The New Album Info Thread

[Disco.]

There’s nothing wrong with this single. I mean, it’s just not my kind of music. So I’m disappointed for sure. I don’t see (so far) how this is part of a trilogy. If the third in the latest Star Wars trilogy deviated so much from the previous two I would be as equally confused and uninterested.

I definitely don’t see how this is single material, but what do I know.
Is this the only guitar featured song on the album? I was really hoping for the production stylings of Electric and Super just more downtempo. I hope this is still true.

Additionally, other than the first and last track titles the rest sound promising. Curious what the b-sides for Burning the Heather will sounds like.

It’s most likely not a single, just a taster for the album.

Does anyone know what this interior is? Is it the inside of a modern church, perhaps in Berlin?

It's definitely fake or at least highly computerized, because every nook and cranny is mirrored.

Love this ... very Ridley Scott

Shame it’s not the album cover

Totally reminds me of parts of the Berghain usually not open for the public.

Greetings,

It’s most likely not a single, just a taster for the album.

Definitions may vary in the digital age, but if it gets released separately with its own unique artwork (let alone a "radio edit"!) then it's a single in my book.

Retro.

The more I listen to Burning the heather, the more concerned I become we’ll get a dreary album. However, then I remembered the Roland 303 we saw in a photo a while back and I hold out hope for a few bangers on the way.

Burning the heather is the only guitar track.

Hotspot makes me think of WIFI.

Maybe its about the need to be continuously connected to the internet irrespective of location?

Crap, beat me to it!

Well to be fair....there is no way an upbeat album is on something with that style of cover.
and I love the cover btw. yes this is most likely going to be an elysium style album which is fine with me, I tend to get the same ratio of all time favorites per album whether its a predominantly up album or down.

According to the 6 Music interview, the album is called Hotspot as a reference to Berlin being the “hotspot” of the Cold War. The wi-fi link is secondary... It’s also a naff, brash reference to a nightclub, reflecting that side of the music. It’s purposefully less tasteful than some of their previous titles.

As usual everyone is enjoying trying to second guess the sound of the album from the two pieces of evidence released thus far. Which we means we could all be right or completely wrong.

Either way, with Heather on it, it looks certain that it's not a banging and lasers effort, which I for one are happy with. I think they show off their creativity much more when the songwriting is pushed to the forefront, as the new track does. Of course, we all like the inclusion of the odd full on track too, and hopefully they'll be a couple of those as well.

Ultimately, we should all be grateful that they can still turn out tracks of this quality after so long.

And I love the album cover. Beautiful and haunting at the same time
