

JJSeptember 8th, 2011 at 6:07 pm

when you say Kings College, is it just for the people at that university? :/ love the song xxx

AndrewSeptember 8th, 2011 at 6:26 pm

Please come to Toronto!

MattSeptember 8th, 2011 at 7:24 pm

Ahh, I’d love (understatement) to see you guys play live, but I turn 18 in December. Is there any way I can somehow get into either NY show without having to get a fake ID?
(because something would surely get messed up along the way — I’m like every character Michael Cera’s ever played [read: Michael Cera himself] when it comes to committing crimes)

Great song, though; love the imagery in the video. Can’t wait till I have my hands on the pre-order bundle!

johnSeptember 8th, 2011 at 7:25 pm

Gareth you gotta come to the grog shop in cleveland again, you all know you loved it.

Sarah :DSeptember 8th, 2011 at 7:30 pm

I LOVE YOU. ALL OF YOU. A LOT.

KaraSeptember 8th, 2011 at 7:45 pm

Noooo, why aren’t you in New England?

I wasn’t able to see you last time, but I would LOVE if you’d have a show somewhere around here!

(NYC is 18+ so I can’t go…)

CourtneySeptember 8th, 2011 at 7:55 pm

So excited! Thanks for the song. Cannot wait to hear the entire album and see you in DC in November!!

Benjamin ParrySeptember 8th, 2011 at 7:58 pm

This song is incredible, breathtaking, brilliant, tragic. I’ve already played it a hundred times. Before I was excited for this next album now I would do anything to get it early. And THANK YOU SO MUCH for coming to Philadelphia, getting to see you live outside of London will be amazing!

DeniseSeptember 8th, 2011 at 8:09 pm

Yay Philly!!

AlecSeptember 8th, 2011 at 8:51 pm

Hey, do you guys think I’d be able to get into the NY shows? I’m 17, and it’s 18 plus. You guys are my all time favorite band, and if I can’t see you I might die. Please let there be a way for me to get in.

Stephen BSeptember 8th, 2011 at 10:22 pm

Hate to keep begging for Ireland, but for the love of all that is holy please come to Dublin! It’s awful………..but……..yeah.

Anyhoo, thanks for the free download!

HollieSeptember 8th, 2011 at 11:20 pm

Come to Canada please! Vancouver would love you.

BenSeptember 8th, 2011 at 11:22 pm

LC! Japan isn’t THAT far from Australia…just even a Sydney show? Pretty pretty please!

Nat NeverSeptember 8th, 2011 at 11:41 pm

Come to California!! Los Angeles pleeeasssse

ToddSeptember 8th, 2011 at 11:45 pm

@Alec idn man, I saw them at Music Hall last year (going again this year) and they checked ages and what not, and all the shows I’ve been to at bowery are like that too being that they serve alcohol and stuff. Lame, I know :( Sidenote, do you happen to be in from Staten Island and in a local band? Specifically one called August Needs A Holiday? lol

JeremySeptember 9th, 2011 at 12:53 am

WEST COAST PLEASE!!!!!
I don’t care if it’s San Francisco or Los Angeles…I NEED to see you guys.

RainaSeptember 9th, 2011 at 1:26 am

You have a huge following in New England! say…..Boston? I’ll hang posters around, it will be a great gig! but alas, i would go to Brooklyn for you.

ColtSeptember 9th, 2011 at 1:50 am

Look at all this Toronto love! You guys need to come back <3

!!!September 9th, 2011 at 2:41 am

I literally jumped up and down in my room when i heard this song and saw the tour dates. I have missed you and a volcano even stopped me from seeing you guys but now for my 18th birthday weekend I get a new album and get to see my favorite band <3. You know not to sound like a creep…

EduardoSeptember 9th, 2011 at 3:44 am

You are brillant, as always!
Please come to São Paulo!!

QuinnSeptember 9th, 2011 at 3:57 am

The United States midwest needs some love, I go to school in Grinnell but would happily travel to St. Louis or Iowa City or Chicago, you’d make an overworked student very happy

mitchSeptember 9th, 2011 at 3:58 am

I think the amount of demands for a toronto show is a good sign that you shoud COME HERE

Brilliant song. Whoever said above ‘dont make romance is boring again, this songs sounds like ‘listed buildings’ is clearly talking nonsense. doesnt sound anything like listed buildings. also you can make romance as boring as many times as you want because that album is perfect. in my top ten of all time

RicardoSeptember 9th, 2011 at 3:34 pm

Please come ti Chile!!!

:)

fergSeptember 9th, 2011 at 5:17 pm

this is really good, better than almost everything you’ve released so far, so this is a good sign of things to come! The vocals are sounding better than ever, and you all look even nicer than usual in the video, so top marks all round i reckon. Can’t wait for the album :D

JWSeptember 10th, 2011 at 11:40 am

Tickets were cheaper on other outlets when its went to General Sale

DrewSeptember 10th, 2011 at 5:34 pm

If you guys are gonna use our state’s likeness you should at least come play a show in st. louis!

CharlesSeptember 11th, 2011 at 5:08 pm

Only show near me is DC and I’m only 15. I just sighed. I just sighed, just so you know.

F.L.September 12th, 2011 at 11:33 am

RickOctober 16th, 2011 at 3:34 am

The song and video are both OUTSTANDING!!!! I can’t wait to hear the whole album or to see you in NYC! I’ll be at both performances! I’ll be the guy with the unwavering expression of joy! …Ok, that’s not going to make me unique. I’ll be the one with the red carnation.
