a variety of release dates are floating around on the net at the moment, but 22nd August is what Planet Mu are saying and I guess they know more than most
you can listen to track 3, Contain here featuring ear-bleeding white noise merchant SKM-ETR. It wouldn't have been that out of place on Rossz Csillag Allat Született with the spacious reeverb and string arrangement, although the drums seem slightly more processed and there are more electronic sounds dotted around. The 'You could live in my coffee can/I'll feed you flies everyday/I'll crush you with pencil erasers' lyric reminds me of some of Winter in the Belly of a Snake's darker moments, but its also quite catchy, however bizarre that might sound. The high pitched melody behind the words is almost vintage AFX
I'm a little gutted that he's stuck to the more traditional drum sounds again (after Rossz Csillag's amen breaks from start to finish) - his strongest work comes when he moves away from them (all of Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding and Nepetalactone on Songs About My Cats to name but a few) and uses more distinctly different, contrasting sounds. Its infinitely frustrating knowing he can produce work like that - when virtually no-one else can, but chooses not to. Drum sounds are too restrictive and familiar for my liking. They don't give him the scope to really fuck with your head - his professed aim...
From reading accounts of recent live gigs, it sounds like the rest of the album is pretty hard and dark - Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole-style, keeping in line with what seems like an attempt to court the electronic/industrial fans who recently crawled out of their death metal coffins (incidently often the same people who prefer to throw themselves around to his music rather than listen to it...)
So, for Snares fans who don't want to kill their parents/obliterate the entire human race, it looks like we will have to wait another couple of months at least for a more cerebral release. Although, this is all based on one track and a few bits of second hand information, so I could (hopefully) be wrong...
