Any news on a new Cannibal Ox album?

Also, since it has been mentioned: the new Aes is SICK BEYOND BELIEF. "11:35" w/Mr. Lif is storytelling par excellence, and I flipped when he namedropped Heavy Metal Parking Lot on "Frijoles". I'd elaborate but this is a Can Ox thread. ("they're not breaking up. That's just a rumor." quoth an El-P [?] answering machine message between trax on Bazooka Tooth)

But I do know that NASA produced at least one track for Vast's solo album, and it's great. Beyon d that, I wouldn't hold my breath.

and yes I second Bazooka Tooth, it's great, especially "We're Famous" which is El's best verse since "Fire In Which You Burn." And the beat is ridiculous.

i talked to the guy who writes the news and he more or less maintained that they DID have a falling out with def jux but that it was v. quickly patched up after people started going apeshit at the news of a can/ox def jux split

with a pinch of salt etc

Rob Swift being on the new Can Ox track gives El-P and MOP many fewer steps of separation. I DEMAND "ANTE UP '03: ROBOT VIOLENCE, BABY" RIGHT NOW

the can ox album has held up remarkably well

Vast Aire's verses on "Iron Galaxy" and "Pigeon" (bookending the album, oddly) still completely shred me. Where did he get that cadence? He's like a trombone or something.

Kickstarted

are these the dudes who got sonned by a wite kid after a aol beef?

Not getting my hopes up here. Cold Vein is one of myy favourite albums ever but everything I've heard from them since then has been a bit average. Let's hope they prove me wrong shall we

I know they mentioned needing money for videos, tour support, etc, but $30,000 seems like a pretty ambitious goal. Not saying they won't make it, but, err...they did The Cold Vein for far, far less than that.

sounds like they're trying to finance a roster of artists as well

and no El-P, right?

Pretty sure that relationship soured big time.

no El-P probably kills 80% of my interest in this, sorry CanOx

Also one of my favorite hip-hop records ever, but I'm not expecting much from this. Kind of wish they weren't doing it.

Even if there's no El-P, they should at least mention who is producing the album, but these seems to be no info on that. I sent a message to them via Kickstarter asking about the producer(s), let's see if there's an answer.

Vast Aire explained (in 2009):

WHAT WENT DOWN WITH CAN OX’S 2ND RECORD?

To be real, we started that project, but vordul dropped the ball on that, vordul became very distant and was drunk and coked up all the time, he became this way after his jaw was broken in a bar fight that was ment for el-p. long story short, that helped wake up vorduls “dark side” and we only did like 5 songs. El-p got mad at me as if i should have been vordul’s baby sitter! vordul is a grown man, he made his choices, dont get mad at me!

god Will High had that much effect?

i can believe that story. but, at the same time, it's not like vast ended up doing anything incredible after cold vein himself. i think that together they could make something listenable though, even without el-p. although i'm certainly not expecting another cold vein.

8 days to go and they've reached nearly 19% of their goal

FAQ

WHAT HAPPENS IF GOAL IS NOT REACHED?
The project must reach it's goal in order for the packages to follow through. In the event that we dont reach out 30,000 goal, we IGC wanted ALL BACKERS TO RE-BACK us at end of the month when we restart the KICKSTARTER. The reality is if we dont reach our goal none of the money will be available to label.

At that point...we will have an idea of all THE REAL backers and will be able to reset the kickstarter with a number we are sure of. So please push this out and lets reach our goal. if not we shall try again! IF AT FIRST YOU DONT SUCCEED...TRY TRY AGAIN!
