Damo Website Update.... with Album Tracklist??

[carrroline]

^ interesting!

[ramiendice]

Great find about the vinyl! I tweeted at the official DR account yesterday asking if we will see the album on vinyl. Looks like I got my answer and its the one I was hoping for.

Better be for 30£

[RenataAQP]

I'm still jumping out of excitement!!
Hopefully we'll see some tour dates soon!!

[MANGO]

omg omg omg omg

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carrroline]

Could "It Takes A Lot To Know A Man" be "Stone"?

[Gunter]

The vinyl release of "My Favourite Faded Fantasie" seems to be a release of four vinyl singles, but there's no hint wheather it's 7" or 12". 7" would look more cute but a 12" at 33rpm would sound slightly better.

Disc: 1
1. My Favourite Faded Fantasy
2. It Takes A Lot To Know A Man
Disc: 2
1. The Greatest Bastard
2. I Don't Want To Change You
Disc: 3
1. Colour Me In
2. The Box
Disc: 4
1. Trusty And True
2. Long Long Way

Vinyl is cool!

It's 2 records not 4

[Gunter]

It seems my English isn't good enough anymore :-( I always thought a "vinyl-record" is one "disc" and therefore..., but it's the music that counts! :-)

Only 60 days!

Edit: Source of confusion detected! The amazon page mentions two discs, but numbers the disc from 1 to 4 instead of "disc 1 side A", "disc 1 side B".....

[carrroline]

^ no worries, we all get confused sometimes
And actually, we don't know anything for sure yet..

But if I count correctly, it's only 59 days now...

when i first had a look to the pic (thanks shar!), i remember one song´s title got me completly. it was "my favourite faded fantasy", which it turned out to be the title of the album, yay!

as for the new songs or old songs, i´ll pass on the speculation i believe. i´d like to be caught by surprise

also... have you noticed "the igloo" icon at the bottom of damien´s website (along with all the media sites). could it be cutter? i think it´s very sweet from damien and/or his team. very proud of the boys who started this amazing community and of all of us as we are part of it. cheers!

last but not least (sorry, my connection chances are very limited these days), mr. rice i´m so happy that whatever was holding your back was finally released

I like what someone else from the BBC put in reply to this:

https://twitter.com/BexWills/status/507887070229299200

@BexWills: @GeorgErgatoudis @DamienRice the strings are tear-inducing, hair-raising and desperately evocative - this could be better than O for me.


That comment has me REALLY excited for the studio version.

[daavo]

So this looks to be the cover art, according to ninecrimes.it (sorry it's a bit small).

[carrroline]

Wow. Where did they find this?

[glo32]

that artwork is called The End Of The World by street artist Escif
http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/end-...world-by-escif

I like it.

[Verdure]

Surprised damien didn't actually draw the cover himself.

[damien lisa]

i can't imagine an album that better than o, no way

[carrroline]

Thanks, Glo! It's an interesting choice for a cover.
Not at all what I expected, but I like it.

Maybe he added that boat at the bottom of the ladder.

Amazon has the album up for pre-order in the US

US release seems to be Nov 11, one week after the UK

Thanks for sharing this!! I looked on amazon when news of the new album came out but i didnt see it listed.

I just placed my order

[borneoman]

can't remember if I posted this before

George Ergatoudis @GeorgErgatoudis · Sep 4
It's not every day that I hear a new song that totally floors me. Today was one. Just wait till u hear The Greatest Bastard by @DamienRice

just realised that this George Ergatoudis is the big big boss from BBC Radio 1... so we should expect Bastard to premiere soon maybe??????

[carrroline]

It's available for preorder on itunes as well!
https://itun.es/i6gc2cM
expected release date 31 october

[borneoman]

saw it too

looks like it´s 3 Nov for Uk and then 31 Oct for the rest of Europe. that´s the normal, Europe always gets all releases first, the previous Friday relative to the UK, where releases are always on Mondays

uk


ireland

[borneoman]

we got the track length for 3 songs too!!! all > 5 min, pretty long!!!! plus sure Long Long Way and Trusty & True are > 5 min too for sure

[carrroline]

yay for Europe! only 53 days left.

And I guess we'll hear the bastard soon, since it's already at the BBC

[borneoman]

I guess there´ll be an official announcement soon!!!! I mean, makes no sense to start an album pre-order if no one is aware of Damien´s comeback

maybe we can try emailing or tweeting people at bbc radio 1 and get them to play Bastard

[carrroline]

Well, I'm not very active on twitter, but yeah, go ahead!

[eva_arg]

there's a HQ cover on amazon, posting as link because it's huge
