Looks like there’s a new Needlepoint album coming out in 2 days

Pretty hardcore to find any news or distribution outside Norway for now. Hopefully it will be available more widely soon.
“If a chef at a restaurant fired all his staff, I would still expect the same quality of food if im still paying the full price.”
That’s where our expectations differ I guess. If the chef is temporarily going through some rougher times, I would not go full-on Karen mode because of one slightly less tasty meal than usual, especially after 3 decades of enjoying the same restaurant.
It is sure sad having a crappy sound vinyl but I would cut some slack to the guys having to deal themselves with all the challenges of launching a label and all the problems around vinyl manufacturing nowadays (I run a label myself, it ain’t fun and easy).
In the end, I’ll see Yay and Neigh as a special time in the band’s massive history and would not care much about the vinyl quality of one specific little outtakes record.

Been keeping an attentive ear to your music and watched a few times your live stuff on YouTube. Impressive stuff. Looking forward to a proper EP or LP.Second listen and I don’t think it is a bad album at all. Sure it’s a bunch of outtakes, but it’s more in line with the traditional MP than Yay!, which didn’t do much for me.
“Return to Sanity” is the only song I don’t click with, but many others are very good and could work well live.
If these songs were released on 2 EP in between Kingdom of Oblivion and Ancient Astronaut, that would have been very cool as well.
That random date in Gothenburg makes me hope for a date in Stockholm, or even better somewhere in Finland.
I can be happy with an album of weird noisy outtakes.
“Yay!” didn’t do much for me but I remember being somehow disappointed by “Phanerothyme” back in the day, and it’s an album I go back to the most.A kind friend in the UK scored me a copy. Looking forward to receiving it, the layout and visuals look kind of cool.
Just seeing this now. This is kinda sad in some ways, as Stickman has been such an important part of the Motorpsycho experience.
