So this is album number 14? (au14)

esc desc lol

 

Always thought this was AE14:

The Wonky cover was my first thought on seeing this. Have to say I'm not very fond of it, although it's nice having colours back again.

It's a weird title though, right? Untilted, Quaristice, Oversteps, Exai, elseq... Sign. Maybe the green one will be called Waiv. 

Wow, what a sign! Hey, they need to title that other album for "symptom" 

i want a sign language version of this

Pre-ordered CD

Expand  

nah, exai = 11
elseq = 12
nts = 13
sign = 14

the 14 on the cover just means 1 through 4

 I'm getting Arrival vibes, I think they are going to try and teach the world a new language to save ourselves.

now ae_store is working

Yeah, not as evocative or mysterious as usual, one syllable titles don't suit Ae.

Can't wait for the fake pre-release "rip"!

What? No 16 hours album?

I mean yeah, obviously, but it always struck me as Siobhan and Richard's style of humour to put AE14 as a hidden in plain sight thing. Which makes AE_LIVE 12.

anyone think we get an EP in february/march?

Ordered vinyl and CD.  Lush track lengths, focused business.

Quite like the artwork. 

Lush, if you will.

Awesome news!! I know lots of people excited for a normal length album but i love the longer form Ae, kinda worried that am going to listen to this wishing every track was 20 mins long!   

I quite like the cover art, but not that keen on the title... but who cares, new Autechre!! Can't wait to hear it
