Max Tundra - Parallax Error Beheads You

just got this email:

After six years' worth of intensive, retina-reddening, banana- and tea-fuelled all-night studio bothering, prolonged by several generous chunks of task-avoidance owing to the general distracting/tiring nature of an enthusiastic life in a London full of cinema companions and friends with supreme cooking skills, Max Tundra's third album is finally ready. "Parallax Error Beheads You" will be released by Domino on 13th October this year.

Juana Molina + Max Tundra

^^^^ that would be great

w00t

i once chatted to ben at a gig. i kept on calling him max, do you think that is acceptable?

when i last saw Ben / Max (raving at the front at the Gasman album launch party!) he mentioned a Nottingham date, didnt see it on the list tho??

I'd love to get a Notts Max Tundra date in our diary, dont think I can afford Hot Chip's fee (or put up with the teenies that accompany them) tho...any thoughts anyone please email us info@thecentrifuge.co.uk

i've been listening to the leak all day, i like it.

sounds great so far (on track 5)

"which song" is jawdroppingly amazing

"orpahned" is autechre for kidz

fun stuff

eagerly grabbing now!!

hahahah track two has more ideas than most albums do!

and track 5 is like a robot with ADD raping my brain

broad grin central :D

oh god 'until we die' is the best track he's ever made. i literally just had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

glitch-AOR AM radio pop-rock, anyone?

edit:

<blink><marquee>

straight in near the top of best albums of the year.

this is a stunning piece of work.

third listen, i keep hearing new shit. like those prince+the revolution chords on which song.

</marquee></blink>

"Will Get Fooled Again", the first new Max Tundra single for some considerable time, will be released this Monday (29th September) on Domino, on limited edition 7" single and download. Pre-order your copy here and now:

...and check out the spectacular video here:

Talking of pre-ordering, not only can you pre-order the vinyl, CD and eventually the download of Max Tundra's forthcoming album "Parallax Error Beheads You" here:

 

http://dominorecordco.com/uk/albums/11-08-...or-beheads-you/

 

...but for the first time in Domino (and possibly world) history this album will be released as a tin of kosher chicken soup. As well as containing a hearty meal for one, the tin will come with a unique code, enabling the soup-purchaser to download DRM-free 320kps MP3s of not only "Parallax Error Beheads You", but also the hitherto-unreleased album "Best Friends" - an early-21st-Century compendium of reinterpretations by some of Max Tundra's friends of each track from "Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be". The extremely talented pals in question were unsigned at the time of recording, and their versions of these tunes are rather special, lending the whole compilation a very different atmosphere to the original record. "Best Friends" has been waiting for a suitable moment to emerge, and this soupy edition is currently the only format for these tasty cover versions. Pre-order yours here:

Hear Max Tundra and his sister Becky play music from their childhood and beyond, in an atmosphere of conviviality and squabbling.

This album is super cool. I feel like I'm going to be able to listen to this so many times and still hear new stuff and get into it in new ways.

Word up Max.

my can of soup arrived today, but the code for the downloads didn't work, so I sent a message to customer service. also, the soup is very high in sodium.

interview on pitchfork:

he's got the same personality as his records...so amusing

I enjoyed that, thanks for posting it.

I agree it's not a good party album, way too busy. I wish it were though! I love listening to it and catch new things in it every time. Great album, one of my favorites this year, although I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. I really want to put one of the tracks on my 'Best of 2008' mix but I can't find one accessible enough (the rest of the music is largely party music).
