Happy New Year! According to The Wave Pictures' website their new album, "Long Black Cars", will be released in March 2012 on Moshi Moshi. Great news to start the year.
Hopefully more info will start to dribble out soon regarding the record. Is this what they recorded in New York during their late summer jaunt over to the US? Or perhaps it's the result of the sessions they supposedly had in Leeds and London before the Hayman produced Beer In The Breakers? Who knows, but we will soon I'm sure. There certainly seems to be a number of tunes being played live in the last few months which could make the cut, not least the title track, and hopefully Stay Here And Take Care Of The Chickens makes the record as it's a personal, unreleased favourite of mine.
This blog is currently hosting a bootleg of a an Austrian show from September:

A number of unreleased songs can be heard on here and although a few spellings may have got lost in translation it's well worth your time. Jonny singing lead is a noticeable change and it'll be interesting to see if that's just something to keep the live arena engaging or whether he makes the album.
And finally, we await the most important news of all - will it come out on vinyl!!??
