Cool, I need to check that out. There is (allegedly) also a new Desire album coming out in early May. The singles I've heard so far are alright--competent renditions of the IDIB aesthetic but not too exciting. That's pretty much how I've felt about most of the JJ-produced material after After Dark 2 (though I love Chromatics' "Just Like You").

Since I've given up hope on ever hearing Glass Candy's Body Work the one IDIB thing I'm (tentatively) excited about is a Farah full-length, which seems like it might actually happen in the near future, but who knows. I love everything she's ever put out.

quite liked telling me lies

It is with immense pleasure & excitement that we share After Dark 4 with you this Friday.

Is anyone going to the IDIB showcase in Oakland on Thursday?

The Club Intl song is my favorite thing in here.

Good comp

the website really does not make it easy to find new albums !
the causeway album sounds totally my thing.
only heard about it via a dig around on discogs.
no mention of it via the 'mp3' page.
same re several other new album digital releases.
that said, i shouldn't complain given how much a digital album costs.

Adam Miller from the Chromatics put out a nice album of dreamy slow guitar stuff:

The Causeway album is really good. I think there will be a vinyl release next Spring. Think a few IDIB vinyl releases have been caught up with pressing delays.
