That's a relief! I was afraid the Transparent Humans releases were to fill the void of a postponed new album, but I see that's not the case!! Steve posted a pretty sweet clip of Duncan slappin' da bass.

Well they told that Spiritual Machines inspired Curve but at least for me Spiritual it's on another level respect Curve and also if i think that Curve it's a good album i can't find any Spiritual influence on it...but let's see what happen...also i was thinking that maybe the old material will be an inspiration for the new album (that actually i think that it won't be released before 1 or 2 years)
It sounded to me like the new album was mostly finished and going through production and mixing. In which case, I feel like the Vault's influence will not be heard until the next-next album, barring another Jason Lader event that results in a tear-down and re-do of the tracks already recorded.
From what I've gathered, they're still writing and still probably far from the finish line for the next record. I thought they'd just been writing and recording off and on, they had more or less finished recording at least 3 songs with Mike Elizondo by the time Won't Turn Back was released, and they've continued working, but I don't recall hearing any details.
I think reviewing old material could inspire them in some way or another. Or, perhaps, they'll choose to use a Curve leftover on the new album instead of releasing it through the Vault. I'm curious if they might add one or two of these old rarities into their sets when they tour again.

Wasn't trying to imply that the albums sound similar or anything like that, just that working with those old songs got them back into that kind of experimental space they hadn't been in for a long while.

I understand what you want to tell...they also told a lot of times that they didn't want to make a Spiritual or Clumsy part 2...i want to tell that for example Spiritual was on another experimental level respect Curve...Curve it's a good album and there are amazing tracks on it and some probably are better than some songs from the first 4 albums, i think to Rabbits (that it's one of my favourite songs of all time also respect other songs from other bands) but I feel like the band didn't push it to the limit...at least for me...it's a personal opinion
@Tinman where do you read of a finished album? I think that the band it's still writing material and i think that they don't know neither the directions to take with the album (it's also unknown if they will continue with Elizondo or they will take another producer), like a lot of us told probably Won't Turn Back was a "safe" release to make the fans happy after Jeremy's departure...and honestly i wish that the style of Won't Turn Back won't be the style of the whole album.

I reborn this thread here Raine before the buzzfest told that they're trying to finish the new album for christmas and then to release early in 2016 and of course confirmed that the record will be produced by Arnold Lanny, just can't wait.....well we have a lot of information (Duncan told that they'd like to release an EP before the end 2015)...then i think that probably the 2016 will be the right year for the new record....damn i can't believe that the latest record was in 2012...it's been a lot of time!
Some good info hopefully the plan of the album out at the first of the new year pans out. I think we should have a better picture after the new year if they've released a single or not
Guys head on https://www.instagram.com/raineanthonymaida/ and listen to the last clip...according to Raine and the band it's the ending of a song titled "Drop Me In The Water"...well guys it's really amazing what we can listen especially our beloved falsetto ...this put on me a lot of hype about new album...definitely can't wait and i wish that 2016 will be the good year for a release
It is now officially the longest period ever between OLP albums, over 4 years since curve on April 2012... previous was just under 4 years from HIPT to BB.
I don't think that this is the end (they have also some dates in summer) but well it's obvious that they take their time to make music...and i don't know why...as for the drummer well i think that Jason Pierce is the one (he played live and he recorded also something in studio)...but we haven't any announcement...this is kinda strange of course
I think the bands been around long enough, and works well enough with the current 3 member line up, that a permanent drummer may never happen. The guys seem to know how to drum well enough between Steve and Duncan, and I mostly expect them to have studio/travel drummers moving forward, playing the content they write. Additionally, it wouldn't be unheard of for the band to have guest drummers collaborate with them.
They're all old and have families, and they are also playing a few upcoming shows. I expect the band to be pretty slow with their content moving forward, but I don't see any indication that they're finished writing and releasing music under the OLP brand. Especially with the amount of work they've done over the last few years working with various producers. I think we'll get some stuff, maybe not as soon as we'd like, but within ~2 years time. What that is, i' not sure. The band has talked a lot about moving away from the typical cd-release method, as times are changing and so is the music medium.
That's probably exactly everything I was going to post, haha. I think they understand they aren't going to be selling out arenas across Canada anymore, and are perfectly ok with that. Each have enough going on outside of OLP to keep them busy and in good financial standing. Raine has revenue from songwriting, producing, and making music with Chantal. Duncan has and is producing albums for several indie bands around Toronto. Steve is in California making music for TV shows, video games, and other projects. They have a formula that works for them, and that is probably what they will stick to. Sucks for us hardcore fans, but the reality is they don't have to turn out a new album every 1-2 years anymore, and they won't.

I really think they're working on an official compilation release. Otherwise I would have expected them to release The Fix in the same way they did Won't Turn Back and Fight the Good Fight. Otherwise, why else sit on it, except because they want to release it as part of an album?
I expect another vault release and some news on new content after they are done with their next few scheduled shows, probably in August. Potentially another vault release coming sooner to tide fans over.
