3 DVD/4CD live Boxed Set "Feed to Feed" released in June.

Oceansize Twitter

Some Twitters this morning:

RealOceansize I'm told the 'Feed To Feed' 3xDVD+4CD boxset will be out in June. It features live versions(plus lyrics) of all almost every song we've done

RealOceansize'Wall Carpet' has taken a magical turn. A real name is in order though i think. Writing lyrics today while Steve does some guitars.

looking fwd to that ep and the next full-length along with this new live boxed set; assuming my budget allows :P

But yes, Oceansize is freaking awesome.  =D

Mr. Neccy, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Feed-To-Feed
$55
https://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7945700&style=movie

it's listed on play.com which they gave on twitter but is £47.99 which is pretty close to $100 to import.

new ep info September release it sounds like.

https://sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=9471

Quote
"The EP (due, i'm told, in September) will be (most likely) 6 tracks. Compromising of our most 'reserved' material yet,
it does actually cover a lot of ground. 'Legal Teens' is a kind of futuristic 'Girl From Ipanema', and is one of my own
personal favourites of ours. 'Getting Where Water Cannot' is a mathematical head**** featuring pedal-steel guitar,
droning trumpets and pumping techno. 'Home and Minor' is a little choral lullaby based on a bed of tiny twittering
guitars laid out by Steven. It also features our old friend Kate Ray on vocals... (coincidentally, the trumpets were
supplied by former Earlie Tom Knott.... Kate and Tom used to be in a local Chorlton band Rocketfield.... we used to
play a lot together in the very early days... if you can get hold of their record 'Minitinfinity' you wont be
disappointed)......What else?.... Oh yeah, The Strand is, quite contrastingly, a dark ****er that broods like nothing
else we've done. I did the vocals in my kitchen. This also features a very special guest appearance at the very end.
Add to that a couple of instrumental pieces, both very different from each other, and you've got about 30-odd
minutes of material that's quite unique to our canon so far. Which i like to think you'd be expecting."

I really should get into these guys - I saw them supporting PT in london on the minitour (for the dvd  :hat) but I was late so only heard 1/2 a song of them :( What is a good starting album?

you could go with any of their albums, but probably "Frames" their last one works as well as any.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Looks like this is FINALLY available.  Just ordered my copy.  Will probably have to watch it on my laptop as I don't think my DVD player supports PAL, but whatever.  Still should be awesome.

"Legal Teens" is up to stream. Rather mellow, but in a good way.

My friend sent me one of their albums and I really like them, but not too familiar with them. Have to check this new stuff out.

I saw Amplifier supporting PT, they were awfully generic and dull.

I thought I'd better put something on this website as it hasn't been updated in a while. The follow up to Frames is almost done. Just got the saxophone quartet and the harpsichord parts to put down and it'll be done. I don't mind saying that this album will sh*t on the first three put together. But that's just my humble opinion, you might not think so, in fact you probably won't but you'll be wrong. If there was anything else of any importance happening around here I would tell you but there isn't so I won't. Go and enjoy the sunshine.

That's been up for like over a month  :P
Don't take their word for it that there's a sax quartet and harpsichord on it btw. They do take the piss with their blog and stuff most of the time.

The new album title is taken from the opening lyrics to new song 'Part Cardiac' I think

Okey dokey, so a guess at the tracklisting. It's 10 songs long we now know with 1 bonus track on the special edition.

So at a guess it's probably the 10 songs Mike's mentioned on Twitter:

Part Cardiac
Oscar Acceptance Speech
Pine
Steven's Head
Spider Rico
Magpie Soup
A Penny's Weight (ex-To The Zoo)
Ransoms
Build Me A Rocket, You Rocket Building C..t
It's My Tail

+ Tough Cookie (played live, possible bonus track)

I was just a hint curious with that dredg tour rumor, but given they haven't played in the States since 2004, and it's not like the Century Media/EMI thing is allowing tons of bands to come here that never did before.

But finally having an official North American release is a baby step.

Pretty sure some of those titles are wrong, don't get why they'd have made such slight unnecessary changes, and if they've shortened 'Build Me A Rocket (You Rocket Bulding C**t)' I'll be well upset.
And the title definitely has an 'up' on the end.
