A mistake (released sept 2016)? The big announcement? Could be something special - a look into all those diaries!!

Oh man, I'm all over this one. Sounds great:

In 1999, Underworld's Karl Hyde began writing a public diary. Every day since then, Hyde has documented his thoughts, lyrical works-in-progress, poetry and biographical essays alongside 'found' visuals. For the last sixteen years, these entries have collectively created an on-going, utterly unique monologue on Underworld's website.

I Am Dogboy handpicks a selection of diary entries and rearranges them to create an autobiographical narrative that takes Hyde from childhood through to the exploratory early years of Underworld, an electronic act who have been peerless for the last twenty five years. Spliced throughout the narrative are standalone/abstract poetic pieces that offer occasional snapshots of life on the road and in the studio and give an insight into Hyde's singular style of lyric writing.

The book is beautifully designed by John Warwicker - Hyde's long time collaborator and co-founder of the Tomato collective. Karl Hyde and John Warwicker have previously published the typographic books Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You and In The Belly of St Paul.

That sounds amazing. This new release schedule is getting expensive fast...

Karl teased a play the other day though... a misdirection, or do they have that many multiple projects going?

2016 though! Ten months is a long wait.

Well, at this point then, it'd just be much cheaper to just order it from amazon.co.uk. It's only £35 shipped to the US there, which is about $51.
