Max Tundra poos FRAGRANT SPRING RAINSTORMS

'"Parallax Error Beheads You" will be released by Domino on 13th October this year,' says the email update.

Real title? No idea. Made me laugh though. Well, smirk in an office-inappropriate sort of way. Excited by the prospect of finally having new Max Tundra in my life!

http://www.myspace.com/maxtundra - new song "A Truce" is lovely.

ha nothing else sounds like max tundra, maybe "one size fits all" zappa--

"a truce" is great

Note: "A Truce" isn't a "new song," really -- it's from that comp of musicians doing David Shrigley items, not a dribble from new-album stuff.

It is pretty great, though, yes.

A song that kinda reminds me of Max Tundra...

Elma Mayer 'My First Kazoo' from the 1985 comp 'a beginner's guide to COMA'

This was posted on Mutant Sounds, but there's still cheap (and sealed!) copies available for just $10 on the Rotary Totem website.

Note: "A Truce" isn't a "new song," really

Oh. Well. I liked it anyway!

this is really good.

title not as good though

Wow, it's even better than what I expected it to be !!!
Will be on my 2008 top 10 for sure.

fun fun fun

i can't make out what's on the cover. are those thumb tacks?
ladies shoe heels?

"which song" is so great

"which song" is so great

It sounds like the song Michael Jackson will never again make.

or ever did make.

Looks like he's one-upping Of Montreal: instead of lamps or t-shirts or whatever, you can buy his new album as soup. Kosher chicken soup, to be specific. And it apparently comes with an extra limited edition download album, of covers of songs from his first LP.

SO GOOD.

I really need to order this, shit.

Yeah, me too! I really wanted the bonus disc that came with the soup can edition but then I realised it only came with a download voucher and no actual CD, and I didn't want to pay twice for the album when I have no idea what you're supposed to do with a limited edition soup can anyway. (Eat it and throw it out? Eat it, wash and treasure the can? Let it moulder unopened on yr shelves forever in the name of ROCK?)

Anyway, yeah, so good. Though I need to look at my setup as it's the most trebly (or upper-midsy) album ever on my system but I'm assured there is actually a healthy dose of bass which I'm not hearing.

Though I kind of think I may not be in the same place as Mr Tundra is heading for, because much as I love the new coherent songy nature of the album, my favourite is the track which starts as 3 minutes of oldschool Tundra instrumental business before getting all Rundgren (I hear "A Wizard, A True Star" a lot on here - just me?) on us. Having said that, as an album I think it's his most successful yet.

NB a passing spacecadet posts guaranteed to contain no soup, no bass and no new coherent nature.

Got my tin can yesterday...not gonna open it as I make the Best Chicken Soup in London(Carcass not whole fowl piece)...Listened twice already...Definitely a grower...Sounds more "Todd" than "Wizard" to me...Does sound incredibly tinny (no pun intended) though...Have'nt listened to covers album yet but will in near future...Just checked his playlists on Resonance FM...great taste in music...

Do not like.

This has really been growing on me. I like how the last few seconds of the album remind me of the end of the Entertainment Tonight theme.

are you referring to MBGATE or the new one?
