Apparently the other 2 new ones are drone tracks...

!!!

Happy.

I've always wanted a decent studio recording of those two tracks.

I also don't like the title tho. But I don't care. I'd still buy the album even if they named it "WOOT! DON'T LAG! DICKSWAG!"

tracklist hasn't been posted yet:

My favorite thing about this band is their album covers and the ambient sections between the guitar stuff. They nail the atmosphere, and have several classic albums.

I don't think they've released anything not classic

Yanqui UXO was so badly recorded it sucked all the soul out of the potential good material of that album (fuck you Steve Albini).

... cool

Agree about Albini and Yanqui

fuck, i had the vinyl in my cart and now they are suspending pre-orders. guess i'll just have to wait

Yeah, don't know how that's going to affect my Norman pre-order.

Also it should probably be emphasised that this isn't exactly a whole new album. As stated, it's 2 previously live-only tracks, and 2 'drone' tracks, which from the way they've been described definitely don't sound like they're going to be GY!BE-esque rockers...

Not going to listen to that.

Will buy.

Unless Albini is involved, in which case will not buy.

uxo sounded great to me

if you're worried about quality, it's apparently 320kbps

jesus fuck!

$16 for shipping the vinyl?

'their helicopters sing' reminds me of a dronier late-period talk talk, maybe a little of coil's 'the remote viewer' too.

this is really good.

This leaked. No big surprise. Apparently they are selling it on their tour. What IS a surprise is how people could fuck up the track list.

This youtube video above is completely different than the vinyl rip.

That being said, this:

the last album i listened to of their is Yanqui UXO. what have they released since then, besides this new one?

how I hate those samples of oldsters talking gibberish and shit and stuff... the music sounds great though, would buy

blaise bailey finnegan is maybe my favourite track of theirs, i love those samples.

absolutely nothing if you don't count thee silver mount zion/other side projects.

now that you say it, you really can sense Albini's malevolent, non artistic, stupid presence on yanqui. though some of his personal music has its own merit.

ITS SO GOOD.

yanqui is amazing, as is everything else they have released.
