I remember years and years ago a Surfing Magazine article about the journalist visiting Perry (and maybe Pete?) in Bali or wherever they were and participating in this song in some capacity. I remember at the time the song being described as kind of manic, or with more energy than what I'm hearing in the snippet. Absolutly crazy how long it's taken to see the light of day (or to be properly recorded), and while we don't get a hint of any vocals here, it does sound beautiful, and I'm excited to hear it.

They performed it at Lolla in 2005. Plenty of audio out there.

The chorus is definitely more manic than the verses.

The artwork looks really cool too. Sucks we have to wait over a week

The fact that you can presave it makes me think there are more than three songs coming…

Sounds boring :sleep:

But I'm also one of the few that never liked the majority of the songs on God God's Urge, so I'm probably not going to enjoy this one very much. Maybe that will change once I hear the song in its entirety.

Wow, I guess we all have our own tastes, of course.

Guys...

It's not Aqua with a Q as in "Questionable reading ability"

It's AGUA with a G as in "Good God's Urge"

Spin is saying the song is part of an EP that will be released in February… I guess the tour will be around that time

Can you hear the snippet without having Instagram? Does it sound much different than the live 05 version. I assume so, but how?

I just talked to Pete. He’s dealing with some personal things, as is the band, that he doesn’t want shared. But it’s a lot. That said, Pete is super excited for the music and believes it’s been done in a pure way. You know how adamant he is about doing things the right way. Tour will be in February and March.

He’s super, super excited about it all but worried about people being mad in the meantime. I reassured him it’s just whiney internet stuff and that once it gets going most everyone will be happy again. He wants to do an ANR circle jam gig. I told him we’ll plan it once the dates are out.

Lots more to be shared soon. And it’s all very interesting.

Obviously the same song, but very dreamy and layered. It’s really beautiful.

I don’t want to be vague, am just posting what I was asked to share. Pete is very concerned about people being upset. Wants to share but was also asked not to say certain things.

The snipped sounds great. There should be no worries about the internets being mad—tours get postponed all the time. Just bring your smiles and music and everyone will be there.

Love to all u cats. Feb and March are gonna be sweet. Might I suggest a secret club show in Columbia or Lawrence?

Oh, I should add that Pete said the band doesn’t control the itinerary.

Welp, so much for all that good will. That was so 2021.

I honestly thought after the cancellation we would never get new music so I'm surprised it happened.

I'm sure dealing with Perry is very challenging. I just hope they can play some live shows. If it doesn't happen I will be disappointed but I think we all know it wasn't because of Pete.

I am 99% sure there will be a tour based on my conversation with him. It sounds like most of it is already mapped out and they have some plans to make this successful.

Call me crazy, but I can’t stop listening to this. It’s like a time warp to when these guys were just musical gods to me. When those songs were soundtracking some of the most important years and moments in my life. Total fucking nostalgia bomb. I also feel like this one small snippet sounds better than anything attached to Perry’s name since 96-97. It’s fucking lush and dreamy and trippy and just everything that made GGU and Kettle Whistle so beautiful. I’m really excited. And I think Pete made sure this was true to the spirit of the band. I think they might have nailed it.
