The first single (“Sweet”) from the new album dropped today. Interested to hear people’s thoughts. I loved this version. Feel like they got all the sweetness out of it. Excited to hear what comes next.
Take this straight playlist to the dome from my "Might of Fall" playlist I posted a few posts ago. If you don't have it let me know in comments.
Straight fire one after another.
Start at Back in LA, and see how far you get until you blow your mental musical load.
I'm not even done with Hollywood and Brian's gone straight for the ol G Spot Tornado.
The band just dropped a lil snippet of them talking about a studio version of Sweet. Gotta imagine there's more coming too? 🤞 for a new album dropping soon!
It’s been a while since I’ve taken a little time to talk about Spafford here. I listen to the boys every day and I’m going to tell you what I’m listening to. My current playlist.
From their most recent run, I find myself listening to 4/16/26 Bowstring often. Single set show with several highlights, including 2 well placed teasers. “Soggy Froggy” has “Enter Sandman” by Metallica AND “When The Saints” within. The jam drop after Sandman was perfection. Then, 8 minutes into “Double Time”, strap in! This is the Nick Tkachyk I love on drums. Nothing against the a RD-9 but it ain’t this. Meaning, it’s loose, raw. It’s not AI, has life! Outstanding Nick. Cory Schechtmans work on the piano over that sick beat, fantastic. Cory’s combination of synth and piano are unmatched. I love those descending scales as Moss gets ready to open up and drive this beast home. Brian Moss is at the top of his game and still climbing. Don’t sleep on this “DT”. It’s fire! I don’t give much attention to Eyes and Tainted in this set. The “Frog Gossip” set closer on the other hand is wonderful. Lock in on sounds, follow Brian or Shon. Each member collectively, independently, locked in. This is Spafford. It’s what they do.
The 29 minute “Back In LA” on 3/15/26 is played daily. This is a 4 minute song and has only been jammed out twice prior.
-2/18/26 for 23 minutes.
-11/6/25 for 27 minutes.
This is undefined jam space, loose, weird, experimental. I don’t hate the RD-9 here one bit. The balance and incorporation into the music are beautifully coupled together.
Bravo on the “Fuel” opener on 4/17/26. This is a good song to move to a frequent list. LTP was on 10/22/25. “Fuel” compliments Moss vocally. It doesn’t need to be jammed. It’s a perfect hit and run, 4 minute song that would fit anywhere in a set.
Set 2 on 4/16/26 is my morning jam, my drive to work. There are three ways I enjoy starting each day.
-Ginger Stardust.
-Gold Glittered Hat.
-Dream Jam.
It sets my mood upbeat, happy, and rallies awesomeness. The 11/5/25 Soggy Froggy still holds a top spot for happiness.
6/24/25 - This was night 2 of 3 at The Press Room in Portsmouth, NH. All my favorites are in this show. MVSetlist award here. I love listening to the show.
6/22/25 Nashua is also a vibe I visit often. The venue was empty that night. Like, no encore empty and is probably my most played show.
There you have it. My current rotation of Spafford. What’s on your list?
