Sleepytime Gorilla Museum?

[Ferag]

Even in the unexpect forum back 9 years a go the fourth album has been talked and very waited for....Maybe BM and SGM will surprise us....

I don't think I will be taking those....I'm a big fan of experiemental weird stuff, but SGM is one of the only band I found it very difficult to listen their album completely haha!

I always thought that if I were to start a label I would want to release these albums on vinyl.  I would do a limited edition box set made of wood with the donkey from Grand Opening and Closing seared onto the front like a brand and give it a fancy lock in the side.  

I can't wait to own these as records.  I miss this band.  Each time they came around I went to see them, talked with Nils several times at shows and got their logo as my first tattoo.  Thankfully Free Salamander Exhibit exists and will hopefully have their album finished this year too.  Maybe we will also see the final Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album soon as well.

You have nice taste. The live FSE stuff that Carl King posted was great, a little less serious and not so dramatically striking but I can't wait for an album. I always had a feeling the the fourth SGM was just a joke of theirs to tease people and keep us hanging on a promised legend, and the more time goes by the more I think this must be true as I even heard an excuse that they couldn't find a label (seriously?!). I would be happy to be proved wrong!

Thank you!  I am very certain that the fourth album exists to an extent, but there is also a final Idiot Flesh EP that exists and has been promised for over 10 years.  Only two tracks from it have seen the light of day (Let the Dog Sing and Monkey).  The last time I saw Sleepytime Gorilla Museum they played the some The Grey Pelican which Dan wrote in memory of his father who had recently passed away.  There is also a film called The Last Human Being which they are still working on which I have seen pieces of.  Plus I am pretty confident they are contractually obligated to do the last album with The End Records (maybe they were dropped though?) so I hope that is enough to get it to the public eventually.  That said I know they all have day jobs and I completely understand needing to provide for a family first.  

Regardless, anything coming from that group of people is welcome in my book.  I always thought the Web of Mimicry would be the ones to release SGM on vinyl but I know Trey is busy with the Secret Chiefs so it is awesome to see Blood Music is the label giving them a proper release.

I hope you're right about the fourth album, I thought the film was a joke too as it's been a long wait (5 years?). It's good to hear at least something coming from theae guys, even if Carla's beauty won't grace FSE.
and let's not expect too much from Trey and Mimicry if we ever want to see/hear his apparently huge unreleased catalogue of music he has promised for so long.. not that I'm complaining, that guy can take all the time he needs. I guess he 's witing for the right planetary alignments etc.

and to Ferag: I really hope more peole feel like that so the vinyls don't sell too fast. admitedly it took me years of vague familiarity before I actually got into SGM, but when it hit it REALLY hit and somehow connected quite personally. and that crisp production of the first album felt so wasted by only CD release. These will be one of the most celebrated sets of needle drops

Trey has a shit load of music but he is a perfectionist and will sit on it, revise it, sit some more, revise, record, rerecord, sit, revise, preform live twice, and scrap it before he is happy with the final result. That said when he does release something it is always amazing.

The band has referenced the 4th album before. I do not know much about the 4th album, but it seems to exist at least partially in some form or another. Maybe by the time we're dead.

Test pressings sound awesome on these! Layouts look crazy. Going to press now.
