Yellows Swans have their final studio album coming out in the near future. Does anyone have any information on this release? I'm extremely excited about it and can barely find any information. Here's a lil bit from Pete on myspace...

 

[quote]yeah!  this is the biggie.  final studio album here..  six tracks..  it's on Type and is somewhat Type appropriate..  more ambient, more rhythmic, more 3-d, deeper textures.  I think this is the best record we've ever made.  should drop in Feb or March of 2010..[/quote]

is it still coming out feb/march?

YES.  I believe the "street date" is Feb. 23rd for both Vinyl and CD.

Looking forward to this thing coming out.  It should be noted that the Vinyl comes with a bonus CD and was cut by Rashad at D and M..  It sounds so fucking good.

I believe there's a recording from the album, from The Wire magazine, here:

the bonus CD has about 70 minutes of more musics, correct? is it live or more material that didn't make the cut for Going Places?

glad you're digging the track on The Wire's site..  I didn't know it was up there..

 

The bonus CD is four tracks..  two of which were the En/Of LP, that is still available but is $210 plus postage...  those tracks are longer versions of tracks from Going Places..  Each track is about 10-12 minutes longer.  One track is from the side of our split with Ex Cocaine..  and one is from a split that's still coming up on Black Horizons.  So..  nothing totally exclusive..  but, aside from the excoke track, not too easy to have..

John set me up with this while he was here last weekend. Best YS yet!!! SO DAMN GOOD!!! Should open the Swansounds up to a lot more ears, I reckon.

Thank you! Was thinking I'd have another big Boomkat bill this month if this didn't make it to FE.

I am really loving this record, easily my favorite YS release.

 

I have a quick question though, are tracks 1 and 3 on the 'Being There' mislabled?  Track 1 ("Foil") is obviously the full-length version of "Limited Space", while track 3 ("Public Space") is definitely the full-length version of "Foiled."  So it seems that the titles are mislabeled, or is this the correct, somewhat confusing, tracklisting?

Oops! Yeah.. Those should match up but I'd have to check the en/of record to really see where we fucked that up.. Doesn't really matter in the end.. Naming tracks is a really overrated process.. All of those tracks are live improvisations edited down...
