Hell Yeah!

Also, Tool should be releasing a new record in 2012,  but knowing them it could also take another few years.
The Magnetic Fields will release Love at the Bottom of the Sea, their tenth full-length album and first release of new material with Merge since 1999?s
highly acclaimed
69 Love Songs,
on March 6. The band will celebrate their new album with a North American tour that passes through the SXSW Music Showcase in Austin, Texas.

After putting out three synthesizer-free albums, The Magnetic Fields are returning to the signature mix of synth and acoustic sounds they established in
the 90s with Merge releases such as
The Charm of the Highway Strip
and
Get Lost.
Stephin Merritt has come back to synths with a fresh approach: ?Most of the synthesizers on the record didn?t exist when we were last using synthesizers,?
he notes. The songs ? none over three minutes long ? were recorded in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York with Merritt?s usual cast of collaborators:
Claudia Gonson, Sam Davol, John Woo, Shirley Simms, Johny Blood and Daniel Handler.

Methinks Jaguar will be happy with most of this new Alcest album.


The black metal vocals are at a minimum and more of a focus is put on dream pop. There are a couple detours into black metal but it is nothing too rough.

The only gripe I have with it is whenever the vocals are not backed by shoegazy guitars, they sound generic radio rocky to the point of almost making me cringe. I would take black metal screams over that painful vocal any day.

A little bird told me they will be stateside in March.

EDIT…sometime this spring.
Would warrant an NYC trip.

Oh, cool. I'll have to check it out. There was only 1 song on his last album that I could tolerate and that one was an instrumental. Gorgeous song but not long enough to justify a purchase considering that the rest irritated me beyond belief.

Thanks, Killsaly for the link!  ;)
I know you live far out now but is there any chance of you coming out for the SVI/Ceremony show next week?

Not likely; however, I do have a big gap of time off coming up then. Then again, if it's in DC, odds are much, much slimmer that I could reasonably make it to the show. A Baltimore show would be a possibility even though I'd be staying even further from the city than where I had been living.

When and where are they playing again? I forgot.
BC on the 18th.
This should get a "hell yes" or two.
