Ha ha, even though I was referencing his rhetoric (at the time) rather than his performance, my jokey Dubya comparison still looks bizarre now.

So has anyone else heard that the album's supposedly coming out in July, as was announced on JJJ recently?
I'd like to believe it but July's not that far away and surely we'd have heard something official by now if it was coming out. Unless it's going to be one of those super fast releases (oh, the irony) a la Radiohead and The Raconteurs

Maybe the next album is just a special edition of Since I Left You.

the label announced in December it was finished and turned in, is that not official enough?

It has, but in November it was changed to "putting the finishing finishing touches on album 2"

new Avalanches will probably be like a dissapoint like Shadow's Private Press. (which, after the Outsider, turned out to be pretty decent after all)
― Ludo, Thursday, 19 March 2009 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link
i'd like it to sound like 'My Girls' (but with singing more like Linda Lewis/Debbie Newman), Mike Westbrook's 'Song Of Spring' and Aeroplane remixed by cats and the ghost of Dilla

Also, came to post that their myspace status now says "The Avalanches ...are clearing samples."
Hmm. Good sign, I suppose. But that could take ages tho, right?
― homage is parody gone sour (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 May 2009 19:05 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah + what if they can't get clearance for 10% of the samples (which is like 1000 samples in their case) they will need 5 years to find similar clearables ones. :/ ;)
― Ludo, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 19:18 (fifteen years ago) link

It's a good fyi anyway. Anyone who hasn't heard that mix should enjoy it right away!

no, telling people an eight-year-old set that you could probably still download on BiS until last week came out on a bootleg CD a year ago is not very good ify. SB him Granny Dainger!

Listened to the album all the way through twice on a 600 mile roadtrip to Devon this weekend, after not touching it in probably three years. Still completely awesome, although likely helped by the glorious sun and rolling hills/lanes/cliffs as scenery. I'd also forgotten just how effortless it sounds and how well it flows from start to finish.

There's a rumor that Ariel Pink recently recorded vocals for the new album.

the Avalanches' official forum admin posted "i hear ariel pink is recording some guest vocals for it and once those are done, the album will be finished (!)."
Which is the closest thing to an update in a while. They also changed their MySpace status from "...are clearing samples" to "since we left you." I like the fact that a band can make their MySpace status updates almost an event by doing nothing else (and only changing them once every 14 months or so).
