There's another new song called Horn Of The Clock-Bike floating around. You can hear it on Spotify here:
https://play.spotify.com/artist/11K0HIZKfdB6ez0VhIgxPm
Apparently there is also an EP called We Are Riled. We Are Spitting Hot. Money, Money, Green Where the Land Was out there, but I can't for the life of me find where it's available legally.
Edit: I found it here, but it seems you need to be a member to download the full thing. But you can hear Think Like They Book Say without being a member.
Saul played in Budapest, Hungary a few days ago with the David Murray Infinity Quartet. It was an amazing performance. I had the opportunity to make a short interview with him (he only had a few minutes, because the band members were tired and had jetlag - they just arrived from the United States).
It will be available in Hungarian language, but if anyone interested, I would love to release it in English. We talked about Lennon/Ono, other artists, NiggyTardust and Year Zero as well.
I am a music journalist in Hungary, but I don't know where to publish it in English. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Love how these two videos are connected. It's weird that the first was uploaded on FADER's account and the second on Saul's VEVO. Anyway...
Burundi:
Horn of the Clock-Bike:
Extremely slow 9-minute version of "Burundi".
Here's my interview with Saul Williams: http://recorder.blog.hu/2015/10/28/_...lliams-interju
It's in Hungarian, but can see my concert photos as well.
If anyone know a site where I can publish it in English, please let me know. Thanks.
Finally have an album cover, tracklist, and release date: Jan 29, 2016

New track posted: The Noise Came From Here
Wow, almost half the album has been released. I'll hold off from now on, I've already spoiled myself too much.
I came here in hopes that Saul was up to something to redeem himself since that God awful Volcanic Sunlight record. Having checked out the three new songs it appears his descent continues. His new stuff is so bad it makes me sort of not enjoy the old stuff. He needs to go kick it with Rick Rubin and CX again! This is just garbage.

So that was a weird thing to happen to me today.

Streaming on NPR
Edit: Anyone know if it's a mistake that this is only 8 bucks on Amazon on vinyl?
Edit-edit: Anyone else think this is the best thing he's done?

Yep, this is def my new favorite album from Saul. Can't stop listening to it.
To those that have listened to MartyrLoserKing: did make it on to the album? A simple 'yes' or 'no' will suffice! If it did, I'm fine with being surprised by which track it's on
Holy shit, The Bear/Coltan as Cotton and Ashes are great
Hooooly shit, it was wonderful.
I listened to it alone in the middle of the night with headphones on, just like I had done with NiggyTardust when the free download popped up on nin.com (eight years ago? Time fuckin' flies). I'm glad he went back into the darkness instead of making another Volcanic Sunlight (which I loved for what it was, but, for the most part, it lacked the bite that drew me into Saul's music in the first place). Of course, there are beats here and there that sound CX-y, and the occasional Trent-y influence can be felt (like the droning guitar in Think Like They Book Say), but now they are only mere elements in Saul's broader sound.
I had tried to listen to as little of the album as possible, since I had spoiled myself by listening to ACSAO, Burundi and Clock-bike (and did so repeatedly due to their awesomeness). Now, I can honestly say I'm glad Saul made one of his best albums ever, packed with very clear and powerful messages, an amazing sonic palette (once again!) and, of course, Saul's breathtaking performances.
Welcome back, Niggy. (Nuthin'!) Shuddup.
On the track Ashes, I wasn't sure if the phrase "Dancing on the corpses ashes" was a term borrowed by At the Drive In from somewhere else or something they came up with... I tweeted Saul if it was a nod to ATDI in and he fav'd it? I tweeted Cedric what he thought about the track and his response was "On point!"
Regardless, real good track... I'm liking this album.
