In reply to the question everyone is asking, from The Avalanches Facebook Page:

"From what i've heard it's beyond the band's control but british summer at the absolute latest."

"Single leading into the british summer apparently."

Ummm, feel like we are reading tea leaves here sometimes,trying to make connections . . . :wink:

So here's a completely random appearance of The Avalanches - picking a fight with Bon Iver re alcohol of all things . . . (as reported by Pitchfork, via Twitter).

No, I don't know what it means and why they have sailed forth after some years of quiet anonymity

Theories/observations/speculations gratefully accepted - all submissions will be read! :wink:

I think they also mentioned on their twitter that they'd be mixing the album just after the New Year.

Sounds like someone's had a hard time of it, and can't stand by while some newbie contradicts themselves about endorsements. Actually quite like Bon Iver.

I think it is kind of cool that the Avalanches -- an act that hasn't put out an album in 10 years -- still have some swagger.

I liked that too. The points about being massively in debt weren't too clever mind… reminded me of the comments about advances in the Soulwax interview.

I love the 'Pentagrams and pot leaves' line. Now I can say I'm excited!

This news is exciting me. Now we've got some potential release dates, track titles, album titles and lyrics.

Hopefully, a song preview is on its way next...

I was too slow to get that "Jennifer RTX" was Jennifer Herrema. I used to love Royal Trux back in the '90s. They put on some great shows back then. Anyway, thanks for connecting the dots for me.

There's a seller on Discogs, who sells SILY Lp and describes it as "2012 Re-Issue on Blue Vinyls: Sealed & brand new!".
:shock:
