Hoping they've got Andy Weatherall back on production duties. He helped make Tarot Sport shine.

Can't wait! Thanks for the head's-up.

I'd also like to add.. that the last time I saw FB live was the night before my house burned down. And Andrew had on a BoC t-shirt.

According to the link in OP, this will be "their first self-produced record":

You could argue this is the first album where the pair have really gone all in, taking control right down to producing it at their own Space Mountain studio. “We've used producers as safety nets in the past,” says Andrew Hung, “but we've always had a very specific idea of what our music should sound like and so it became about following the logical path.”

Anyone heard this yet? Wasn't sure at first, but it's really grown on me, really can't wait for this thing now.

I heard it earlier. I thought it was spectacularly good, and completely unexpected. By 'unexpected' I mean the direction they've taken (hip-hop-ish) not that it was good. I will caveat my hyperbole by saying that I have only heard it once, and that was through my laptop speakers. Wish more artists would embark on a new path with every new album.

Streaming now on Pitchfork here: http://pitchfork.com/advance/161-slow-focus/. Sounding really great to me on first listen, and I'm not too sold on Red Wing.

What with this, TH and Jon Hopkins am feeling pretty spoilt this year.
