Peter Hoskins of Sky News twitter (??!)
Peter Hoskins Peter Hoskins @PeterHoskinsSkySources tell me CD version of new #MBV album is ready but agree has to be a download launch if to happen in 2-3 days as suggested by Shields
Peter Hoskins Peter Hoskins @PeterHoskinsSkyMost interesting thing I now know about new #MBV album is vinyl version is good to go, which bodes very well for full release in 2-3 days
Peter Hoskins Peter Hoskins @PeterHoskinsSkyInteresting chat with people working on post-production of new #MBV album - No surprise that Kevin Shields is very exacting about mastering

yeah it's kinda weird to know what "good to go" means re: vinyl cause it either means SECRETLY PRESSED IN HUGE NUMBERS or else theoretically can be reproduced using melted plastic
― rockism against racism (schlump), Monday, 28 January 2013 01:09 (eleven years ago) link
is it rly that hard to press large quantities of something w/o word getting out? Do the ppl who work at the vinyl pressing plants give that much of a shit abt mbv?

almost pooped from the very real hilarity of this
i dig this new song, if it isn't a little flat. it mostly feels like the third, cast-off piece to what otherwise would've been the trilogy of repeat-based synth-driven songs "when you sleep" and "i only said"

The sound was pretty terrible last night. They got it right in the end but I was pretty much exhausted by volume to get too into it. I took "2-3 days" to be a joke. Seems to be Shields's stock answer these days. New LP after 20 years? Oh yeah, tomorrow mate.

One impression I got was how miserable 90% of the audience looked. I don't think I've been to a large gig for about four years (I prefer going to small gigs and clubs), but most people just seemed to be standing motionless with a blank expression - are they all like this these days, or is it just an MBV crowd.

Either he's a masochst or shields knows the overwhelming power of his ability to drive indie nerds fires alight with no more than a few syllables, utterances. Sometimes I imagine he totally regrets that single and only instance in which he promised there might be a new album.

Anyone have a PR contact for this?
Not for me but an actual music critic on my FB feed asked.

"He lost the plot completely. Everybody became the enemy. He lost his friends and he lost the band. He just locked himself away in his big house. Then, finally, nobody wanted to get in. I went to the house once with Bobby [Gillespie] and there were chinchillas, these weird little rat animals, in cages, about 20 of them, all over the room, with barbed wire everywhere. It was definitely meltdown."

Definitely an EP out this year, because that'll be finished within a month. The album I can't really say, because one thing I've learnt is that what I think seems to bear little resemblance to reality.
