After shows in New Zealand and Australia' date=' The Mars Volta toured a few West Coast venues as the headliner, then entered the studio to record the fourth LP entitled The Bedlam in Goliath.[6'] The album is currently being finished in New York and it is tentatively scheduled for release in late August or early September.
new mars volta is always good news! i'm surprised they already have a new album ready
They always work fast. Deloused was released in summer 2003, Frances was released just over a year and a half later in February 2005 (though it was planned for December 04 and I think it leaked then too), and Amputechture was summer 2006. Plus in between every album Omar's released a solo record. He usually says that when a new Mars Volta record is released, the next is often mostly or completely written anyway.Oh awesome. I didn't realise they had any new albums coming.
In other news (not sure how new this is to anyone except me), Animal Collective fans will be pleased to be able to watch the video for the new song Fireworks from their upcoming Strawberry Jam album can be viewed here: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/forkcast/44017-animal-collective-fireworks-video (thankyou Pitchfork :happy:). It sounds of a similar vein to the other 2 new songs I've heard through live performances - perhaps less like a weird psychedelic folk/pop song with electronic flourishes, but more like a weird psychedelic electronic band with pop flourishes. Maybe. All 3 new songs certainly have more of a distinct groove to older Animal Collective, I think. Their sense of melody is still there though. I like it lots. And the single (not Fireworks...a song called Peacebone which is one of the new songs I've heard before) is released on August 13th, which is the day after my birthday, just in case anyone was wondering what they could get me for a late birthday present (I'm joking I actually want one of these shirts: http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/28248/currentpinecone.png).
And that's my hijacking of the news for today.
So last week on 2007 we had Nick Findlay phoning in from London to gloat about catching French electro eccentrics Daft Punk on stage at the Wireless Festival.So yeah if Daft Punk come here that'd be really cool. I'm also interested in any new albums they might make.
"It was over the top but I would have paid any money to see them again and again and again. It was really great coz they went off for their encore and the entire stage was black and then boom their robot suits lit up and the crowd just... oh, I'm speechless Richard."
This week we've been told by reliable sources to be optimistic that we'll get a visit from the duo ourselves this year. In fact there's a rumour that they've scheduled a date in Melbourne for late December.
Nick reckons during the set he saw the band also hinted there's a new album on the way. We'll confirm details asap.

You are probably going to wait but I'll get it now since I wouldn't buy it anyway and I won't be here when it's released.

The new 3 album comes out on July 24th. Thats a great day. yes indeed.This already leaked too, it's good but I prefer Wake Pig at the moment.

I don't know how many care about this but it seems like Anathema are opening for Porcupine Tree in their upcoming UK tour. There hasn't been any announcement yet but Anathema will be opening in the two announced concerts so far so I assume they'll open for all of them in UK.
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN has teamed with longtime engineer Steve Evetts at Omen Room Studios in Los Angeles' date=' California to begin tracking songs. The band will remain in L.A. through July to complete work on the record. The drum tracks were recorded at Sonikwire Studios by Gil Sharone (STOLEN BABIES, PUSCIFER). A fall release via Relapse Records is expected.[/quote']
I had assumed the new Dillinger would be released in 2008, but it looks like they've made more progess on it than I thought!
An interesting thing I learned from triple j's interview with Josh Homme: it's pronounced "Hommy" (like "Tommy"), not "Homm".
Really? That just fucks up my whole world. In interviews I'm sure people have always pronounced it "Homm".Yeah I know. It was a big HEY WHAT. But they've even played that little part of the interview a few times, and he confirms it. I think it was just going to be too much of a hassle to correct everyone, so it was left to be asked about.
the rammstein signer quitwww.herzeleid.com says they are working on a new album. Where did you hear this?
Many sites are reporting that Till will leave the band after the next studio album (such as Blabbermouth.net). They claim he is leaving due to problems in the band and would like to start a solo carrier or a new project. En Esch of KMFDM and Slick Idiot fame would replace him. I normally do not report on rumors, but this one seems to be popping up everywhere. To calm the nerves of upset fans: At the moment, there is no proof of this. I think it is safe to assume that if the official site doesn't confirm this within the next few days, it was simply made up. However, if you have any more information on this, please share.It's just a rumor but if he did it would be after this album.

anathema is planning to play alot of new material on tour with porcupine tree throughout europe in the autumn..
porcupine tree have kindly asked anathema to support them on their full european tour in the autumn.. this tour is still in the planning stage and will cover alot of territories.
anathema have decided that - rather than rushing into the studio to finish the album in time for the tour, (and not being able to work with the producer we would like) - it will actually benefit the band and the new album to play the new songs live before recording them.
so you can expect to hear songs like 'angels walk among us' 'paradigm shift' 'hindsight' 'get off, get out' 'lightning song' 'one day' 'summernight horizon' 'further' 'a simple mistake' and others on the tour with PT..
our new american manager is helping to put everything in place for us to record and release this ambitious music. he is negotiating deals in the USA and advising us on our best way to go. the response from record companies has been very positive.
we intend to record approximately 85 minutes of music for this album. at least 14 songs. the idea AT THE MOMENT is to release a double album called simply..
'paradigm shift'
again this not not confirmed, PLANS CAN CHANGE.
a double album WILL NOT mean it will be a huge, overbearing, very long album...
it may only be two groups of seven songs.. split over two CD's in order to be easily digested by the listener. it definately will not be a self indulgent album. it definately is not a 'concept album'.
themes of life, healing and unity will run through some of the songs...
the recent shows we have played this year have been great. we had some great nights, some great audiences and great laughs. thanks for everyone who helped make it happen. special thanks must go out to Derek and Alx at the agency, Mick Reed, Milly Evans, Raymond, Ian, Loz, Ozzy and Hans for making it all work.
we have loved playing. we look forward very much to introducing this intense, passionate new music to the public on tour with porcupine tree. we then look forward to recording what i personally think will be a wonderful record after the tour. it is the first album we have made that will be truly complete. it will change lives. hopefully beginning with ours.
wishing you all the best
danny.
PS: a full tour of TURKEY has been confirmed for october. dates will be online very soon..
Porcupine Tree release a new EP in September called "Nil Recurring". It will feature 4 tracks (just under 30 minutes of music) that were written during the Fear of a Blank Planet sessions, including the title track featuring Robert Fripp on guitar, and "Cheating the Polygraph", which was premiered on the 2006 tour, but subsequently left off the Fear of a Blank Planet album.
Full track listing is:
1. Nil Recurring (6.08)
2. Normal (7.07)
3. Cheating the Polygraph (7.06)
4. What Happens Now? (8.23)
Surround sound mixes of the new EP tracks will be included on the definitive Fear of a Blank Planet 5.1 DVDA edition. This DVDA will also include a special Fear of a Blank Planet introduction short film made by Lasse Hoile, and the video for the title track.
Both the Nil Recurring and Fear of a Blank Planet DVDA will be officially released on 25th September, but the PT Store will be taking pre-orders soon.
If anyone cares, this is something to get extremely excited about:You do know the new Múm album has already leaked, right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhS-csU0k1U
Puscifer Album "V for Vagina" definite release date, Oct 30!!!
You do know the new Múm album has already leaked, right?Holy shit know...thanks for this!
The new Oceansize album: "Frames" will be released oct 1
New Porcupine Tree EP, eh? Well, I'll listen to it of course, but if it consists of leftovers from Fear of a Blank Planet I don't want to get my hopes up. -_-In fact, it sounds clearly different from FoaBP and their other material too, so I'm not sure if you'll like it or not. FoaBP is probably my favorite PT album but I'm still happy that the EP seems to sound so different because one of the main reasons I like PT is their diversity.
Elliott Smith tribute wall defaced (http://www.rockinsider.com/2007/08/things-that-make-me-very-upset.html)I'm not a big Elliot Smith fan like a lot of people here, but that's kind of disgusting. I hope they can remove the graffiti without damaging what's underneath.
I've already posted this link in my LJ and in What's On Your Mind? but there are probably people who won't see it there. Plus a lot of GW likes Elliott.
This has made me so sad!
