New Idlewild songs and a tour (that doesn't come near the US)
Submitted by imaginary liz on March 22, 2007.Hooray! It looks like Idlewild will be hitting the stage once again. Unfortunately, they wont be stepping foot in the US... there's not even the one-off NYC Bowery show that we can live vicariously through (assuming we can talk some of our NYC friends to go and drool in our absence).
But, to tide us over until the US release of their latest album Make Another World on April 3 (it released in the UK on March 5th), enjoy some free mp3s and a rundown of their UK shows for your Roddy-loving consumption at the Harmony In My Ears blog.
So far it sounds like they are straying away from the softer road they were taking on the last album and moving back towards their "Rosability" roots. I, for one, am rejoicing (even though Seattle isn't on their hi-pri tour schedule).
Take that, Outkast!

if you pre-order the album from their new label, sanctuary records, they'll give you a link so you can download all of the tracks in advance. hopefully, a large amount of U.S. pre-orders will also increase chances of tour support :)

U.S. pre-order link???
Seratonen, I poked around and couldn't find a pre-order link on the Sanctuary site... but I did see you can order right now from Amazon.co.uk.
Mmmm, Idlewild.

a quick suggestion for the site -
either add a subject line or have it stop just randomly picking the first 4-5 words out of a reply as the header. it looks odd as it is now (as you can see in this & the previous).

AGREED.
It's already high on the list for post-launch fixes for our developer. That, and removing the (not verified) that keeps popping in there. IDK what that's all about. Meh!
