News reaches us from the excellent Stereogum website that Tim Hecker has a new album out next month. The chillingly titled Ravedeath, 1972 was recorded in a church in Reykjavik, which should help bring out all those cavernous drone sounds. He worked on the album with fellow droner - and Iceland resident - Ben Frost. Meaning it should be pretty good.
The front cover is of some people pushing a piano off a building. Deep.
Hopefully the release will be an improvement on the rather listless output of late, such as the only fleetingly engaging An Imaginary Country and the Apondalifa single.
The album is released by Kranky on Febuary 14.

That's a really good news!
