Plaid: Announcing a new album 'Reachy Prints', listen to 'Hawkmoth' ahead of release in May

I'm really glad they decided to release 40 minutes of filler-free music. Makes for a more cohesive album. There's not a track on here I'm not digging.

How dare you mock us with your ability to obtain music before everybody else you worm.

heh, It'll be well worth the wait.

I'm getting good vibes from what i have heard. Thether is old fashioned plaid awesomeness as well, imo.

This is gonna be good!

anyone know if there's an exclusive track on the japan release?

Just bought the 24bit wav of this...sounds great!

new Interview up on VICE

Interesting how Ed reports that someone at Warp views the label as a kind of filter: someone on here was recently giving the same analogy. It's a picture of the function of record labels that I've found intuitive (long before that discussion here), so it's not too surprising that they would mention that.

Previews sound awesome.

It's not the whole album, Only the two tracks already released.

There are no previews yet. Too early.

There were briefly previews on Bleep for all of the tracks. I did try the download link, but it didn't work at the time. Interestingly, the track numbers in the filenames in the new download have been updated to reflect their positions on the album.

Yeah I think they fucked up a bit and had previews up/had a half working full album download link going... fuckin bleep...

i second that, Away is awesomeness!

Absolutely love it. This might be the most ambient Plaid album yet...none of those dark moments that would rear up during those joyful stretches in previous albums.

Sounds like a companion piece to Lone's Galaxy Garden or Spanners.

couldn,t wait,gotta say, this album is awesome!! vinyl ordered!

tether

Nafovanny is one of the best things i've heard them produce in years, pure bliss

The full album stream is on Clash magazine's smartphone/tablet app! >> http://www.clashmusic.com/app

That's sound promising, actually I was having a bliss walking down the street, with my headphones on listening to Hawkmoth

This is one of those days where I wish I had a smartphone... :c

Anyone else think this was rendered real time (from the official Plaid youtube channel) -

I notice that around 2:45 when the half-tone dots get real small and end up looking like static that the frame rate of the thing really drops.

EDIT: I'm guessing so, I'm running the site on my ~£4k work machine and the frame rate is completely smooth. Seems surprising they'd render it on a slow machine
