Breach will give Clancy context

maybe?

Tyler said the tour was a flashback, it’s already been mentioned all the similarities between The Contract MV and moments from the show (petals falling, mic swinging, the piano jump, glowing eyes being us the crowd, droplets of water from Trees drums, handing over the jacket, etc). What stands out to me is Tyler’s hair being longer in this MV. The only MV from Clancy with long hair Ty is Snap Back.

Clancy’s themes of anxiety, depression, old habits, cycles, backsliding, fighting back/navigating, etc, is also a flashback of sorts, representing, just like The Contract MV, the moment of internal struggle going on in Clancy between himself and Nico. Clancy is by himself here with no Torchbearer or banditos to help him out, it’s all him and his strength of will basically.

Then on Clancy once we get to Snap Back, it’s that moment when Clancy does wins, he snaps back to reality (😉), shaving his long hair, remembering all he’s fought for and why and he can see the light at the end of the tunnel again, fighting for a future worth living (Oldies Station) and the people worth fighting for (ATROFD), all before it comes to a head in Paladin Strait.

This is the double album, it’s a sequel well and truly, each album will inform the other in some way.

and small side note, the autotune is sooo gd deliberate, it’s representative of the internal struggle too, the back and forth with himself about being seized or fighting back.

These guys are absolute artists and storytellers. I’m so glad we’re all alive for this shit.
