Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
I like the artwork. Part of me feels there’s a it of hidden Easter eggs. It’s better than the Drift artwork.

Hoping I can buy from Bandcamp for a digital copy.

Wasn?t much. Just a mini pre recorded intro with them introducing. Interestingly , Karl said ?do not shuffle.? Which is in the press release.

There's a key to the tableau in the gatefold artwork of the vinyl and CD.

Unfortunately, I don't think it will be on Bandcamp. You will be able to buy digital copies from the usual digital retailer places though, like iTunes or Amazon, or Qobuz for high-res lossless.

No limited editions that I can see. Just the double vinyl, and CD. Several shirts based on the tchotchkes in the album art photo, a couple lithos, and a keyring.

Also, you can sign up to be in fucking Underworld now:

well, i'm getting the LP and cd version..
but yeah, i'm sure they'll put out a deluxe version at some point.

they've been doing it for several versions.

but you could just also buy all the art and keyring and put that together too.

later

Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
While the artwork is different from the messy aesthetic of Dubnobass or STITI or Barking, I don't think it's outside of their aesthetic at all, especially when you think of some of the (intentionally ugly, IMHO) single covers in the Hundred Days Off era. As for me, I think this direction is way more interesting and adventurous than the Drift project aesthetic.

I don't think I ever expected the album artwork to follow the single artwork of Denver Luna and And The Color Red... they were clearly placeholders while they settled on the art direction for the album.

This is very cool. I'm excited to hear that.

Nina Nastasia appears on Iron Bones
Esme wrote and performs Ottavia. It's transcribed from Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea, so it may be a choral piece (like "A Moth at the Door" in Drift).

Re: Strawberry Hotel - new album out 25th Oct
Just got the email announcement this morning. Great news to wake up to!

Hoping ?Strawberry Hotel? (the song) will still show up under a different title.

I?m relieved that the pricing is more moderate this time around. As much as I love the high-end special editions, they?re usually a stretch for my budget, and very limited to boot. This release is much more egalitarian.

I don't know about you, but I haven't heard the whole album yet. Hard to say it's a letdown until then, especially when they say "don't shuffle".

I think the only thing that will get me excited about this LP is if the track we all heard titled as Strawberry Hotel be on the album. I have no issue if they gave it another title, but the options are slim considering the bulk of the track times are rather short. This has to be the worse album cover in UW history. The artwork for Black Poppies is even better. aphasein - I think I'll use your album cover too! Don't get me wrong, I am excited for a new UW album for sure... I just don't know how I feel about this one - guess I will have to wait until October 25th to find out. I do hope some of these smaller tracks are blended into other tracks on the album.
Slightly baffled by this negativity. I mean yeah, the cover's not a classic. Lots of short tracks and the phrase "Please don't shuffle" suggests to me that we're probably going to be looking at four side-long suites. Two of the tracks we've heard from the album so far are beatless, two solid techno tracks, so it looks like it'll have a good range of styles. The tracks heard live are promising. So... yeah, I'm optimistic this will be, at the very least, an interesting album.
