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

[triachus]

!!!

 

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:

 

1. MLADIC

2. THEIR HELICOPTERS' SING

3. WE DRIFT LIKE WORRIED FIRE

4. STRUNG LIKE LIGHTS AT THEE PRINTEMPS ERABLE

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.

[Guest Jimmy McMessageboard]

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

[Bob Dylan]

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).

[logakght]

... cool

[jhonny]

Agree about Albini and Yanqui

[EdamAnchorman]

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

[Guest Ron Manager]

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.

[Guest Jimmy McMessageboard]

uxo sounded great to me

[kaini]

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

[Guest umop_apisdn]

jesus fuck!

 

$16 for shipping the vinyl?

[kaini]

'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.

[gl0tch]

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:

[Guest Hanratty]

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

[logakght]

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

[kaini]

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.

[vamos scorcho]

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.

[Guest W32MyDoom]

ITS SO GOOD.

[Guest AcrossCanyons]

uxo sounded great to me

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