New Kayo Dot Material (Videos/Artwork [?])

The T, I'm not sure this one will convince you, but supposedly it's their least meandering, so that might help.

you and about 6000 others

Actually, since we're talking Kayo Dot here, I guess a more accurate number would be like 60...

Ah well.

I can't wait. I want some artwork though. And some preorder action. And a studio excerpt


.....please....

I'd still like that date with Mia if it's possible...

I'll go for T-shirt and stickers.

not a big button or patches fan though...still, I'll bet I could make an exception.

Probably the latter. But the idea I get is that the music could come off as meandering still, but it seems much more structured and precise in my opinion. As if everything is completely put in its place (not that it wasn't before, but there was some minimal room for improv on the last few records). Everything seems less wayward and wandering though, and more, like I said, put in its place.

But I mean hey, I haven't heard the whole thing yet, so who am I to judge.

Although, I think another good indicator is the fact that there are more tracks with a similar total time (as far as I've heard) as the other albums. So the songs are shorter, it seems, which leaves less room for meandering.

EDIT: This is now at the front of the thread too.


Don't quote me on this, as I do not know where this came from, but some people on other forums are widely speculative about the artwork, and they believe the picture below, or a variation of it, will be the artwork:



I think it's pretty awesome...

And I completely agree.

Hah, I never was a fan of PoS...ever. So luckily I avoided that disappointment.

You and me both!

And a bunch of other people.


If, indeed, it is the art.

I certainly hope so.

I feel Kayo Dot are continually keeping their music fresh and innovative. All three albums thus far already have distinct sounds and more prominent features than the other albums contained. They keep reinvigorating their formulas. And they are completely awesome. I cannot wait for this album. ......
