Oh shit, guys. What’s up! Kieran Hebden, here! How is everyone doing? Yeah, I’m doing good, too. You know, I’ve only got a second here to write; Yorke and Burial and I are hitting up our Tuesday-night bowling league in like one minute. But yo, I just wanted to say that I’ve been meaning to write and record and release another album since 2010’s There Is Love in You. Which, you know, turned out alright for me! But Honestly, I’ve been just hanging out and casually recording my jams and hitting clubs to dance and DJ so much that I never really got around to it. You know how it is. Especially when Thom is all like “dude, let’s go pop some of them Bath Salts and shit and hit the town!” I mean, I don’t want to say too-too much about that, but… yeah, that dude is tiring!
Anyway, so I’ve been feeling kinda bad about not releasing a follow-up and all that, but then it just hits me: why don’t I just compile all of my vinyl-only singles that I’ve been kicking out while Thom is still passed out in the tub on Sunday mornings and call it good?!? So, yo, that’s what’s up. I called up those fucking chodes at Pitchfork and told ‘em. “New album coming on August 20.” It’s called Pink, and you know what? I’m gonna make it even easier on myself and put it out digitally on my own Text label! It’s gonna be awesome! I’m done! Well, maybe I’ll put out a CD version in Japan on August 22 on Hostess Entertainment. Boom! Oh, and I also told those fuckers that I want to be on that “Pitchfork Classic” shit. Cuz I mean, come on. Rounds? Fucking awesome record. Shit, anyway, that’s it guys. I gotta jet for the bowling alley. Last week I bowled a turkey. Thom tried to eat its face off! More on that next time. Peace!
