Bill Nace & Haley Fohr are working on a new album

Nice. Nace!

CdY released a new track late last month. No idea if it has to do with the new record.

Richard Dawson, Lana Del Ray, and Swans top my excitement/anticipation list.

assumptions:


- the Alan Sparhawk album he recorded with Trampled By Turtles
- Bell Witch - Future’s Shadow Part 2

Matador is releasing the new CDY album

New Swans?

They toured for a whole bunch of new material this year, and Gira's put out a live recording as a fundraiser to get the studio record done.

Great news! Thanks!
I just found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/indieheads/...ill_be_called/

There's reliable info that indicates that work has recently been finishing up on a new studio album, and Hahn even posted what looks to be a tracklist.

I missed this!

Gira often makes announcements that don't pan out exactly. ie After The Glowing Man we were going to see a different band, but didn't Leaving Meaning and The Beggar, as well as the following tours, have basically most of the old gang?

The King's Wool? :confused:

I'm trying to "get" this, but I confess to failing. (This place is always just a bit "too cool" for me.)

But now it will be called The Right Person Will Stay vice Lasso. And May 21st 2025....until that changes....which it will.....because Lana.

Fuckit.

Well fuck me!! Who knew?

(Aside: I went to a couple of music forums after I "quit" this place. But you couldn't say "fuck". In fact, I got banned from one place because I wrote "shyte" in a thread title. You cannot make this up.)

"Lana" is also slang for "money" in Mexico and other countries. But I don't know why this person chose that stage name. In fact, I couldn't recognize a song of hers out of a playlist even if all the other tracks were "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". And I do not want to know!


Fuckit.

Cool it, dude. It's just one gig for now. :)

ETA: Oh, shit, I just realized the date - ONE YEAR from now! So yeah, by then they could have the new album(s)... or not, because my bloody valentine.

My assumption is that this is to try and force himself into action and make sure that he gets something out before the tour. Like the Cure album that was definitely going to come out in 2022 (and was worth it in the end, by the way).

You do know this is Kevin Shields we're talking about, eh? ;)

At least when I came to them they had the third record!

Lol. Hey Kevin - 2013 was 11 years ago.

You ignore her cinematic music at your peril.

(You guys should make the SYG Master List For Great Artists That Are Not Cool Around Here. Lightfoot, Primal Scream, Lana...etc.)

There would never be consensus for such a thing. Which is good.

Well, I'm pretty sure that I would like everything on that list. 😂

Is it an age thing? I'm 63. Am I the only old c*nt here?

It's ok.I knew you'd do that punk rocker!!!

Would it surprise you if, in addition to liking Primal, Lana and Lightfoot, etc, I also love my huge box sets of Merzbow, Crass, and Gerogerigegege?

Anyway.

New Richard Dawson:

According to this interview, Mary Halvorson's Amaryllis just finished recording their third album!

Physical release for Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee in Feb, hence this thread, for this album that I cannot fucking get enough of after discovering it today.

Beat me to it because I completely forgot about it
