I read a kind of weird article on the internet this evening, and it made me wonder if a new Avalanches album was ever going to come out.
Turns out things are looking good for 2007. As a “Chinese New Year’s Greeting” on the official forum reads:
its a really thrilling time for us right now as this record comes together, its so fuckin’ party you will die, much more hip hop than you might expect, and while there is still no accurate estimated time of arrival, were sure you’re gonna love it when it arrives.
much of last year was spent cutting up the spoken word/instructional records we need to tell the albums musical story, and we have some 40 odd songs we’re narrowing down and finishing. so its real, it exists, and you know we wouldn’t be serving anything up unless it was gonna give you that same special feeling that “since…” has. funnily enough its ended up sounding like the next logical step to since, we just had to go around in a big circle to get back to where we belong.
and one day when you least expect it you’ll wake up and the sample fairy will have left it under your pillow.
In the meantime, they’ve posted a couple of mixes:
Did I hear a sample from “Somebody Just Poop!” in that first mix? Do mine ears bewitch me with whispers of Xanadu?!?
