Reading that news has just made my day! Brilliant brilliant brilliant

Wait... Which holidays? I can't think of any ones coming up. He doesn't mean he's going to hold off on recording till Thanksgiving or Christmas, is he?

Doesn't matter, I guess. When Devin records, Devin records. And I will listen.

whitsun/pentecost, i guess. that's this weekend, yay!

Anymore info on the new album Dev?

I'm a bit scared about this whole minimalist thingy though. What I love most about Devins music is the layering.

If you say that because you think that minimalist music doesn't involve layers, you have never been more wrong. It's ALL ABOUT layers.

Yes. All two of them!

I have songs...


It's very different and very special...very strange...very minimal...deeply satisfying and sometimes very heavy in a 'new' way...it may be too dark for some. I've worked on this record more than almost any record I've ever done next to Ocean Machine. Sometimes I think it's brilliant and sometimes it freaks me out.

I can't wait to hear this new songs!

Never is too dark, I think... Or too heavy, or too experimental. The real important fact is that this music gets into the soul, because its quality and the amount of feeling it has. And I'm sure this will happens... Like all the other Dev's albums!

I'm really excited with those news... Greetings from Spain!

The Crow (José Antonio).

Have you guys ever actually listened to any minimalist composers? They're minimalist in the sense that they use very few musical ideas, but then endlessly layer and morph them. Layering is a huge point of minimalist music.

With that said, I don't know if that's literally what he meant, but he's a strong songwriter, and if he writes a stripped down record with songs he's been working on crafting for this long, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Steve Reich and John Cage for the fuckin' win

BRING IT ON.

This sounds fantastic.

After the Hummer I have full confidence that Devin can do minimalism.

I'm especially excited that he said he's put so much work into it... the recent albums (New Black and Ziltoid), while good, seemed rushed.

Agreed i wasnt a fan of the new black and although i loved ziltoid when it was first released ive stopped listening to it

i think his next album could be something special though, just got a feeling its going to be really good!
