No Reason

[gavin35]

Well we know that track. Where did word come from?

A guy I know works with record labels and sent me on details

I am waiting impatiently    

[Csar]

Overlooked this in my above link but the track is supposed to be just 4 min long

It says video release in 7 hours (05:00 CET)


Lyrics:
We have no reason to live
We have no reason at all
We have no reason to live
When will they Kill us all

We're very excited to share our new song 'No Reason'. If you've seen us play live over the last year, you may have already heard an early version of it in our sets.

The song contains a vocal sample from the amazing song 'Courts or Wars' by the band Second Layer.

We would like to thank Graham Bailey, Stephen Budd and the family of Adrian Borland for permission and blessing to use the sample. It means a lot.

Tom and Ed

Why did i overlook Wolkenkrabber's post?

Couldn't wait no more and heard it thru vpn.
Absolutely worth the wait!

Spoiler

although It should be at least 2 minutes longer, so there might be the longer mix coming up for vinyl, or something, as the DJ set version was a bit longer.

Also, how much do you feel the album announcement?

which one?

which one?

mobile version of surfshark, I've just took the free weekend trial

But tbh? it doesn't work as speed as I'd like it to

It's a shame they scapped the ending of the live version. With the high pitched synth and the drum rolls, when there's the march and then the flag waving. It was my favourite part

Unfortunately, there's a lot of incentive to make short tracks these days. Short tracks -> more plays on streaming services/easier to fit into playlists -> more revenue. And streaming services are the music business today, where more and more people listen to (auto-curated) playlists instead of whole albums.
As the Chems are already well-established they might not depend on the reveneue from their music on streaming services, but I'm sure that the record companies/music publishers have an editorial say in stuff like track lenght and their profit is literally all they care about.
I remember from earlier times where there often was a "Radio Edit" for the singles, and the full track was featured on the album. Of course, that was when most people bought albums.

YAY NEW MUSIC!

I really love the track. It's too short though

[Csar]

Yeah, it's a great track, a banger. I wasn't so sure when it first appeared live. The only nitpicking I'd have is that they could sprinkle it with some kind of Chems synth sound effects here and there (a "criticism" I have about No Geography as well), especially during the second acid arpeggio, to give it a bit more depth.

The intro is dope, though. And yes, too short! All this waiting and it's just over just like that.

[𝒥𝑅𝒮𝒵]

I must say that it's exactly that type of track I needed the most when it comes to both my taste, my current state, it really allows me to let all of those emotion go away.

It's also really accurate when it comes to current world situations

EXTENDED MIX

[Csar]

"Extended mix" 4:38

Stefan must be right   

[inchemwetrust]

My ears are ready for the premiere! 

[Enjoyed]

Controversial opinion...

I do not think it needs to be any longer.

Love it. I'm singing the bassline and woo-ing at my dog regularly. But it does everything it needs to in the runtime and, not much beyond that. There isn't really anything I wish I could be explored more with a longer version, personally.

[thg]

Did anyone get to hear the extended version on soundcloud? It is not available in my country. 
Did those extra 38s make any difference?
