Eric Johnson is such an unsung hero. His slightly atonal dancing around the melody is what makes Archers of Loaf. One of my biggest influences of all time. I've loved that Bachmann has continued his amazing songwriting on his own but it's great to have the magic of Eric, Eric, Matt and Mark back making new music again.
Exploring all the bands I loved in the 90's. These guys were one of them. Saw them live many times. Obviously lost track over the years. Checked out a few of my favorite bands from that era that tried putting out new music and it wasn't great. This was excellent. Wow. Great song. Archers lives on.
Remember in high school when all your friends listened to NIN and Marilyn Manson and you had Archer's Greatest of All Time and Polvo Exploded Drawing on cassette in your 1964 Ford Galaxie? Oh wait...that was me...
Haha a school friend in '95 gave me a cassette with archers on one side and polvo on the other. My music taste changed that day. No Ford Galaxie though 😂
I adore this song. Hearing Eric play it for my request during one of his online shows was one of the best things ever. Just can't express how much joy hearing new music from you guys brings me. ❤️
This song is so awesome live! I think they were playing it in their encore or the 2nd to last song. The place was hopping! Truly an amazing show! Probably the best show I've been to in the last 10 years (and I'm including the Flaming Lips on mushrooms).
They relased a few songs back in 2020 before the pandemic craziness took root in USA. Im particularly fond of Raleigh Days. Saw them at Cats cradle, then Nashville that year. Definitely one of the most underrated bands i know of. Love to AoL! The Greatest of All Time!
@@ArchersofLoafYT Humans are declining in more than just the reason category, but goddamn it, I'm listening still - Absolutely brilliant return, Archers. I've loved all Eric's stuff over the years, but I'm stoked to see all of this, including Eric B's singing so hard . . . (and well, but that's always been the case) - You all crushed it. Great song!!
Maybe it’s me but I feel this is very Mission of Burma-ish with the noise and melody combining into something unique. The tremolo guitar helps a lot as well. Always a good comparison, I think…
I don't love this song. It is a bit droney and monotone, and lacks the dynamics of classic Loaf. That being said, I still feel blessed to be getting any AOL music at all. And I am sure the album will have plenty of offerings that will tickle my Stendahl Syndrome sensors. Thanks for the music fellas!

agreed!
Spot on. Eric J's noodling is a huge part of what makes the Archers sound like the Archers.
100% agree!

This is the only Eric Johnson I want to hear play guitar. Greatest of All Time.
Damn straight!

Also me but I had a 67 Galaxie 😆

Unlikely comeback for one of the most underrated bands of all time. Looking forward to the record.
This is their best new song. For me, it’s the only one that still captures their classic period. Could’ve easily been on Airports.
I've already listened to this song a ridiculous amount of times. I can't wait for the whole album. Archers of Loaf forEVAH!
That's some pot head stuff right there
Wow, this video makes me realize how old we've gotten. I still have my Iron Beagle cassette tape from 1988
So glad you guys are still making music. You have no idea how happy I feel about this. The greatest of all time!
I started to listen Archers Of Loaf because of your videos 💚
@@elnico135 hahaha, awesome!
Bought my tix for the show in Asheville in Dec today!!!!
I adore this song. Hearing Eric play it for my request during one of his online shows was one of the best things ever.
Just can't express how much joy hearing new music from you guys brings me. ❤️
The glorious Loaf anthem I’ve been waiting for. Greetings from Australia!
I didn’t know they still record songs. So cool. I’m glad I’ve found this.
This song is so awesome live! I think they were playing it in their encore or the 2nd to last song. The place was hopping! Truly an amazing show! Probably the best show I've been to in the last 10 years (and I'm including the Flaming Lips on mushrooms).
Well, That's the last thing i expected today. A new Loaf video. Awesome.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm so ready for this... Love the new song.
Powerful song. So glad y'all are back making music together ♥
I'd been missing Crooked Fingers so much before this was released. Never imagined I'd get full-on Archers of Loaf instead!
Sounds friggin' amazing! So happy for you guys. See you at the Ottobar!
The world needs more Loaf
great new tune, so happy to have AoL back. come back to Toronto!
Just grabbed a ticket for Lees in January
So friken good! Love, love LOVE it! Thank you guys... ah-mazing!
My goodness this song is FIRE! I can't stop listening to it. Snagging the full album for sure!
I think it’s 10 times better live.
What a banger. i just can't believe you guys are back making awesome music together :D
and just like *THAT* I'm twenty years old again.
agreed!
Such a great tune
Welcome back fella's!! Sick new song!
I can’t believe how old I am!
Love this record.
reminds me of ytrash heroes which is my fav
Ahh. The only band my ex-wife would go with me to see a second time. That’s some high praise, right there.
We would open for you if you ever get up to Nova Scotia!
Excellence!
It’s been what 23 -24 years since an Archers release? I say long overdue
Locking forward to October .
Looking forward to seeing them at the Ottobar! Third times the charm!

YESS BROTHERS-ANNOUNCE AN AUSSIE TOUR SOON PLEASE!!!!
Love this and cannot wait for their new album (already preordered)!
Awesome song
Super pumped. Severe fan.
Another killer band from the ol north state.
So cool ⭐⭐⭐
Helll yeah!!!!
Definitely my favorite of the new AOL songs so far!
Late career masterpiece. I really hope there's a follow-up album.
more Arch Loafers
Друзья, вы приносите счастье! Привет Archers of loaf из Керчи (Крым).
SO GOOD 😭😭😭
Goddamn this song is stunning.
DOPE
Go Loaf!
stoked.
Anyone still listening in 2022?
{shrugs} We'll see I guess?
Yep

This is a new song. Released in 2022, so how moronic is your comment?
Journey - Faithfully
seriously gripped
Hair Salon!

Both bands are kind of cut from the same cloth
Maybe i bought that record there when i picked up yours. SF/
When are y'all playing the Cradle?
Hopefully first half of '23
Yay!
Coming to the UK??
Weeeeeee!!!!!!!
I always assumed AoL was a Merge band all this time...Guess I can now quit assumin'
Merge did the 2012 LP remasters. They're really nice.
fuckin' awesome
sounds like billy joel

Yeah, I find this pretty underwhelming. Oh, well, I guess I can't expect much over 20 years later...
I did think Talking Over Talk was amazing. I still see plenty of potential, and reason for hope, in the upcoming album.
*blocks your path*
Dude should just shave his head already
