Speaking of Amazon, I pre-ordered the CD and Vinyl from them a few weeks ago. Originally it said that the CD would arrive guaranteed on Tuesday 5/19 as I would expect since this is the US release date. Just got an email from them yesterday saying “We have good news” that it will arrive guaranteed a day earlier on Monday 5/18. I didn’t know they could do that.
Well, nevermind. According to their Twitter feed, they are playing multiple songs from the new album.
That’s what was going around a couple weeks back that SSU would be third single. But not sure exactly when. Though I also have read matador and Black Friday get mentions as well.
Is Sunny Side Up the next single? I was browsing Twitter / FNM news and “Top Rock News Radio” was playing the song. I caught the very end of the song on my phone, and from what little i heard, it definitely sounded different than the leaked version.
