^for anyone who didn't see it in that thread

new deakin track from the recent DJ sets

it's rly gud

Post **Posted:** Wed Aug 06, 2014 4:36 pm

very curious/excited to see how songs like good house and island chase have changed (if they're even still around) based on how much the DJ set song morphed from it's original style

Post **Posted:** Wed Aug 06, 2014 4:56 pm

Yeah I'm really excited to finally hear what the songs sound like at this point. Come on Josh, I know you got the goods, just let em fly!

dud · Post **Posted:** Wed Aug 06, 2014 6:39 pm

yeah i'd be really sad to see all those old tracks go without getting proper studio recordings of them but it'd also be cool to get an album of totally new material, so i could go either way i guess

Good House was my absolute favorite Deakin song and i'd be gutted if it doesn't get a proper recording on an album.

I had a dream last night that instead of releasing an album, Deakin put out a really awful 3D animated movie about an old guy, something like this (but even worse):

And I was watching it and I was like, "this isn't even enjoyably bad."

Sorry to bump the thread while not having anything worthwhile to say.

Haha! I had no idea anyone on here knew about this horrible animated "film". I've had those sorts of dreams before, where Noah/Dave/Brian/Josh are making music or playing live in some bizarre scenario.

This is off topic, but the video below does a great/hilarious job of highlighting the awful-ness of this movie. I dunno if some people will find this guys' humor annoying, but it's one of my favorite videos of his.

Should we place bets on whether Deakin or Aphex Twin is going to release an album first?

Post **Posted:** Sun Dec 07, 2014 11:07 pm

gah. seriously, is this coming out ever? i love deakin and i trust he is putting all of his heart in this. but how late is this now? Wasn't it due for 2011? I just feel like this is on the furthest backburner.

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 08, 2014 12:35 am

if the collective is getting back together now to write and record, the deak album is probably getting delayed even further right?

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 08, 2014 7:14 am

I assume so.

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 08, 2014 1:24 pm

Here's hoping deak's first solo album is a christmas album

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 08, 2014 11:50 pm

Damnit where is this!

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 3:00 am

i bet we're having a real nice conversation about this in an alternate universe

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 4:01 am

Double post sorry : /

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 4:13 am

Im wondering what the logistical reason is behind this incredible delay. If he's trying to create intense apprehension with a lead in to his first record, he's done that, but he's also alienated fans and it's come and gone on some people's radar..

That being said, I can't begin to imagine what the record is going to1 sound like. The band had gone through at least one era of instrumentation and song writing. He seemed like he was heavily influenced by tomboy, especially in terms of vocal production and singing style. I wonder if that will translate to the record along with the CHZ synthy baritone guitar taking care of the low end.

I'm sure he's recorded and scrapped 5 albums worth of material and versions of the songs over the years. It'll be very interesting to listen to the record with that in mind.it could very likely sound nothing like the one recording he has released and the set he toured. It would be cool if he released a retrospective of the process and progress of the jammies.

dud · Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 4:20 am

yeah what i don't understand is that he's had an album's worth of material as far back as 2010. and he's released some solid tracks already (wide eyed - chz, country report - keep tape, good house & guggenheim jam - ttg, that track from the dj set). so what exactly could it be that is setting him back? is he simply not satisfied with his own material?

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 4:28 am

I'd kill for a chance to ask him that. someones gotta go to a deak dj set and try to be up front with him

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 5:01 am

"Dibb blamed a "fatal perfectionism" for his delay in recording his debut solo album."

^wow i've never seen that article, thanks

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 5:32 am

Yeah. Interesting article. I hope he does follow through and realize how much people want to hear this.

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 7:24 am

I got a new bumper sticker that reads

"I already hate Deakin's second album"

lol'd

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 4:22 pm

I have a feeling Deak will sit the next AC album out to finish this. Maybe I'm wrong and we will never get a solo album

dud · Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2014 11:08 pm

i would totally prefer that if it means we finally get his solo album

Post **Posted:** Sun Dec 14, 2014 3:18 am

I don't think Deakin is really serious about being a solo artist. I mean he's in his mid-30s and has only had like two or three self composed songs officially released, not to be ageist or anything.
I think he's cool just being part of AC,.

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:48 am

If that were the case, then why would he claim that he was planning on releasing an album at all?

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:25 am

Deakin will pull a D'Angelo

Post **Posted:** Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:34 am

when is deak gonna get to the fireworks factory

I wonder how old this album's gonna sound once it's released, lol

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:22 am

^It's gonna be an Avatar-type situation, took so long to make it seems outdated by its release date

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 18, 2014 3:24 am

can we just edit the thread title to "Why did the deakin album/dvd never come out???"
