hey guy, stop shitting in the thread. people here want to talk about AC making sweet new jams in LA and predict which breed of awesome it's going to sound like.

i'm still scratching my head about the comment of going back to their roots.
like danse? acoustic (sung tongs, ACB, prospect?)
i don't see them going back to ear bleeding high frequencies or freer form stuff, but i could see them having an approach similar to danse of exploring a lot of different stylings.
i could see them doing so crazy good acoustic stuff

That quote was referring to Centipede HZ. They haven't openly talked about the next record yet.

That studio they went to in nc looks like they have a lot of modular synth type instrument there. Would be pretty cool if they are using modulars for there new record.

What would this mean exactly?

If they used modular synths plus other instruments for the new album, like SMD and many other electronic acts use. Here's an example of some in action


If you're more interested in learning about modular synths check out this documentary, I Dream of Wires

Yeah well maybe if it was funny I would smile every time I scrolled past the giant wall of blank white space to read new replies but it's not. Don't try to act like it's some kind of interesting prediction for the upcoming album either.

[Hash]

wasn't he talking to Khonyey??

[Tropic]

Thanks a mil, Texas Trill

[kafkaesque]

agreed with the people who said avey and panda need to sing together again. all i need in my life is new AC harmonies. nothing like 'em

[Tropic]

The first techno album to feature harmonising vocals

[dud]

would love some more tracks with taste-eque vocals, like with each of them having their own melody

[Treckasec]

I want to hear more of the vocal delay effect like in the songs Boys Latin and Good Girl.

[jfw7]

fwiw: those are both great songs but use completely different techniques. boys latin is a great example of hocketing, where two voices alternate to create a single musical line. it's especially clear in live performances what's happening: the vocals on the beat are sung live, while the off beat vox are pre-recorded and triggered. good girl is just a really great slapback delay

[jetski]

didn't know there was a term for that boys latin vocal trick. cool

can also be heard in the background vocals of In the Singing Box

[jfw7]

heck, there's a whole piece about it!

and tour this year, and soon, and now.

[lonecyclone]

can't believe they replaced geo and deakin, though..

[rampface]

Just freaked out

[williswire]

OMG

[WokSoRaven]

[jfw7]

i am glad of this

[scarfacesam317]

Holy fuck! If this somehow gets released this year, 2015 could be like the greatest year in music in a long time. Now all we need is a dirty projectors and joanna newsom 2k15 announcement and it WILL be the greatest year ever. P.s. An OPN album wouldnt hurt either, but im content with the ep, so ill let it slide til 2016

[bobross]

Is now a good time to start hitting f5?

[jetski]

OMG

[scarfacesam317]

And this would be the first time in a while (maybe ever?) they recorded an album before playing any material live, right?

[jetski]

I didn't want to listen to any boots for this album release, looks like the boys answered my prayers :nateweep:

[jetski]

I would have been tempted to listen to the boots so this is exciting!!

[dio]

so who are those two ppl in the pic with avey and panda???


and like damn, only precedent for this studio recording-first thing is ODDSAC songs right? that means this will be craymazing

[faded arrow]

i'm so glad my face can represent this momentous occasion

[kingo]

They could still announce a tour soon and tour the material as we wait for it to come out

[dio]

i think it'd be dumb if it wasn't out by October given the date of this announcement, but ya this aint my first rodeo

[faded arrow]

does 'record' mean it's mastered or still raw? idk lingo

im assuming raw

[dio]

ya idk either^ seems kinda ambiguous maybe?

god a record after slasher and reaper sounds like seriously the best thing ever. these are gonna be the best lennon/mccartney songs of all time

[iKahn]

It means they've recorded the sounds they need. I'm sure there's still lots of work to be done.

[hatredcopter]

what blessed news
