I thought we'd agreed this guys........

bump

Wow wait - since I left you was 10 years ago? Omg I'm old.

Listened to the album all the way through twice on a 600 mile roadtrip to Devon this weekend, after not touching it in probably three years. Still completely awesome, although likely helped by the glorious sun and rolling hills/lanes/cliffs as scenery. I'd also forgotten just how effortless it sounds and how well it flows from start to finish.

There's a rumor that Ariel Pink recently recorded vocals for the new album.

what new album?

the new ariel pink album

oh! sorry.

Actual LOL + sense of great relief at Ariel Pink not being on the Avalanches album = 2 for 1 Tuesday!

? i'm assuming that esoj's reply was a joke...

the Avalanches' official forum admin posted "i hear ariel pink is recording some guest vocals for it and once those are done, the album will be finished (!)."

Which is the closest thing to an update in a while. They also changed their MySpace status from "...are clearing samples" to "since we left you." I like the fact that a band can make their MySpace status updates almost an event by doing nothing else (and only changing them once every 14 months or so).

the 'are clearing samples' update happened over a year ago

MySpace subject lines: for those who cannot keep up with Twitter's pace.

(and only changing them once every 14 months or so).

poor rope got pwned :(

I was saying that the 'are clearing samples' update happened over a year ago. Apparently I somehow completely and totally failed to communicate this fact.

I understood it. just sayin pwned himself.

ha. woops

I'm so worried this is going to be meh.

Low expectation = possibility of being impressed!

(The mixes that have surfaced over the years have been quality, though, so I'm not too worried.)

Wish they'd just put out the "downbeat journey" album that the lable nixed three or four years ago, would have been right on the zeitgeist six months ago and they* could have carried on clearing samples for the "next" one

*though spurious chatter has "them" down to one dude now

I distinctly remember reading an interview with one of the Avalanches about the time Since I Left You came out that went something like this:

INTERVIEWER: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
AVALANCHES DUDE: Putting the finishing touches on our second album.

is this a twitter feed from 2001?

"stay tuned in the coming months"

what's the point of saying anything at all if you have to use 'months'

I miss Carmody.

The website's been revamped too so it does look like "something" is happening

Easy -- gearing up for the 10th anniversary 2CD edition.

Prepping for the 10 year deluxe reissue of the last one, imo.

Damn it! Ned beat me by mere seconds!

Hahah

I would love it (no really) if this was a joke twitter

was chatting with a friend of one of the band members last night and had to ask the question. was told (paraphrasing here) that the record has been completed for fucking ages and it was being held up by the other member having panic attax about it not being good enough to release. grain of salt etc

;_;

what?!? are you fucking kidding me?? will someone leak this shit already

Pass along the word that we, the listening public, will be very forgiving! We just want to hear it.

they already scrapped one entire finished album because they got convinced that it wasn't what the public wanted from them

aspie bastards

yes what the public wants is more than a decade between records

The public wants a goddamn album is what it wants

Sadly the public doesn't really care any more and mostly can't remember who these guys are.

On the other hand if only this had happened to the Aeroplane album...

I don't even care if they don't change or evolve what they did, I just would like another Avalanches album.

i think in australia the public definitely remembers/cares who they are

kevin shields is going to remaster it when he's done with 'screamadelica'

but before he gets cracking on that loveless remaster....

This album will be released on the same day as Detox
