The new Neotropic album, "The Absolute Elsewhere" is finally coming out this year! (release date July 20th [thanks Ross]) Definitely keeping with the modern classical feel of her radio show and recent musical output.
July 20th according to the label.
Interesting that this was due as an LP on Pink Lizard early last year, but that seems to have fallen through - Slow Craft seem to only release CDs too.
Loved 'Your War' since it turned up on her SoundCloud a few years ago, very excited about this album.
Oh right! Pink Lizard did the re-issue of White Rabbits too. That is really odd that they dropped the new album.
I'm not sure if I had heard Your War before but it's really really good. That remix is really good to. Very excited for the album. I couldn't get into Equestrienne for some reason so it's been a while (Prestatyn) since I've had some new Neotropic.

Because I really LOVED this album - hearing it twice today for the first time.
It's really well balanced and nicely produced. I love how the vocals are used too.
I understand it can be viewed as too slow, borderline boring, if you're not in the right mood, it's probably one of those albums that require a certain preset mood, but otherwise, really liking this.
I think this might be my favourite album of hers since Mr Brubaker's Strawberry Alarm Clock. Stunning and haunting album. Like a cinematic expansion on Prestatyn, which is probably my favourite work of hers.
I guess I'm missing the summery vibes, complexity and the beats/wonky samples from the LPF era, this is just super melancholic and minimalistic throughout. Sounds a bit like she had some type of a drug problem. Sorry.
The direction of the music and the fact the fact that she's super thin sure makes me think so (because I've seen similar stuff with people I know in the past). I hope that I'm wrong and maybe was a bit out of line there, soz.
It's an anti-war album, largely, which explains the tone. She seems pretty healthy these days - her main hobby is running, she takes parts in marathons and stuff - and she also spends a lot of time working on her allotment, so I don't think drugs are particularly an issue. From what I can know, she seems very happy and healthy.
