The Avalanches

I think that's been there for two years

It has, but in November it was changed to "putting the finishing finishing touches on album 2"

Every time this thred is revived I get a pang of hope :\

new Avalanches will probably be like a dissapoint like Shadow's Private Press. (which, after the Outsider, turned out to be pretty decent after all)

i'd like it to sound like 'My Girls' (but with singing more like Linda Lewis/Debbie Newman), Mike Westbrook's 'Song Of Spring' and Aeroplane remixed by cats and the ghost of Dilla

lol

xpost, have you heard of Bullion??

Also, came to post that their myspace status now says "The Avalanches ...are clearing samples."

Hmm. Good sign, I suppose. But that could take ages tho, right?

yeah + what if they can't get clearance for 10% of the samples (which is like 1000 samples in their case) they will need 5 years to find similar clearables ones. :/ ;)

wtf at them just clearing samples now

This set looks OLD.

See here:

"At Home 7-11-01"

GREAT mix though.

they've got a couple newer mixes on their site, don't they?

sorry everybody :(

It's a good fyi anyway. Anyone who hasn't heard that mix should enjoy it right away!

no, telling people an eight-year-old set that you could probably still download on BiS until last week came out on a bootleg CD a year ago is not very good ify. SB him Granny Dainger!

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.
