The Avalanches

yes what the public wants is more than a decade between records

The public wants a goddamn album is what it wants

Sadly the public doesn't really care any more and mostly can't remember who these guys are.

was chatting with a friend of one of the band members last night and had to ask the question. was told (paraphrasing here) that the record has been completed for fucking ages and it was being held up by the other member having panic attax about it not being good enough to release. grain of salt etc

On the other hand if only this had happened to the Aeroplane album...

I don't even care if they don't change or evolve what they did, I just would like another Avalanches album.

i think in australia the public definitely remembers/cares who they are

Easy -- gearing up for the 10th anniversary 2CD edition.

kevin shields is going to remaster it when he's done with 'screamadelica'

but before he gets cracking on that loveless remaster....

This album will be released on the same day as Detox

I bet China will have a democracy before we see this, amirite?

I think the public only ever knew about "Frontier Psychiatrist" anyway.

Me = The Public. I want a bloody album.

Just think, when the album came out John Howard was only four years in office.

"In the Year Two Thousaaaaaand"

They're just trying to outdo Bark Psychosis.

whoa since when were flickr links garbled

since they had an '@' in them

#3 on Sterogum's most anticipated albums of 2011

so the last album came out *ten years ago* this month in the UK.

I see they're playing some festival at Sydney Opera House in May. A sliver of hope for a new album maybe?

they're DJing

I'll be happier if they never release anything else.

I'll be happier if they go back to the 97-99 lineup and start playing live again

I'd be happier if they'd been allowed to release the "journey" album they finished in 2006

"allowed"?

"allowed"?

There was a royalties/artists permissions issue I think

Next question. What's a "journey" album?

There was a royalties/artists permissions issue I think

no, the label rejected it. the band said it was more of a "musical journey" and they were sent back to come up with a "party record" instead.

ah anyway I've bored about this before:

The Avalanches

Man, that's pretty infuriating

"Before I hang up, I have one more question: where the hell is that Avalanches album at, please? Pav laughs again – he’s used to this one. “Well, they’re going to be having a finished-in-the-studio party with us in May, so I’d say it’s going to be some time this year. I’ve heard it from one end to the other.” …And? “You’re asking the wrong person. I think they’re the most creative people this country has ever seen.”"

album is gonna suck giraffe balls

Internet jadedness doesn't make you cool. I still have hope.

They'd make an amazing Balearic/cosmic disco album...

Why thank you, Robin.

hahah uh wut??

think you might wanna make another assessment there buddy

it's the definition of sadness and futility that I have this thread bookmarked. Everytime it bumps, disappointment.

ten years ago! are these guys just massive stoners?

clearly, they are assholes

They should've just gotten 9-5 jobs years ago and released the sample-packed album for free like Girl Talk does. I'm sure the whole delay hasn't been because of sample clearances, but it was part of it. (The rest of it is that they're obsessive perfectionists.)

also: jerks

I think they’re the most creative people this country has ever seen.
"creative", right.

They should've just gotten 9-5 jobs years ago

didn't they?

no way you can do what girl talk does and have a 9-5

yeah presumably they all couldn't live off the sales of a not-quite-mainstream-popular album for 11 years

girl talk had a 9-5 until sometime after night ripper

yeah presumably they all couldn't live off the sales of a not-quite-mainstream-popular album for 11 years

especially considering five members of the post-SILY band have been gone for most of those 11 years

Tony was the only non-Bobbydazzler still with them last time I saw them DJ, but that was ...over five years ago (!) and I think it might have been official that even he wasn't actually involved anymore by then
