awesome.

radarmaker · 09.09.2008, 02:17 PM

Can't believe no-one's mentioned the Gerard Cosloy connection yet - it's kinda fitting that they've gone full-circle after their somewhat acrimonious departure from Homestead.

akprodr · 09.09.2008, 02:32 PM

Does this mean Madonna covers? They haven't done one for ages!

i was gonna earlier, but i was gonna go into their past and how sy moved on and how sore cosloy was about it but didn't want to go into it

Everyneurotic · 09.09.2008, 02:37 PM

gerard probably is grateful about a second chance.

pantophobia · 09.09.2008, 02:39 PM

true, and i guess time heals old wounds

they cropped steve "the man" shelley outta that picture! stupid RS.

dazedcola · 09.09.2008, 04:34 PM

this is great news.Matador will treat SY well and give them a lot more free reign than any major label would.

btw - it is also logical to suppose that in these times of uncertainty a band like SY would like to see how the label treats their first output before signing extensive deals...

nancykitten · 09.09.2008, 04:52 PM

Nice. Lucky Matador.

GrungeMonkey · 09.09.2008, 05:37 PM

Its no real surprise. But as one of the big indies, its the kind of label SY should be on, I guess. Cant wait to hear it!

He said that? Dead right - "Incinerate" definitely sounds like a heavenly cross between Television and The Who. MAN, I gotta play that one right now...

deflinus · 09.09.2008, 07:25 PM

great news. i kinda figured they'd go for a one album deal. i dont think they're going to sign up for 4 record deal considering that they ARE pretty old.

the new album is going to be just what i need

viewtiful_alan · 09.09.2008, 07:26 PM

I just hope this wont be followed by some sort of 'final album' announcement...

PEOPLE, nooo... They got YEARS of rock & roll ahead of 'em!

viewtiful_alan · 09.09.2008, 08:03 PM

We can only hope so..

whorefrost · 09.10.2008, 01:43 AM

I think Murray Street sounds more like Television

Moshe · 09.10.2008, 01:50 AM

Can you tell me why you all so happy? Do you think that Matador will make the songs sound better?

atsonicpark · 09.10.2008, 01:51 AM

hahaha.

MOSHE WINS.

Personally, I dislike most bands on Matador. They're the most popular independant label besides maybe Sub Pop, right? So, this isn't a big surprise. And it's not going to effect anything either way besides having the ugly-ass Matador logo on the back of their CD art.
