Mission of Burma - new album, single, MP3 & Pool Party pics

DOWNLOAD: Mission of Burma - 1, 2, 3, Partyy! (MP3)
On October 6, Matador will be releasing Mission Of Burma's fourth studio LP, The Sound The Speed The Light. Recorded in Boston with Bob Weston at the controls, the record is a departure from the pinned-needles roar of 2006's The Obliterati. The new album sounds far more spacious and dynamic. It is more or less divided into 4 sets or suites of 3 songs. Each suite explores a set of moods or colors, across the usual dizzying array of lyrical topics, from alcoholism to fleshly concerns.The album opener, "1, 2, 3, Partyy!" was also the band's opener at their Williamsburg Waterfront show on June 12th (the JellyNYC 'Pool Party'). An mp3 of that song is above. Pictures from that show are above and below.
Before the album's release, Matador will be putting out a 7-inch single on August 18th with two bonus tracks, "Innermost" and "Here It Comes."
The band has been keeping track of the recording process on their website. On March 22nd, they wrote," And we decided against a couple of album titles: 'The Only Band the Mutters' was one which we, after much deliberation, decided was too obvious. What about 'Mr. Spock?' Uh..."

The new stuff sounded great.

I too thought the new stuff sounded terrific. and the band seemed to really be into the new stuff as well, which is a great sign.
i want to echo the comments in the other thread too about the sun. maybe back a ways it was a better angle, but right in front of the stage it was rough. even wearing sunglasses my eyes still hurt a little today. a rolldown screen would solve a lot of the problem.

Bao should win some kind of award for that lead photo.

if there's a huge show and nobody has any comments about it, did it really happen?

Seriously. I wore my cargo shorts as well.
That prohibited list is a lie.
Next week I'm bringing my knives, snakes and bald eagles.

why was Mission of Burma playing as a three piece?
Posted by Anonymous | July 13, 2009 2:36 PM
^^Because the fourth member of the band died. That news went overlooked because of Michael Jackson's death.

i thought they added a member. sorry, my bad...

they played as a 4 piece.

Bob Weston wasn't there.

Neither was Michael Jackson. What's your point?

Bob Weston WAS there, actually. He was in the sound booth making the loops and doing sound.

"MEHssion of BurMEH"
is this serious?
besides the fact that the "meh" plague is like some bad high school trend, saying it about mission of burma is just asinine.

"why was Mission of Burma playing as a three piece?"
Is this question a joke? MoB were playing as their normal 4 piece. Bob Weston was rocking the 2880 as usual.

No "Academy Fight Song" in the set. I have to admit I liked Ponytail better.
