Even In Exile was about 7 weeks between announcement and release, as was TIMT20 - so it's still feasible I guess.

Vinyl manufacturing delays are also throwing artist release schedules out of whack.

Anyone got the tumbleweed gif to hand?

Speculation: the CDs are ready, but the vinyls aren’t (as per TUVL). So the leaked 18th august date refers to what they originally planned, but vinyl is putting it back

Source: my own meandering experience

Anyone else recreated (as best we can at this point given the missing songs and the unclear tracklist for Disc 1) Door to the River and Solidarity?

I've listened to Door to the River and it is pretty great sounding...not sure of Royal Correspondent closing it however.

Is it possibly meant to be a bridge to solidarity? Like 30 year war on RTF

I'm wondering if both 'albums' finish after Track 10?

11-13 on Disc 1 may be demos (they already appear earlier on the disc). Doesn't explain Royal Correspondent, maybe it's just been dropped?

You could argue Disc 2 finishes after track 12, but it makes a good 10 track rock album without Wattsville & Europa

Thats my 100% complete guess at least!

Kinda love the idea that Solidarity ends with “brain dead motherfuckers”

UK School's break up on the 25th of July.
So could this be a reason for the delay of an announcement? Band too busy sorting out their kids GCSE's?
Well it's only a few more weeks anyway
By end of the month we'll hear more than we have this entire year about their next phase.

Sorting their GCSEs? You mean sit the exams themselves? :p exams are may and June and results in August

Didn't know that. So maybe they are stuck in an Airport somewhere trying to go on a Summer break

Much more likely

I get the feeling the band aren't the ones who sit and update the website and mailing list.

Are we sure that Jean's Not Happening isn't code for KYE Re-Issue's not happening?

Where can one get this list? Have they released "official" Solidarity / Door to the river tracklists? (Tried scanning this thread but saw no link to them...)
