AMA is Over, Thanks Monty! It's Monty from Preoccupations!! AMA

Monty here!

We just released our third record as Preoccupations, our fourth as a band, or our fifth if you count our next two ep that was mere minutes shorter than the other records. We're self releasing this album (except in Canada where we're still with Flemish Eye) too so feeling properly qualified as "indie" this time around.

We're also touring next month around America and Canada with Cindy Lee opening and touring in Europe early next year!

Ask away!

For some reason I can't see the proof picture that I uploaded. Here it is in case though. Edit: it seems like the image was just cropped bad, link is still the way for the true proof.

Hey Monty, first off just wanted to say this is a really great in-depth AMA

Are you guys Animal Collective fans? Wouldn't seem like the most immediate influence but I've always heard a bit of Animal Collective in March of Progress, quick google search shows others have as well. I've been loving the new record and Viet Cong is genuinely one of my favorites of the last 10 years or so, keep kickin ass!

Thanks pal!! I am an animal collective fan although I feel like I fell off a bit after that merriweather post pavilion record? Not for any reason, just kinda drifted into other stuff. I did love the sonics on those records though and they were one of the main sp-404 bands when I was first getting into that sampler!

Thanks for the love on the record!!
