Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx And The Maths New Maths album...

Well, they kept this quiet!

(From Twitter) A short clip of a track from the new John Foxx & The Maths album which they finished on Friday.

Apparently the track we hear is called "Unrecognised".

Exciting! And there was I wondering if there might be an EP for the tour... I wonder if there will be a new album instead?! Though being next month, I doubt it could come out that fast.

Yeah...



And it really doesn't do the track justice...



Everyone's been working VERY hard...

Wow! I almost combusted with glee when I saw that last night.

What exciting times these are!

..is that the album they finished on Friday or the track?

Blimey I wasn't expecting that, liked the brief clip.

When is it likely to be out the album?

According to info on Artrocker the new album will be called The Shape of Things, and it will be a limited edition due out in October 2011. It will only be available either online from www.johnfoxxandthemaths.com or on the Interplay tour.

Excellent news.

What I find interesting is that is it going to be a limited edition. For John that usually means 1000 copies. I got the impression Interplay sold pretty well, so why would the follow up be limited in any way? Does this indicate it may not have the same broad appeal?

...maybe they just thought 'why make an EP for the tour when you can make an album'!

Can't say I'm that keen on "Talk" though... sounds like a rough demo. Maybe it'll be a grower, and it'll also depend on it's placing and context within the album.
