Maybe The Thing is an extended version of Alright Ramen 🤷

Also possible insider information: @aurorafranceoff said the song will be released "very soon"...

Aurora songs are often released on Fridays or Thursday evening midnight local time in each time zone, so maybe...

[Einyen]

It will be released tonight midnight in your local time zone, or you can use VPN to NZ/Australia or where ever it is after midnight:

Oh i like that a lot



edit: listening right now. I like that a lot...


edit2: massive Massive Attack vibes
edit3: and a bit of Goldfrapp

Ok, I wasn't prepared for THAT! Colour me surprised. It's got texture, mood and melody woven into each other quite nicely while retaining both artists' unique traits. The last part could have been a tad longer as I really enjoyed those pads coming in and make everything a bit spacier. The intro reminded me of Seal for a short moment but then took on a life of its own.

After what was for me a rather disappointing FTBF and underwhelming last two albums of Aurora's, this gives me hope again.
Maybe she's right and this may be a thing. Must be.

What a refreshing track in a world of ADHD driven 2 minute songs !

Yes. Almost like Teardrop with a more scandi-folk vocal.
Where she sings high like a whale(!) I'm also reminded of those Scandanavians, Sigur Ros.
The groove bit circa 3:46 reminds me of One Too Many Mornings.
And the bit at 4:13 reminds me of something too. The tail end of Taste Of Honey, maybe?

[Bosco]

This sounds too good to be a B-Side???

Got to agree with everyone's positive reactions and soundalikes. If I have one criticism, it meanders a bit in the back half... but I like the meandering!

Majestic tune. Interested to hear more!

Come on! When can we expect wide physical release with these 2 awesome tracks.

[Bosco]

I think FTBF is almost essential Chemical Brother output, but I'm understanding if people are indifferent about it.

@Csar , we need you at the next meeting of "the minds" with our late-night debauchery to air your grievances.

It could be that this is held until "Record Store Day". It coincides with their first LIVE date at Coachella, so I wouldn't be shocked...

Yeah, a RSD limited release, which than still can be found months later, also jumped to mind.

Just miss physical releases coincide with digital releases.
Off topic: anyone heard that Jamie XX' remix of 'Dopamine' by Robyn? Awesome track really in need of a 12" extended release

I like The Thing

Fun fact, my first listen of The Thing looked a bit like that picture, I had just gone to bed, saw the release and listened to it with the phone stuck to my hear so I would not disturb my partner who was sleeping next to me 😅

^ I think that's just a title for a digital compilation/playlist.

(youtube link suggests a hidden video, so maybe a music video for "The Thing", upcoming?)

The specific date GENIUS supplies for April 10th is interesting, though...

If you click "Show unavailable videos" it says that the hidden video is just an auto-generated video for Under The Water, which also appears in the same version of the playlist on other platforms.

The specific date GENIUS supplies for April 10th is interesting, though...

The leaked release date of the album was April 10
