So the amount of activity on twitter has led me to believe that the second album is getting close. So i just wanted to get a tread going for us to compile any information/speculation that we have or find about the ever so elusive second avalanches album (on a side note: just saying/typing that makes me excited.) So if you guys know anything new, let us know.

whot kind ov activity?? concrete infos dealing wit new stuff???

it doesn't have to be concrete, it can be other things like that there was talk of visuals to go with the album (although if you do find something please provide a source) just anything that gives us an insight as to what the new album might be.

so if i'm interpreting their tweets correctly, there last one mentioned that they sent a new track to Connan Mockasin. Hope they pass that on to us.

to which new vocals is Feb 20th message referring to?!

From The Brag today:

Quoting Steve Pavlovic:

"Before I hang up, I have one more question: where the hell is that Avalanches album at, please? Pav laughs again – he’s used to this one. “Well, they’re going to be having a finished-in-the-studio party with us in May, so I’d say it’s going to be some time this year. I’ve heard it from one end to the other.” …And? “You’re asking the wrong person. I think they’re the most creative people this country has ever seen.”



Getting a little more excited!

just saw that thing on the brag and
I KNOW HOLY F**KING S**T, IT IS GETTING EVER CLOSER now i'm excited to see what may brings.

Pitchfork as well: http://pitchfork.com/news/42650-new-ava ... -finished/

Just saw those articles. FUCK. YES.

Damn, didn't expect news as good as this when I cliked myself in here today!

Just to make sure if anyone here is going to see them at vivid, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD; IF THE PLAY OR MENTION ANYTHING CONCERNING THE ALBUM, PLEASE GET VIDEO OF IT.

Hell Yeah, if any one is going to see the Avalanches at vivid, please get your iphone out and get some footage. I would love to hear what their new DJ sets are like. There is not much of them doing live stuff on YouTube. When are they gonna make the Big Top Splendour mix available for download? Thats been sitting on the download page since 2006, but they still haven't made it available yet. Hopefully they give us something new before the end of the year, even a dj set mix.

"Thanks to all who voted. Tune in now to hear Robbie speak about the making of Since I Left You on triple j. Info on new Avalanches material to follow shortly."

Although what their definition of "shortly" is is anyone's guess.

Red herring once again it seems. The 'new material' is a 10th anniversary reissue of SILY

http://www.modularpeople.com/news/liste ... /8025.html

Well i wouldn't go as to say red herring because from what i understand the second album is still set to release either late this year or sometime next year. Also, in another bit of curiosity/speculation, pitchfork no longer has their review of since i left you on their website and it was up their recently so my guess is they took it down after the reissue was announced.

Oh.
Your.
God.

Can I stop holding my breath now?

At this point i would say it's safe to, which is good because you're starting to turn blue.

So seeing as how the avalanches are doing the 11 anniversary re-issue of SILY, does anyone here think that this is going to happen on the 27th of next month? technically that is the 11 year anniversary and you'd think that modular would have said something at this point seeing as how were getting close enough for me to start going insane if i keep getting hearsayed on all this stuff.

I don't know if it matters, but there's a dude on ebay selling bunch of SILY lp's with a sentence "RELEASED 22nd SEPTEMBER 2011" in item description.
