This is real and the songs are AWESOME.

It's almost criminal that these are just now seeing the light of day, as they're fantastic.

Are these new songs or old leftovers? I thought I rembembered hearing they would be releasing an album of new material sometime in the near future.

EDIT: Just read more of the thread from the forum linked above, and they're old songs.

Yeah. These were recorded around the time of Glider. They're supposed to be released some time in the distant future along with a lot of other re-mastered MBV tracks.

I'm glad to see some of this stuff finally surface. As for the reissues, only time will tell if they EVER see the light of day. When I worked at a record store they were on our list of upcoming releases as far back as 2004. Some of the British mags even preemptively reviewed them last year and early this year like Mojo and The Wire even though they were NEVER released in the US or the UK or any other country for that matter. The release dates for them in 2009 have been pushed back at least seven times as they were originally slated for an April release. I seem to remember reading an article somewhere although I cannot find it now that the reason for this was that Kevin Shields had spent an enormous amount of time listening to mixes of the reissues at such an absurd volume that he had begun to lose part of his hearing (if he hadn't already from their live shows).

And like Portable said already the ones that have leaked are from sessions around Isn't Anything and Glider, or at least that seems to be the general consensus considering how they sound. It has not been confirmed by anyone other than messageboard trolls at MBV fansites that they are anything other than demos as the quality is rough and the leaked versions are low quality 128 kbps mp3 rips.

One more song leaked, so that counts 4 leaked songs.
"Good For You" https://www.yousendit.com/tran...RxU2VnaFJTSURIRGc9PQ

Each of these songs appear on the Remastered EPs collection, which was supposed to be released in Japan in 2004. For reasons unknown, the product was canceled before it reached the distribution stage. One of the more popular speculations is that this happened because too many people pre-ordered it and the label couldn't provide enough copies.

Does the fact that they're surfacing now mean production may start soon? I'm keeping a lookout for 'Instrumental #1', 'Instrumental #2', 'Sugar', and the long version of 'Glider'. Maybe those will leak too!

This actually appears on amazon.com, too.

EDIT: Here's a blog with an MP3 for 'Sugar'.

Oh, those tracks have leaked. Apparently CD-quality compilations of the band's rare/unreleased tracks have been floating around the band's label and management for several years, as someone went ahead and uploaded an entire disc of material at 320kbps.

I have no idea what to think of this. The original EP version is just basically just a 3-4 second loop of layered guitars repeated for 3 minutes with a few changes added througout. At 10:25 of what I'm assuming is the same idea it will either be strangly hypnotic or boring as hell. Most likely it will fall somewhere in the middle.
