NEW ALBUM -

 

exploration into sampled inner space continues, and is sounding damn exciting from all reports. the band would like to thank everyone for their patience and ongoing support. "sorry its not done sooner but theres no point in putting out an insane half finished mess" is the general feeling in the camp. recording is proceeding much quicker than with the first album believe it or not - its just that no one was waiting on that one.

 

AVALANCHES IN ROCK SHOCK -

 

the guys have also been busy re - editing most of bon jovis seminal 'slippery when wet' album (excluding wanted dead or alive and without love which are shit) and will be airing these once in a lifetime versions during their melb and sydney laneway dj sets - so get down there for a once only 80's rock extravaganza.

 

FRANKIE GOES TO TEMPLESTOWE -

 

in other news tony has a fine new haircut, he did it himself, its rad crooked multiplied by elf. get down to the laneway shows to check it out. and wolfmother and franz remixes continue with aplomb.

 

S.B.S.W FIASCO -

 

the band were as surprised as anyone when they saw their name on the lineup. sorry to all those stateside who got their hopes up - especially freddy who lost his nut.

 

So, apparently, they're too busy doing Bon Jovi edits.

 

Wikipedia says there has been lineup turnover.

 

and...

 

"The Avalanches at present are Diblasi, Chater and Seltmann. Their as-yet unreleased second started off as a project full of world music and ambience. The band stated in 2005 that it was now turning back to more of a party atmosphere for the record.

 

Mike Patton, during his hosting segment on MTV2, claimed that the band will on the next Peeping Tom album. [2]."

Post subject: a chinese new year message from the avalanches

-----------------------

abracadabra!

 

happy new year yall. we've made a heap of mixes and stuff available while we finish the record. they wont give you a hint of the new albums magical sound unfortunately, but they will keep you pilgrims well nourished until the next harvest.

 

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.

 

so big up to clint for all his work in making the downloads available for everyone to enjoy, and have a great oh seven.

 

Here's the mix: BRAINS TEAZER. Pretty fun, but like they said...not indicative of the new record, but more likely of their DJ sets they do.
