New for 2024

[qjamesfloyd]

Yes, but Autumn ends on 30th November, so, I really hope that is long enough. They might aswell start the next album now too!!

It is still looking good for an autumn release then.

Hmm, is there still a worldwide delay on vinyl production?

They are now 3 years working on the new album so a delay again because of vinyl production

Autumn ends on 30th November

even on 21th december ! winter begins on 22th

I don't believe in the release of the album in December. November 24 at the latest.

They are not in a hurry, thats for sure, so early next year would not suprise me at all.

Yes the delay is typically 5-6 months at present.
If they haven't pre booked a slot there is no way the album will be released this year.
A new album and tour for 24

I still don't get the Vinyl thing, just release the album on all the other formats, and then release the Vinyl at a later date, they could even have a pre-order thing.

Some artists do do that, but I think selling vinyl is one of the very few ways they can make money these days, especially with the box sets with all the extra tat for a hundred quid.

Looking at Guy's forum on my question about the artwork for the new album and his reply makes me wonder..... i just think the new album is not coming anytime soon....

But why? His answer actually makes sense. Album artwork is created by designers, and not MK or GF. They can provide the idea, but certainly not do the job!

I'm worried as I didn't read yet this is the best record they ever did.

Exactly!

I think the cover is ready and we will see it with the album release date

I hope he doesn't say it's the best album.  I think instead it's the best for the fans because, not touring anymore, he has to release a commercial album.  Mark has never liked very commercial albums, so, for him it can't be the best album.

Good point but it's just a feeling. This is all taking to long. Perhaps the question should have been if the artwork was already done. Although i must say i don't know how long this takes. Weeks, months?

The artwork is part of the process that never ever had anything to do with Guy so his answer doesn't mean anything really.

That's a part of the process that runs most of the time simultaneously and it's run by another team, and in which MK has a said, approve or refuse. With DTRW MK refused the work presented by Salvador Lavado Design and suggested to use the picture of the road that was used in the end.

Probably while they are ending the mix in order to be sent to mastering, someone else is working or already has a project for the design of the cover and maybe is already approved or rejected, but this is something we usually don't know as our source is usually Guy, and he's not involved in that.
