I don't mean to look a gift horse in the mouth because I am loving what we've been hearing from the twentytwentytwo tour, and yet... Bull Wallet, Kiosk, ... what lies on the other side of SIGN and PLUS, if anything? I'm not so sure another album, EP, or single, honestly. After naming a bonus track "key osc" after Kiosk, and more recently the twin fourteenth albums and their names being both a reference to signed number representations, definitively lampshading our Ae-fan joke "sean pls", and a recent comment Sean made in the AMA, I'm inclined to think there will not be any such thing, at least not any time soon. (I know, sort of a bummer and ridiculous to start this thread with such a nonstarter. My bad. The only thing I feel even close to certain of in this regard, is that if there is to be a new release that it seems fairly unlikely to have an official hard copy. After all, the pressings of NTS Sessions were limited editions and Ae were among the earliest groups (along with Radiohead's In Rainbows) to state the digital files of their album (remember when Quaristice came out almost 15 years ago now?) was the definitive version? If they do put out a new album, if they do change their sound yet again, it seems highly doubtful to me that they will give up Max/MSP and/or other sorts of generative approaches as well as no longer doing any granular synthesis. But only time will tell. Take your time if you are, Sean and Rob, always sounds good, never sounds rushed.
