FUSE TV - Say Anything Album Stream: Read About Max Bemis' Kanye West Collaboration

Out of the wintry, proverbial blue on Wednesday night, Say Anything frontman/epicenter Max Bemis threw a new album online. Start streaming I Don't Think It Is above, then click to YouTube for a playlist that will take you through the whole thing. 

This is the act's seventh full-length and the follow-up to 2014's Hebrews, where every song was supported by a known quantity in the punk/hardcore/emo scene, including Tom DeLonge, Chris Conley and Mrs. Sherri DuPree-Bemis. 

"All I knew coming from Hebrews was that I wanted to try to create the Twisted Fantasy of Say Anything records (just shut up and let me say stuff like that)," Bemis says in a long note accompanying the album stream, referencing Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. There's more to it, too: An interview with Noisey reveals that Bemis actually got into the studio with Kanye, where they played music for each other and talked production advice. Bemis goes on:

"I’m still in touch, who knows what’ll come of [the studio meet-up]. It had such a huge impact on making me feel like the world is such a small place. ... It seems so lofty of a goal to be as creative as people like him or Kendrick. We can try to. I can try to. It’s not unachievable because these are just dudes.
