808s and Greatest Hits Announce New LP

It’s been a minute since I thought about 808s and Greatest Hits, though I’ll admit to fawning over “Goodbye” in 2017 and hoping that we’d here more pretty quickly. But, a few years passed with little noise, until now, as Skube and company announce Greatest Hits II. Of course, its that smoothed pop churn that borders on the line between trendy indie styles and pop lounge acts. I can definitely see some similarities to Mac Demarco in this, but for some reason, it just doesn’t seem quite as mundane to me…perhaps because I was already a fan, but also because Skube is willing to take a chance or two…like when the song ventures off into a sort of haunted close to draw the track to its end. The new album is out on December 11th!
