    Fascinating, they must have turned this into a full, structured song (they produced it)

    wait you're a genius I forgot they prod on this one too!! wonder if jamie is fully involved in the full song too especially knowing how heavy they were working with and inspiring each other for WWALY & In Waves sessions

    Really sorry I didn't save this, but a few days ago they posted a brief snippet on their Instagram story, it had graphics of a cute 3D-animated cassette tape with eyes, arms, and legs, while audio played with WWALY-esque synth stings and sampled audio about recording on tapes and buying tapes from Walmart

    EDIT: It's the 10th slide on this post!

    Here's another website, seems to be related to the rollout.

    yh u get a bunch of different snippets clicking through there, love the web design also

    so it seems "digital archives"/ internet nostalgia might be the theme of the album

    said this a bit prematurely, this might be something but after going through the whole website the main theme definitely seems to be advertising aesthetics

    also as one clue the "theme" opening their early NTS sets was "Angel", the OG vaporwave song by OPN. that teaser is giving me massive OPN vibes wonder if he's maybe involved even

    Takumi Digital Archives are proud to announce a new partnership with recording artists The Avalanches.

    Today sees the launch of a new recording - Together - exploring the themes of memory, identity loss and media decay - built using the actual whirring, clicking and static of aging technologies once used to capture and store personal experience.

    We look forward to a fruitful and efficient relationship with The Avalanches.

    The beat was made using the sounds of old hard drives and the like, neat!
