Pre-Order Thread

That really is the best description I’ve heard. However, I have extreme fatigue of the whole schtick so I think he has to be on radar-block for awhile until I can come back and listen unbiased.

Really? I think his might end up being my top album of 2019. I also don't really see it as that much of a schtick, more a commentary on access to country music for LGBTQ+ artists. Which it may very well not be, but thinking of it in that way makes me not mind the mask as much.
 
I don’t even think of it as a “schtick”, like those of you who have said it, what do you mean by that?

He plays straight forward folk-country music(I don’t get the morrissey comparison at all). When he does interviews, he’s friendly and open about his music and his experiences in music. He’s smart and affable. Is his face partially covered? Sure, but so was SIA’s for years, and I never heard anyone complain about her having a “schtick”.

Sorry, I did refer to it as a schtick/gimmick but I guess I was trying to say it was more my jaded hang up than anything he did. Once you’ve accepted the premise of the performer/art it all works well. I mean Daft Punk are robots, Kiss paint their faces, Father John Misty is a pretentious ass, and David Bowie was an alien. I have no issues with any of these things. I am just unfortunately inherently skeptical of this type of presentation as my initial (and unfair) take is these type of thing are used to distract from the actual music (when in actuality they, in many cases, add to the performance) but once it clicks with me I am fully on board. But yeah, that’s this is my prejudices, nothing they did.

The Morrissey reference was strictly based on his music/voice which I feel sometimes drifts into a Morrissey-eque timbre.

Like you said, He seems like great guy. I just recently watched his What’s In my bag feature where he seemed super affable and down to earth. While making some very thoughtful selections.

FOMO will have me caving soon if it doesn’t show up in US store. FWIW this is her US site but no preorder yet on MTV vinyl.


Edit: I just got an bulk email from her advertising new album. It goes to this link: https://courtneybarnett.merchtable.com/?utm_source=Courtney Barnett Mailing List&utm_campaign=01e5dfd91d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2_10_2018_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_86e2e2dee0-01e5dfd91d-1212422961&mc_cid=01e5dfd91d&mc_eid=898a61b622

Still doesn’t show MTV but makes me think it’s going to show up in the US and EU stores ASAP. Maybe.

Edit 2: Now you can do a follow thru link that include the CD and Digital DL versions. No vinyl buy link at this moment yet.

My buddy Morgan interviewed him at THING. It’s a good time.
 
Orville Peck is amazing, Pony is definitely in my top 5 for the year. I’m so glad I waited as I really wanted this on red but didn’t want to pay up the wazoo for the Canadian loser edition. one of my favorite artist (deerjerk on IG) is also a big fan and made this awesome woodcut of him. 8AA4F2C5-72E2-43F1-A088-DDFF64C89C4A.jpeg

LOL! I love that the Pre-Order Thread has become an Orville Peck Appreciation Thread. I am not complaining in the slightest....

...and I might also be listening Pony as I type this.
